Every time I tell someone to go somewhere, they walk there.. backwards. It looks ridiculous and I don't know if it's supposed to or not, but I can barely move anyone very far before my turn's up.
It's a little frustrating. I'll probably figure it out before anyone can answer my question, but if you can, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.
(this was JA2 btw)

Looks like some problem with the Alt key? I pressed Alt a bunch of times and sometimes it seems to make them walk forward if I hold it, and it also explains why it wouldn't let me type in a save game name.
Maybe it was because I was alt-tabbing out of the game a lot, and the key got stuck or something.
I knew I'd figure it out!
