Robot Formation Arrangement

[anon332]

Hi all! I decided to create this thread simply due to the fact that this idea had just come to mind. I just thought that one of the annoyances in EA1 was that sending large groups of robots into a certain area and then rearranging them in smaller portions, which I found to be quite time consuming and precise. So in turn, I thought of possibly including formations or smarter AI robots in EA2 and possibly improving on EA1 by adding to it, so they could come with preloaded formations. Or even have an in-game feature that allows you to create custom formations! Although I do not want to slow production of the game down, just a thought!

It's a bit different in Executive Assault 2 as most of the combat takes place in tight corridors so you would find it difficult to form up anything, also in this one they tend to take cover when under fire too which looks quite cool.
One formation however that is in the game is if you are the CEO and you press follow, 4 nearby robots will assume a square around you as an entourage

Oh alright! I do like that idea with the taking cover as it will add realism to the game, thank you for letting me know

I also want to add to the idea that some of the lower level bots could have like a sort of banter , for example 

When an A11 sees an enemy he would say: "Tango up top", or if in a friendly area guarding with other bots they could stay stuff like:" Hell mate I could use an oil bath", and when in small groups when they see a friendly die they may say , "Ah shit Jimmy's down , everybody regroup!". 

I think that this should add to the feel of the bots with giving them advanced AI so they could seem like they care about there allies to show a deeper meaning of their "humanity".( what else robotinity)

I also would like to know what would be the recommended specs to run EA2 since my laptop is just midranged.

Thanks.

mking2 A good idea is only these robots should be improved. They also would be smarter and so on. (powered by google translate)

They do have some conversation skills similar to the last game, but I do like the idea of them shouting formation commands such as "Find cover", "Proceed to target" etc.
