i still like to have my Engine with thick armor anywhere.

what i want is an attila with jump ports.

I would avoid getting a fourth jock so early on. I prefer having the Leader rise up a few ranks first for the extra recruit stat bonus

<t> Stats are tied with the name so whenever you come up with a name that generates good stats, remember it and use that name to suit a job position. first three generated are given bonus for leader, manager them mechanic. For the leader you want someone with decent Intelligence and relatively high ...

I would really recommend that you be nice to yourself and fight your first 5 missions on a non-Core map. Seriously.

Nice to know more ToS:WS players are playing hard core.

<t> In campaigns, you make a squad. The status of the squad is saved after a mission. That includes damage taken, experience and dead jocks. Damage can be repaired at the factory module of the game, it costs the squad money. Experience points is converted to development points which can be used to ...

<t> There are no true turns in ToS, because it does not follow an IGOUGO system. control is given to a player when a player has a Titan-AT that is ready to go and is awaiting orders. When all of a player's Titan-ATs are currently executing orders, they will not be called until one of his Titan-ATs ...

My only complaint about the titan graphics is that all of the chassis have arms yet not all of the graphics show titans having arms. I've been trying to draw in some arms on the titans that don't but it's quite difficult to draw convincing arms in that small scale.

Will it also do that if there's no enemy in its LoS?

nope, it's not that. I've had AT's being beat up until the only part left is the Head. it went something like losing the arms first, then the side torsos, then the legs, the LoT, the CBT, and finally the CT, which was housing the engine, and didn't explode. the head was in red, too.

<r> most of them are just the initials of the weapons.<br/>

there's no NMH, as far as i know.<br/>

I must've been facing unusually ruthless opponents, then. It might be the version I'm playing, though.

what? they settle for disabled on your squad? The AI I face doesn't stop until the titan's destroyed or the jock is ejected or dead. must be rank related...

It seems to me that these AI lock ups go away in higher ranks

Like frog mentioned there is a smallish chance for an enemy jock to be a rank or 2! (very rare) higher or lower then the selected rank ...

That's a normal occurence, isn't it? Jocks with high constitution stand a chance at surviving those situations.

<t> There's a slight chance for jock rank deviation so that's normal to have jocks at higher or lower ranks that you set. I dunno about the averaging though.<br/>

It's unlikely that your enemy had overheated, especially in a polar map. Maybe he doesn't have lock, or couldn't decide which ...
