The manual says it gives them a speed boost for a short period of time, iirc. I found where I read that. While you are in a battle, nouse over the abilities and tooltips pop up.

Kind of like the platoon firing drill. Maybe it has a greater effect on the enemy's morale? Now that I think of it. I'll give this a try with my grand battery of the convention, see what happens =)

Posts: 1387 Mar 6 10 5:08 PM Technical Moderator	I found where I read that. While you are in a battle, mouse over the abilities and tooltips pop up. This. ...than scrabbling around trying to find out what a particular button does, etc. With any new game you have to expect that there will be a learning curve at the beginning. Your reaction seems a bit extreme.

Posts: 2126 Mar 6 10 5:14 PM	No, my initial reaction to your half@ssed comment is bordering on the extreme....but I'll hold it in check... My point is that I would rather spend my time enjoying the game, not having to work out how to play it...it really isn't hard to put together a decent manual or list of what each feature does. It's not a biggy problem, but would add some polish to the end product.

I'd rather have a paper version too, but it's reasonably complete as an overview. It does lack some of the finer details, tbh.

Posts: 16 Mar 7 10 3:30 AM	Has no one else encountered the bug associated with this button? Whenever I press it, it instantly unbalances the games opinion of the battle(The red-blue bar) in my favour, with the consequence that the AI almost always charges immediately, regardless of whether they outnumber me 10:1 or vice versa.

Thats a interesting glitch......maybe it can be patched

It's not a biggy problem, but would add some polish to the end product. Ten years ago many strategy games included manuals with more than 100 pages. Every little detail, function and button was described. Today all you get is a short manual with instructions of how to install the game and get tech support. If you are lucky the 10 most important hotkeys are mentioned.
