Dear Ashes of the Singularity
Love the game, have moved the difficulty tiers up and am currently comfortable playing against challenging AI. (about 7 or 8 games all 1v1s) my concern within game atm is with how formations function when entering combat and specifically with besieging your opponents base. I like building siege dreadnoughts supported with Zeus's and archers, when group they look amazing, but when entering combat, or attacking a building the formation will stay around the dreadnought and not engage, then its difficult to break up the formation, and select units individually and move them in closer, while keeping the dreadnought at range. big pain when you get to or three of these going and your trying to move in and wreck some stuff.
formations are awesome, and when there is a battle between two formations how they operate is great if i'm using an area control dreadnought, but when with a siege one how they function becomes very limiting to how i can use them. because what i want is for the Zeus's and archers to move up and engage at a close range with artillery working from behind in support when on an attack order and not stay huddled up forcing my siege dreadnought into close quarters with an opposing formation. I can just micro them in two different formations, its just not as satisfying or easy when trying to mass select from zoomed out.
love the game, all the best
