I put bombard(? the one that gives collateral) on a few of my tanks but when they attack they don't hurt any of the other units in the defending stack.

Did I miss something?

well... bombard? That takes down city cultural defense. Do you mean barrage? I think the 3.17 patch took away collateral damage from tanks.

I think the 3.17 patch took away collateral damage from tanks.

Yes it did. There was some debate over Solver's unofficial patch whether it was meant to be removed altogether, or whether they broke the calculation accidentally. Solver's patch fixes the calculation but removes the ability to give tanks barrage promotions. But then you can re-enable it in the XML if you want and it will work. I think if you get the version with the installer from the unofficial patch forum, it even asks you when you install if you want tanks to have barrage promotions or not.

Yep. Apparently the Barrage promotion exists, but does nothing for tanks in 3.17. Another broken patch, suprise, surprise. Supposedly the unofficial patch fixes this. Or if it bothers you and you're not a fan of official patches, play with an earlier version. I prefer 3.02 myself.

Do you know if the installer works with a Direct-2-Drive version of BTS?

I really want to be able to turn off espionage, but I want my barrage tanks!

Sorry, don't know. If you post in the unofficial patch forum, the guy who made the installer might be able to tell you.


Edit:
The guy who made the installer was Grumbler :goodjob:
He definitely included an option to enable Barrage tanks.
Less good news on the D2D front - the only comment I could find concerning downloaded versions was when he said he didn't know if it worked with Steam and hoped someone would try it for him.

thnx brosef

Wow... this reeks of EA games quality.

So, whats the easiest way to fix this? Because I want to play mods and all that

Dont give barrage to tanks?
Use the unofficial patch?
Play an earlier version?

Why do you prefer 3.02 anyway?

Use the Unofficial v3.17 patch for BtS... it allows collateral damage for tanks to actually do damage again.
