Before all, sorry for my bad english. I hope that you'll understand the gist of my idea.

I think that it would be cool if we could give orders to our companions in adventure mode. Not complicated orders, but indications like : "wait here", "protect me", or "attack this target". Because sometimes, during a battle, the situation escalates because of the lack of coordination between my companions, and they die foolishly, while a little order like "gather yourselves" would have saved them all. I must say that our companions have the annoying habit to charge in the fray once they see an enemy.

So, I don't know if that would be possible, but add an option to give orders to our companions would be great.

I noticed that in the three posts you have made you haven't been welcomed to the forums.

So,welcome to Bay12 and we hope you have a pleasant stay!

On topic I'm pretty sure companion order's are planned.

let me one up that.. i'm 100% sure it is planned, and in fact implemented already in the as yet unreleased next version, albeit with limited commands you can give

Thank you.

Okay, so, I wait it impatiently

Small resurrection.

It is possible to give orders with the help of scripts (Deon's Genesis mod has quite a great command menu for adventure mode). But companions would still charge to the first enemy they see. It's more of a strategical advantage then a tactical one. You can select a small blitz party or position companions where you need them beforehand.

Also, outfitting companions with it is possible (although I prefer DFHack adv-bodyswap).
