I am looking for some more advanced info on a move command exclusive to HD, and that's attack move. I believe it was added in the forgotten empires expansion and might be in the base game on HD as well. I have to verify that.
I used to play age 3 online competitively for a few years. Attack move, as in any RTS, is such an important command if you are trying to rise above a farm simulator skill level. In age 2, patrol is king and basically serves in place of the attack move of other games. No one used patrol in age 3, it was all attack move and it worked very well.
What I'm trying to get out of this is to identify advantages and disadvantages over patrol. Situations that favor one or the other.
I would also like to find out the target time of attack move. In HD patrol targeting time is 2 seconds. Other than doing some tests and attempting to count, is there a way to see the actual amount of seconds it is supposed to be? Maybe a modder would know how to look at things like that.
I'm also trying to identify if it does have bugs, or is working properly. When I play I actually use both commands, but those actions so far have been pretty subconscious and I'm not recalling my experience. I would like to hear your thoughts, and for some of the pro's, are you aware this existed or what has your experience been with it?
