• Those wishing to contribute to the game by making suggestions (both small and large) should read the following before doing so.

    Bushtarion largely runs completely automatically, and has been designed intentionally to be as self-maintaining as possible, with mechanics and balance considered at a completed point.

    Please do not spend large amounts of time coming up with complex suggestions in the hope that they will be read and possibly implemented in the future, unless you just enjoy the discussion, theory-craft, and such.

    The most likely changes will be rules-changes, specific number-tweaks to units, techs, and similar sorts of changes, and only if a large community consensus is reached as "proof" that a change would, overall, be an improvement, and are more likely to be done in batches, occassionally, not as a regular thing.

Do u have some sort of BR to post showing someone losing land even with the warriors there? Please post, because it has been my experience that they usually do stop land loss.

[close] 638,674 hostile Geo-Phys Thief stole 827 land. [276] tree. [415] bush. [69] flower. [67] grass. [0] uncultivated.


Died: 100,377,378 [£228,276,999,600] enemies dead.

You gained 15,948 effectiveness.


And they were there for three ticks, obviously

hence my suggestion for ratios for Gov units, cause you can still flak them, its possible

[edit] that wasnt tba btw, they couldnt reach me by then :p

Haha I saw that in a spy yesterday. Indeed, the bios stayed for 3 ticks, but coulnd't stop them. But it's same with SAS/Police, sometimes you CAN get through. Only with bios the chance is a lot smaller

I sort of agree with the upgrade tbh :p

I saw that land and was like "wow," I remember a few rounds ago they were landed on, but didn't realize that was possible anymore :p

and thats basically flak, yeah i'd agree

i knew it was possible to land VERY rarely (i thought) but that they would do insane amounts of damage troop wise, but that attack was definately worthwhile.

While all Gov troops target [ALL], Bio Mechs, iirc, have different targetting. Something like LET ALL. That is where the shitty ratio on pure flak comes from.

Didnt know that f0xx...

Ahh, that makes sense...thats why when its pure flak they dont stop it and dont do as much damage.

Although having said it should be changed im more for a change to AR which doesnt make AR automatically stop/kill/block an attacker...so leaving it as it is seems fine to me :)
It should be up to the solo player to do some of the work..

(However if AR isnt going to be changed their targeting should prob be altered in line with the other AR troops)

^^ it was TBA :p <3

hehehe. sorry for that :p

i sent quite a bit too much flak, triggered and found it cool that i *Finally* for once in my bush career triggered bios
so i stayed ;) and i landed :p

but yes indeed, i guess they could use an update :\
(it was fun tho :p)

well AR is there to help combat overwhelming forces... i believe when biomechs are sent it was assumed there are LET and so maybe instead of just sending biomechs it should be biomech/sas or biomech/police.

AR is meant to help vs an overwhelming force. not to *STOP* an overwhelming force.
