RESOLVED: Drag n drop

I haven't played for a bit, but last time I did play I could just drag my units from a city, to wherever I wanted them. However back then, the militia stayed put. But I just played a game and every time I tried to drag my troops, it pulled the militia along with them. Having to manually go in and select the troops I want to move is a real pain, is there any way to make it so militia will stay put even if I drag my army?

We're you using Guerilla warfare by any chance?

I was using Blitzkrieg

AHA! the bug appears whenever militia speed is increased!

Well thats why

Well..... fuck... any idea on when said bug will be fixed?

Soon

Sounds great to me... will it be baced on spead of units. The fastest will be drug first un less its transports...

All units should be dragged except militia. If I wanted to move only specific units, I'd manually do so. The very fact that I'm dragging and dropping is because I want to move my entire army quickly. Thus all units that aren't militia should be dragged (like it use to be). Only exception should be like, gurellia warfare should allow militia to be dragged, since that's about the only time they're actually used for combat.

I think it would be great to have a setting of what units a player would like to drag / drop during a given game

While I like options, I personally think that'd be unnecessary. Typically if a player is using drag-n-drop, it's because they know what's in that city and just want to rapidly move it. If they have say, tanks, infantry, and bombers on a city and only wanna move the bombers, they'd simply click that city, click 'move units', select the bombers, and move them. And then once those units are seperate, they can drag-n-drop.

All that needs to be done is make it so militia aren't included unless you're using gurellia warfare. Without that strategy there's no reason to move militia for the most part, so when a player uses drag-n-drop, they don't want the militia included.

Also, if you think about it, how would they adjust what units are drag-n-dropped? Would they have to change their settings every time they wanted to take different units? Make it so they only drag infantry and tanks, well what if they wanted to throw in some bombers and unique units, would they then have to go and change their settings to include those units?

In the end, simply making it so militia aren't included would suffice, after all that's how it use to be and nobody cared. If it aint broke, don't fix it.... even if it is currently broke.... <.>

Fix it anyway.

This is still an issue with .99, at least on Blitzkreig. Not meaning to harass you about it, just a reminder in case you want it to be squashed it before 1.00

Ah, the Blitzkrieg. Forgot about this one. Will fix.

Fixed

Humm - now my militia don't drag and drop with the rest of my units in GW.

OK, either it drags with both GW and Blitzkrieg or it doesn't, what do you guys suggest?

I think the general consensus is to leave the militia in town... it takes less time to drag 2 stacks out of a city than it does to doubleclick the city, move the slider, click the button and then drop your troops and then drag the 2nd stack.

I agree completely. In GW you just have to drag twice from the town. Yes its annoying, but less so than having to go in the city menu, sliders, etc, just as Sific says.
