Nifty aesthetic feature for the rock bottom of the wishlist pile

[Chieftess]

When a unit is active, selecting an auto-goto point with the mouse, or pressing "5" on the numpad, then pressing 1-4, 6-9 on the numpad would cause the unit(s) to face in that direction.

i.e., when you select (but still have the mouse button pressed) a tile to the north, the unit(s) will face to the north. Move it south, and they face south. Or, with the numpad, hold "5", then 8 for north, and they face north - 2 for south, and they face south.

The units are merely representative, as are all other graphics. It really shouldn't matter, and I see no reason why this would be implemented anyway.

 

[Vizurok]

Good, idea!
It makes nothing in gameplay but it looks well!

 

[warpstorm]

Because it would be easy to implement and could make for nice screen shots...

It would serve a better purpose if you could flank an enemy by turning to his side and thus have a attack bonus or something...other than that what warp said

 

[Dell19]

Would you be able to make a unit that had just moved face a direction?

Flanking is a very nice feature indeed
But the aesthetic feature Chieftess proposes is nifty too, especially if it can be done in the editor, so you can have an army face the direction of the enemy
