[Bug 0915] Distant hero recruitement

from Elemental Forums


I noticed a Kraxis scout unit recruit a hero which were two squares away. I had a town between the scout and the hero. The hero was standing adjacent to the town. It is possible that the town was considered distance cost 0 when calculating, and thus making the scout believe it was adjacent. If that's how the formula looks like then enemy towns should not be considered distance 0.

This game is still amazing.

I mean champion not hero.

Same same :D
I have also been able to attack stuff from the other side of my own city, even though the town was 3 tiles wide, and my hero unit then remained on the tile he attacked from (3-4 tiles away from what he attacked).

I also have had the attack through the town (my own only) then remain on the tile that the attack was triggered from, and suspect it is the towns being considered 0 travel distance, but with the changes coming in Beta4 we will have to re-test this one

I don't think they are changing it though. Doesn't seem so on the preview images.
I did always say only the "center" tile of the city should  be where you "enter" the city, and the rest is just graphics to improve how the game looks, so you wont have the teleporting some people have a problem with.

Hmm I always thought the way this works was good. If you build in a straight line following roads it makes it very easy to move your main team around to respond to threats when needed.

Yea you are right, as it is now you can somewhat ignore defences if you can move around fast enough.

I personally like this idea.  If a battle happens to occur in these suburbs, the tactical map could be within a town (maybe with pedestrian onlookers or fleeing peasants).  Yes, I am obsessed with fighting in built up areas.
