Treeburst155 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 This may come as news to some. It certainly was to me. IN CMAK, if the subordinate half of a split squad gets broken or routed (therefore "rattled"), the whole squad will become "rattled" if the squad is rejoined. If the squad is then split again, both halves remain rattled. I ASSUME this is true if the sargeant's half of the squad gets routed to. It's probably unwise to rejoin a split squad if one half has been previously broken or routed. Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicky Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Yes I made the mistake of rejoining a previously broken half-squad with it's unaffected pair, the result was a very fragile whole squad... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wartgamer Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 When you say rattled, is there any indicator of this besides breaking easily? Is this somewhat realistic in that fear spreads? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Originally posted by Wartgamer: When you say rattled, is there any indicator of this besides breaking easily?Yes. A little red button comes on in the corner of the morale window to show that the squad's morale is fragile for the rest of the game. Is this somewhat realistic in that fear spreads? Could be. BFC could tweak it a bit if they chose to so that instead of it being inevitable, there'd only be a probability of it, usually a high one.

Wartgamer Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Never knew that. Thanks. Perhaps this should also be 'recoverable' in that there is achance the red dot disappears over time. With 1:1 modeling, this addds another 'state' the individual soldier might carry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 There's a teeny Mod called GaJ_Rattled or somefink that changes that strange red blob that never meant anything to me into red exclamation marks that make it clear a unit is having problems. I accidentally discovered that this works OK in Tarkus UI as well GaJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
