Ok, I think that it is a good trade off. In the end, performing or not the improvement of the command turret is the choice of the player.

I think that you neglect other things when speaking about «survivability»: 1- in your example, if a unit (or group of unit) is able to destroy two commanders MK1 it still can destroy 1 MK4. However, with two commanders, you can still find a strategy to save one on the two (cover one with the other, ...

I understand, But consider the price and body points of the gauss canon, the most powerful weapon: HP 700; Cost 400 Based on this reference, the price of the command turret MK4 should be arround 900. If we take the Heavy Canon as reference it should be arround 800. Therefore, it seems that, based on...

For me the Command Turret is the most important technology as it avoid micro-management. To my mind, the commander turret is really too expensive, and its use does not justify its price except for the MK1. Just take a look at the HP of turret MK4, they are multiplied by less than 2 while its cost is...

Ok.
Thank you for the explanation. I'm probably not a good player since I don't really understand how not to use them
But actually, I rarelly play multiplayers games but in skirmish, I'm used to have 3-4 commanders.
Well, I guess I will make a mod for myself.

The command-turret MK1 cost is 500 under version 2.2.0, closing then reopening the design screen should make it display the correct power cost and bodypoints of any command unit's. Actually, this change does not appear in the change log of the 2.2.x version nor is it discussed in the forum. One can...

Actually, I do not want anybody to correct this issue, I just want to know if somebody else has the same issue. Or, if I am the only one who pays 500$ for a commander, while it was inexpensive in the previous version.
I am actually looking at the code. It is interesting, but a bit huge :-S .

Well it looks like nobody uses commanders.
Anyway, I also see this problem with the trunk version of wz2100.

In fact, this problem is more complicated. When I design a new unit with a command-turret, the price of the command-turret is 1 and it has almost no HP. When I re-open this unit, its total price have changed, the price of the command-turret is now 500 and it now has 1000 HP. In the original game and...

Hi! I have compiled and run WZ2100 in the 2.2.0 version. It appears that when I design a commander unit, the command-turret looks inexpensive (cost 1) as in the previous version (2.1.*). However, when I try to produce this unit, its price is about 500 more than expected. Does anybody has the same is...
