Technical questions

This would also reduce the space needed for this in the events file.

OK, I tried that too, but it doesn't work!

Anyway, 1 pirate will have to do (and it will reduce my event file too)

ToT question

This is my first (and probably far from last) technical question for ToT!

Can a flying unit move between maps using the transportation sites? (not the Starport)

[AGRICOLA]

Yes. Take a look at the Skaro and Imperial Scouts in curtsibling's Dalek Tyranny.

[curtsibling]

Indeed - The helo-units in that scen can jump maps.

PS
I must do a follow-up scenario with the Daleks this year.

[AGRICOLA]

I didn't realize that the Dalek units are helicopters, so I opened a save from El Aurens, cheated a true aircraft (Recce Flight), and moved it back and forth between maps with no difficulty.

[Cyrion]

Excellent news, thanks my friends!

and no, you won't be seeing flying legions, it's for what I'll start on as soon as Lost Legions is finished!

Tech related messages

Can I modify / suppress the message telling me that "civ X has discovered tech Y"? Where, how? : confused:

Anybody?

[Exile]

Yes you can. It's in the Game.txt file. You'll have to look. May take a few minutes.

[Cyrion]

I had looked in there but couldn't find much for the text which appears when another civ discovers a tech.

But I'll take a look again and see what I can find, thanks!

[EZRhino]

You can. Use ctrl-f to find 'develop' in the labels.txt.

I was under the impression that having over 4 hp (-as in M A D h,f- maximum hp for vanila units) does not work right in the combat phase.Meaning that 5 hp counts exactly like 4 hp. Is that correct?Can someone verify or disprove that?
