Warzone 2100 Forums

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a game play feature, but it's a problem I've been seeing with player AI through many iterations. Feel free to move this topic if I've put it in the wrong place. All units, both my own and the enemy, have no compunction about shooting through and destroying walls to g...

Some of the new scavenger behavior is actually strategic: assembling a group prior to any serious sortie. You are right about scavenger stray fire as well, fisk0. My complaint is with the behavior of my own troops, and it appears in skirmish as well as campaign. Fiddling while calculating how to obe...

I've been comparing the new 2.x AI behavior to the now venerable 2006/2/16 WarZone and the campaign droids function much better under the old system. For starters combat units will react almost instantly to any approaching threat and fight vigorously, driving some distance toward the target guns bla...

My Alpha 1 strategy (leave the flamer base intact while rushing everything else) is proving impossible with 2.1 AI. My units, and even the scavs themselves (!) are automatically shooting down the walls, exposing the base to direct fire. In 2.0.10, units don't fire on walls unless ordered to. Then I ...

I'm seeing this problem with other weapons also, including the machine gun in Alpha 1 when firing on the shorter scavengers.

The issues go a bit beyond timing limits. My primary "combat speed", 0.5, is gone also. That was the minimum speed that avoided "turtle wheelies" where units turning downhill did not adjust properly. I confess I am rather spoiled with the 0.1, 3.0, and, occasionally, 10.0 speeds....

Alpha 11 This is a light mission if done right and fast. Have MB 1 board right away. Your LZ is in the SW corner. Reinforcements are fast at 1 minute. Send an AS unit, then the other MB. That will be all you need. Don't crowd the LZ with returning troops. The road east leads past two scavenger base...

Ugh... #1. Save before recycling units. I have a special save slot called (spin cycle) for preserving ranks. #2. Rebuild all recycled units during the current mission. If a mission has several parts (Alpha 3) then ranks are preserved between parts. #3. If you try to recycle more than 32 at a time th...

I always assign 2 MD (Mobile Repair) units to each commander (and every other combat team I deploy). It keeps them in the field for much longer while their AS (artillery) charges rain death on the enemy. Having a MB (tank) team nearby to cover if needed is also a good idea.

The nuisance: Ctrl-left click with groups is not automatic as is once was. If a unit was in the primary group then Ctrl-click removed it, otherwise it was added. Is this an oversight or was it deliberate? Trouble: Warzone cannot run for extended periods of time without crashing. StdErr gives the fol...

I never use bomb bays for VTOLS. My VAS (VTOL Assault) Bombers use the Bunker Buster to wipe out structures. The VAT (VTOL Anti-Tank) units use Rockets (Lancer->Tank Killer->Scourge). I can hit from further away, minimizing AA damage. The Panther body is ideal until you get NEXUS bodies.
