Default Re: New Automation Features

5) Commander Queue

One commander/turn/province is fine, but if you want to make a priest EVERY turn in a province, it is tedious to have to enqueue one every turn. A commander production queue (even a short one, of 5 units) that still only produced 1 commander per turn would be a godsend.

6) Multi-unit Enqueue

In Total Annihilation (the king of RTS anti-micromanagement features) you could shift-click to enque 5 units instead of 1. That would be REALLY useful when enqueueing militia, slingers, lobo guards, and other cheap units. A "Repeat" order would be nice, but would require modification of the game engine.

7) Enqueued Resources Counter

Want to know how many resources of units you have enqueued in a province? I always do. Why not add a counter, so people don't accidentally go over the max (and enque things that can't be produced that turn)?

8) Production Dequeue

Sometimes, when my buget is tight, I go one unit over the max that can be produced in a turn... and I have to clear the entire darn queue to get it just right. The ability to dequeue the Last unit would be very helpful to people who like to perfect their queueing.
