Moving units laterally along a wall towards a threatened section?

[Grautvornix]

When a wall is being attacked, the units positioned on it would defend it of course. They will be eventually killed by the attacker and replacing them feels a bit fiddly (to me at last).

Would it be possible to move units laterally along a wall towards the actual attack replacing fallen units? (this could happen from segment to segment, we could e.g. even replenish from the barracks to auto-replace a fallen defender using some auto-queue mechanism).

Not sure it would work as between wall segments there are turrets that have a different garrisoning scheme. Would "teleporting from wall segment to segment be a solution (using the rally point mechanism) ?

Such a feature might strenghten defense and actual use of walls, but not in an unfair fashion- siege engines would still be much more powerful and eventually break the walling. This would be more a slightly better defense against infantry/cavalry troops attacking.

 

A side note: the same pathfinding mechanism might be useful some time later when it comes to discussing (short) bridges again

I just saw your similar post...

My problem with your proposal is that it shouts 'I minimize micro-management!' but in my game style it would lead to more micro-management bc units would not more be where I garrisoned them and sometimes I need all those 5 units at one place and then I have a problem.
