(1.9.2)Being fire upon does not actually release "Hold Position"

Post by zgrssd »

The tooltip of Hold Position says "Holds position until engaged by an enemy".

However, being fired upon does not actually realease Hold Position. Instead it seems to be based on getting a target into firing range, but only sometimes?

Apparently, currently hold position breaks if the system cycles through Overwatch shots (wheter the unit shoots or not).

That Tau Stealth Battlesuit just left the city, walked straight into that position and attacked my Autarch.

Not a single unit has left "hold position". Including the Autarch, who just was fired upon and lost 3 of his 14 HP!

Its because XV25 Stealth Battlesuits has (Infiltrate) trait which prevents the unit from being targeted by overwatch attacks. So your units wont break their hold position stance unless they're attacked by a unit that doesn't have infiltrate as a trait .

Did this only happened with this particular unit or with all units?

Not triggering overwatch is one thing. It is fair. It is what the ability does by dscription and in the game balance.
Also:
- not breaking hold position
- Not even breaking hold position when actively being shot at
- meaning with a large map potentially loosing units because I am not even aware there is fighting?
That is the bug. That is the part that needs fixing.

And it should be easily fixable. Just wake everyone up that has a enemy within firing range at the start of turn. Problem solved.
