Well, interesting results in some cases thus far, but none delivered the desired effect despite some humerous outcomes. Will try more tomorrow and post the results for each when done. Some of these special cases may be useful to people when modding other units. As a taster, the phrase "Death-Hand Missile Ready" was audible in one case! .............(But not usable :( ) And a "Jump-Jet Saboteur" from another. :) Just a thought, I've performed a basic search of the site and it does not appear to be any complete listing of the special cases in D2K. Does anyone know of such a list before I trawl through all "X" of them, documenting each individual case? If not, then I'll post it as a seperate detailed topic with a link herein. PS: I do have a full time job, but no social life (worth mentioning)

Me getting mixed up there, sorry :)

Unless I'm reading it wrong and that is etirely possible, z_z, but the rules.txt already has the saboteur linked to ORBarracks and yet he comes from the palace. Anyone any ideas or is sleep dep just throwing my logic out?! "PrimaryBuilding = ORBarracks UnitGroup = FromBarracks" Which are the same values as all of the other Ordos troops. DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr, if this was your point in the firt place, sorry for repeating :)

And since games companies are facing declining sales, they will cut back on the number of games they produce and focus only on those genres that are likely to bring in the greatest profits - which basically means shooters and RPGs. Making RTS games is becoming too risky in a world where fewer and fewer people are buying games. That's my guess. I would have to agree here, so many times I pass through a town on the launch night of a new game and see the masses of people all waiting for midnight to buy their next "fix". However the saving grace, in my opinion, is that most of these people will play this incarnation of their favourite title for a year, two at the most, and then the next incarnation is released and its predecessor forgotten. I doubt any of these more "mainstream" games will be played by the same numeric of people in X years as C&C and Dune still see, not to mention the (much appreciated :) ) efforts of people who are still mapping, modding and upgrading these classic titles. So really two points: > Companies are sticking to what sells the most > RTS gamers are sticking to, and continually improving, what plays the best Disclaimer: Just my opinion! :)
