Thoughts on removing split move

Postby speed2 » 08 May 2017, 09:07

I think it only adds some fucked up unit movement and should be removed.

Well split attack does exactly what we wanted it to do, i've no issue with it.
as for split move, well it doesn't split unit in equal group toward different location. So it doesn't achieve what it was suppose to. But i don't really care about having the current one in the game tbh.

Yes, remove the only tool we can use to get units to reliably move sometimes

I use split move/attack a lot, if you dont like it, dont use it?

Blocking of acu can be done without split move and sometimes even more efficient.

This. I don't like the 50% chance of my units randomly retreating to form a formation with 1 tank in my base.

how the hell split move can replace formation move? xD
they seem to be very different to me.

also when you use formation move then your army at 1rst will group up, if some of selected units were at the back then some units will go back some units will go forward untill they meet and form a formation/
