Strat.

[Citabria]

Ok got back to the strat issue.

There was a bug that was causing the city not to effect the factories as it should, Basically the each train at the city was supplying all factories, so that the factories would come up much faster then they should have.

This was fixed on the host this afternoon and the strat should now be functioning as advertised.

I was right! I knew it!

I reported this bug lookit me i helped! yay!

What?  You do not want to be functioning the way you are supposed to?

Read that line again.  Notice, I used the word "You" in asking him a question about how he is functioning?

Now, should we talk about how you are functioning?

Contrary to popular rumor-mongering, I do not always hit you over the head with a bat.  I only do that when I am forced to, otherwise I can be pretty subtle.

As subtle as someone tripping over a computer cord anyway

Now about this next update.........whats in it......

It is all a matter of perspective.

You did not help me , because I never saw your post. But Lusche did help me a lot by posting real test results.

ah bummer. I posted it all over bug reports and terrain editor forums a while back.

I was just excited to have been so accurate in what i percieved to be causing the strat rebuild bug

city stays down but all other factories respawn in 45 minutes regardless of city status.

I believe it is related to the 5 trains that are setup to resupply the 5 factories.

if you set them up direct to the factory with a 2 mile radius the radius of resupply overlaps quite a bit onto other strats.

so unless each strat factory train is just a damage supply reduction mechanism and does not allow more than 100% resupply then its possible the factories are being supplied multiple times each time the trains run to nearby factories.

What?  You do not want to be functioning the way you are supposed to?  I bet you did not know the game could do that. If that tweak scared you, just wait for the next update. You'll be running down the halls screaming like a little school girl.

Just as long as the first map up is not Trinity, otherwise I'll be running down the halls screaming like a loon.

Question is just how does hammering the strat targets effect the bases.    

If HTC would give some details as to how bombing the strat targets effect the resupply of the bases it may go a long way in making bombing runs to the industrial complex a more common occurrence.

Now now Ted, how is that any different from every other day????? 

Sorry, I just kinda sorta had to 

See ya's up.

Well, this confirms it HiTech is a DWEEB

Looking forward to it

I have a question about the train tracks around the city.

Do some tracks supply more than one asset?

I ask this because I have a film from a few days ago where I saw a train every 5 minutes (possibly less) heading down toward the city.

This fix seems to have reintroduced the shy strats bug.

[SmokinLoon]

The theory goes as such:

Factories supply bases. Bring factories down to x% and downtimes at bases for that type of object increases.
City supplies factories. Bring city down to x% and downtimes for factory objects increases.

You MUST take the city down before taking a factory down, otherwise factory downtime is unaffected.

This is how I remember reading about how the strat system is supposed to work.

Maybe.  Perhaps.  No one knows save for HTC themselves.  There is no HTC based information to reference.  It the AH Trainer's website has anything that might be from 2002 so I wouldn't pay much attention to that.  It would be nice to know of the thresholds needed to reach in order to have XYZ effect on the default resupply (convoy, barge, train, etc) of bases.  As it is we can bomb the industrial complex down to its knees and we don't know how it effects the bases.

In my year here, I have yet to see the city bombed below 24 percent..........except when I drove a tank in while friendlies bombed it.
