Is it only me or someone else had noticed that Russian PP even after upgrade doesn't
give too much electric power,or maybe it does but then other Russian buildings draw to much of power ? I always end with dozen of powerplants all around place while playing with Russians. I have to ask also . . . Will some of ROTRs Generals get unique powerplant same as Alexander and Tao did in ZH ? |

I don't think it is that much of a problem and it might be part of Russia's playstyle as well.

QUOTE (Re_Simeone @ 23 Sep 2013, 16:59) Kashtan can't do a thing to a vehicles... base defenses are not all about the structures. Kashtan's soul purpose is 1- defend against infantry/light vehicle rush at the start and 2- anti- air. Generally, vehicles and infantry make the best defence. Ever heard the phrase "the best defense is a good offense"? use tesla tanks, conscripts, shock troops, kodiaks, and tungustas as RF defenses. hell, I use my hinds, VDV and MSTA as defences with grumbles thats it no structures. result in power plant is like 6 power plants total maybe aside from the GLA generals, can anyone tell which general im waiting for in anticipation? =P This post has been edited by Xofolez: 23 Sep 2013, 16:29 --------------------  Das vidanea! |

RPG Components can however and they're pretty darn good at it as long as they don't draw too much fire themselves.

^ That and the power of tesla coils have to be ofset by something which in this case is their large power consumption.

There will be General-specific towers that we haven't revealed yet that will help. Do note however that Russia isn't defense centric. --------------------  SWR Co-Lead | Texture Artist | Modeler | Level Designer | Fan of all things Awesome |

I remember someone mentioning bunker and artillery components he saw in a code long time ago,but that info may be outdated...
Is smoke launching component from concept art that was showed during interview put into consideration to appear in some future release or that was just there to sparkle our imagination ? This post has been edited by Re_Simeone: 23 Sep 2013, 17:59 |

I never use RPG tower. Putting a Sentinel or Golem in between 2 Kashtans would be the better.
The RPG towers also consumns power, but are pretty weak. We need about 5 RPG towers to be equal to 2 Tesla coils. -------------------- We Die Standing.

I always spam power plants because I can. Get out of your base and build secondary bases with many power plants, and even more. Civilian power plants also work, and stealing power plants from the enemy also gives you more power. Otherwise you can use your own units as defenses.

Why are you building defenses in the first place? Use your tanks.

Is it possible or even codable to have it where instead of an option that has to be ticked in the options menu it can be toggled on a selected unit like how F can be used for formations? -------------------- ☻/ Glory to Arstotzka.
