Here's a simple Idea-

Wouldn't it be nice if Generals had a separate Rally button, with it's own cool-down time?

Great idea! We will pass this along to the design team

Hey Serenity. Great idea. Would you be willing to post this to a new ranked list on the "general" tab? I'm trying to put a list together that would help forum posters push the devs for specific changes.

how about this, fix general's AI so that they don't run headlong into cannon towers the moment you place them on the battlefield. if they had their own rally, i would just use that to keep them as far away from them damn towers as possible.

also speaking of general behavior, why don't generals automatically target enemy generals on the battlefield. so many times I've had a general pop out of a castle, then i place mine right next to him, then instead of attack the general he runs right by and attacks a farm (or cannon tower) some distance away from the enemy. imo the primary target for generals should be other generals.

Good point. I've also had problems with generals charging multiple tanks, rather than running by the tanks to kill cannons and supply trucks, etc. The idea of generals riding their horses to charge 6-8 tanks. Hmm... AI not so well thought out, maybe?

 

[cooltim]

Yes good idea. You could make it by double clicking on the troop in menu to have individual rally. Then the cursor becomes a target (until you select a place) then you know that individual rally will be activated.

General Vs General should happen - I had the 'enemy general pops out to play, I launch mine..... and he shoots up a farm', pah.

 

[Gambrinus]

yeah, same thing just happened to me, I plopped him down right as the general was heading to smash my cannon, and my general gleefully ran past him to attack a farm while a cannon tower from the other side of the wall merrily disposed of him in 2 or 3 shots.

 

[Gambrinus]

also, what's the point of a general doing 6x damage vs generals if they don't attack each other?

 

[serenity4jwr]

Sure,that sounds fine.

 

[Aurelius...]

General vs. general sounds good. Unless, of course, you are attacking lvl 30 generals with lvl 1. In that case, I'd prefer to target supply carts or cannons… (Wait, attacking supply carts or cannons would be better in every case…)
