Unit formation

[Smokey]

This would really help.

[The answer is the question]

Yeah tactics.

[Gonzo850]

Good suggestion. Especially since this game focuses more on tactics than strategy.

-Diamond formation for when we are surrounded.
-Wedge formation for when we assault.
-Line formation for when we are defending.
-Column formation for when we are not sure what side we are going to get attacked from first.

Agree, it would be nice and suit the game.

Thanks, same could be said about your response!

+1 for formations. A tactical wargame should stress small unit tactics.

yes indeed

The original RTS starship troopers actually had this. You could set formations so your more elite units where protected in the middle or you could spread them out to cover more area.

I would agree

[Simbach Vazo]

Great idea. Maybe customized formations, like, select a group of units and save however they're arranged to move in that formation. Would help for when I need certain units in certain spots and I dont want to select each one to move them.

Hold right click and rotate...

But yeah some extra formation options would be nice.

[Gonzo850]

Echelon Right and Echelon Left formations would also be awesome in my opinion. I have seen these formations be available on other games but they were never required or used properly in gameplay. This game could make use of these in a very ideal manner because we are fighting bugs and not human beings. The idea behind these formation is that the leader is expecting enemy contact from a specific side and they are focusing their fire power to that specific side.

They aren't great at actually forming or facing the way you want. It's really hit and miss, usually you need to move them backwards or forwards to shimmy them into the correct orientation.

for some reason they like to put mech in first line with infantery which is dumb if i have Epulse i want them first , second mech + rocket unit and behind the tac or radio guy

[Smokey]

Skirmish would be a great idea....something like C&C
