Nice work on everything so far HTC, I'm certain this will be a good source of information. (Once its setup.) :aok

Not sure if it is good or bad. Most info is on the boards. If a person won't search the boards what makes you think they will search Ah Wiki?

You really thinks it's just as easy to learn about a subject by searching 2.5 million messages on a forum than it is by looking up the topic in a wiki?  Wiki's are a source of poor and misguided info but the BBS is not?  Can't say I agree but feel free not to use it. :)

Take into consideration that the Search is fubar from the software change...

Still much better than any forum.

With out the BBS, I would have never learned that friendly troops reset the map room.  The wiki looks like a lot of work to keep current and accurate.  Hope it works out so we get a usable User’s Manual – if that is the intent.

Ummm... is this true? There's no doubt that many say friendly troops reset the counter, but that detail is NOT in the definitive help files. As far as I know, only a building popping resets the counter.

And whether true or not, I'll use the question to point out what Hub said before -- LOTS of stuff that appears on the BBS (or in the conversations of self assured players) is simply incorrect. That will also mean that HTC will need to intervene in the Wiki discussions more directly than they sometimes do here.
