RTS Map Command Recruits is an addon for the Recruits mod that gives you Total War-style map control over recruit armies: one map icon can represent a full group, with click-to-move, waypoints, formation control, combat commands, and strategic fire control.

Group-Based Map Commanding:

• Each recruit group appears as a single tactical icon on the world map.
• Split group handling: if members are far apart, they can appear as separate controllable sub-groups.
• Movement arrow/path rendering from current position through queued waypoints.
• Smart Group Visuals
• Uses each group’s configured image/icon (from group setup).
• Relation outline colors:

• Your groups: Green
• Allies: Blue
• Neutral: Gray
• Enemies: Red
• Icon size scales better with map zoom.

Multiplayer-Safe Order System:

• Server-authoritative orders and validations.
• Selection/order stability improvements for moving/splitting groups.
• Stuck orders/arrows auto-cleaned to prevent command-lock states.

How To Use (Map Controls):

Selection & Basic Orders

• Left Click group icon: select group
• C: clear selected group
• Right Click map: move selected group
• Shift + Right Click: queue waypoints

Attack & Fire Commands

• Ctrl + Right Click on enemy group icon: attack that group
• Ctrl + J + Right Click on map: strategic fire at that position
• Ctrl + K: hold/cancel strategic fire for selected group

Behavior / Stance (selected group)

• 1 = Passive
• 2 = Neutral
• 3 = Aggressive
• 4 = Hold Fire
• 5 = Fire At Will
• 6 = Wander movement mode

Formation Controls

• Ctrl + Tab: cycle formation
• Ctrl + Shift + Tab: cycle formation backward

Numpad direct formation binds:

• KP1 Circle
• KP2 H Circle
• KP3 Square
• KP4 H Square
• KP5 Line
• KP6 Triangle
• KP7 V Form
• KP8 March
• KP9 No Formation
  
  
  

Other UI Controls

• Tab / Shift+Tab: cycle selected groups
• U: toggle map overlay text

Visibility & Command Limits

• Groups must be in the correct world/dimension and visible per server-side checks.
• Commanding can be limited by configurable radius from player.
• Visibility/control behavior respects render-distance-style constraints for fairness.

Configurable Server Settings

In the server config:

• commandRadiusBlocks – max command distance from player to group anchor
• arrivalDistance – waypoint completion distance
• continueMarchWhenInCombat – continue marching vs stop-and-fight behavior
