 |
|
Why not do what DOW and halo wars are doing. Instead of building indervidual units why don't build teams of units (eg. Instead of building 1 tank build 3 and those three move as one unit would eg. I select the "unit" of tanks and attack the base one of the tanks die, but I still have 2 tanks in my "unit.")
It would be perfect for the iPod touch/iPhone control system |

| I think building individual units and the ability of assign the units to a "squad" would be more flexible and realistic. |

I'm assuming that somehow this squad, when selected, would select all units? Another suggestion (doesn't have to be implemented) would be for some sort of shortcut to jump to these units (the screen quickly shifts to the location of the units in the squad. Maybe a maximum of 2-3 squads? This would also be a good alternative to using the mini map to jump around as it is very difficult to work with.
Edit: Did some more thinking on this. Maybe you can select an area and designate it as a "squad" for you to jump to. Still only a maximum of 2-3 though. |

| Yes. I responded to a similar thread in this forum called "Unit Selection" that illustrates how it would basically work. I do like the idea oh selecting the UI key to quickly focus on the assigned squad. I'll add it to the list. |
