Armour Question

Hi all

Is there a way of stopping an Armour from loading further MWs other than sending it somewhere during the loading process?

If there are enough MWs nearby, it'll load up 100 of them, but is there a way of stopping the loading process after a lesser number has been loaded?

Another relevant point about Formations is that they are highly vulnerable to grenades. You can lose a large proportion of your WMs who are in a formation if the enemy lobs a grenade or two at them - the fact that they won't try to run away combined with their close-packing means heavy loses.

Indeed they do not. Explosives are needed to deal with the nests.


Ah, thx for the reply.

It was particularly with Ant Nests in mind that I made the suggestion in the 'Future' forum re: targeted attacking for the MWs. Do lasers not damage the Ant Nests at present by the way?

Weird, my system isn't as high-spec as some quoted in this thread; I use an AGP based gfx card (running in AGP 4x mode due to intractable stability issues), 2GB RAM and a fairly good CPU - an Athlon Dual Core (2.8GHz each core). I haven't noticed the slightest hint of frame rate loss at all yet.

The .pdf manual contains all the additional gameplay information that you need (and which isn't included in the tutorials). I was initially frustrated that there wasn't an options setting to increase the camera speed until I learned about the Shift key! :oops: Having said that, an Option to have 'qu...

I've dealt with them q. quickly with a conveniently placed gun turret (manually controlled to take down the ant hills). If they're in your spawn area, then the WMs can take them down, but you have to devote all spawning MWs to the task and it takes some time. I'd guess that an air attack (probably n...

Grenade Fury - select a group of WMs á la shield etc. and they all use only grenades for a short period of time (not if they're in formation, however). Teleport - select a group of WMs (as above), and instantly teleport them to another location on the map. Lastly, it'd be handy to open a crate conta...

Are the Ants 'Fire Ants'?

I discovered to my dismay yesterday that the ants are flame-proof :shock:

So, some kind of flame-retardANT..?
