Vice-Marshals

[Kain]

Can Vice-Marshals actually do anything mechanic-wise? I could have sworn I had seen some Vice-Marshal atleast command the formation in battle sometime but now I have two of my chars as vice-marshals and no new options seem to be available.

[De-Legro]

They will implement the formation the marshal selected when the marshal is not present, but they can't select the formations themselves. Mechanics wise no, they get nothing new to play with.

It's like being a substitute teacher--you just follow the plan laid out by the regular teacher.

Yep. You are nothing more than a side kick. You will barely have a chance to order people if you are a vice-marshal.

Depends on who your Marshal is, and whether he is trying to train you for the chains of command.

No matter who your marshal is, you don't get any new game mechanics as a vice-marshal.

I was specifically answering whether you barely get a chance to order people as vice-marshal.

Would say it depends on the Marshal. If I am busy i'll give general (Not General) orders and let my VM enact them his way.

That's exactly what I just said.

Chain of Commands and Busy are not the same thing ;)
