Balanced Annihilation V7.01

Priority targeting wouldnt have helped Dragon in that situation though.

If all AA targeted transports first then you could just send in a load of empty Seahooks with your bombers to tank the AA.

True, and figters do much less dmg to transports than to bombers.


Could anyone be kind enough to update http://modinfo.adune.nl/index.php?side=core&MOD=ba691 to new ver?

Is there a way to make AA target loaded transports first?

Even so, the dragonfly transport costs almost the same as a t2 bomber and has the same HP, so I'm not sure it's that degenerate a strategy. The seahook is a bit more expensive, although it does have a higher hp/cost ratio.

Regardless, the VTRANS targetting category doesn't include the dragonfly/seahook - it's only the t1 trans.

I'm not sure that would be a good idea, because afaik there is no visual indicator of t2 trans being loaded or not, so how could the AA know?

[JohannesH]

1) T1 fighters should probably have transports in their priority target list. See http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=20429

You do realize that that wouldnt have helped in that situation at all?

Fair enough, but perhaps the priority should still apply to the t1 trans. Would make combombing into AA slightly harder since sending a bunch of decoy transports wouldn't work quite as well.

Every form of AA should target bombers first, gunships second, transports third, since that's really the order of danger for your base.

[JohannesH]

no transports is first... or, loaded ones.

AA should prefer what it does bonus damage to. So fighters target bombers, flakkers target gunships.

Bombers are still a more immediate threat than transports since you may have ground defenses or units that can handle the airdropped units. Bombers could blow up your base and AA is the only thing that can stop them.

AA should prefer what it does bonus damage to. So fighters target bombers, flakkers target gunships.

This is a good point, and I assume you mean whatever it does the most bonus damage by percent? That's as good a way as any to determine what the unit is designed to counter, I think.

do geothermals need to cost so much E? as it is, you rarely see them in 1v1s even when the geovent is in a nearby, protected location

Its more interesting when theres a significant drawback too, its not like a giant windmill but more like a big adv solar.

[Gota]

In Supcom those geos are much more accessible in 1v1.
In SA i made them cost less and give less e proportionately.
They are still the most cost effective building but are accessible earlier.

is it just me, or do the playerlist and the ally resources from that (ingame) settings menu on the right not work properly? every time I try to close the playerslist, luaui crashes immedeately...

[HectorMeyer]

Why was the Minimap Events widget removed? I miss it.

edit: downloaded it from springfiles, but still..

Yeah I had that too. Deleting my lua config (I know its a pain to reconfigure) fixed it.

[manolo_]

doesnt a textfile saves the configures for each mod?

[very_bad_soldier]

Yes. I deleted \LuaUI\Config\BA.lua and widget_data.lua but I guess deleting BA.lua should be sufficient.
