Re: Subordinate AI inclusion

The group move does a bit more than that with some formation keeping logic and the Role feature (often underutilized by the player) helping define what each unit in a group should be doing. With that said, improving the AI is an area actively being worked on, but this is an incredibly complex space ...

Re: Flashpoint Campaigns Cold War on Steam

I started after the Steam release, but I believe SS had a delayed Steam release simply because support for the Steam version had to be added in. I'm guessing CW will release on Steam at the same time. (But this is up to Matrix, so they may decide to keep it just as a direct sale for a bit, especiall...

Re: On the cheaer upgrade for existing owners... (thanks)

Yes, tactical transport means you'll have inorganic transport units that transport anything they have enough seats and weight capacity for. So if you want to airlift an entire motorized company you can as long as you have a transport unit large enough.

Re: Flashpoint Campaigns 2.1.4.8218 Official Update Released!

The ftp site being flagged as suspicious is likely due to a certificate mismatch. They often get certificates for only one of their domains and use them for both. So the certificate might be for matrixgames.com while the ftp site might be at slitherine.com (or vice versa). This will raise a flag for...

Re: What is your SOP setting?

I don't even use the same SOP for the same unit type consistently. It will depend heavily on what I need the unit to do, the enemy, and the landscape. Standoff 0 is typically reserved for infantry and recon in select circumstances though. Tanks generally prefer to be out of range of light AT weapons...

Re: Minefields, logistics and scenarios

If you look in the subunit inspector or scenario editor, there are already points allotted to the different platforms. So in a sense that part is already done. But there is a lot of UI and map design work involved in making that kind of custom force scenario.

Re: Minefields, logistics and scenarios

A technical point: You only really have simultaneous turns like WEGO on the initial setup. After that it's closer to an initiative style tbs, as you'll basically never have OODA loops that matchup again. 1) I don't think we have engineer placed minefields? Engineers can remove minefields, but in the...

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. You should be good to keep playing I think.

Then when you tried to re-upload the server said you had ...

Re: SOP Issues

It sounds like you are changing current order SOP instead of Default order SOP. Changing the Default SOP will change the SOP for new orders that get generated (this includes the ones you issue, but also ones like withdraw or automatic R&R). Check the dropdown at the top of the SOP manager window...

Re: BUG:APC auto cannon not fire enemy APC

We do factor in range reducing AP value, so that could be the reason it isn't firing. It could also be a matter of them not having positive identification of the target. APCs not moving often have a detection range short of 1km. If you can upload a save file for us to look at as an example that woul...

Re: Reinforcements not listed properly

I believe those units which arrive in reinforcements after the end of a scenario in a campaign are part of your core force, so it's to keep things working, without those units being available in that particular scenario in the campaign.

Re: Flanking, Enveloping and Encircling

Taking additional fire and potentially being outnumbered by such a situation will result in higher readiness/morale penalties, but there is nothing specific to the geometry of the situation. It is worth noting that unspotted units will often get shots on side armor and when in the same hex potential...

It says at the top "Default SOP for New Orders". That's also a dropdown if you want it to apply to a specific, currently issued order.

Re: Units relocating for no reason ?

I would hazard a guess that maybe the hold order didn't have it's SOP set correctly. This is an easy mistake to make as defender. If you set just the default, then don't change their current orders and they don't need movement orders then they don't implement the default. But a save file would help ...

This is fixed in the current steam beta (openly available to everyone if you don't want to wait for release). We are nearing the end of the beta and should have the fix on release soon.

Re: Crashes when opening unit dashboard or clicking around UI

Yes, I run at 4k, and I believe William runs at an ultra wide 4k. The fact that the error log reports your monitor at 1080p suggests to me that you've got some other display setting software that might be interfering. However, if it's working fine in the beta, then you're probably ok (we're reaching...

Re: How is WEGO implemented in this game?

It still looks like an amazing game, and I'm sure I'll end up purchasing on the next sale. Mine is just a general moan on WEGO games, as I think it's a missing oportunity to add flexibility to game play. Perhaps I should try to implement something like that myself... :) I also really like WEGO for ...

Re: FC: Southern Storm - v.2.1.4.8214 Public Beta Now Available

Here are 2 screen shots. Yup, the unit resupplies to 90%, but then 90% of 4 stinger missiles rounding down to a whole number is 3/4 missiles, which means the dashboard will show 75% ammo. You won't be able to reach 90% in actuality because you can't have that last 15% (which would be 0.6 of a missi...
