Orders delay

[Rinco]

For the ones that are already playing the game, hows the general feeling regarding orders delay? It is used to be sometimes quite harsh with Red Storm sometimes...or at least i remember lots of discussions about it back then...I understand that the devs put a lot of work on this too...could this be modded in anyway? Might sound a little bit gamey, but I am curious...

Thanks,

I would just go to FCSS/Modules/Common/Data/(any nation) and edit the xls file. Changing the delays seems super-easy under the Nations tab, as was the previous game.

I am a nobody, but PM me if you need help in this area.

Best wishes,

Thanks Mike! It is I think more hardcoded in Red Storm. I am referring to delays at applying orders for the units in general, not the artillery, or calling airstrikes, that indeed you can adjust in the Nation excel..

My best wishes to you too.

I have found the orders delay not as severe in SS compared to RS. If you want to get a unit moving quicker, I have found if the first move is a hasty move, they start moving sooner than if you gave them a deliberate or assault. You can edit the waypoints and change the movement for the rest of the waypoints to be what you want.

Interesting....thanks cbelva!

Yes, and this is shown pretty well in the tutorials, where you want to get moving but then be more deliberate as contact is expected.

Got it. Thanks! I have also noticed, as prevoulsy stated by Mike, in one of the dev logs that the national excel has a new delay column in minutes at the leaders tab. Could be, it seems, an option for modding the order delay as well. Interesting... love the modding potential that the devs are giving to the players.
