Add a tool to help with preparing battle plans

Post by Peresvet »

Please, consider adding a tool to draw battle plans on game map to siplify planning of operations. For example, this is how a similar tool looked like in HoI3.

Link to a thread discussing the need for such a tool: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=5033144. It looks like most of the players agree that such a tool would be very helpful.

I agree, would be perfect. HOI screen looks good with those arrows BTW.

Keeping track of units and desired locations with a tool like this would make this game seem far less daunting from a management standpoint.

Just wanted to bump the thread. Miss the feature sooo much. Even if the map drawing tool were as simplistic as in Armored Brigade (https://imgur.com/JTfAYBS), it would still be of HUGE value.

It's a lame excuse. The programmers routinely have to implement features that were never supposed to be implementable with the initial architecture. It's a matter of priorities and business needs. As users, we can try and bump the priority of this feature high enough, so that the developers eventually agree that it's worth implementing.
