A few more random questions

Post by FroBodine »

1. I have just completed the first campaign mission, so I'm barely into the game. Do you only ever inflict a single point of damage per attack throughout the whole game? I hope not.

2. My sound effects were problematic. Some attacks they were regular volume, but most of the time I could barely hear them, or they were completely silent. Is this a known bug?

3. Are only certain units able to go into overwatch? In campaign mission one of the first campaign, only my crossbowmen could go into overwatch. And, only if they did not attack. Is that right? Can melee units use overwatch? If so, I never had the overwatch command available.

4. I wish you could move the map during the enemy turn. Very rarely, you can get in a small move command, but generally the map movement WASD keys don't work during the enemy turn. This makes it difficult to see the action, as the camera rarely centers on the combat. I hope this can get fixed.

Hi zak! My sound settings are all set fine. This is a bug for some reason, and I'm not sure why. I never have sound problems in any game, ever.

I'm still hoping my other questions can be answered, too.

No, this is your settings only or attack type, you can do a kill shot in one go if you do it right, on any level but certain units types

2. My sound effects were problematic. Some attacks they were regular volume, but most of the time I could barely hear them, or they were completely silent. Is this a known bug?

check the settings, sounds can be ok, to loud if you alter the scale / slider

3. Are only certain units able to go into overwatch? In campaign mission one of the first campaign, only my crossbowmen could go into overwatch. And, only if they did not attack. Is that right? Can melee units use overwatch? If so, I never had the overwatch command available.

over watch is a range ability, as it not only requires distance for the hit but also scout to see ie range v's eyes, it's no good having a unit with 2 hex vision, but only 1 hex attack in over watch, as he would see but if melee only unit couldn't do anything about it :roll: :wink:

4. I wish you could move the map during the enemy turn. Very rarely, you can get in a small move command, but generally the map movement WASD keys don't work during the enemy turn. This makes it difficult to see the action, as the camera rarely centers on the combat. I hope this can get fixed.

zoom out and then you will see it all, if you have used max zoom in, then sometimes you don't

please remember my replies maybe either right or wrong as they are only my own guesses / opinions, as i'm no expert in the game by a long way :twisted:

hopefully a developer or site staff maybe able to help out more or give better or more correct replies, as i was in the process of doing this one as you gave you're second one :wink:

and has been edited 3 times now as my spelling and typing is rubbish this early in the morning

1) You always inflict for one attack max 1 damage, however your units can attack more than once in a turn depending ion their abilities and experience level of the unit.

2) You need to zoom in more to hear the sound effects. This is how it is supposed to work

3) Ranged units generally can use overwatch.

Thank you both. I think that is kind of silly to reduce the sound effects that much when zoomed out a little bit. I want to be zoomed out so I can see more of the map. To have to zoom in every attack just to hear the spell and combat sounds is a big nuisance. At least don't reduce the sounds that much. I am not even zoomed out very far, and I can barely hear the sounds.

The majority of attacks will cause 1 damage, but there are also some special abilities, such as Trample, that can kill a unit outright.
