Research Building Cumulative Upgrades

posted on January 16th, 2004, 3:56 pm

Hello,

I notice in the original Armada 2 that research at buildings if the same type was not cumulative unlike Starcraft for example. Would it be possible to "instruct the game" to build the first building normaly, then any subsequent ones with previously research pods already included into them?

Regards,

mh, well you shouldn't be able to research a upgrade which you already have.. but if your research building gets destroyed the research is lost too. we would love to make it in another way, but till now we found no way to deal with that

To Eufnoc :

That is not what I meant. If you build say 2 vulcan research stations, and you research wepons lv2 upgrade in one of them it will add a pod to this station,but not to the other one. So if you research lv2 sheilds and want to get lv 3 weapons with the other station, you can't. In Strarcarft, you could build 2 upgrade facilities of the same type and aquire more complex(slower) tecnologies faster.


Is there a way for the game to keep tack of the pods already built in order to be able to coordonnate research between buildings?

I don't think that's possible with the A2 game engine.
