teleport and charm

[Gramphos]

Mendax have found some hidden abilities of the editor, for instance the possiblility of making units teleportable to other units within a range, or to a city with a specific improvement.

There is also a charm flag for bombard units and a charm barrier for improvements, which I have no idea on how it works.

Isn't this equivalent to transport between two airport-equipped cities?

Could charm mean a return to a Civ2 style "bribe unit" command?

jon.

[Gramphos]

charm has something to do with bombarding cities. (Might actually be soemthing that your bombardment increases chances of conversion sor someting like that)

Nah, you can teleport to a unit, and that unit loses one HP. Teleportig to cities can be done, but I don't know of range for that and so on.

And you don't have to stand on a telepad to teleport as far as my test shows.

And a link for the Poly thread posted later

Just make sure you don't have any units in the spot where a conquered civ respawns

Well, the HP is listed as space availible when you try to teleport to a spot with more than one of your telepads on, so it's more a way to indicate how many times the telepad can be used without rest.

Charm, as in propaganda shells?

[Gramphos]

i was playing around with teleporting to teleporters, but how do you order it?

i tried to give infantry teleporter, and tanks teleporting, but i cant figure out how to make them jump to eachother.

is the movement expended? if it is, i WANT THIS NOW.

[Gramphos]

movement is used for teleport. However, I've only tested one movementpoint units.
