Edit : Davinci - just to make sure I understand correctly
- Are you saying that you are playing with couriers on, but not using the courier screen.
- You click on a unit and order it to x location.
- The courier goes from you as army commander, but you want it to come from the unit commander.
OK, I think that this is where me and
Little Powell kept on going around and around with neither one of us in agreement.
If, I am playing the Open Play game, and have a Commanding Officer, along with two Corps Commanders, and say four Divisional Commanders, and sixteen Brigade Commanders.
Due to the fact that this is an Open Play \ Single Player game, anyone that is on my side, anyone that I click on - would be
me .
So, even if the army, my army, has a higher ranking Officer, that shouldn't matter since I can play as anyone of them, meaning that I can control
all of them.
The
AI has no control over any of my forces unless I chose to allow them access to move my units, which I don't allow them to.
So, if I click on a Brigade Commander - and use the courier to send a message to another Brigade Commander which happens to be stationed several miles back from the front line.
I want the courier to leave the position of whom-ever sent the message, just like it would happen in
real-life .
If the Commanding Officer who happens to be several miles away is sending the couriers - well that is sort of like they have
walkie-talkies , which is just not realistic.
The
courier must leave the position of the
one that is sending the message.
And, Yes - I understand that the message is signed by the Commanding Officer. So I don't care if the courier leaves the position of the sender, rides over to the Commanding Officer, and then the Commanding Officer sends another message to the Brigade Commander to move where I indicated him to.
Thanks,
