Multiplayer, and controlling your men?

[Michael Slaunwhite]

Hi.

I was playing an MP game earlier with some great people, not to mention excellent players, and I noticed that my men were behaving in a way that would make me think I really knew what I was doing.

Tell me something, while playing MP, does higher ranking members have the ability to take control of your men?

If the answer is yes, then I say THANK YOU for whomever took control because at least I left with a positive number this time.

Cheers...

The only way a higher ranking player can get control of your men is if you leave the game. Maybe you had them on un-TC'd orders and didn't realize it?

Mikesla,

If you are refering to the game where you had div command with me and I believe Mr. Hays, then I had command of the corp . I did move your men due to the fact your division command and I am corp so your men were still under my command as long as they are not TC'ed I can move them by courriers.

I think this is the game you are talking about.

Hi JMayer aka JJ Gordon.

I was wondering because during that one game I swear it looked like I knew what I was doing, kind of impressed myself for a few seconds until I realized that when I commanded my troops to do one thing, a couple of seconds later the orders changed. It was a little bewildering.

Hey, any help I can get the better, and thanks for taking command, I needed it.

Also, I really can't wrap my head around how you good people can micro manage like that. How do you do it without losing your minds?

I have never been great at micromanaging anything....a few tips would be great JMayer, I can really use them.

Cheers, and thanks!

So you can move un-TC'd units, commanded by another player via courier? I had no idea that was possible. IIRC; that's something we've never tried in testing.. Cool!

I try to test everything when I play so as to know as much as possible to help others. I will keep helping them till they tell me to stop. Great fun this game is to be sure.
