    - Helios & Zeus
    - Dox launcher
    - maybe something else

    I've starter new GW after release of TITANS, the only mod that I'm using is green fab spray mod.

    I played a GW with the Artillery commander and the Dox launcher was present.

    Helios is missing in 2 games so far though.

    I am not using any mods.

    Aha!

    I've tested my GW, and I'm definitely unable to build Helios and Zeus. I have modded my start card though, so I wasn't sure this is the case for the unmodded version. Apparently it is!

    Any fixes for this? I'm inclined to think it's not the unlocking, or my modded version would have them. It must be deeper down.

    The Dox launcher is present in mine.

    I might have found the cause.

    The file gwc_enable_titans has this in it:

    inventory.addUnits([
    '/pa/units/land/titan_bot/titan_bot.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_vehicle/titan_vehicle.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_orbital/titan_orbital.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_structure/titan_structure.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_air/titan_air.json'
    ]);


    Stuart98 points out that
    Zeus is in /pa/units/air/titan_air/titan_air.json
    Helios is in /pa/units/orbital/titan_orbital/titan_orbital.json

    I'll tinker with the file and see what happens, but I bet this is the problem.

    @jables @mkrater Silly typos. Tell whoever updated the Galactic War cards that Stuart98 thinks them to be bad and that they should feel bad. :)

    I have tested the change and I can confirm that is the problem.

    could a dev make note of this for the next patch? Thanks!

    Soooo... cookie for Dread?

    So I should remember that next time you make a mistake? Be nice.

    Don't be silly, I don't make typos. It's not like I always have to release a hotfix whenever I update my mods or anything. :)

    Speaking of mods, how hard would it be to make a mod that fixes the 2 Titans in GW while we wait for a patch? I've modded other games but never PA, not sure what's involved and don't really want to spend the time to learn just to fix this one thing, but it seems like some of you guys in this thread would know how to slap that together really easily. Hint hint. :)

    It's like really easy.

    Go to

    Planetary Annihilation Titans\media\ui\main\game\galactic_war\cards\gwc_enable_titans.js

    You need to edit with something like notepad.
    Find this:

    '/pa/units/land/titan_bot/titan_bot.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_vehicle/titan_vehicle.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_orbital/titan_orbital.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_structure/titan_structure.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_air/titan_air.json'

    You can see that it thinks that all titans are in "land" folder.
    This is how it should be:

    '/pa/units/land/titan_bot/titan_bot.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_vehicle/titan_vehicle.json',
    '/pa/units/orbital/titan_orbital/titan_orbital.json',
    '/pa/units/land/titan_structure/titan_structure.json',
    '/pa/units/air/titan_air/titan_air.json'

    Mind you, there is a hotfix due soon. Probably Monday? That will likely fix this.
