Default Re: How to not glass

Phoh. Sometimes AI makes... shoud I say Exceptional battles in simultaneous games. In one PBW game I am playing now, I send a fleet which formation was Wall and strategy Capture Planet. Of course there was troop transport with troops inside. Planet had one weapon platform in it.

My fleet advanced in wall formation and shooted the platform away and formation stopped there. Now, my dear troop transport starts to go through planet from the edge of the battle field to land the troops. My wall of warships is between planet and transport and they are still in wall formation. Troop transport goes as near as just behind the fleet leader. It was almost fun to look at 25 turns when nobody moved, because my idiot transport had no idea how to go around my fleet. The captain was executed.

I think I'll use break formation from now on (it works also when capturing planets if you have troop transport in your fleet, tested)...

btw, does anybody know if fleet experience counts in battles when formation is broken?
