Scipio Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Would it be a good idea to change the current order system by combining movement type and aggressivness? For it example: I have now a sneak order, which causes my infantry to take cover when dicovers, a normal move, and a fast move. If I could now set the agressiveness for a unit like 'agressive' - priority is fighting 'neutral' - priority is movement 'defensive' - prioty is cover Now combine this with the movement - (crawl), sneak, move, run for example - sneak agressive: sneak through the wood, kill everything that moves sneak defensive: sneak through the wood, hide and spy the enemy run agressive - assault a target run neutral - reach a position, don't engage even if you get under fire from somewhere run defensive - try to reach a position, but don't let Fritz make a Schaschlik from you. Well, just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 i would love to see this in CM (if possible ). it would be nice to be able to TELL your men to move to somewhere but not to shoot. yes im sure this is on some list of wishes, but it would add something nice. i dont think that would make it gamey either. its not to hard to tell even green troop to move quietly to those trees and "dont shoot at anything!" but, who could ever trust green boys!

Hilltopper Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 This would be a great option to have. I would also like to see target selections...like fire on only hard targets, fire at everything, fire on soft targets less than 50 yards, etc, etc... I can't stand it when a zook team in hiding opens up on infantry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 Good idea. It sounds like SOPs though, which won't be done until the engine rewrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 Sounds like a good idea but as Vanir Ausf B said not going to happen till CMII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen-x87H Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 ? so we can tell those panthers to quit picking at those US foot soldiers at 200m and target the tank! drives me crazy!" You are lucky then. Because my Panthers usually will turn 90degrees to fire at some trooper 600 meters to the left or right and then get smacked in the side with a shell from an opposing tank. Cats get hurt that way.

Scipio Posted August 2, 2001 Author Share Posted August 2, 2001 As addtion/correction : the movement 'type' would be better defined as 'movement speed' - slow, normal, fast So slow defensive = sneak and hide slow and agressive = sneak and engage Well, we will see if and when this will be realized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
