Attack of opportunity
« on: November 27, 2016, 09:03:29 AM »
This idea is inspired by D&D based CRPGs.

If a unit is engaged in melee and wants to move away, the opponent gets a free melee attack out-of-turn.
This does not apply to a second or third unit engaged in melee, only the initial ones.

That will make it more expensive and dangerous for ranged units to move away and make protecting and positioning them well a priority for a player. Especially when they are equipped with sniper and assault rifles.

Hi Chabbrick. I do like the idea. Overwatch and Attacks of opportunity are fairly high on the "nice to have list". So if development goes smoothly and we have time to spare  or we do fairly well on early access and can spend a few more months on development, we'll see how much we can do on this front.
