[solved] Deselecting units on the iPad does not work well

Post by masc »

Hi,

first off, Battle Academy is a great game, I love it. :D There is just one thing I really have big time trouble with and that is deselecting units.
If one by mistake double taps on ground where the unit can use "Suppress Area" the unit does that instead of being deselected. Same happens if one double taps on any target the unit can shoot or move to.
One way I would love to see this addressed would be if there where just an extra button to deselect units. For example on the lower right hand side atop the mini map and just as big as the Options-button. This could also be optional. Another option would be to use a double finger tap for deselecting units. But please do not use something like triple-finger-tap because that is awkward to handle.

I hope this will be addressed.

Best regards
Marc

Hey Masc, when you've got a unit selected, you'll see its icon in the lower left of the screen (iPad version). Click that icon once and voila, it's deselected. Enjoy!

No worries, you're welcome... Either it's in the tutorial or it's in one of the "Hints & Tips" that show up, can't remember which... I missed it first time too
