Endwar:Voice command- Overlord battle command interface

During combat in End War the Overlord command system allows a player to give vocal commands to units, in fact End War was designed to allow exactly that. Voice commands trigger a menu for example if you were to say ' unit 1' this command will bring up various options such as "move to'" and attack 'Hostile' which will bring options such as 1 (hostile 1) or an uplink position. These orders do not have to be stated sepertly the Overlord system easily comprehends entire sentences making a unit move begin to move to the otherside of the map for example easy.

Voice commands always follow a specific pattern first is the "who" "what" and "where or what" such as "unit 1 " (who)- "attack" (what) "Hostile 1" (where or what) unit one will then commence an attack against hostile 1 no matter where the unit is on the map as long as it is sighted. The voice command system can be used in conjunction with the Xbox 360 or PC mouse and allows for rapid orders too be given, it is advisable to keep background sound to minimum when using the voice system as it can be sensitive at times.
