In my game you control all your units from the king unit, or will eventually... these units are refered to as armies.


However, I'm having issues.


I allow the user to take control of their units individually in fact some things simply require you to do this, in order to preform certain actions.

However I am having issues in terms of how to go about implementing an attack system.

The following is what I've come up with/considered:

A click system. You click on a mob, and it'll determine the range, etc... and if you're close enough it will attack. if not, it will move you towards the mob.
The only problem with this is if you are moving the king unit while clicking... this can be a heart ache.

bumping - this kind of attack happens when you click on area for a unit to go and it runs into a mob, it'll attack... this doesn't work simply because range attacks don't get their range benefit.

taking control of mob and clicking a hub icon - this doesn't work, bcause when moving clicking like I mentioned above gets hectic and buggy.

taking control of a mob and clicking an attack verb - the problem with this is simply that you will most likely get a wide variety of mobs to have to choose from, which on the fly in the middle of a battle can be real hectic and annoying.


Anymore suggestions?
