Yay for invisible lasers

[Guest JediIgor]

Should I even ask how this game got through QA?

[Ghostly_Substance]

Someone is behind fog of war and only way to find out if thats true is to go in the lasers fired location.

I sent all my ships in that corner, in the end I had to pick Auto-Resolve. Thanks a lot stupid bug, you made me lose 2 Acclamators due to the game's magical auto-resolve system.

Auto-Resolve punishes the user, I'm certain. I auto resolved a land battle and lost 2 AT-ATs, 5 AT-STs, 2 Speeder Bikes, 8 Stormtrooper companies, 1 Field Commander, 3 Podwalkers, 2 2-M Tanks, 6 TIE Crawlers and 1 SPMAT and the rebels lost 2 T2-B Tanks, 1 MPTL squad, 1 Plex Soldier squad, and a Barracks...

 

What sounds wrong with that? I won, but c'mon...

Someone found a variable that proves that Auto-Resolve is very against you. It turns down your units strength and effectiveness while it uses bad tactics.

Well, it does say in the instruction book that if you auto-resolve a battle, you would lose more units than if you had commanded the battle yourself. Does ANYONE actually read instruction books before they play a game?!

just to prove auto resolve sucks here  is a acopy and paste from the capital ships XML its from the calamari cruiser.

I already knew that, I was just giving a friendly warning to auto-resolvers...I play most ground missions because it's worth the extra time to save many (or some cases, all, I've saved, autoed, then loaded and played to see the difference) of your units from certain death. Units are expensive.

Ive had a huge fleet lose to a tiny rebel fleet when i auto resolved, and when i reloaded and did it myself i didnt lose a single one. Never auto-resolve unless you have a 200 to one advantage over them.

[DragonShadow]

Even then, don't do it if you can avoid it. You lose a lot of money rebuilding the units you lost.

Or, you can just act like the computer and do nothing but mass a shitload of Corvettes.  Your auto-resolve will probably work!

The autoresolve doesn't seem to favor more units.  My favorite tactic/abuse of this is sending a single Infantry squad into a heavily guarded enemy ground force.  Even though you will always lose the infantry, the enemy almost always loses at least one ground unit.  Of course, any smart human player won't agree to autoresolve if that's being used against him.

 

However, how does the decreased autoresolve health work?  If both sides' units decrease, it won't effect gameplay.

It only affects the side that's auto-resolving.

This is not an invisible laser - in fact your galaxy is just beeing invaded by the Ori (SG-1).  ;D

[Foshjedi2004]

NOOOO  Not the Ori!!!

 

Uk Just had Mobus PtII last week so Series 9 is a while away  :'(

Two acclamators...I'm gonna cry.

Try 18 ISDs killed by a Lvl5 Statoin and a single MC cruiser do to Auto Resolve

Hehehehehehehehehehehehe......and the moral of the story is: Don't Auto-Resolve!!!

[Mr.Caine]

But then again it gets annyoing when a enemy comes with about 45 corvets and you have a LV5 space and about 5 ISDs  and you dont feel like fighting them so you auto resolve.
