FIX THE COMMANDS

[Warshard]

I love this game but it needs a LOT of work when it comes to commanding the villagers to do what you want them to do. Not being able to have them work on what I tell them to is frustrating beyond what other colony sims have already taken care of. PLEASE fix your command system.

yup and no "select all". Command all settlers to move to X location but just 80% of them will move only. 2 or 3 out of 8+ settlers won't move to the X location, and need to pause the game again to give order to move 1 by 1 like XCOM.

You can click-drag to select everyone pretty easily. As for commands, as far as I'm aware and seen they only take direct commands if you have them drafted, and I've had no issues getting all 10 of my people to go to specific spots when drafted.

There is definitely an issue. I experienced this many times, when a raid starts you select & draft everyone and send them all up to the towers - and usually 1-3 of them don't go but the rest do. So you have to watch and make sure they are all going to the destination you set.

Yup, have the same problem from time to time.

I'd love to see a town bell. Build it somewhere, then when you ring it all settlers become drafted and run to that spot.

And what I'd really really love (but don't expect to ever see it) are assigned posts. Basically you'd be able to set a certain spot for each settler to go to. Then ring the bell and have the settlers draft and run to their assigned spots to defend.

I'm having the same problem sometimes, I think there's something with the pathfinding AI

Aye, there are definitely inconsistencies; sometimes they don't all seem to get the memo.. Not counting the time someone got stuck in a basement cos I undermined the stairs out... :)

I like these ideas. Shouldn't be *difficult* to add...
