Can you still make troops move and attack automatically?

So its been a few months since i have played this, i remember not having to do everything manually before. Also how do you spawn vehicles now?

Not sure what you mean by "move and attack normally", but you can select squads and vehicles with a click and send them to their destination with a second click (just like any RTS). Your units will fire at any enemy unit that's visible, within range, and which can be damaged by your squads' weapons (unless you have them on "hold fire" orders.)

You spawn vehicles by building up CPs from controlling objectives, then paying the vehicle's CP cost.

I think he is referring to shooting on the move, I'm not sure on the exact button but I think if you right click once for where you want your infantry to go, they'll shoot enemies if they see them whilst moving. Correct me if im wrong as I prefer to stop to shoot.

[DasaKamov]

Correct; single-clicking to move will have your units fire upon enemies (with an accuracy penalty) as they approach their destination. Double-clicking to move means that the unit will move at full speed toward their destination while ignoring enemies.

Thanks, but why do my troops just get destroyed when they fight now? 8 of them just get mowed down by a single enemy, and then i dont have enough mana to spawn more, so i have to take control of someone and do it myself

Yep boy, you have come to the right place for an answer. This topic has been discussed many times. "8 of your soldiers are mowed down by single enemy". This is called the imbalance between RTS (Real Time Strategy, where you are commander while the fighting is done by your ai soldiers) and FPS (First Person Shooter, where you become the soldier). This imbalance happens because AI soldiers in this game were designed for an RTS game and they can not go against fully functionaI FPS feature. I think you played with hardcore FPS players where they play this like Call of Duty. I don't know how Devs will balance this to be honest. But for now to have more balanced gameplay, only play in match where RTS mode is turned on or FPS is on but without the hardcore mod (Match with hardcore mode on has skull symbol with it). To me the most balanced and enjoyable setting so far is FPS without hardcore mode.

Here is another discussion about the problem.
