Turn sent onwards to GrumpyMel.
I like the setting and scenario but I am not sure all the research is balanced. I bought agents this turn but they seem too expensive to build and as frontline troops very short-lived. How about giving them more hitpoints and rear-area ability?
And is anybody going to attack a human player sometime????

I sent turn 28 on the 27th, so I guess that's the one. As far as I can see, I haven't received one since then.

I would also be happy to continue the game. My last turn was just the one coming from Casus Belli and continuing to GrumpyMel and have not seen anything since...

I'm getting some kind of bug with hover tanks, or at least it looks like a bug to me. They'r not supposed to expend themselves in attacks, are they? Even when they win, and there should be some left, the tank/s and the unit disappear.
Also, I'm beginning to feel more and more belligerent, and may have to move against someone soon, just to work out my feelings of generalised frustration with modern life. You have been warned [:@]!

A bug but not one I can actualy fix. You are probably attacking from a sea hex. For some reason, the game engine will allow land units to cross sea hex's if you setup thier movement to allow it (what I did with hover units and gunships) but if you try to attack from a sea hex the unit will be destroyed after the attack, regardless of the results. That's probably what's happening with you.
Just avoid attacking with hover units from a sea hex and you should be fine. My only alternative to fix this would be to prevent hover units from moving into sea hexes at all.... but that would really reduce thier utility as units... so I think it's better to let them move across water, but just let the players know not to attack from water hexes

Thanks for the update. As I like the idea of hovercraft units: Have you checked with Vic if this is something he is considering to add in this or the next version?
Best regards

That seems to cover it, alright. There's a city on an island in a lake on Elyasium. I don't seem to be able to paradrop on it, you've addressed the hovercraft issue. I'll have to see how an amphibious attack goes.
