Building Style (units)

posted on August 5th, 2003, 1:18 pm

Age Of Empires (where if u have more than one building u can build more units at any one time)
Command & Conquer (where u can build a unit slowly and pay for it it in parts put on hold ect)
Fleet Opps

I dont really like how in C&C you can only build one unit at a time from a structure. I always keep forgetting to build more tanks and I end up with like, 5 tanks while my opponent has 50.

In AOE, when you select multiple units to build from a single structure, you pay the total resource cost for all those units right when you click to build them, but in Armada, the resource cost isnt payed until the construction of that ship begins. ( I think)

i prefere the "you spend the money when construction begins" method.. but perhaps i can make a freez option for the yards, so you can hold on construcion without killing the complete construction queue

In CnC generals i like the idea of clicking 30 things to build and it builds as i get cash and power for buildings. but thats me. making 30 ships in a few clicks would allow me to concentrate on other areas as the build.

in beta2 you can insert "delays" in the construction queue, so the yard will wait, 30 seconds before it continues whitch the next vessels.. this could perhaps help you managing your resources

nope, changing the behavior of how resources are paid is not possible.

i dislike the C&C one since having more yards means u have back ups but u cant build one uit at each unlike in a2 and aoe,aoe2(aok) and swgb

I like the C&C style. It helps (not much but every bit counts) with the Tank Rush.
