Zone base / Strats relocating bug

[Lusche]

Current (for 11 days now) map Trinity. Despite all zone bases being in the original country's hands, the strats are still 'in exile', and thus more or less out of reach for all practical purposes.

Example:


Knight strats are currently the same.

Surfin and I were discussing this in the arena yesterday but neither of us remembered to post a thread.

Thanks snailman.


The rooks front lines were far behind the threshold that would trigger the factories to retreat to the rear but the factories did not retreat.

The knights and rooks had rolled pretty far into rook territory and had 100% of thier own fields yet the factories did not advance.

In what is passing odd, given the Strats' practical versus theoretical value (almost nil) as a target, why move them at all?

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 am fairly sure we found the issue.

We have a command to save the state of the arena. We try use it when we are installing new hosts, and it was used previously when we had 2 arenas.

If the arena was reset manually (like we have been with the new hosts) when the arena was restarted, the correct zones would not be activated.

I fixed it for the next patch.

HiTech,

Thanks for supply some feedback on the problem instead of just giving a fixed-for-next-patch line.  I'm getting close to finishing another MA map and like to look over the boards to see if there are any new issues with maps before submitting.

When the factories vacate where they were to either advance or retreat, the trains continue to resupply the former site.

Do those trains that are resupplying the now rural area have any effect on the city/strats in thier new position?

Also.....Is it possible for the downtimes for the defensive guns at the strats to be affected bu strat damage levels like the buildings?
