Hi Carloi, simple FASCAM shields should work against low level FASCAMs, if you're fighting powerful FASCAMs, you need to get the set bonus from collecting all the FASCAM shields. Very few players are able to do this, those that do get a significant advantage in controlling Strongpoint quarries with FASCAMs. There's a specific strategy for powerful control, but will let players figure this out. Once you see it used, it will be obvious. Best wishes!
What most strategy games usually do for formations that require orientation is alt+hotkey followed by a right click in direction to face. So the line formation would form a parallel to the right clicked location whilst the v formation would have the point aimed at the clicked location. Circle and stacked formations wouldnt require a direction. It's best if a player can custom save their own formations to a hotkey though, would allow for quite interesting tactical experiments.
Couple of suggestions to make combat more optimal rather than just being guesswork:
1. Toggleable option to display attack range overlay for units. No more guessing whether that mortar is able to kill your paladin.
2. Ability to set custom/preset formations for units that are saved to a hotkey. Like Ctrl+O for circle formations, Ctrl+L for line formation and Ctrl+S to stack tightly.
3. Hover over enemy units during the battle phase to see unit lvl and type. Can be hard to tell a stinger from javelineer when zoomed out without the tooltip text in battle.
Thanks Carloi, excellent suggestions. I'll bring those back. Can you share more on the ideas for automatic formations? For example, how would you want the line oriented?
Hi Carloi, appreciate the feedback. The repair timing in the early game has short cycles, since battalions are relatively small. When you get into the heart of the game (around Tactical Operations Center level 5) you have a lot more battalions and they're each larger in size so there's less need to shuttle units around. I'll bring up the repair all option with the design team as well. Appreciate the feedback!
