retreat order and or repair order

Post by tkobo »

I dont think the retreat order re-asserts itelf. I think it needs to be paired with a repair order. So when the retreat order is given,the unit starts to retreat and does so to the max of its fuel ability (no stopping to fire at the enemy), and then when the retreat order is halted due to fuel ,a repair order is auto issued to that unit.So that the unit will then proceed to the nearest repair facility.

So retreat becomes retreat and repair.This will declutter the battle areas AND keep a lot more units alive :P

Not directly, but some of the order response stuff got touched when fixing aircraft movements.

I think you should remove the resource requirement for units to move when the retreat order is issued.

So that when a retreat order is issued,either by the player or the ai,the unit can move as per the retreat order even if it has no fuel.

if you do that, and tie a repair order to an ai given retreat order ,units will be able to retreat and remove themselves into repair and off the active map.

This might require a "retreat point" feature to be added ,as a barracks or required mil facility wont always be available to the unit.
