RTS, squads and screw zulu

change number of squads to 9

so A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I

the entire squad can be selected by the commander, from the commander view
by using the 1-9 buttons on the keyboard, so just like ctrl+1 and then 1 on age of empires.

have 0 select every player on your team.


PROS
more control over the hordes,
no zulu squad or sasquatch squad,
less idiots by themselves in yankee squad

CONS
devs have to do some work

 

Lets remove features!

 

having 1 player per squad in a 50 player game isnt beneficial for anybody.

and that many squads ARE NOT A FUCKING FEATURE

 

lol is it necessary to have all those squads A-Z? i mean at most only 4-5 squads will be full in a normal game.. even if you had only 2-3 per squad that would mean only half the available would be used.

to give commander more "commanding" have him set up the squads. =P

 

People who join a squad alone just wont join a squad if you remove their whiskey etc.

You can't force teamplay, you can only encourage it.

 

I want this.

 

empty - you are fighting logic, good luck (because luck is illogical, get it ?).

 

This is true.

Also 26 squads for the nato phonetic alphabet.

You can use ctrl + letter key instead of regular rts control groups because control groups are stagnant.

Or you can just use regular rts control groups.

 

how is having 26 squads beneficial to the game ?
no time soon will we have 130 people per team - or 260 people per server.

 

Different people prefer different letters of the alphabet.

Why do you think clothes come in a variety of colors?

 

seriously your argument is personal preference ?
you are not taking this seriously are you ?

 

Why can't we have a feature that people like?

 

having 26 squads IS NOT A FEATURE, and if it IS a feature - then its a feature of poor decisions, bad design and inbuilt failure.

giving people "choice" of 26 squads only confuzzles the poor bastards. by reducing the number of squads we can prevent people trying to play alphabet soup while choosing a squad.

 

im with omen on this one. I do like having all the different squads but its NOT needed and makes it a bit more difficult for the com to manage. 1-9 is easy.

We could compromise by allowing any alphabet but ONLY 9 squads can be made.

 

Or just think about this: When have you seen all the squads used??

Yes, reduce the number of squads...

CONS: Are we even anywhere close to have a server for 90+ people? that would be the limit for the 9 squads.

 

I'm against omneh. this is actually a really good suggestion.

 

Eh?

Also, I fully endorse this so long as I get to name my squad.

 

Yes! Custom named squads would be awesome! :D :D :D

 

no cyber killer, omneh is just messing with you - there will be no! penis squad
