For me, it's best just to change the combat mode instead of making it a third mode. There's absolutely no need for the regular combat mode once you have the new combat mode because the only diffence between them is the auto-attacking or enemy (red) units. If there is any situation where you don't want to auto-attack enemy units, just change to passive mode. Trust me if it's added as a third mode, the regular combat mode will never be used (unless the player just wants to play tediously and inefficiently).

Can I get a response from the developers or their representives regarding this idea. Just curious to what they think.
