Oak as Parent

How to control those spirits?

from Stardock Forums

So oak has a bunch of spirits flying around.  95% of the time I notice they are unruly children, attacking anything that is visible.  But sometimes i've seen them all line up by my side...patiently awaiting orders.  I like both behaviors, but i don't know how to command them.

The only command I know how to give to minions is "attack that particular guy over there."  Works great.  But I'd love to issue a "regroup by my side and stay put, don't attack" command.  I figure the "regroup" command would be just my ticket.  I've never seen that command do anything.  I can click it all I want and nothing happens.  It would be particularly useful to get my spirits to stop attacking towers, and stick by my side.

What am I missing?

they will line up whenever you issue a move command into "nonhostile" territory. Basically, if they have been issued a move command and haven't engaged they will line up all pretty.

Regroup simply means that the angels become "reattached" to you and will copy whatever you do. Want to kill some creeps? They'll be happy to oblige.

What you want to do is push "Select Special" (don't know what that is in the default layout, I have it remapped to B) then click somewhere behind you. Of course, don't forget to reclick Oak so you issue him order and not your spirits.

You are very helpful.  You also have a sublime screen name.  Though it does make me think of a wiffle ball stuck in a bush. :w00t:

I think the default is 'I' for spirits. Although remapping to the badass smiley button works too :D
