A new command for Commander Battles
« on: April 10, 2013, 03:22:24 pm »
I've noticed in Commander Battles, the frequent issue of having all of your soldiers facing the wrong way. Whether they're shooting at the wrong line - I've had my whole line shoot at a cavalry regiment on the other side of the map but ignore the enemy infantry 50 meters in front of us - or if they are facing the wrong way while retreating. My suggestion is to add commands that allow you to tell your soldiers to face a different direction, IE- "Face Right", "Face Left", and "About Face" this would allow the player to keep a tighter leash on his soldiers and keep them from screwing up so much.

And going along with this suggestion I would like to recommend the ability to wheel infantry lines. It's usefulness goes without saying really. I'm sure anybody who's played commander battle knows how useful these things could be.

I agree entirely A wheel command and a face command would be really useful.

I think that your soldiers should face the direction your facing when you give a command. (Only when your standing next to them of course) I feel as though commands like "About Face" would kind of be unnecessary and make stuff more technical but than again that's just my opinion and it might actually make the gameplay more realistic or whatever. They aren't real in-game players so I think things should be kind of left where they are but just with a few minor edits, don't get me wrong though I've experienced the same situation as you described.

Oh this definitely needs to be sorted out. It's a damn pain in the arse when your chaps aim for a regiment miles out instead of another regiment which is much closer and to an angle facing you for example.

I think you have a good point there
