Which commands would you need to control a small army, do you want them specialized or single and what would your definition of a small army be? this is what i think: 6 units is a small army You can tell it to: Defend Pos (tank units use lower damags and increse def) Attack Pos (opposite of Def) Focus (archers Focus fire on target) Special (executes special tactics) Mana Save (casters don't use spells) Mana Spend (opposite of mana save) Offensive Casting (cast harmfull spells only) Defensive Casting (cast helpfull spells only) Follow (folow you) Stand Ground (opposite of follow) Also i think they should be different on every unit... not generally. I think nine is pretty much the limit for things you can do... any more would be cumbersome. |

You need 1 more, If nto already. just plain "Cast Spells". I see Offence, Defence spell selections, but no Just cast tpye thing? Maybe they will auto do it in game, but I dunno. Or is that "Special Tactics" thing just like Cast Spells? Should mana save mean like "Use lowest costed spells infrequently"? Cause no spells kinda defeats the purpose of Spellcasters... Hmm maybe if they really need mana they could cast no spells, just give em a ranged attack then. Is there also a defualt button? Like Dont save or spend, just do normally? Hmm.. I know it would be hard, but I think it is possible to make a thing where the units will follow mouse and move to it/attack the clicked unit clicked on by the mouse... Is it possible to detect where a mouse is on screen? |
