thoughts on stronghold? Now that there are placement options that include stronghold placement in many maps, I am beginning to see this map as a worse version of ambush with stronghold placement.
This is exactly what I did, but repeated maybe 2 times in 1 second? I often use alt + E to select cavalry and alt to select infantry. Maybe that was counted in this.
I made an upgraded version of your script which batch processes all replays in the replay folder, writing the output graphs to each replay folder. This is more automatic, faster and fail proof
snipe_analyser_pro.py
A single attack looks like this in the commands.txt:
cmd 8 {"type":"attack","entities":[10681],"target":8109,"queued":false,"pushFront":false,"allowCapture":false,"formation":"special/formations/null"}
The one unit with the entity ID 10681 get the command to attack unit 8109, not queued. AFAIK this can be done
either selecting the unit and right click on the enemy unit
or selecting this unit and other units with higher entity IDs and hold alt right click on the enemy unit
A group command looks like this:
cmd 6 {"type":"attack","entities":[452,6571,6572],"target":203,"queued":false,"pushFront":false,"allowCapture":false}
The units 452 6571 and 6572 get the command to attack the unit 203 at the same time probably with one control group and just right click.
this should look something like this:
cmd 1 {"type":"attack","entities":[9341,9342],"target":9345,"queued":true,"pushFront":false,"allowCapture":false,"formation":"special/formations/null"}
so with "queued":true. In these two plots it should always be not queued as this is the pattern I was looking for.
Please check the replay and think what you would do in the situation on the timestamp. Maybe you can replicate it.
@ffm2, can you explain the difference between single attack and group attack?
Here are 2 graphs from a replay that I saved:
Being Astra- (1550) myself, I am sure that I didn't click on units 8 times in one second. I was not that fast. My main attack moves were Ctrl+Q and occasionally selecting 25 archers as dedicated snipers. My snipe move was holding down shift then right click on enemy units, which makes the sniper team kill off selcted enemies one by one. I didn't use Alt-click as I don't know how.
