Hotfix build 76557 is live - Unit Cannon Update!

Where is the automatic eco-feature than?! It doesn´t show up under energy options...

Have you already been sending out your press announcement linking to that trailer?
You should try to get your place in the news on the most important sites!

Yeah, they took that out in the last PTE build - I guess it wasn't quite ready (not sure).

Umbrella laser dosent seem to be in-line with the barrel

AMG YES

Thank you so much!

Potbelly Commander is in the armoury!

*Buys it for 5.79 Canadian*

Added hotfix 76514 to OP

Very nice.

The like/post ratio is strong in this one...

Watching this patch on elodea's stream (both before and after hotfix), I have to say it looks like a winner. There have been some really exciting and varied games.

The AI has really improved these last weeks, he puts up a good fight now
Ima still suggest some improvments though.

AI should be more greedy for metal, when AI has a planet to himself he doesn't grab all the metal even after 30+ minutes, you really should.
I usually fight 2 absurds now in a 2vs1, I wish you could put the challenge of 2 AI's into one, I use 2 because that means the AI team grabs way more metal and poses more of a threat.

AI regularly uses Astreus to move his commander from planet to planet, that'll get you killed.
Send a fabber instead, and limit the commander to using gates so he doesn't get killed by 1 lone AA capable unit or an umbrella.

I also have a question about attackmove vs area attack, why are the unit behaviours different for these actions ?
Area attack makes units move in closer than necessary to engage targets while attackmove makes units engage at max range which is better, could this be applied to area attack too please ?

This has probably been suggested before but I'd also love to have a standing area attack order that is not completed like area repair, but stays active like area patrol.

All the new maps are pretty good! Especially like the naval maps, you guys did an awesome job on these. It's hard to get a map that sees good interaction between land and naval.

Also, even though you reverted back to the old version of Forge there was surprisingly little if any stuck or pathing issues. Nice one!

Maybe the multiplanet system with one lava and one metal could use with slightly less mex spots on the metal planet though.

new unit attribute: factory.pass_on_orders

Sadly I've been unable to create a mobile factory with it.

My PC decided to suicide three weeks ago. Having a pause and coming back to see this update is very pleasing. Gonna try it out, thank you!

Wtf have you done with anti-nuke ? Nukes are already really expensive, and you need a few when anti-nuke are built. Now you will need huge amount of nukes to penetrate defense.
I think you've just killed the nuke.

"JUST?"

haha yeah I kinda thought "wait nukes died month ago, somebody still used them?" xD

Build 76514 still gives a server crash when you build like 12+ Unit Cannons and fire them all at once. The replay ID does not show I guess since it is a server crash. It was about 30 minutes into a awesome game.. two metal planets. Me vs AI (both on separate planets)

Can you make a 1 minute video to show us what he looks like in game plz ?
