Unit speed slower using "R"

**PseRamesses** · 03-02-2006, 15:45

I got used with vanilla to pause the game before ordering a unit to a new position by using the R-key, the unpaused and the unit would run to their new position on ordianry "run-speed". This is NOT the case anymore. Last night I did a test with two hoplite-units.

* Test one I double-clicked on the desired target position and the unit ran there in full speed.
* Test two, I paused, clicked on the same location and hit the "R-key" then unpaused. The unit ran at maximum 2/3 of its full speed.

I was baffled so I tried hasatiies, libyan spearmen etc and it´s the same with all. Any explanation for this loss of speed using the "R-key"?

Are your units... winded? Tired? Exhausted?

I find that sometimes units don't follow orders properly when the game is paused. Running is one example of this; you have to hit "R" just after you've resumed the game. It's annoying at first, but it becomes second nature after a while...

Anyway, it's not an EB-specific problem. I get the same thing in RTR.

That´s exactly what I´m doing and no my units are not tired. This has never happened before with vanilla and RTR so I´m hoping my install has gone bad since no one else has experienced this.

Well, I'm 100% certain it has happened to me in RTR on several occaisions. Just get used to hitting R just as you unpause the game.

I always hit R after unpausing. Can anyone recall having this problem in another mod or the vanilla game? If this has been along for so long I´m baffled that I didn´t noticed it before.

Yestarday my Ptolemaic general wouldn't run for about a minute, no matter how many times I double-clicked. And it showed that he was running on the unit card with the two triangles. He was "Fresh" too. I don't know what the problem is, but I haven't had the problem hardly at all... Although everything from the battle was a little odd, so maybe the causes are two different things, between our cases.
