I know, there's already a Thread about Canard Preview...but I want to focus to this Aspect and Topic alone, so We wont quack about the other things. Can also be seen in Siege of Carthage Gameplay Footage.
This Map basically situated between The Campaign Map and The Battle Map...In Battlefield, we'll be able to Extra Zoom Out, basically giving a stylized Satellite View over R2TW's gigantic Battlemaps...Units will be represented by Icons in That Strategic Map.
I reckon that this will be the new feature to help Players controlling multiple Stacks across the vast Battlefield...The 2 Stack system employed in Shogun , containing 40 Units are already hard to manage...
I hope in this Map, we can Group Stacks, Units, and assign them into AI-Delegated Generals. Those AI Generals then can be ordered to do simple tasks, such as: Attack, Defend, Scout certain ateas in the Battlefield, using Prescribed Tactics, Stance, or Behavior.
Perhaps this System may be able to convey requests to Allied AI what the Player want, or giving The Player Information on what The BAI trying to do.
By The Way... this Forum is too quiet lately......And Gameplay System Threads are notoriously harder to keep afloat compared to Trivial Threads...
