Perpetual Patrolling (Not Just Planes)
Sometimes I like to make it so that i have a unit (say a destroyer) moves around a certain area multiple times using the 'Add Target' function, like it's on patrol. You could use this, say, on the English Channel, so that if you're France or England and aren't allies with each other you can see the other's coastline without making them feel a bit overwhelmed by multiple boats just staring at them. Of course, there's the slow troop speed, but hey that's just a con to it.
You could set points for the route, a time limit, and that's it.

Well, I sometimes make it so ships go in a circle or back and forth near countries or in the ocean, for example out near the strait of gibraltar so i can see if ships are coming. I usually repeat the 'Add Target' order for these and give them a circuit to go around or two points to move from. My idea is that you can set a path or loop for them to go around for set amounts of time, so you don't have to keep adding targets for them to go to.Urano08 wrote:

We can alteady do that via add target as you pointed out so what more do we need? Not sure I understand what additional functionality you are asking for...

At the moment this involves clicking the 'add target button' about 50 times. Especially if you wat your units to patrol a small area.Kanaris wrote:

The suggestion is to give the ability to set two fixed points, between which a unit will travel back and forth for the duration of the pre set time. I like it.

It would be helpful. Gets annoying when you mess up one add target especially on a phone and it messes up the entire thing so you have to start over again. Well at least for me could just be OCD.

It doesn't have to be two points, it could be a loop too. Same idea though.Edepedable wrote:
