these are some new Russian tank factories. one of the things I've learned in the last week is that you can add research components to village and campaign buildings. in this case I've added Tank Production tech. this research component can be added to city centers as well
Giz, can you reduce the brightness of the star in the middle of the UI there? Its so bright...
(In my versions, I reduced the symbols brightness by about 25-50% to make it blend in more with the background).
I'll look into that-- might be able to change the color saturation and get similar results.
Would it be possible to build tanks once the city has been captured?
I am also curious: If the player researchers the tech form the factory, and then the factory is captured by an enemy, does the tech still stay active or does it have to be recaptured and researched again?
gotta find out.
the tech bonus is on a first captured first served basis. I discovered last night that if you recruit the tech first and lose the building nobody else gets tech from that building. now I need to find out if this is a universal property for that map OR if the same thing applies to each individual factory.
Well that's not good.
Looking through the templates, I am not seeing anything obvious that can be changed to fix this either.
Maybe we can add it to the building directly? Without the need for a tech?
Something like the Assembly line or Gear-Up properties might be good.
well, there's a silver lining-- if there are multiple buildings of the same type all of the other available buildings are still available to other players. once a player has captured a building and researched a tech-- that tech no longer shows up at the other buildings. so it's still possible for other players to capture another factory and gain the tech from another building of the same type.
