Re: [DEV] Content Generation - Ideas, Approaches & Discussions

Good to know. Because that's how i usually make a save after a scenario, when i do playtesting. Glad that it does not skew the gameplay :)

Re: [DEV] Content Generation - Ideas, Approaches & Discussions

Does it make a difference if you save during the "view battlefield" after the end of previous scenario (but before moving onto the next scenario deployment phase), instead of during the last turn of the previous scenario (before winner is declared)?

Re: [ADV] Advanced Play System - Questions & Commentary

It doesn't matter so much what class is a unit, it is the target type that counts. 0 = soft 1 = hard 2 = air 3 = naval Technically, you could have ships or planes that are soft / hard targets. Or ground units that are naval / air targets. And that would determine which attack stat is being used to a...

Distance to horizon from 35m height is ~20 km. Battleships main guns maximum range is ~40km.

(also, keep in mind there's no way to limit visibility to sea only, if spotting is increased capital ships would be able to see long distance inland, even over mountains :eek )
