Autosplit option

It came up that @SanguineSeal278 thought Autosplit was an interesting idea.

@Psychcaptain

I created this topic because it was being discussed by @SanguineSeal278. Maybe @RadiatingBlade can move his remarks to this thread instead.

Personal, I don’t think just because some people disagree with him, that the topic should be shut down.

stop the cyber bullying man xD
he did not mean auto-split is an interesting idea
this is how the discussion went down and you already know it. but im gonna show it to others so you might stop bullying someone who doesnt agree with you

@ProkmanI

But I always have the mental or strategic intention (the knowledge if you prefer - and it seems that I lack the mental capacity to extensively multitask), not to have any idle TC time

@TriRem

And I have the mental strategic intention of splitting my crossbows to dodge mangonel hits, but I lack the mental capacity to multitask. But it doesn’t mean a auto split button should be added.

This is a real-time strategy game. Having the intention of doing something is not all, part of the point of the game is being able to execute your strategy and tasks in a timely manner.

@Juggernaut8704

How will such an auto split button work? You mean units will no longer listen to player and disperse? At least give some sensible example. That example of auto split makes no sense

@SanguineSeal278

It does make sense. Pick 10 crossbows, send them across the map and activate “Auto Split”. If they meet a mangonel on the way they dodge the incoming shot by splitting. As split is already a formation in the game, the Auto-Split would remove just one clic

as you can see prokmanl said what triRem mentioned has no real example. so @SanguineSeal278 just gave an example of altho the idea being poor and bad for the game, it can work
and this is his original comment about the AQ and how he is against it. which i think thats why it triggered you when he compared auto queue with auto splitting and you started calling him out

@SanguineSeal278

To me this just sounds like a boring game. Using hit & run with your archers for 30 minutes every game sounds fun for the first few games, not for the next 1000. The reason a combat system like that is working for so long is because it is simply not the main focus of the game. The biggest challenge is spending all your resources in a meaningful way. Take away this challenge, which auto spending resources does help incredible a lot with, and the main focus of the game will shift more towards the military side and as I already mentioned: It just sounds boring.
