The Concluded RTS
Right, so for various dif. units, and groups different moves and tactics should be possible. For example, if I designate a group of cavalry, as cavalry, and then I should be able to order them to charge, through an opposing group, or to a point, and then either return or move on to the next position I want them.
The problem, for example with what happens right now, is that if you send your horse to charge, they’ll just charge through, and instead of mowing down some archers, for example, they’ll just run through them, being shot at from all angles.
That is one thing that needs to change, at least for the way most RTS use horse.
Another issue is something I’ve mentioned before, that pike men, when joined with archers do not adhere to the logical role they should play, that of protecting the archers, but they break formation very stupidly. Instead, it should at the very least be possible to designate a group of archers/pikemen, to fight together.
The other thing is artillery, while they aren’t as bad as usual, setting units to guard them is impossible, and they too, quite naturally break formation, when they aren’t supposed to. It can get on your nerves, very lieterally.
The guard feature needs therefore to be worked out for units too, not just buildins etc.
Actually, even if just this feature, and none of the others I’ve talked about is worked out, and we can then set aside troops to do something specific, in terms of strategy, we’ll have much more fun, though the unreality of having to deal with war/ peace simultaneously could also be removed.
