Where did orders go?

I really enjoyed these and just these parts made this game stand a head and shoulders above TABs and other similar games.

I know this game is not supposed to be ultra realistic or anything, but orders help so much.

Where did they go?

Copied from another post that i made.


A game like this which is designed to be tactial, should not have strategy ability removed to streamline, If anything, they should of added those, and basically "Units without orders, will preform their own, related to these, Units with orders, will follow orders first, and when they run out or complete their orders, they will then revert to default behaviour."

Also, If you look back at any youtube video showing off the Demo campaign for Demo 5, You can see they completely changed how they portrayed it, it feels like they scrapped a decent chunk of what they had made, then made a "Quick fix" for release.

It's why I refunded it, .I was super excited for this, and yet now it's...so much faster, so much loose "Throw your units down and cross your fingers" style play that...If I wanted that I would play basically any other battle simulator....

I
I totally agree. I am by no means trying to pile on these guys, but I would love to hear the rational for removing orders and thinking just randomly placing units on a map would be fun. Also Demo 5 campaign was awesome. This new campaign setup removed any type of connectivity I had with running a campaign. I fill like your just randomly picking circles. I don't know why you would pull a total 180 from the gold they had. Hopefully they can change it.

Yeah this question exactly

I noticed they commented on scrapping multiplayer saying "no plans" and nothing else, but none of the more than a dozen negative reviews and discussions asking this have any reply from a dev.

please remember this is a small team And not A large well known Company Like Landfall. They had to cut it and Besides. It Wasnt 100% worth it as they Could barely test the Multiplayer. It was like the Betas aswell you had to get picked to get into the multiplayer In its early stages. please take that into consideration. also TABS also had cut and delay a bunch of stuff. The Unit Editor wont be out for a while in TABS.

but back to Orders, Why. I dont get Why you cut it out. It seems to still Exist in a form of the units Movement arrows but thats it.

I've seen more ambitious multiplayer from small devs, but yeah my big thing is the orders feature because while multi would be fun with friends, lack of orders really breaks depth.
