Title: Base Taking
Post by: paintmaw on February 25, 2002, 07:31:27 PM

I saw a33 taken by the rook last night with 3 bunkers and the church still up. There were troops in the air but we didn't kill them because the town was not flat , the base was still captured with the town not dead ,, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!!!

I noticed this too on Sunday, enemy Bunker and ammo popped back up, troops went in maproom, and we captured it. Odd.

It may have to do with the object definition, and what the code considers in determining if the town is "down."  Bunkers fuel tanks may be considered field objects, as opposed to "town objects."  The code may only require that all "town objects," i.e. buildings, be destroyed to capture, but doesn't care about "field objects" like ammo bunkers and fuel tanks.

Saw the same thing happen with a depot.  It was several weeks ago but I was defending when a goon sneaked in under me.  I dived and killed the aircraft, paid no attention to the troops because buildings were up, but the capture took anyway.

Maybe it has something to do if some troops were already dropped and made it when the buildings were down?
