heaping up units the disgrace of the art of war

Post by spit4brains »

This has anoyed me from the first version of wz is that units will litarly form a pile"usualy near a factory dropoff" so that almost no movement is possible"think of a narrow road your tanks are guarding or your trucks trying to pass a bunch of tanks " no units can pass them or move out of the way :augh: so in the end you wishing that the enemy will destroy them so you can have some movement. so cant they make a way that either your own units can move through each other or just have something automaticaly make units move out the way so others can pass without all of them heaping up :?: I am not a programmer but other games have done this :lecture: lastly these hover tanks never seem to find rest if there are a bunch of them they never stop moving like they are danceing... and what is with the single file attacks :annoyed: this is war not standing in line to have a go at your enemies so what about a few formations, attack strageties alowing to plan your atack ahead and then just activate the plan ect :? with that all said they have done a great job sofar in making wz a very great game to play :wink:

I've been wondered about units formation, too. But, if there is unit formation, units with faster speed must slow down to wait for slower units (just like in AoE 2) :hmm:

heaping up units "tanks" anoy me more than formations because they seem to be "blind" driving straight into another and then try crashing their way through until they give up. I have seen that faster units do actualy slow down if you select them as a unit(wel it does this in campaign and skirmish duno about mp) but then the faster and slower packs should form their own formations or maby thats too much to ask lol
