These are two save-games, one from the beginning of the mission and one where my units are sitting on top of the objective point, and I have not gained control of the Alpha units. For reference: Ubuntu 9.10 WZ trunk rev. 10641 No cheats or mods I normally wouldn't worry so much about a bug in trunk,...

I'd make an OS X trunk build for you guys, but the pathing in trunk is currently somewhere between "unplayable" and "really unplayable", so I'mma fix that before going further. It's the price we pay for the bleeding edge. I started with a weekly trunk build from the get-go (situ...

You may be right. I didn't have nearly so many problems with G2 (an away map) but had the same problems in G3 (home map again). Though there's a possible confound: I had far more tanks moving in a large group during G1 and G3 (16+commander), as compared to a much smaller force during G2 (6+commander...

I only mentioned it because the actual unfixable getting stuck usually only happens to me every couple of missions, and last night it happened 8 times in one mission, pretty much any time I moved a group of tanks anywhere. At first I passed it off as coincidence, but I can't imagine there is such a ...

I just replayed the first couple missions of Gamma campaign and ran into a very large problem with pathfinding. Half a dozen times in the first mission alone, one of my tanks got hung up on some piece of terrain and would not move on its own. About half the time I was able to unstick it by driving s...

For what it's worth, I have cut-scenes installed, so that's not what is causing the problem (even if it could have been). I've also played through all of Alpha campaign without cutscenes, and while the storyline is non-existent and most of the missions don't make any sense, it didn't effect game-pla...

Same problem (get to the Alpha survivers, objective dot goes away, but I don't gain control of the Alpha units). I'm using the latest trunk version. I'll try firing up beta 11 and see what happens?

But that bug has been fixed in 2.3, right? See, I just assume that everyone else is also playing from a build on the bleeding edge. Recompiling from the trunk every night means things get fixed quicker, right?

Requires a change to the savegame format. Perhaps you guys could make a list of changes that would require changing it and then hit 'em all with a single blow? Just a thought. Ahh wait! Let me finish this run-through of the campaign first! *hides his precious save files from your cruel obsolescence.*

This change, if carried over to campaign, will probably have a bigger effect there than in skirmish, since you don't get Tank Killers for quite a while. Then again, maybe that's a good thing. The fact that a small bunch of Lancers can tapdance over pretty much anything up until the middle of Beta ca...

Re: heavy lasers. I would like to put forward this argument: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_YAL-1 The anti-ballistic laser plane. From the article: "The heart of the system is the COIL, comprising six interconnected modules, each as large as an SUV turned on-end. Each module weighs about 6...

Experiment!

That was pretty slick. If I hadn't looked at that chart just last night I probably would have gone for it.

1. I like the idea, mentioned above, that there can be a "soft time limit" for some missions. Once the time is up you stop producing power and research stops, but you can still build, produce, and attack. This cuts out the turtling for cash and tech while still allowing a more conservative...

1. Of course yes.

2. Also yes. I can't think of a single time that I've ever wanted my commander in front. Sucks for people who use commanders instead of sensors for artillery units... *shrugs*
