Fortifications- Troops Does this work??
 

Does this facility work??
Thought that the troops need a bonus for defence since the loss of weapons platforms and fighters in the 1.27 mod.....

Re: Fortifications- Troops Does this work??
 

I have never seen the AI use troops. Instead the AI just destroys the colony.

Re: Fortifications- Troops Does this work??
 

That maybe true, but I am playing two multi-player games!!

And so troops are more likely to be used.

I just want to know if the modifier is correct mostly.....

Re: Fortifications- Troops Does this work??
 

Ahh... sorry. I've never seen this ability on any of the existing components. I'm glad I checked abilities.txt before I posted this reply. Why don't you test it out, and I'll test it out, and then we'll post our findings here. Looks like you found an ability in abilities.txt which isn't on any of the existing facilities? It looks okay but testing is the only way to know for sure.

Re: Fortifications- Troops Does this work??
 

It's not a component but a facility.

Was doing it as a very large troop but found this ability and change it over to a facility as then it can not be moved off world and will no have a bucket load of weapons.

Just want to know if the plus/ minus is right. I don't have a game that far along that I can do combat.

Thanks for looking.

Just start up a high tech game with only two human players in a small galaxy and control both of them. No need to wait until you have a game that far along.

Also, adjusting the supply usage and the extra movement points of your engines makes this kind of test even easier.
