what I want is for a Krow to be able to take down 4-5 hawks on its own before dieing (these are attacking it, not flying past quickly)

Or you could just build 4-5 hawks to defend it while it takes out ground troops en route to your base. Like normal sensible people.

+1,
In addition units with roam should actively move within a max radius of the guarded unit to attack anything before it comes into range of the guarded unit. (so if you only have one unit guarding at the back it will change position to the front if the attacker is coming from that direction).

The Krow does not need anti air weapons, its role is in mobile ground/base assault. It is pretty effective at both - the trick is to not plunge them into the heaviest aa - and certainly not in single numbers. It might be slow but a bit of micro will vastly improve its success in attacking a base. (e...

Right, i'm offski to flash rush Australia!

On the subject of the lyche: back in the day before aa existed, and the lyche was just a stand alone 3rd party unit. It had a pretty long range bomb (about 1.5-2.0x its current range) and could reach into bases quite nicely - without sustaining too much damage from aa (it still gets massacred by fig...

I know this is a bit off topic, but what tag is used to determine which type of weapon another weapon targets?
I've only seen a tag like isTargetable = 1, and assumed the rest was hard coded to work only for nukes? I hope I'm wrong there.

Seem to be quite a few of us here.

-hehe just noticed the post date on these

+1 So We can relive the glory days of backstabbing allies in the back just as you cripple the other teams on ffas with temp alliances (one man left standing) on moon quartet. :D Also, did anyone here ever play a mod for half-life called The Ship? Everyone had a randomly selected target to assassinat...

The best place to attack a base is at its corners where it meets the edge of the map - assuming its near the edge. One method of breaking through a solid wall of artillery flak pitbulls and dts is to first of jam a huge area outside their base so you cant be targeted. This also prevents them moving ...

While I don't see a problem with the stats for blade wings, their behaviour is a bit wierd compared to other gunships. They tend to ignore ground units unless told explicitly to fire at them, is it just me or has anyone else noticed this? If you want an example tell them to fight in an area with ene...

Lol, how is bringing normal water to the duel cheating?

I never stated any rules other than that each person bring a cup of water which they swap. Its a battle of wits where anything goes...

No, just something to activate a falling animation so you can activate a parachute or an anti-gravity device.

The fall damage is switched off via the code.

I'll give you that: The knight drinks from the 5th well first knowing the dragon will bring water from the 6th since the knight can't reach the 7th well to cure himself. The effects of the 5th well are then cured at the duel. The knight brings ordinary water to the duel expecting the dragon to try t...

No, imagine that they are 2 reactive chemicals which both react with someone in a harmful way, but react with each other harmlessly to produce something which doesn't react at all. That asides - it's just a riddle, the rules don't have to make sense in real life, just so long as you stick to them to...

Yeah, but despite it being a cure (for the water of a lower well) it's still got it's poison properties so shouldn't the knight die anyway?

Nope

The knight drank water from a lower well before the duel.

Why does the dragon die though?

Best Album: I can't make up my mind between Lacuna coil - Karmacode and Melechesh - Emissaries.

Best Game - I haven't bought anything new in yonks, pc is too old :/

Best Film - The prestige - excellent story and acting all round

Heres a better one: There is an island on which a dragon and a knight co-exist, there also exist 7 wells at different heights on the mountain at the centre of island. The water in each of these wells is poisonous, but water from a higher well is a cure for water drunk from a lower one. The 7th well ...

Some work in progress: http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/1678/screen014uy1.th.jpg It's code rather than script and it has some bugs to iron out, like that peewee thats about to go flying in the top left... The transported units could also activate some cob script whilst falling which is the next st...

f you're talking about unit class (air, sea, land, building, hover, othercrap) then it is a subcatagory of class restricting... I was talking about both - currently you can disable a particular unit in the lobby but i haven't seen any options to have a numerical limit on each one. Categories could ...

While we're on the subject i'd like to see unit specific limits configurable in the lobby. So we can have for example a max of 20 aircraft to prevent the game slowing down too much and crashing.
