Have the Stay Close Squad Order Make The Squad Passive

As in they won’t fire unless fired upon, and maybe let them sprint to keep up with the squad leader.

yea i was kinda wanting something like a “Passive Until Fired Upon” order and a “Form Up” order that would make your squad mount their weapon on the closest object they can find to make them stay in place.

cause there’s soo many times where my guys are just running around like chickens with their heads cut off in front of windows or in & out of door then they just get lit up by the enemy’s…

the “Form Up” order would help soo much for defending a position, you could roll in a house and make your squad all take a window or piece of furniture as cover.

So in the future you will be able to set the rules of engagement for your squad:

• Aggressive — Taking out enemy soldiers is the highest priority. When enemies enter the line of sight of your squad, your soldiers will immediately open fire.
• Defensive — In battle, your soldiers will try to take cover first and then return fire. This is how they are currently set to behave, and this pattern of behaviour will be standard.
• Passive — Your soldiers will only engage if they are fired at first. This will be very helpful for those of you that prefer quiet flanking manoeuvres - your soldiers won’t give you away early.

For the long term, we’ll implement the ability to give individual commands to soldiers - for example, to place them at specific points around a defensive position.
