Default Re: wish for a new command: hold

Because if troops were perfectly controllable like that Harold might have won at Hastings?

They are asking for a Hold command, not asking for the soldiers to hold beyond Morale levels.

If Illwinter insist on having some randomsness, they could even make a check for the units, that gives a slight chance that the units decide to take action into their own hands and charge the enemy. Maybe have units with high attck vs. defense levels be more aggressive i.e. harder to keep on hold orders.

I think a hold order would be a vey good addition. I would also like to see reactive orders, but they may be harder to implement.

What about the following orders:
Counterattack Cavalry
Counterattack Fliers
Counterattack Commander

I would also like to see a recall units order for a commander. This would make all his remaining units come to him and go to Guard commander.

Dom2 is a great game, and could be even greater with more tactical possibilities. I like that the units don't always do what I want them to, but I would like the possibility to make a more detailed battle plan.
