Movement commands

[sttp]

Just an idea for CMx3. I think there's a need for a movement command in between Slow (crawl) and Move, and another in between Move and Quick. A hierarchy like this:

 

"Crawl" (the current "Slow")

"Creep", or "Tip-toe", or "Quiet"... something like that, with a speed somewhere near the middle of the current Slow and Move commands, plus it wouldn't tire troops out as fast as the current Hunt does.)

"Move" (which could remain as is)

"Hustle" (a little slower than the current Quick... halfway between the current Move and Sprint)

"Sprint" (fastest, which could be left as is.)

 

Then maybe a "Hunt" or "Scan" box could be checked which could be used with some of those (Creep, Move, and Hustle). This would modify the spotting routine and rate of tiring.

I know some people will say this would be too much micro-managing, but it's only one more movement command. Plus the check-box option. (Or just keep Hunt as is.)

My bold - When I read that I just cannot help but think of this:

Yep, I am one of them. I would rather have only one command “go and do the “needful”. And, of course, an AI smart enough to carry that out.

We can't have a "Hustle" command. I'd spend the whole time adding the words, "..and do the Double Bump" in a vaguely James Brown-ish kind of way.
