Ability to select multiple units and change attack priority

[abstract fiber]

This is a strategy game, after all. It'd be cool to see a mechanic where we get to select some units to attack either the closest, middle, farthest enemy or the statue.

For example on selecting units!!
Instead of making all of your swordwrath and archidons attack and the rest of the units stay back, i'l just select 10 archidons and 15 swordwrath to attack while the rest stay in the base or guard the tower. It's kind of a hassle to manually select each and every one of the units to attack.

And also on attack priority, which might be an okay addition methinks. Making some of your units destroy the statue while the others attack the enemy units instead on zoning into a singular target. This gets both sides to think more strategically on being offensive and defensive, as well as managing resources and population more efficiently.

sw2 be like
also yes, might be a bit difficult to implement but yes

This type of controls worked for several reasons in SE, which sw3 doesn't have

You also added one of the reasons (a major reason too) not to add it, as a reason to add it

[abstract fiber]

What reason is the reason to not add it?

[midnight flicker]

Targeting the statue.

There's also several more reasons

Early game eco, area denial, accessibility to stuff, the way units are designed

In SE, everyone had everything

In sw3, they only have what they pick and put in their deck

(this is also the reason why poison is cracked in sw3 but was fine (I think) in SE)

[grave rock]

No.

But u know what needs to be added is easier management of units while UC. When I UC a unit and tried to select command of another unit, the far left and right side just refused to register clicks

It helps if ur a hard UC/micro player

(Def not me)

Eco is unironically a big part of why the controls worked in SE but won't work in sw3

[grave rock]

No one wants to know how much micro I was doing in general spam

[midnight flicker]

In SE, since the eco was much slower, not only could you not build up a full army fast, you also had to focus more on getting DPS/early game units, which, naturally, will have a problem with trying to hard-rush to the enemy DPS units of their base

But in sw3, you can spam every unit (not even giants are safe from being spammed)

This will naturally make it easier to hard-rush the enemy base or their backline units because not only will you have a lot of DPS, you'll also have the tanking power to protect that DPS

The CA/CD in SE was also an upgrade, which everyone had and could research at any time they wanted to

But in sw3, it requires garrisoning units, which is a disadvantage, and the upgrade is something that not everyone will have

SE also had more options for area denial

While in sw3, there's not as much area denial options, and the ones that we have usually aren't worth bringing unless you commit to them
