I'm getting some kind of bug with hover tanks, or at least it looks like a bug to me. They'r not supposed to expend themselves in attacks, are they? Even when they win, and there should be some left, the tank/s and the unit disappear.

Also, I'm beginning to feel more and more belligerent, and may have to move against someone soon, just to work out my feelings of generalised frustration with modern life. You have been warned

!

A bug but not one I can actualy fix. You are probably attacking from a sea hex. For some reason, the game engine will allow land units to cross sea hex's if you setup thier movement to allow it (what I did with hover units and gunships) but if you try to attack from a sea hex the unit will be destroyed after the attack, regardless of the results. That's probably what's happening with you.

Just avoid attacking with hover units from a sea hex and you should be fine. My only alternative to fix this would be to prevent hover units from moving into sea hexes at all.... but that would really reduce thier utility as units... so I think it's better to let them move across water, but just let the players know not to attack from water hexes

Thanks for the update. As I like the idea of hovercraft units: Have you checked with Vic if this is something he is considering to add in this or the next version?
Best regards

That seems to cover it, alright. There's a city on an island in a lake on Elyasium. I don't seem to be able to paradrop on it, you've addressed the hovercraft issue. I'll have to see how an amphibious attack goes.

This is a communique from the DeCastillo Empire's Public Communications branch, warning that the fighting among the various combatants on Nineveh Primus has become too dangerous to interplanetary order and must cease. All combatants are to leave the planet forthwith, in preparation for the arrival of Galaxian Peacekeepers

led by the House of DeCastillo. You have been warned.

I don't seem to be able to build cargo ships. Usually if you can't build something because of a lack of resources, it doesn't show up in the build menu, but everything goes fine with cargo ships, except they don't show up in the HQ when they should. Other ships work fine, only cargo ships are a problem. Is there something I don't know, or have been told about and forgotten (a very common scenario, this one

), or is it a bug?

I'll check the scenerio just to be sure...but there shouldn't be anything special about Cargo Ships.

Ok, confirmed that everything is working ok with Cargoships. Remember in the AT Engine, ships will only appear in an HQ if the HQ is located in the same hex which is producing the ship, otherwise it appears in a unit that is already in it's production hex, or creates a new unit if no unit exists in that hex. Check the stacks in the hex which you are producing the cargo ships to make sure they aren't being put in one of the units located there....my guess is they are.

Turn 39 sent.
For technical reasons it took me longer then usual to play the turn and I needed two attempts. My apologies.
Can somebody please give me an exact breakdown on how victory points are calculated? I understand this is by population controlled?
Thanks and regards,
Nicolas

For cities it mirrors production capacity, resource hexes and starbases don't count toward VP's. So Ducal Capitals are worth 15 VP, Cities 4 VP, Towns 2 VP and villages 1 VP.

At least I think that's it if I remember right...just check a couple of the hexes you own to be sure...everything within the same size class is worth the same VP's.

@GrumpyMel: How many turns till the election?

Also: I needed to reopen the round once as I did not manage to finish the turn on the first try. My suggestion is that AT2 will get a save-game feature also for PBM play...

Election is January 2147. Current turn is June 2145. So about 18 turns by my reckoning.

Was that turn supposed to come to me? If so (or even if not), I haven't received it.

I sent turn 47 on to GrumpyMel on the 10th of February...
Additional comment: There seems to be an issue with the forum. I did not get any new message update and maybe the same holds true for the other players. Will send out some mails.
Best regards
