This is incredibly pointless. Just practice the slider, I can use it fine.
Mess with the Bill, you get the scorn!
Why not add a feature to the delay march timer where we can type in arrival times instead of using the slider. I find that it never works out when trying to get two separate units to arrive at one point at exactly the same time with the slider. The option to type instead of using the slider is in the market when posting trades so I'm sure it can be added here as well.

A system similar to the one used for the resources in trades would make a great substitute for the current system, where both a slider and a manual input are present.
Bill, it's not pointless imo. My index finger is perfectly capable of holding down the mouse button while my hand moves the mouse left and right nor do I have Parkinson's or the DT's so no practice is needed here. When I use the slider the slightest move left or right the time jumps 2-3 minutes.
I find it very easy to use and to co-ordinate with multiple units. I really don't see what needs to be fixed.
Great idea, actually. Not too hard to implement, anyway.
P.S. ItchyBrowneye, don't get put off by Bill. He's a great guy when you really know him. He just has some kind of general dislike of new guys, but if you pass that stage, he's a nice guy.
No, some people passed through. He is right though. I still don't like the idea, even if a vet came up with it.Pablo22510 wrote:

I agree it's a little annoying that you can't set delays to the exact minute - however, I exclusively use the multi-select option which is WAAAYYYY easier (it sets delays automatically to the exact time you need!), so this probably wouldn't affect me very much.ItchyBrowneye wrote:

Just use multi-selection.
Thanks for the input everyone. I like using the multi-select as well salbalkus but there are times where I've found that it just isn't practical in some situations because unintended troops get pulled into it if you're trying to cover a large area. I still think that a way to manually enter arrival times would enhance the current system.
