combat

[alexti]

What I would like to see in combat system is ability to have different scripts for different situation. I find Dom2 system flexible enough to achieve desired behaviour in particular battle. The problems start when you're about to storm enemy castle. Typically, you expect to be attacked by Ghost raiders, then by something like wrathful-skying sortee and finally you'll be storming the castle. Obviously, the battle plan in all 3 encounters is very different. Unfortunately, the one and only script will be applied. This makes the planning really nightmarish as you need to make sure that despite using the same plan you get different behaviour in different battles. This doesn't seem very logical. Army should be easily figure out whether it is storming the castle or dealing with sortee and apply corresponding battle plan.
