Perhaps just expand on the "Retaliatory Strike"(RS) idea already in place in game. It could take somewhere between .25 & .5 AP's per action and be usable just like a AoO. In the row of 3 example, A B C X Y Z A-C attack Y = X & Z get an AoO(RS) at 25%(arbitrary) damag
The Teleport Spell is still in game right? (been away a week?) so get your SoV and a crew(unlimited #'s as of last game I played), Teleport that bunch, return the SoV, rinse and repeat. At least that way you would have to Scout ahead to make sure you don't drop into a shit storm of enemy troops. P.S. Agreed. Very nice Portal Sushikawa. :)
[quote]"1. Streamlined UI -- It would be good if you didn't end up giving the same units the same orders turn after turn. Some memory would be really handy here, so at least the last command was remembered. In my opinion, the more complicated this is the better. I would gladly spend half an hour setting how a unit behaves under different situations, as opposed to selecting "Attack this guy with this weapon/spell" over and over agai

Thanks, I think I remember that one, Will have a look. P.S. Figured it out. Just need to move them into the Props folder so they List with the others. Editor is wicked cool. I sent you a PM just for first pass chuckles.
How do I get a new Tile design to show on a new Map? I can't find a LINK in the Map editor?
Just to chime in my Thanks as well. The quick update is great as well. Now to create 75,000 specialty items for "someones" Maps. :)

In .92 I have seen a lot of Lowers getting eaten by the newer generation spawned with Adventure Tech so given time it will probably sort itself out. As for the new recruits, I would assume you would have some new gear for them and as such they can become tougher easier than the first crews you meet/recruit early game. Though having some fodder around to Level with wo

[quote who="FrznMD" reply="120" id="2697917"]John_Hughes, There are more missions in SC2 then SC1, and also, you get updated mod tools/engine. SC2 you might think is incomplete, but the replay value has always been in Multiplayer/Custom Maps, and thats where you can use all of the races. I use to be a fan of COH

[quote who="Ephafn" reply="21" id="2697934"] If this was Starcraft, you could also build lots of little units and stop the assault. In this scenario, you can only hold back your commander or somehow gate him to the city to defend it as all other units are inferior. The problem is that often you won't have the teleport spell since you won't get much spell research done at fi
