Auto-explore function?

[crazy_Baboon]

Hi,

I was wondering if the implementation of a auto-explore function is feasible and if there is any work going on this direction?

I found this:

but this thread is too long and is pretty much dead!

Would anyone but me be interested in this auto-explore feature?

 

 

Thanks!

Grab a woman and have her attack a rabbit.  Auto-explore.

You can even order her to attack a deer in Dizaka's case. 

I think you can select a cav, hold down shift and right click the path you want to explore on the minimap.

Scouting is part of any RTS. Why would someone want to automate this? It comes down to using shift key and paying attention to mini-map...

edit: At least it would be good to be able to disable this from game settings IMHO

edit2: Just realised the patch is quite old, I hope this idea is now gone

Because part of 0 A.D. is "to reduce repeatitive tasks" and good micro would scout better still than an automated function.

Definitely. After years it's one of those things that I never asked for again.Only call to the arms is missing.

To me, auto-explore is fine so long as it's better to scout yourself.
