Artillery duels between land and sea units
« on: August 31, 2015, 08:01:30 PM »
Usually, when two artillery units attack each other, there is an artillery duel that ends with the death of one combatant. However, there is one exception to this rule, and that's when a sea unit and a land unit engage in such a duel - only a few rounds of combat seem to occur before the fight concludes. It is therefore nigh impossible to sink a ship from the land or to blow up a land artillery from the sea.

Every other attack in the game results in death of one of the combatants, with the exception of a) bombardment (an artillery unit attacking the non-artillery one) and b) disengagement, both of which are explicitly stated in the rules.

So - should there be another exception, or is it a bug?

Noticed this too, I feel like it's a bug.

Industrial Grade Nano-Paste, one of Planet's most valuable commodities, can also be one of its most dangerous. Simply pour out several canisters, slide in a programming transponder, and step well away while the stuff cooks. In under an hour the nano will use available materials to assemble a small factory, a hovertank, or enough rifles to equip a regiment.
