Greetings!   In the original D2000 there were something in the multiplayer (practice?) where one could play against set-number of AIs. It has some nice maps like the "Imperial basin". Could I play something like that in D2K Online? If yes, where and how? Thanks for any kind of replies!

you posted on the dune 2000 subforum, you mean dune 2000 or dune emperor? If it is emperor, no idea if it is dune 2000, they don´t get chaos lighting.

Hi there, why I never see Chaos Lightning in Ordos missions? even in the last misson of Ordos house, I've built all constructions and upgraded... thanks in advance!

ah, no worries! take your time  I'm just doing spritework in the meantime lol. nice to hear from ya though, X3M got that Railgun Tank sidebar icon sorted the other day, but like the Kovi and Castle it doesn't have a place in any tech tree just yet. I DID intend for it to be a unit for the native rival faction to the Aether Knights, but it's a really cool new unit and the AK need something in the Autogun Tank's spot in their tech tree, sooooo I might just put it there. I've got other ideas for that other faction lol oh yeah, Shotgunners were in the Summers' Solstice campaign and will remain the Light Infantry-like unit for the smugglers and mercenaries in this campaign. they have more impact against light armor, albeit only slightly, than the former standard Riflemen. their area-effect, while larger as well, is nowhere near that of Grenadiers or Siege Tanks when trying to determine why exactly the Shotgunner is so superior to the regular Light Infantry, it has to do with their method of dealing damage. they don't actually have higher DPS than Riflemen with that small exception of more oomph against light armor. it's just that they deal their damage sooner, meaning they're more likely to eliminate threats sooner. Riflemen might need another shot or two Trikes' rapid fire attack works because it has the speed to compensate. it gets on top of stuff, eats it, and can leave just as quickly. since infantry are slower and tend to be stuck in the fight, a bursty damage model lends itself very well to the weakest infantry unit the Shotgunner becomes the player's standard infantry on S03V1 and on. both they and Grenadiers can be compared on this mission, and I'll link you to this vid from Felix where the action starts if you want to check it out for yourself, Summers' Solstice is in any regular d2k install with gruntmods or dunemaster nowadays... although I did do a small mostly-cosmetic update to backport a bunch of features Klofkac added for this campaign after its completion, including a new spirteset for the Shotgunners. more details about that are in... this post here ^^ hope that helps

Didn't find any time yet. In order to check it out. Too busy with RL, work and other games 😛 I spotted shotgunner. I like that. Is it going to be a classic short ranged anti infantry unit? Will it deal medium damage to light vehicles by any chance? Is the attack type similar to that of the siege tank and grenadier? In other words, the projectile goes fast and deals similar damage.
