Thanks Oleg!

That's because wars in PBW games of Proportions (where it would matter) are few and far between, due to the slowed down nature of the mod. I am probably one of the only people in a war in a PBE Proportions game (me, and the player that is my enemy). So, a common situation would be unlikely to arise.

just because i like to jump on bandwaggons, this would effect me too. im speedily losing a war in a porportions PBW game, and it isnt even against Fyron.

Wow it's been so long since i visited here (just after gold was released if i remember right), and so much has been achieved. Anyway, to my question, are the updates to the proportions mod posted in this thread, also updated to the mod on the proportions web site.

To me, (totally) loosing a war in Proportions is a pretty hard thing to do. I'm in turn 400 or something in a game aganist the AI and I'm still trying to take down a _neutral_ empire's homeworld. Apparently 35 ships with 8 point defense cannons V isn't enough to take down a planet with a bunch of missile weapon platforms. Maybe this new design with shield depleters will be more effective... Then again, I think the reason my fleet died was because they couldn't punch through the 4000 infantry on the planet. Oddly enough, the infantry were taking damage first, and providing a _lot_ of cushioning, considering their 100kt damage resistance for 1 kt of space.

If you're just trying to kill it, just use a tectonic bomb.

And you don't need to cut down the shields to drop troops for a capture.

AFAIK, the units take damage in the reverse order they have been constructed, ie Last build is killed first. It would make sense to build WP with weapons only first and then cover it with troops. Heroes cover cannons with their bodies and stuff...
