Steel walls not killing?

[Nonny]

Now I know steel walls are hardly famous killers but.... nothing from 17million plus of them!?

Anyone know why? I'm curious more than anything else.
Do they have a ratio of 20,000,000 : 1? :lol:

Yes I know I left my id in, but it's in my sig anyway. I also know I'm revealing my stealth unit numbers but that's fine. I'm not revealing my current AR bump though! ;)

[Garrett]

could have sworn this was answered even on the new forums but maybe not *sigh*

steel walls do NO health. they will NEVER kill, without a change to how the unit operates. they are armour and armour strippers.

[Nonny]

Thanks for the answer.

Although if you're going to help it would be much preferred without petulant sighs and the like. Relax a bit more, you're too young to be stressed so easily, take a chill pill or summat. ;)

It's hardly a big deal but if it's absolute zero I can't help wondering why Azzer doesn't take out the HD * in the staff list and leave it blank?

[pinpower]

yeah i believe i made a suggestion on the old forums to make a note in the manual (or in the little description of the unit in the hiring page) telling people that they will NEVER kill anything...only strip

or make it in the battle report so it says something like "69,000,000 allied steel walls fired at and stripped the armour of 47,586,858 hostile staff"

make it a bit clearer

Lol, Garret young... then I must be a kiddie.... weeeeeeee.

As for the topic, somewhere in the old forums there was a REALLY REALLY huge discussion on this subject. I cant remember what the reason for the * on the HD was, but I remember it had to do something with game mechanics. Besides, does it really bother you so much? It can be a bit confusing but nothing serious I think :P

[Nonny]

No, you're right it's not a big deal. Certainly not now I know the score. If I feel strongly about it enough I'll go and look it up in the old forums to read the debate you mentioned, but as I have an answer now I'll leave it be!

Still, what I will do is change the original post title in case someone else has the same query as then it's easier to spot. :)

[CLem]

I think that no matter if people *should* know that steel walls don't kill but just strip armor as a common knowledge or not, there should still be a note there somewhere to tell and remind people, this is a perfect example of how this game is geared to retaining the old players instead of attracting the new.
Not everyone reads every single post of the forum, new players won't know about it and will definitely be easier if there is a note on the development or route description.

[f0xx]

Agreed with that too...

I appreciate your response, but could do without your prejudgement.

my sigh was that I wanted to post a couple of hyper links from this forum as I cba to look in the old forum. didn't see one I could link real quick (was in a meeting at the time at work) so I sighed cuz I can't believe this is the first it's come up on the new boards - NOT that you asked it.

Ohh ok, fair enough. I'm sure looking back you can see how it read but fair enough, my assumption was wrong and I apologise. :)

[Garrett]

ofc i can. that doesn't stop me from stomping around and saying what I want.

how dare you apologize. seriously tho, i wasn't looking for an apology so I assume you take it back and we'll move on with life.

[f0xx]

Geez... people appologizing to Garret... where is this world going to? :o

I also guess this thread can be locked now.

Dont delete my post plz.

ktnx.
