Removing "attack ally message"

[Magyar Khan]

when in a big multi with confusing colours and stressy moments u might accidentally click on teh ally unit and a window pops up with teh message similar like "do u want to attack your ally, yes no"

when ur unfortunate and busy u might click teh yes button and see... your allies have become enemies.

a gamespoiler?

What will be your solution? It's boring to click "no", but i think it'll be more boring to make another enemy... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

However, the command is a bit unusefull, why do you have to attack an ally?
It happens to me that two "nice" people in 2v2 started to attack their allies, just for fun.... I was really satisfied when I rout them http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

It can be a nuisance even when you press 'no', it could have been moving troops around in a very pressed situation, and that message might mess it all up.

I go for the removing part. How often other than FFA do you need to attack an ally?

[TheViking]

yup its a game spoiler

Yes remove it. We really dont need it in multiplayer.

We should have this option open, but not the way it works right now.

Sometimes it's worthwhile to attack one of your allies in order to clear the chaff. I have rarely attacked my allies but it has happened when my allies obviously don't care which side they're on, or don't care wheteher they are allied to u or not. In this case better to get em out of the game fast so that a good game can follow.

I think the option should be retained but not the way it is now. In the heat of an MP battle it's too easy to accidentally attack an ally under the current option.

So my vote is: yes, remove it and place it in the unit menu or a button http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

It shouldent be possible to attack your ally in the first place in mp, they should add a free for all option for peeps who want to attack each other

[barocca]

make it a button, similar to rout button, when you click attack ally button Then it asks you to select ally to attack,

it is too easy to accidently hit yes,
OR hit enter by mistake, which is an automatic yes...

make it a button, so that a deliberate action is required to attack ally...

Indeed there should be a "Free for All" game type, where all players are enemies. Could make for interesting battles.

Edit: come to think of it, we have only one game type http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

I think that a button works best.
This does not mean I condone attacking allies http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I see no probs. There's no point in deploying behind an ally if you can't slaughter them
