Stealth and cloak, press shift to see the decloak radius.

yep, but they will come out of it if they are bumped into or if they are reclaiming/buidling.

And have a BIG decloak area to balance them out.

I think turrets can see cloaked stuff.

not possible, aside from a cloaked unit's normal cloak radius.

Fanger · Post by **Fanger** » 01 May 2006, 22:59

cloaked units will decloak, if they do one of several things, any attempts to build/reclaim, any attempt to attack, a general lack of energy will cause them to reappear even if the energy loss is only for a short time they wills till be seen and have such little health thatmost stuff kills them in one shot. They have a decloak radius of 190 and any unit that moves into that radius will decloak the spider, this radius forms a cylinder that goes upward so any air unit overflying the spider will decloak it...

Any way to reduce the lag on saturation artillery? I built 5 of them and although the enemy base got completely owned in the ass, it wasnt as pretty with 5fps.

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 01 May 2006, 23:26

video lag or net lag? I am not sure which you are talking about. I use artillery a lot care to expand that thought?

Also, got any artillery strats to share?

Yes, i had a game on CASTLES today, and to the end of the game the sky was filled with sat .arty shells, yet i had my happy 50 frames as always.

The fireworks on the other base were a blazing blast. These scripted explosions are sheer awesomeness.

This is a replay from last night.

Things the other guy did wrong:
1: Tried to con spam
2: built too many energy facilities
3: teched too fast.
4: got distracted by my diversionary forces in the south.

Feel free to post any instructional replays. Also feel free to discuss this one.

It was graphics lag, we were in the same FFA game, remember? I killed the 3 of you :D
I think the explosions look really nice, but maybe its just my FX5600 screwing me over!

Its not really instructional though, its sheep to the slaughter ^_^
And i made glaring mistakes like dying to air repeatedly when attacking and letting a flame bot thru

Fanger · Post by **Fanger** » 02 May 2006, 01:45

So for those of you wondering about the NI side... I have taken the time to start working on some preliminary units..
