Introduction

The Era of Warring States is upon Caldaria. 13 Factions fight for the unification and bring peace to the people. Who will be victorious?

Based on the Diplomacy mod by Wahiti, the Warring States brings more action and intrigue beyond the native play. Will you be King or a Kingmaker? The choice is yours.

Changelog: 15 Oct 2010 a
--------------------------------
+ Updated Diplomacy Mod
+ Motomataru's Battle Formation Kit added
+ Fixed Captain Boomer's End Quest

Any time in-game that you have a formation form or "Hold," it will set up near the position that the player had when the command was issued: infantry to the left, cavalry to the right, and archers up front. Additionally, the formations may maintain the same FACING that the player had (depending on mod design).

Whenever a unit first forms a particular formation, troops may spread out for ease of forming up (depending on mod design).

Player troops start every battle in formation.

Unless changed by mod design, formation key bindings are:
"J" for ranks
"K" for weapon-based ranks (shieldwall, phalanx)
"L" for wedge (the player ought to reassign the "L" for "Log" mapping)
";" for square
"U" for no formation (undo formation)

Archers have no formation other than their starting line. They are put in formation for practicality's sake. Once unformed, they cannot be reformed (since the player can just use F1 to "reform" them).

Cavalry will not make any formation other than the wedge.

Charge (and Dismount for cavalry) will undo a formation. The player may Advance multiple times to have a formation move toward the average position of the enemy. Or use the order panel or hold-F1 to place them (or sweep them across the enemy for the cavalry wedge).
