[Question]Starting Unit for new race

[Celution]

Not sure where to put this on the forums, I thought this was the best location.

I got my own new race working with no problems. Starting Bunkers wors, new ebps/sbps etc. etc.

Now I cannot seem to get the starting unit to work. How is this done? I know the USSR has no starting unit, is this the reason that it has none (that you guys don't know it either)?

So how is this done?

They said it in the guide that the Russians will not have a starting unit (they say it is because they were surprised by the German invasion)

[Celution]

I know that the Russians do not have a starting unit, but the guide is also full of sarcasm and jokes, but I was wondering if the reason they have no starting unit was that they also did not manage to get a starting unit working.

But back to topic now, how to make a new starting unit?

well you have a base. From there you can buy a commander unit (only one at a time) and Ingenery there like workers from which to build more base buildings and if you upgrade them to fight with your army

You are not helping me.

You are not helping me.

you start off with a base that build units.

He means the unit that has already been trained and is hanging outside the HQ when the game starts.

And yes, that is another technical hitch we couldn't find a way around.

OK sorry I couldn't help man

[Celution]

Thanks WartyX for clearing that up. Unfortunaltly you guys don't have an answer aswell.

 Yea, well, you could do the same thing Have no starter
 unit. It's a malus that can be compensated for otherwise.
 
 Perhaps make a unique squad that builds ultra fast.
 Call it the border guard, or something. Maybe it cannot
 be re-created once killed, maybe it is only-one at a time,
 but with 0 build time, it's a workaround, until a better
 solution is found.

 I was not certain if the soviet 0 starter unit was due
 to design, or an as-yet unsurmountable technical jinx.

 Now, I know Thank you WartyX

I like that A LOT! maybe just two guys with noism nagats and give them like 5 rounds each in their rifles (if possible) that would solve any problem of Germans just falnking mg's and just taking the base and not letting the Russians build any thing

[Loupblanc]

 Yea!
 Call 'em border guards, or something. (They were sleeping,
 that's why they weren't already out, lol). Make 'em a call
 only once unit (Like King Tiger) and problem solved!

 GRIN!

well dev's? its a good solution

[WartyX]

A good solution, but so far there are no problems of base rushing. Ingenery get built quickly enough to defend any attack, and players like the choice between the instant combat advantage of the Command Squad or the long-term economical advantage of the Ingenery.

 ford_Prefect... tsss...
 Even if my ideas are good, they are bad, if I've said them
 

 Yea, it's a nice workaround.
 But I like any maluses that give the soviets flavor, too
