I hope they implemented the direct attack in a better way than in elvenaer, there it was a real disaster.
They always moved to the worst position you can imagine...
They hyped that game, but it really sucks. the graphics are better, thus PC is much slower.
Now they try to implement some features from there in FoE. But probably by less experienced engineers, in a game that was n't designed to have these features. So in the end it will all end up that time gained by using this feature gets screwed up by the battle field loading slower and the moves going slower. Probably teh only way to play in teh future will become autobattle.
