On topic: When the tactical map is too small
 

Hi, Been a while http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

So, Question:
What happens when the tactical map is too small to contain all the ships ?
(Yes, we are there in the RTH 2 game)

A: It fills with equal number of defenders and attackers.
B: It fills up with defenders, leaving just the remaining spaces for the attacker.
C: Something random.
D: The game crash.

Anybody got a clue http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

I'd guess C and or D.

Isn't the tactical grid like 60 by 60? You guys have combats involving more than 3600 ships? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

Go old school and pick champion ships to decide the combat for you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

yes.

I've noticed that the ships overlap (with each other and warp points and planets). Fighters will be launched on top of other ships or in the nearst empty space (even if it's on the other side of the map).

I'm not sure if there other implications. i.e. if one of ships overlaps with an enemy ship are they considered ramming? Or if you shoot an overlaping enemy ship, will you damage your ship as well/instead?

You can tractor beam ships onto other ships; it dosen't count as a ram. They'll just fly away at the next opportunity.

You only take ram damage if you give a ram order.

I doubt they are considered ramming (at least before they can move). If you ram an enemy ship and both of them survive, they will happily coexist in the same square.

Eeek! Ok Primitive, please please stay away from my empire in RTH 2! I'm not near built up enough if you can fill the combat area fully http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif Remember, I'm 1/4 Norwegian, we've got to stick together http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Who said the big stack was mine http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Poor little me just popped a scout through a warphole and found a little more than I think I can handle (in one go).

Hmmm, maybe I can sacrifise a few ships on a test http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Your a 1/4 Renegade Norwegian. Do you know what we do with Renegades in Norway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Wildcard:
Since its not my ships it must be up to the still anonymus owner. If he wants to post, then I have no objections.
