Normally you can't issue orders during the real-time mode while the game is paused. Please add the ability to do this, as it makes those first few moments before combat easier to coordinate and prepare. Thanks!!!!!

I think making non-combat portion of the game turn-based would make things unnecessarily tedious. For instance, when walking from the map's edges to the opposite edges, sweeping the area for enemies. Or when converging on the center. Big Maps will make this worse.

I am not missing the point.
After you switch back to real-time you still can't issue orders for everyone at the same time.
1. For example, let's say I have two squads along the left border of the map. One on the top-left and one on the bottom-left.
2. I want them to walk from the left side of the map to the right side of the map at the same latitude or y coordinate as the one they are currently at.
3. I want them to start walking at the same time.
4. I want them to keep walking until they spot someone or reach the edge of the map.
You can't do this in turn-based mode unless you issue the same order every turn, for each merc, while going across the entire map. This is a major PITA.
Also, I don't see the advantages of turn-based mode in the example you provide. I can get my mercs in formation in real-time mode just as well as in turn-based mode. It's what happens _after_ they are in formation that counts.

There is nothing 'simple' about this request at all. That would require significant rewrite of huge sections of the code.
I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.
If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.Report message to a moderator
