Unit Orders
Introducing the ability to directly order units! :D you can now hold left ctrl and go into "command mode" where you can select units, then (still holding ctrl) right click and order them to go somewhere/attack/interact with things!
For anyone who's heard me talk about tactics in the game, you know I've struggled with what level of control to give to people. ESPECIALLY because the size and scope of Warcube is still kind of murky... like what level of control is useful for when you only have 5 units? Or for when you have 100? Or when you're in a battle? Or when you're at a regular location? Those questions are usually what I think of the most. So what I've tentatively decided to do, is put in RTS styled controls, and then in a few more weeks (hopefully) I'll have put in more GENERAL style controls, like "everyone charge" or "everyone follow me". That sort of thing :) similar to Mount & Blade if anyone has played that. So let me know what feels good, or if you have any fun ideas for things to do with these controls! Like puzzles or challenges, or really anything that would be fun :)
I'll also be working to make the way you interact with things more clear too, like changing color when hovering over things you can interact with, or some way to highlight them. But I need to get some more content in first ;)
Also! Arena is under construction again, things are a bit broken xD
Also... sneak peek of what I'm also working on...

If you could, let me know what you FAVORITE part of the game is, feel free to be as general or specific as you want, I really just want to know what the MOST important part of the game is to YOU :) thanks for all the support, it means the world to me!
