User blog:BehindTheEight/Game Idea : Platoon Depoly and Recall Buttons ( Repost )

There is one thing that WC lacks in the Game Interface that annoys me completely, it's not having a way to Recall Platoons back to the Players Base from within the Base.

As it stands now the Player must exit their Base to the World Map, locate each Platoon and then Send it home. This to me is the Real World equivalent of sending messengers out to each of the deployed Platoons to recall them.

Obviously in the Real World this can be done over the Radio. From Base the commander may simply call and order the Platoon home.

The In-Game version of a Radio Call would be simply the ability to Recall Platoons without leaving the Base itself.

 The Platoon Deploy/Recall Buttons: 

Following is a mocked up solution of what I wish Kixeye would implement.

It is simple and stays within existing design parameters :

From the Main Platoon Window :




 * Platoons that are still in base will show a blue  DEPLOY  Button when the cursor passes over it.
 * Deployed Platoons will show a Red  RECALL  Button when the cursor passes over it.

From the Single Platoon Window :




 * Deployed Platoons may also be  RECALLED  from within Single Platoon Window.
 * Platoons are already able to be  DEPLOYED  from within Single Platoon Window.

Result : 
 * A great help to those who have several Platoons deployed around the map and need to recall them in a hurry for any number of reasons.
 * Quicker, more fluid game play for players with slower computers by eliminating the slow process of exiting out to the World Map.
 * A more realistic Emulation of the equivalent Real World function.
