Questions and Suggestions

Post by bssybeep »

Purchase and download went smoothly as usual. Love the random battle and campaign generator (main reason for purchase). I briefly went through the tutorial and the manual but had some questions:

1.How do I toggle the overhead unit icons? I see them in the screenshots but they are not on in the game. Therefore, I am having difficulty locating units.

2.How do I cancel a movement order? Tried delete, backspace and looked for a right-click command to no avail.

3.How do I set waypoints? Or is the path always automatically calculated.

4.A suggestion: It would be nice to be able to save replays (made same suggestion for CM but never happened).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bssybeep,
ORIGINAL: bssybeep
1.How do I toggle the overhead unit icons? I see them in the screenshots but they are not on in the game. Therefore, I am having difficulty locating units.

The "I" key toggles between the icon/no icon options. The "U" key toggles between showing orders/fire for the selected unit/platoon/side.
2.How do I cancel a movement order? Tried delete, backspace and looked for a right-click command to no avail.

It's the "Halt" order that you want for that, or just switch to a non-moving order like Defend->Stay or Engage->Hold.
3.How do I set waypoints? Or is the path always automatically calculated.

The path is calculated, so if you want to do a funky maneuver you should do it in separate steps.
4.A suggestion: It would be nice to be able to save replays (made same suggestion for CM but never happened).

Thanks, this one is already on our wish list for the next release, I'll add your vote. Thanks for your support!

Regards,

- Erik

Thanks for the quick reply.  Sorry, I suspected most of my questions were answered in the manual but somehow I missed it.
 
So far it looks like Kharkov with its random battle and campaign generator is joining my Matrix favorites of Advance Tactics, Forge of Freedom, and Commander War in Europe.
