Title: Can't build Outpost on munitions point on Leningrad
Post by: Daereon on November 14, 2010, 06:24:22 PM
Dear devs,

I played a 3v3 with 2 friends vs CPU just now, on the map Leningrad. We were all Soviet, I started on position one.

When I took over the munitions point next to my base (the one close to the water with crates of ammo surrounding it), I found out I couldn't build a Soviet Outpost on it. Seeing as my mates were both Soviet as well, we couldn't check if it were possible to build an American Outpost on it. Could this be because the point is a little bit too close to the water, because it sure looked that way to me.

Also, halfway through the game we all suddenly received no munitions income what so ever. We only started getting munitions again when we captured all 3 munitionpoints on the map, and still we only received a munitions income of +3.

Sincerely yours,
Daereon

Other maps have the same problem, seems some of the nearby objects are too close .  The Russian outpost is quite a bit larger than the American and German versions.

Its because the Soviet outpost is such a large building you need alot of free room around the resource point to be able to fit it.

I Hate maps with rubble. No quick flank attacks and too little undamaged buildings. They look the same before and after battle.

Does the Russian outpost need to be that size?  Is it only because it can be garrisoned?  Could it be reduced a little and still have the same function?

My guess would be that in the future they might get a custom Soviet Outpost building ingame, right now its a borrowed 17pounder emplacement without a gun.
But theres no telling on when or if thats gonna happen, wait n see.

Maybe the bofors emplacement would be a better size.  But I cant imagine this issue would be any kind of priority with all the other work these guys are doing from patching to Ostheer.
