Propaganda airship bug Options

[Shockwavelover84]

When double clicking to select a group of airships, I ran into a bug where only 3 out of 4 airships on screen would be selected.

Apparently, it's not a bug. Here is mine.

It is not a bug,have you noticed how 4th looks different ? That is a Easter Egg Propaganda Airship,which have memes instead
of Mao and Nuke pictures on its displays and also plays trololo (whatever it is called) song instead regular one.

Either troll air ship can group select.

Oh I didn't realize that - I think it should be in map editor only, not in the actual game - having it not be group selectable just causes gameplay inconvenience.

Not to mention, I don't mind subtle Easter eggs, but that is just too "in your face" and makes the game seem too comical.

That's all well and good - point though is that I don't think an Easter egg should come at the expense of gameplay; not being able to select an entire group just for the sake of adding in an Easter Egg isn't the best idea.

I'm also not fond of 4chan-esque memes especially if they're so in-your-face that it disrupts the mood of the game. I mean a non-visual reference in one of the unit dialogues is one thing, but giving a unit a comical appearance like that is too much.

It probably won't happen, but I think this unit should be restricted to the World Builder - or made a separate addon (like the Prism Tank addon).

Better question: How many actual ingame situations would require you to have a group of propaganda airships? The heal area is already pretty massive and IIRC the heal doesn't stack. Getting the troll ship is very rare, plus the airships in general aren't exactly hard to select, so there is virtually no hindrance to gameplay, at the very least it's not something your gonna lose a game over.

Not to mention there are plenty of other things you can do like assign them to a control group or press "W" once (provided you have no other aircraft in the area).

With regards to it's comical nature being "too much", there are plenty of other things in the mod that are of the same, if not, greater level as this.
