Engineering and blowing points

Post by maxfra »

Where is it possible to see how many points an engineering unit has got?

Thanks.

Yes it says so. With engineers the engine shows the EP instead of the AP next to the subformations picture.
 
As for blow points (ehum) you can find them in the subformation info window by double clicking on the engineers picture.

Are not Engineering points and blowing points the same ?
Are they cumulative - sum of points of all stacked formation, or then I blow bridge only point of current formation apply? How many point EP or BP I need to blow bridge and road ?
Are they accumulated with time ?
Are they depend only on the number of subunit or readiness too ?
Is random factor apply then blowing bridge ? Constructing ?

EP accumulate with time...
 
the more EP you have the more chance you blow the bridge. 
For normal play you dont need to be concerned with blow points, you just need to know engineers are the only ones that can blow a bridge.
 
And yes accumulation of EP is also dependend on readiness.
 
Formula for engineers doing a blow attempt is Total Blow Points modified for EP availble (if you have one turn modfier is 1, if you have two turns accumulated turn modifier is 2, 3 turns modifiier is 3) versus either 500 or 1000 structural points of the bridge.
 
You can also demolish locations with engineers.
 
good luck!

Are they cumulative - sum of points of all stacked formation - or do I have to have all points in a single unit?
