Remember the whole orders as a first class entity debate?

(my search took me five seconds there's of course tons of other older threads revolving around this topic, if you would kindly link them I would be much obliged)

Anyways I'm just supper stoked that FAF is now the first game to ever implement them :

see top-to-mid :

.... yea ... ... lot of codingwork and how many PA devs are still there ... ?

i'm afraid this will take A LOT of time until this will be a thing in PA

I played Globulation 2 in 2007 and the first release was in 2004. And I assume it was not the first game with this feature.

not exactly the same thing what yo u do in that game (from what I gather) is place blueprints and the units (which aren't under your control) attempt to accomplish the task of their own accord.

So let me reformulate : it's the first time you can have a persistent order in an RTS that you can choose what units to assign to. : P

PS : hard to believe that that game and supcom came out 3 years apart damn the two are worlds apart! o O
