Edwin P. Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 It would be nice if SC2 allowed players to set desitnation tiles for Naval units. In SC1 if I want the UK Carrier in the Med to move to the Atlantic I have to move it each turn and sometimes I forget. Ideally you could select a naval unit, click the distination tile and at the end of each turn the unit would auotmatically move towards that hex.

With Clusters Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 That's a good idea. It would be nice too if there was some kind of "reminder" function for all (or pre-designated) unmoved units. Don't know how often I would forget to move my random subs as the Axis player (esp. early war, before the Battle of the Atlantic really heated up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 sometimes I forget And how might you feel if you forget to STOP your fleets from moving into the jaws of defeat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I prefer using a Waypoint System Myself...so that i can get to where i want by avoiding enemy contact if that is what i wish!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dave Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 In SC1 if I want the UK Carrier in the Med to move to the Atlantic I have to move it each turn and sometimes I forget. Ah, LOL! And so have I. However, I would not favor any cumbersome way-point system in this large scale game. Seems to me the Game Player has many choices and challenges, not least of which is... taking sufficient time, even IF under relentless pressure from that Most Demanding Foe, to calmly, and thoroughly check ALL of the forces at his command. Some opponents are beserkers, and INSIST upon responses... right now! And wily you? You! can maintain what Hemingway called... "grace under pressure" and keep your head down and GI tin-hat firmly in place. IF you have to check, and re-check... well, that is fine exercise, so that ALL other aspects of your own life will remain in an omnipresent yin-yan accordance... with ever co-evolving Nature. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzgndr Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Fine, but we need a next unit press buttom to run through all our units. What, like the "N" hotkey in SC1 right now that selects the next active unit that has not yet moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I would say what is needed is an auto-locater that will show you which units have not moved yet...then you could decide whether to move those units or not one by one until they have all been cycled through!.

SeaMonkey Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Bill, have you got any hair left to pull out.....myself.....damn little Retributar.....its the "N" key. Before I ever select the "turn finish" I always cycle through all my units using the "N" key to see which ones haven't acted. The units will be cycled through top to bottom, left to right, no need to ever forget moving a unit. The "N" key which is inbetween the "B" key and the "M" key on my keyboard sure saves me a lot of heartache over not commiting a unit's action points for that turn. Did I happen to mention that the "N" key will help you cycle through all your unmoved units quickly and precisely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roosevelt45(the 2nd) Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 What about a 'reinforce all units of this kind' button? Or in SC2 a 'upgade all units of this kind' button? This could be very usefull when you're controlling huge armies like the Russian or German armies during(and after) Barbarossa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Only thing is R45, there may be specific requirements before your allowed to upgrade or reinforce and are you sure you would want to upgrade or reinforce those type units all over the map? I kind of like to use my low strength units for garrisoning/partisan suppression duties until I get enough MPPs to bring them back into the fray.

Roosevelt45(the 2nd) Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 All right, the reinforce button is a bit extreme but I would like the ability to upgrade all air fleets at once and see how much it will cost without having to grab the calculator and spending a lot of time searching the map for my air fleets. This is unlikely for the air force but imagine that you want to upgrade your Russian armies with the latest anti-tank tech before going into Germany. This would take quite a while and in multi-player(not PBEM), irritate your opponent(unless of course that's your point, I've noticed that my opponents start making a lot of mistakes when they're impatient to strike back zt me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
