u know this situation, u moved ur units fast and all got the place already, but now the situation changed and i dont need to move them fast... i want a key with wich i can move my units slow with the old orders.

yeah nice idea,but could you not just make one unit march quickly and the other just march normally?

Don't really understand what you are talking about.

If you talk about the game speed, there is already a slide bar.

If you talk about the individual unit's speed, there is already something called "marching" and "running".

And you can always just let fast units sit and watch.

Also the units in a group MARCH at the same speed, things are different if you order them to run though.

But I guess you must know all these. So I really have no idea what function you want.

I think he means that he wants a "Walk" command to counteract the "Run" command, which is NOT a toggle (apparently. I thought it was for a long time, but one of the threads in GD set me straight).

Walk would deffinitly be a more attractive solution than running when marching units in formation.... Especially for groupings with cavalry, its annoying when your units are getting tired out trying to run after the cav, why not just make the cav walk slow?

Oh, that.

Thanks for pointing it up.

It's a good idea.

Meanwhile there is no easy way to tell your running units to walk (as apposed to the ctrl+r to make walking units run). And it can be really annoying.

Good idea, but first I have to overcome my units' reluctance to run. No, I'm not joking http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif
