Re: SOP manager window - position resets

Well now hang on... I just returned to the game and noticed that the "default" position that it resets to does indeed change but only when the close button is used. The sop manager will re-open when any unit is selected in the position that the manager window was last closed. So...maybe it...

SOP manager window - position resets

Not sure if this applies to other pop out windows but when I use the SOP manager and say I move the window somewhere, so as not to obscure my view of the battlefield, when I then select a different unit and use the "Inspect selected unit" button the window's position resets to the previous...

Re: Interested in buying - but is MP dead?

It has a built in PBEM+ facility for people to match make and play online so no need to request matches on forums etc. which may be why you are seeing a lack of response though to be honest I would ignore a challenge from someone that doesn't own the game yet too! :lol: ;) The AI, with the scenario ...

Re: Resupply before departure?

I like the idea. I also would like to give orders, possibly limited to move orders and screen/hold and maybe even only one order, to units before they arrive as reinforcements. I had a scenario and the units did not arrive until 2 minutes into the command cycle with another 35 before they could rece...

Re: Should the game offer a "fast-paced mode"?

As I said in the title, I feel that the command cycles in the game are too long, especially when my scouts are charging at the enemy and killing themselves. I wish the game offered a "fast paced mode" option, it would be nice to reduce the command cycles for both sides to half of what it ...

Re: Map drived campaign mode

What you need to play is Armoured Brigade, which will be releasing it's second iteration some time in the near 2023 future.
I agree with Monsieur Darwin that this would not necessarily work too well with FCSS and would require far too much work to include as part of the base game, at least.

Re: Unpopular newbie opinion about the SOP

Do SOP change instantaneous ? If yes, it is faster to change the SOP instead of using a move order in order to command a unit to relocate under (artillery ?) fire. afaik, using SOP to relocate will happen faster than issuing an order yes. I think it removes/reduces the order delay aspect of the mov...

Re: Unpopular newbie opinion about the SOP

@Bagpipe there is a feature that "kinda does" what you want. Select a unit and set the SOP you want for that unit. Leaving the SOP editor open, right click on another unit on the map and select "Apply SOP to Unit as Default SOP" if you want to set the unit's Default SOP to those...

Re: Unpopular newbie opinion about the SOP

For me, one of the biggest SOP improvements I would like to see is a copy and paste action. // Instead of // In addition to the "assign to subordinates" or "assign to same type" functions (keep these, they do have a use at other times) I would like an "assign to..." fun...

Re: CMO v1.05 Update - Build 1307.10

I also got the "cannot be downloaded securely" error though my system is not archaic.
You just click on the three dots and select keep/download anyway etc and it will commence download.

[NO REPRO] Couple of crashes

I probably should not be playing this beta as I am very inexperienced with CMO but here we are. First crash gave me a blue screen code "Paging error in non-paging area", which may be a windows issue clearly though it is the first and only time I have experienced such a stop code and was wh...

Re: Which core game do you think the CS Legion should do next? - Pick two

Pacific is sorely needed, Cold War was my other choice.
Though to be honest, I am certain your fanbase would be pretty chuffed with anything you put out there.

Re: Will the FCSS add a multi-step command function that can be set once and executed in stages?

It's a little vague so I am not sure what exactly is the problem you are facing but if you learn to use the SOP system effectively as well as assigning order delays to each order to "time" the advance, I guess that may help some?

Re: Japanese Yen price - Being ripped off in Japan

I bought the game in £GBP and paypal applied the correct exchange rate which was actually different from the price listed in £GBP on Matrix' website.

Have you actually tried to buy it through paypal to see if it does convert properly?

Re: Oceans DLC looking great

Are there any additional game play features/mechanics with this DLC that will add some more strategic dept to the game? As the DLC announcement only mentioned Ocean generated planets, and I assuming no navies as that is not in the feature list, this DLC seems a bit feature light for a DLC. Or perha...
