I would like to request an improvement to the response time of the units. I don’t know how difficult it would be to implement, but making the units just a bit more responsive is enough to have more micro in the game and for a sense of fluidity when commanding troops.
Edit: I don’t know if other people experience this. If not, it’s most likely input lag from my keyboard and mouse.
To illustrate how this affects gameplay:
I use control group to command the troops. In 1 I put the infantry, 2 ranged units, 3 cavalry and 4 siege. If I want to send my units to a certain place, then 1 + click, 2 + click and so on. However, if I do this process too quickly, it is not uncommon for a certain group to stand still and not respond to the command. And it is not a misclick.
You sent your units to a certain point, it is not uncommon for them to find something in front that needs to be dodged or retreated quickly, such as the cavalry that comes across a group with spearmen. I feel a certain latency in being able to retreat or dodge.
It sounds like you’re talking about a couple different things.
This game operates at a relatively slow tick rate. I think starcraft is 16/sec and here it is 8/sec.
So it will not feel as “responsive” or snappy as something like SC.
This sounds like you’re dropping inputs somehow.
It’s definitely not a miss click, because I can check that. But maybe it’s time to change my keyboard. Thanks for the answer.
