about the controls...

[Oradow]

when I was playing the demo, I found that, unlike most other RTS games, you cannot create an "attack box" like you can in games such as Homeworld 2. I found this very annoying as without this feature I found myself constantly reassigning targets to my fighter squadrons. Sometimes I don't see obvious things, so I'm just going to fire the question "can you actually make an "attack box" command when giving your ships/soldiers attack orders?" I don't really enjoy a game where I have to order two of my squadrons to attack "this" target every two seconds. I want to take full advantage of the movie mode for the camera!

 

and for those who may not know, what I mean by "attack box" is a command you make when you have a unit or a group of units selected. The "attack box" simply creates a box wherein all enemy units will be put under attack by the units you have previously selected.

I don't think the game has anything like this, neither do any other RTS's I've played ... Have you tryed using "Attack Move" in conjunction with "Waypoints" - that might work?

oh ya...forgot entirely about the "attack move" command. It's been almost a year since I've used it in any RTS game. Well, that solves my problem!

 

thanks!

is there a keyboard shortcut for attack move?
