Invasion and redeploy troops?

Sometimes I see the strange situation (and this just happened on my last turn): I successfully invaded the planet, and all my troops are on the surface :), but I cannot take it back, because right in the following turn my invading fleet is orbiting totally different planet! So I need to tell them &q...

Not fleeing "fleeing" troops

Now and again I see strange situation with my harmless explorer scouts. 1. I am entering hostile system with the enemy troops. I am receiving "You was attacked", and I am selecting "Flee", of course. I have no weapons anyway. 2. Right after that I receive message about "You ...

Missing invasion

Well, after long preparations, I started full scale war with the Tantik. And here is one strange problem arisen: I have two invasion fleets in totaly subdued Tantik system. I ordered smaller one to invade Hraztav I, while second must secure Hraztav IV. During that, two strange things happened. 1. On...

Wrong attributed hostility - again?!

Gargals turned hostile against me after being friendly, all at once. Oh?! Strange. Ok, let it be. Weirdos. %| But now, ten (or so) turns later they blamed me in hostility against them! I believe, there was the same problem some time ago, when hostile action was attributed to me, stacked long ago and...

Re: Invisibility concerns

Ships with Cloaking device (see tech) have invisibility rates based on technology level. It's never 100%. If for example it's 98% (at level 10), that means every time the ship moves within some hostile units scan range they have a small chance to be detected at close range. Yes, I got it from the d...

Re: Where are my troops?! %)

When re-colonized, if there is surviving barracks it will immediately start training new soldiers and I think this is what you are noticing. See in your games if there is barracks when you notice it next time. There are barracks here, of course. I never seen soldiers on the planet _without_ barrack...

Re: My Suggestions

As for effectiveness of missiles it's something I'll pay closer attention in my late games if they are underwhelming, not to say that we want every weapon to have the same effectiveness at every stage/every combination of defense. Well, I have nothing against specific uses of weapons. But missiles ...

Invisibility concerns

During my battles there are many enemy ships that have cloaking devices. And regardless of proclaimed "invisibility", I always see all enemy ships in transparent form. Making them quite easy target, actually: fodder scout destroys invisibility bonus, and then bigger ships simply destroys a...

Re: My Suggestions

This isn't easily doable in Horizon in it's current format, the starbase assets don't support it. Tsk. Too bad. Is it hard to implement? I imagined that it not required any changes in the base - it's supposed to be symmetrical, no? So after 90 degrees turn it will be exactly the same station - only...

Re: Where are my troops?! %)

Normal way is only if you land troops or build barracks. Aha, exactly what I thought. Looks like the bug then. :) May be if colony with troops was abandoned and then re-colonized this is also possible. Well, I seen it quite often... Too bad that in the current game there is almost no non-colonized ...

Will it be transferred to me, or retain old owner? For other ships there is a chance based on Marine Strength...

"Unknown" known planets

If I am colonizing planet, it immediately became surveyed. It's ok. But if I am receiving enemy planet (right now it is possible only with demanding system, but I see no obstacles to implement it with single planet too) - this planet remains non-surveyed, regardless of having defenses, orbital stati...

Re: My Suggestions

They do get the highest level available weapons/missiles. Starbases are bigger than motherships but we wanted moterships to be just as powerful (or more) when fully equipped. If we had different Starbase levels, I see this being the case. Actually, there are two Achilesses heels with starbases in m...

Why cannot I capture the ships?

After some time in game my boarders stopped to capture anyone. Or rather, they successfully capturing anyone - but ship always goes to self-destruct after that. I experienced it with two races already, and all sorts of the ships. Why it's so? Is it some race option, or technology? And how can I prev...
