Enhancements to team play
« on: 4 February 2016, 02:54:27 »
I think it would be good if there were more features built in that would help with team play, something that could help organize strategy better.

Some ideas I had about this:

1. A pop-up menu to give commands

2. If a player would like to request that his teammates send troops to a location on the map, he makes the appropriate selection from the pop-up menu, and then clicks the location of the map. The area would "light up" in the mini-map for ten seconds. Perhaps even a flashing outline or shadow of a "soldier" symbol would appear indicating to other players "send all available units to this location"

3. If a player would like to request that a totem be built at a particular location, a player could use a procedure similar to the one outlined above. A flashing totem would appear in the spot requested.

What I outlined in #2 could be used for immediate danger, or simply to station some soldiers at a particular location. If it's an emergency situation, the mini-map would flash red, but for just placing soldiers into position to secure it, it would flash yellow.

4. A way to signal to other players that the enemy is approaching and is about to attack
