Unit type deferral during orders phase.

Open Lexxie9952 opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Selection and order mechanics and controls -- this is a huge area for continued improvement of playability and I'll mention there are many more we can do. Here is another.

Defer on asking what to do with a certain type of unit: for example, if you are in the late game and it keeps teleporting around the map asking what to do with engineer #33, but you are in a hurry to move units to react on the battlefront, then it is not only terrible for game experience and playability, but can literally force you to lose battles and die.

If you had something like W for wait but it's shift-W to not ask anymore what to do with this type of unit until all the other more important units are asked, this one change would fix one of the things that is not only most annoying, but can ruin the end of a very long game just by not being able to move your important units fast enough.
