Random/Auto unit ditribution on demand (in "manual" games)
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2011 4:15 amProblem:
a) When playing with both upgrades on manual distribution game type there are sometimes situations, especially near choke points, where you want to max out 1-3 specific fields and you don't care where rest of your troops go. Sometimes you must spend some seconds looking all over your territory to find free spots to fill.
b) When you're maxed out and you use strategy of "slow steps" to have all your regions at 8s you must resupply every field manually even though you will get some leftovers anyway.
Possible solutions:
a) After pressing "End Turn" button it changes to "Random"/"Resupply"/etc instead of disappearing. After using it it places your troops of this turn as if it were "random" game type. You can place few units manually, and then press this button to place rest randomly. To avoid "miss-click" this button should be inactive (gray) for 1-2 seconds after pressing "End Turn" (or should appear with the delay). Some players already simulate this behaviour by simply waiting until the time is gone, but it slows down the gameplay and can be irritating.
b) When you click "End Turn" and game detects that you will have leftover troops this turn it automatically maxes out your fields without any delay.
