Help

attacks are processed in the order they are set. if you set a ship to move through a space already occupied, it's not going to go around on it's own.

I understand that. But when I set orders for a group of ships, starting from front to back, the ones in back still don't move, even though they are going to separate squares.

I haven't yet had that problem.  I'd do a test section as a control group and make sure you are absolutely setting them in the correct order.  Also make sure that none of your transports are going faster or slower than one another.  That will probably affect the movement.

the speed issue will probably fix it. or you could stagger the ships so they aren't playing follow-the-leader. you know, to kinda fix it yourself.

I know I can get around it, I'm saying it would be easier if it weren't a problem to begin with. I would think that if they weren't moving to the same final position, there shouldn't be a collision problem.

Two units can never occupy the same space.  So, if a unit is trying to attack and there's another unit in the sector its moving to, it will either fight (if it's an enemy) or stop (if it belongs to you or an ally).

Really, if a naval captain should be smart enough to steer around the ship, then you should be smart enough to set them in the correct order.

I have, but thanks for the insult.

Just a lighthearted jab!

If the error happens again and you're setting them in the correct order, please send me a note with the unit IDs and I can review the logs to see what's going wrong.

People are so sensitive.
