Not all units are all terrain. Some units are effected by terrain, because they don't "Stick" to it like the vanguards do. Therefore they slow down.wizard8873 wrote:i believe so. i will get a quick game up when i get home and repost the replay to just show it.Egarwaen wrote:Do they climb walls faster than Spiders/Recluses or something?
how is it then that units take a long time to climb up a hill? i understand that its still x but there is also a y. is it because the cliff is just straight up and shorter than a slope? sorry if its a stupid question but its just got me wondering.Drone_Fragger wrote:Its because all terrain units can't be made to climb at a differant speed on cliffs or anything. Technically the speed is horizontal speed, So an AT unit going up a cliff Still tries to move X units horzontally, Even thouh its moving Y units upwards as well.

Just tested a thing, can anyone tell me the purpose of Aircons?
What can they do that normal cons can't? Aircons build incedbly slow, to slow to take advantge of their speed, so it's not expanding. Their fragile, exsensive and overall sucky. Build on hard to reach places? Transport normal cons if you want it done.
They are only good for reclaiming...
boost to aircons?

Air cons are the air constructor. They are faster at moving, Don't have to opren and close like normal cons and are good for reclaiming.Kixxe wrote:Just tested a thing, can anyone tell me the purpose of Aircons?

No. No boost. Flying adds +100% to the usefulness factror. Just build 3 or 4.
Air cons are fast but build slow. This has always been that way.
And non opeing and closing animations makes them better for reclaiming then a con k-bot (the opening and closing animation of the con k-bot in XTA is very annoying. in AA this is speeded up, making it more usefull when guarding a k-lab)

Note that this is the second AA thread. The old one was locked, becouse it was longer then 100 pages and this one was created to continue.cyclerboy wrote:this has got to be the longest topic out there
But this is the first time Caydr didn't post for ... 4+ pages?
actually, Noize has the most posts since then

It has no data in sidedata.tdf, so nobody can build it.
The Valkyrie is a unit of Caydrs up and coming GEM mod, and is an easter-egg. You can only get it in the game by cheating it in, its an overpowered air-fighter with lasers.
