CMplayer Posted January 23, 2001 Share Posted January 23, 2001 I remember the manual saying that global morale affects the likelihood of your units listening to your orders. What I was wondering was this: as casualties mount, and global morale goes down, will units be more likely to target on their own, and disregard my targetting orders? For instance in the case from another thread where a dug-in gun refused to area fire a Building**, choosing instead to fire at a machine gun, would the gun have been more likely to fire at the building if the Global morale had been higher? Also, would it's C&C status affect it's compliance? Also, has anyone discussed the possibility of being able to _emphasize_ an order? What I mean is: an order where the CO makes it clear, one way or another, that you are to do it, do it now and don't do anything else, because this is a high priority, urgent, order. Normal orders would still be orders of course, but urgent orders would be less subject to the usual sorts of countermanding that take place in the game. This could provide a lot of useful nuances both to movement and fire orders, with a minimum of new commands. Such 'do it now, dammit' orders could, of course, require a special moral check if global morale is low or the unit is suppressed etc....and might even have the unintended consequence of triggering a rout if used indiscriminately. In any case, the option of extremely firm targetting orders could help a lot when you need to coordinate suppressive fire to support an attack, or when you have strategic goals that the tac AI naturally can't understand. regards, --Rett [This message has been edited by CMplayer (edited 01-23-2001).] [This message has been edited by CMplayer (edited 01-23-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
