![]() ![]() These units are also relatively common, so keep in mind these combos will not work on them since they rely on the spinning mechanic. Units with the “heavy” property do not spin around to face their attacker.Please see this video – (or imgur slideshow – if you prefer) for a demonstration on this. Utilizing this mechanic, you can chain multiple flank attacks together against a unit, having them rotate and expose their backs to your other units in the process. Like with other Age of Wonders games, units will “turn to face their attacker” if they get attacked from a direction that they aren’t currently facing. Here we have an enemy Therian prowler looking downward: It also works with enemies, which is relevant for planning flanking attacks if you aren’t sure which way they’re facing for whatever reason. Here we’re looking “up” toward the Therian units: The darker, stationary green line that shows up indicates the current direction. To see for sure what direction a unit is facing, you can select them then click the “rotate” action. Some units in the game don’t make it obvious which way they’re facing (this is often a tip-off they might have “all around awareness”, but not always). Question: which direction is this unit facing? What if the direction the unit is facing isn’t obvious? Even if your unit is in defensive mode and “can’t be flanked”, they could potentially be staggered out of defensive mode and then flanked, so it’s recommended you just get into the habit of always doing it. You can click the rotate action on the unit or right-click the unit and drag toward the direction you want them to face. Rotating and Unit Direction Rotating Unitsīecause being flanked depends on which direction your unit is facing, it is advisable to rotate units to face the enemy after moving. ![]() Heroes can also invest skill points into getting this, which is especially handy on melee heroes which are susceptible to being flanked once they get in close. The unit will need to be staggered out of defensive mode in order to be flanked in that case. This is important to remember and is by far the most common defense against flanking. ![]()
