Miller -> Quick HQ question (4/6/2018 3:07:00 PM)

HQ's with a command radius of 1 hex, do they have to be in the same hex as the other units or can they be in the adjacent hex and still give the benefit?

At some point - I forget when - MichaelM made a change so that the range of the effect equals the range shown on the unit's display. So radius 1 means it will have effect in surrounding hexes.

The old way, going all the way back to WITP (not WITP-AE) was to subtract 1 so that a radius of 1 meant influence in the same hex only. IIRC WITP-AE started out that way and as I said changed I'm-not-sure-when.

AE has always, from day one, had the HQ range counted from the hex.  So Corps HQs with a range of 1 have always had the range to be 1 hex (in all directions) from the currently occupied hex.

Thanks - I might have been thinking about a developer comment on the change being made between WITP and WITP-AE.

Possibly.

I clearly recall locating a BigJ62 post from when AE was released (or very shortly thereafter) confirming the range was from the hex occupied by the HQ. I never bothered finding a dev post on the issue before the release of AE.

witpqs,

Further to my last post.

This is the September 2009 thread wherein BigJ62 explained the HQ range.

As you can see from that thread the range starting with the adjacent hex (ie an HQ with a range of 1 = the six adjacent hexes to the hex currently occupied by the HQ) was in AE from day 1 and in classical WITP from at least the last major patch, which corresponds with the commencement of BigJ62's coding involvement with the game engine.

Thanks! [:)]

Adding: I always hated the 'range 1 = 0', 'range 5 = 4', and so on. Really loved it when they made that change.



Miller -> RE: Quick HQ question (4/7/2018 6:23:35 PM)

Thanks for the clarification.
