Better call to arms flags

[xahodo]

In DK2 you could place a call to arms flag which would cause all your creatures (except imps) to head over there. While it's a great tool, I sometimes found myself wishing I could configure it to only attract certain creatures or a specific amount of creatures.

So, why not add an option to allow for that to be selected? It would also be great if I could place multiple call to arms flags.

I think the simplest solution would be if you could use the mouse to drag out a radius when you place the flag. Then every creature that you control in that radius will go towards the flag.

That's good idea. Provide the flag into game , and I would try to implement it.

For now the flag could just be this simple placeholder model, until we get a better one

Perhaps a good flag would be with rips and holes, attached to a dead branch (corpar).

For the mechanoids it could be a steel rod with a plate of thin steel attached to it.

For the humans a crude flag could be used attached to a spear.

The dwarves could have a statue, holding a crude rag.

The elves could have a living branch, which has a flag and a secondary (smaller) flag somewhat higher.

I could make up more ideas for flags, if you so desire.

We do not have a dwarf faction, and the ones you call mechanoids are called Constructs. You are welcome to make some sketches if you want Take a look at the backstory section of the wiki.

What I can say ... my skills are too poor .... I cannot import blender files, nor the Ogre does seems to provide enough simple primitives to draw the "barrier' or 'selective circle' after the hypotetical flag is pointed.

Maybe Oln can help you. He has imported models from Blender into Ogre before. I have unfortunately not any knowledge about how to do it currently.
