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):

• Left Click group icon: select group
• C: clear selected group

• Ctrl + J + Right Click on map: strategic fire at that position

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
