Party command menus - help!

[Yeekim]

Hi,

Is is just me, or is the battle commands system retar...uhm... strange?
There seems to be like three different menus of commands for keys F1-F5 and it seems you have to toggle between them by pressing F1-F3 as well.

This way, if I want my party to charge, I end up telling them "use blunt weapons". Is there a way to avoid this? Couldn't they include a separate "toggle menu" key?

I admit, I haven't paid for my own copy yet... but if it really is as bad as it feels right now, I won't either. Please tell me I am the stupid one here!

I dunno, for me it also switches to blunt weapons every once in a while. I'm sure there is a way to control these menues, though - I just haven't figured it out yet.

With keys 1 to 9 you select the group - 0 is 'all' - and with F1 to F3 you give commands.
I don't think it's that difficult but you need to press more buttons than in M&B. It feels more clumsy
(Remember you can hold down F1 to toggle 'curser flag' or whatever you call it)

I agree it is strange. I was hoping for a complete overhaul of the command system in Warband. A bit more like Total War maybe? Unfortunately they managed to make it *more* complicated.
