Regroup command & map ideas

Eden · Post by **Eden** » 2005-12-10 17:16

Someone mentioned this while I was playing.

I think it would be a good idea to have a regroup command.

I also thought if we have a grid map (A1, A2, B1, B2 etc) when the SL gives the command to regroup the grid number he has asked everyone to go to will be called out as well and a marker placed on your main map.

Thinking on the fly here, you could also implement this with every the other commands.

More thoughts what about letting the commander or SL create simple tactical plans.

Is it possible to do so, is it realistic?

What you said sounds good. Something else I would like to add in the spirit of a tactical command map is the ability to place several orders at once. As in the new order is added to a list instead of replacing the old order. So you can order your squad to assault an enemy control point, after which a new order, e.g. they will have to defend one of your other CP's, will automatically come into effect. I think such a thing would be useful since it is not always handy to set a new order in the middle of a fight. Gets you killed and all that.

Purely wishfull thinking, the commander or squadleader should be able to do whatever they want to the minimap (commanders editing shows to SL and SL shows to squadmembers).

Just rightclick on the map, select "shape->green->small circle", slap it down, select "text->green->large", write "regroup position" and all done. Or what about "shape->red->big arrow" and then "freeform->red->thin" and draw a route to the arrow using a simpler pencil. By using a really simple RGB scheme and enable/disable color one could make simple tactical plans in 3 steps (select "options->show only selected" and then "show->red" (with ticks on them)). Could of course use many more colors, but this is simple as I said

yea queing up orders would be awesome.

also, it would be nice to unload your last command. sometimes there is no clear move point, and you just want there to be no command, at this time there is no way to get rid of a command other than placing another one.
