*VITAL* Commander=1; should be NON RECLAIMABLE

[Caydr]

Vital fix here. Any unit with the Commander tag should be non-reclaimable, as it was in OTA. This is a *major* exploit in comm-continues games. Please somebody code this in time for the next version.

It's a major advantage to NTai XE8.1 in cheat mode too

[jcnossen]

Why is it such an advantage?

[AF]

When an XE8.1 commander encounters a player commander when in cheat mode, the combination means that for the player they see an enemy commander decloak out of nowhere and start reclaiming them, they try to go back but they realize that this is no ordinary reclamation and that the process is going on 5x faster for NTai than it would for them, they run away seeing that their commander is on the brink of being totally reclaimed, and NTai chases them, and the player is chased until it reaches a turn and NTai takes the last few bits left.

Handicap greatly affects the rate of reclamation.

Er. Can we just make the reclaimable=0; tag work?

Lets try not to tie any more tags together than we absolutely need to.

What about comm ends games? when I kill someone I want the metal I deserve from killing their comm! :)

Any way to make it so you can't reclaim your own comm but you can reclaim other's?

[Leaderz0rz]

i think the tag means you can't reclaim an ACTIVE unit but can still reclaim the corpse..

[krogothe]

Why is it such an advantage?

Because for some strange stupid reason comms were made unnaceptably expensive, which means units get huge amounts of xp from just breathing next to the comm, because reclaiming your own comm gives you more metal than youre likely to get in an hour and also because comms cannot be repaired or ressurected. Oh, sorry im ranting again, the comm not getting any XP at all is a perfectly justified reason.


either way, nemos suggestion is good.

[altaric]

it's always good to reclaim a comm bomber ...
but exploits have to be fixed, does this applies only to commies ?
can't you make a building reclaim it and repair it at the same time ?

[smoth]

a few things would help:

Reclaimable =0; is a FEATURE TAG NOT a unit tag. It would be good as a unit tag also though.

EXP value as a unit tag, that way we can set the exprience gained via attack.

I completely agree. We should have the absolute most options available for modders, without forcing any perhaps undesired effect on them.

[Caydr]

If you're going to start making tags actually work, there's quite a few very useful OTA ones.... being able to have a unit build things but not repair things (builder=1; canrepair=0;) would be very useful to one of my projects.

[Argh]

I have to second Caydr's request that all of the Builder-related tags be made seperate logical states with different outcomes. For example, I would like to have units that can repair, but not reclaim nor assist factories.

Well, afaik the line between assist and repair is kinda fuzzy, isn't it?

[AF]

Pxtl, it just means not letting a unit repair units/buildings under construction.

An example of this was the OTA necro
