Partially damaged HQ resupply?
« on: July 07, 2003, 03:12:59 PM »
What's the REAL story on HQ resupply if PARTIALLY down?
Some say if it's partly down you cant resupply it...others say you can.
In the main arena the other day someone said it was programmed not to be resuppable .
If this is the case why hasnt this been updated in the Aces High manual so all of us will know for sure?
This is all I could find relative .


HQ Status
Enemy and Friendly Cnt refers to sector counters, or the red or green squares in the map sectors, for friendlies and enemies.  If a country's HQ is destroyed, then all radar and sector counters for that country are disabled.  As the HQ becomes damaged the radar components are destroyed in this order: friendly counters, enemy counter, friendly radar and enemy radar.


thanks

The order of components that are lost is the other way round.

Then the manual is wrong that is a direct copy and paste.

HQ is not a part of the strat system  like the other facilities are.........

eg if you switch the strat system off in an arena .......... it is still possible to attrit the enemies radar by hitting his HQ. So the HQ effect on radar is in place even when the arenas is ignoring the effect of cities and facilities on various field object rebuild rates.

Having noted its a little different does it still rebuild the same way?

Well the help says yes it does..........

It says that it will build its self over 2 hours (actually this is now a variable which can be set for each object type in an arena)

It says it can be resupplied to shorten this period. Resupply is either strat driven via trains (based upon city health) or player resupply. No distinction is made.

Progressive HQ damage effects do seem to be reversed from the actuality. We lose freindly darbar last

You may also note that towns, hangers and SB's cannot be resupplied and are not effected by strat.

They always rebuild at a fixed rate.

yeah they are field objects... if you supply to the local field tower those field objects will be re supplied too.......

I should have said town objects, hanger objects and SB objects to be more precise....

Field tower? Supplies don't supply what is close to them but via the tower?

A damaged but not destroyed HQ cannot be resupplied by players.  A destroyed HQ can be.  Ancient bug.  Hopefully it'll be fixed one day/.

Talked to Skuzzy the other day in MA.
He says that partially damaged HQs cannot be resupplied by players.
Also this feature has been coded into the game intentionally.
Not a bug.

Was told the exact same thing by Skuzzy.

A 100% destroyed HQ can be resupplied by players.

A partially damaged HQ can not be player resupplied.

I asked if this was a bug since everyone says it is.

His reply was if a partially destroyed HQ can be resupplied by players then that would be a bug.

I agree that the HELP manual should be updated with this info so all could have access to it.

AFAIK field distances  are measured from the tower............

resupply is a field property, not an object property...........ie you resupply the field.......... the field  repairs the objects........ i think
