I know all of that,i knew it long time before,but it is fine with me.zoid wrote:Although much discussion has taken place concerning fortresses, it appears that very little in-game testing has been done. Therefore I downloaded the fortress mod and did some testing of my own. The testing has shown several problems with treating fortresses as regular defenses.
The multiple build tool displays the fortresses as only one square wide. In fact, if you drag to form a 2x1 strip, your trucks will build one fortress and then stop.
The stock AI still built its fortresses a space apart, but did manage to permanently trap this poor Super Cyborg. It's possible this isn't due to the fortress mod, but most likely it is.
I also managed to create some lovely graphical glitches, such as these trucks building a fortress that is half inside a cliff.
It seems that several areas of the code assume that all defenses (meaning type DEFENSE) are 1x1, and serious issues result from having 2x2 defenses. While side-by-side fortresses is an excellent idea, successfully implementing them will require more effort than changing DOOR to DEFENSE.

I would like to do much things about this game,but I don't know how to!
So I do what i can and I'm satisfied with what is avalable.
But i guess that i should warn you about that.
About building,i don't build in line but 1 by 1,i have more control.
So,it's not going to be in game soon?Zarel wrote:Hmm. Okay, maybe we should just modify how DOOR works, instead of just switching it over to DEFENSE. I'm glad someone actually tested this. If I were using WIndows, I would've done so myself, but this kind of stuff is so much more complicated on Mac OS X. :/
