Hold + unit objective

[gull2112]

Can you give a unit a hold order with a unit objective? This could be useful for spearmen or skirmishers that want to get in another unit's face but not charge. Also, it would allow a unit to block another unit, but not get drawn into an unwanted attack. Kind of like a defensive half-back that is trying to prevent a reciever from slipping by while trying not to get bogged down by the offensive linemen.

Yes it could be useful; no you can't (legally) do it.

Actually you can, it just only does something if your unit has a ranged attack (stand around, but shoot that guy if he's in range.)  I've occasionally used it for that; it can be helpful for focusing fire with crossbowmen in a stand and shoot build for example.

We've also been talking about changing it to be "get up in that guy's grill" but haven't yet come to any firm conclusion.

Oopsie.  Yeah, what Niko said.
