Ask Troops "What is your status?"

[Valec SKylien]

So with all these nice new commands.  I think it would sure be nice to be able to ask "Troops what is your status?" and each type of troop archers, calvary, infantry and seargants can respond with "Lord, we are about to die!" or "We shall have victory soon SIRE!".  Because you get death messages, but I can't keep track of how many of men have died nor if they are beat up or not.

hmmm... not exactly necessary IMO. Besides, asking every one of your men how they are in the middle of combat is... pointless. They go down from one or two hits anyway.

I think that you should only be able to ask them through a town-like talk interface. Walk up to Marnid "Hey, how are you doing?", THUNK!

He always liked Borcha better.

Like all other current commands you don't have to be near anyone for them to respond and you magically know when someone dies.

Just have it where you ask and a response comes up "Archers 2 dead 3 wounded 2 good" then on the next line "Calvary: 5 dead" then the next line "Infantry 5 wounded 2 dead".

Basicly you'll then know how many troops are dead, alive and wounded.  Or it can just be a response "Sire, 5 are dead, 3 are wounded, 5 are good and 10 renforcements will arrive in 30 seconds"
