I think that shall be like it is. If u attack with 100 Roaches and only one is killed by a Laserturret all would explode with no effect. That would be bad -.-also, the roaches dont do enough damage to kill nearby roaches, try using .nocost and build 300 of them, bring them toghether, and blow the one in the middle (preferably on a very large map) they go flying everywhere!
lol?and the aphibious transport (tier2) can pick up itself.
I think of it like this... Blow up one roach right beside another facing enemy front lines and you get an unstoppable nuclear progectile that dies from fall damage on contact. Repeat with several projectile roaches for evilness.Optimus Prime wrote:I think that shall be like it is.

Good ideas/points/whatever. I'll see what I can do for the future.Pxtl wrote:The name escapes me, but AA has one tank with rapidfire lasers that I'm very fond of. In Spring, those lasers are used for anti-air combat with wicked effectiveness.
I'm starting to think that the best approach might be to crank up the armor of aircraft to obscene levels, but to make all SAM weapons do correspondingly excessive damage. This would mean that normal lasers would be somewhat innefective vs. aircraft but simple AA weapons would do the job. The only drawback is that it is nice that a plane can be harmed when it is doing patently stupid things, and you'd lose that effect. If your Krow gets hit by Bertha fire then you're doing something very, very wrong with it, and deserve what you get.
The fact is that AA uses a lot more laser weaponry than normal XTA, and now that laser weaponry handles differently it really changes the gameplay. Perhaps switching a large number of weapons over to Gauss or a similar projectile would be appropriate? Maybe switch the rapid-laser-tank over to a quick-moving EMG?
Why not just make it so that lasers don't do a lot of damage vs aircraft?Pxtl wrote:The name escapes me, but AA has one tank with rapidfire lasers that I'm very fond of. In Spring, those lasers are used for anti-air combat with wicked effectiveness.

Because unit specific damage makes the game even more confusing. Unit specific damage can only be discovered expirementally and often can be way too hard to find without reading through the unit docs. Unit-specific damages are generally very obscure.Guessmyname wrote:Why not just make it so that lasers don't do a lot of damage vs aircraft?Pxtl wrote:snipped
I agree. Thus, if you find ennemy landed plane, you want to kill them easly..if you made them specifically resistant to ground attack, it will be weird.Pxtl wrote:Because unit specific damage makes the game even more confusing.

i have the same shit hereI just got that crash again, with .21
armshlt_dead.3do -> no such file (seems i forgot the _dead lasttime)
Happened exactly when an an l4 factory was destroyed
. Game crashes with that message. Would be very nice if u can make a new version, with this bug fixed - it really makes AA unplayable .Glad to hear it! I was worried I was going to have to do what poor Ground_Zero may he burn in hell has had to do for his mod.Pnakotus wrote:Caydr, the texture problem has not recurred.
