What does that mean?
The implementation of drag-able building placement would be as followed.
- You select a house building, you drag holding the mouse button down then you get another house foundation as you drag it out on the grid allowing you to place down as many houses foundations as you can afford with unaffordable being red automatically.
Additionally.
You drag out your house and you’ve got 8 by 8 houses that your about to confirm, but you want to change the placement style. You would then select a key on your keyboard or mouse that changes the placement from preset placements.
-
Preset 1. 1 title gap between each house foundation.
-
Preset 2. 2 title gap between each house foundation.
-
Preset 3. Two groups of house foundations.
-
Preset 4. Two lines of house foundations.
Let’s apply this to castles, towers, barracks, farms, etc.
-
A row of towers using preset 4.
-
A group of evenly spaced barracks preventing units from getting stuck on buildings haphazardly placed using preset 2.
-
A group of farms with a mill in the center using preset 3.
-
A group of castles cluster near each other using preset 1.
This means that players don’t need to click as much when placing buildings and can drag out what they want quickly and fast, additionally i would add something similar for walls to include gates as part of their placement.
