Unit halting and resuming march

Post by Amish John »

Sometimes I hate to ask these questions because I'm always afraid the answer was right there on either the stock control panel or one of the modded ones and I didn't spot it. Anyway... I think it would be pretty useful to be able to halt a unit on it's way to it's destination and then hit a "resume march" button so you don't have to reselect the destination, facing direction, and formation. Anyone else think this would be handy or is it just my warped outlook? Wanting this feature probably comes from all my years re-enacting and hearing "Battalion, halt!" and "Battalion, forward march!" repeated over and over during the same march.

I have thought about this before as well that it would be a good feature. Or at least give regiments the ability to go from walk to run then back to run without stopping.

However, getting them to continue to their destination after stopping might be tricky to code. Stop is a very powerful command. I'll see about getting it requested.
