Tactical Control

Tactical Control: the 7-minute wargame. Simplified strategy with minimalist graphics and quick, intense games. Play short matches against random opponents. Fight tense battles of stealth, anticipation and surprise. Win with strategy, deception and cleverness, not with reflexes and clicking speed.

This patch adds a new control scheme to the game, essentially right-click to move and left-click to do everything else. Also, some matchmaking tuning for the game's current low player count and a few smaller fixes. The default scheme stays the same, you can switch to the new controls from the Options menu. The new control scheme makes more use of the right mouse button. Left-click to select your units and target enemy units. Left-clicking the currently selected unit issues a "cease-fire" order but lets the unit continue moving. Right-clicking issues a movement order, except if you right-click the selected unit. Then, it just stops (but keeps attacking, if it has a target in range). Since players aren't too numerous currently, matchmaking has been tuned to more quickly find distant players. A larger balance patch is in progress, should arrive soon(tm), when it's done(tm) Until then, good luck, have fun! The dev
