Saving pre-config army

[Crimson Castle]

Hello,

Is there a way to save a pre-set configarated army for Multiplayer?

Too much time is wasted assigning valor, armor points etc.. in the pre-battle stage.

I realize that some games have a set money order which would make it impossible for a pre-set config army to take part. But having said that - couldn't it still go - minus the last few remaining units - who would be rounded off?

Hi Crim,

We have been asking for this for a looooong time...

...maybe in RTW? I hope so.

Yes it would be nice. Please add this, C.A.

Yeah, I'm a little amazed some kind of crude program wasn't included in the MP side. Then you could save various config versions of your army. If they overshoot the money threshold then one to five units will be automatically taken out. If there is enough left-over points, then you can make up new units to add on.

Anyhow, its not a problem when you're playing on a $10,000f army. But when you're playing with a 99,999F army It takes forever to fill in the valor, armor, weapon points for all the units.

Also it would be nice to be able to save the deployment setup for your same army. So basically, if everyone had upgrades and deployments saved, you could go right from the "host" screen to battle without any wasted time.

But, there are many nice things that are never added/fixed. So again, we hope-- maybe in RTW?

You can save your deployment, but it wouldn't work since that specific deployment wouldn't be the same on everyone elses machine, so it would go out of sync or something. I remember someone posting about how they changed one of the normal deployments to something they wanted, and one of the devs said it was fine for SP, but wouldn't work in MP.
