That is a nice one to see! Is that in Escalation yet?

Can we please have it that they will engage any hostiles at the power generator, I.e. Neutral defenders, instead of them being shot up as they slow down for arrival. Our shoot anything as they still move to a destination.

Attack move should do that. The time it can be a problem is right at the beginning of a game and the units go straight from the factory to the node. They won't be on attack move so they'll amble up while getting shot. You either have to grab them as they come out the factory or send them up short of the node a bit. I wouldn't want attack move to be default for all move commands though. Perhaps factories could have a toggle on whether units come out in move mode or attack move mode.

My problem at the moment is if you queue a force to grab a bunch of nodes in a row they don't always finish grabbing one before moving on to the next. I guess this happens when a new defender unit spawns in just before it is fully captured but I'm not sure.

We have a big escalation patch int he works and this is part of it, but it isn't in public Escalation yet.

 

This patch has been released as an opt-in (instructions are in the first post). Please let us know if you have any feedback.

You might want to put it up in the Ashes Steam forum if you want more people to test it, that forum will get more relevant traffic I think.

Gave it a spin. 4 player ffa with tough ai on a tiny map. Quite good fun as so tight. Only bug encountered was telling troops to move somewhere when an Avatar was part of it. The Avatar went but troops didn't. They weren't part of an army. Sending the force without the Avatar worked out OK. Still hoping you can add Avatar to the F1 cycle of engineers as they are very hard to find.
