Inactive Units

[Kell Aset]

Whole idea was that soldiers could do something when not needed at time, and if we let them. When time comes player can recall them to their previous positions.

In which case they wouldn't be idle? They would be on guard duty? Perhaps they could restrict those animations for people on duty on battlements and on guard... Perhaps even a system where guards are assigned a role and they each spend X amount of time on and off guard? That would also add an element of strategy to attacking if its a surprise attack, strike during the changing of guards...

Or is that too hopeful of a game?

Perhaps there could be a "time off" mode that you could put units in, and they would recover stamina more quickly than normal while they sleep, go to the inn etc. Then when you raise the alarm they would report back to thei last positions.

Indeed Reminds me kind of like the system used in Evil Genius where minions work certain times as told to them by the time clock in the workstation then after a while clock out and recover their stats, also there were three alarm stages you could set and these would make characters either relax, be wary and arm themselves or shoot on sight... Evil Genius was a fun game

Can we get the thread title displayed in the last post column on the home page? At the moment we see who posted the last post, but not the name of the thread. Having the thread name there adds a bit more info when searching.

Thanks,
Gomez.
