And what about Katana? Imo he and marty are a tough 2on2 team, but i dunno if he's active atm.

Katana stopped playing completely.

2.25 Intentional Use of Bugs within the Game

Is the Hellion Succubs Ability "Tracking Device" considerd bug using if used on invis Rangers, which uncover them for about 2 minutes. It seems to be not intentional to detect a infiltrated unit and it's duration should be 20 sec and not 2 min. In addition it is by no means possible to end the effekt. Whether the death of the Hellion succubus nor the death of the marked unit (the one in the squad) ends the effekt... This ability is just buggy as hell!

As far as i know this is supposed to be like that.

o rly?

Can't see it in the wiki. I don't think wiki is all-knowing but i'd like to say it is very close to it ususally. But even if it is a bug, i don't know if it falls under 2.25 or if it is more like a "skillful use of -not really well working- gameplay mechanics".

I'm just asking not to be blamed afterwards - to me it looks like bug abuse.

is the Dais' doom laz0r counted as a bug? as far as i am aware it does not function as intended.

when hellion Ability "Tracking Device" counts as bug, then the archons curse of malediction sure is one too. 3 minute chains wohoo.

It usually only last few seconds not 3 minutes :o
SOmetimes its only working 1 second as well.

Doom laser is not a bug as well as far as i know.

usually is not exactly reality.
scythe does not work like intended. you could call it bug.

Yeah? What's the bug? Are there missing amor pentetration values or what? Sure somethings wrong witha unit that can sneaks into your base to kick your entire gen farm with one click but i thought that is intended

The thing I really wanted to point out is that's a rule like that is widly interpretable in a game that is still in version 1.0 waiting for it's "Hotfix" for over a month. Maybe its better to just list all things the Tournament admins consider bugs, like the SoB thing and so on...

mfg Sjeg

we are currently discussing it intern.

my PERSONAL opinion is, that everything where the player take an active part to use an error in the game is bug abusing

so define error.

is an ability which has a higher duration than the refresh time a bug?

GameData["area_effect"]["weapon_damage"]["armour_damage"]["max_damage"] = 360.000000
GameData["area_effect"]["weapon_damage"]["armour_damage"]["min_damage"] = 300.000000
GameData["area_effect"]["weapon_damage"]["armour_damage"]["min_damage_value"] = 50.000000
GameData["area_effect"]["weapon_damage"]["armour_damage"]["morale_damage"] = 40.000000

GameData["duration_time"] = 9.530000

GameData["recharge_time"] = 90.000000
GameData["refresh_time"] = 2.000000

so it will do 1200-1440 damage

thats for the rgd file

Uh, yeah. Just want to take a moment to apologize for Dark Scythe. I pretty much completely screwed up both the balance and the implementation (the multiple wave thing was an accident, I had the refresh on the ability lower than the duration). Sorry, folks.

edit:
tracking device
GameData["duration_time"] = 120.000000

up to you if thats a typo or intended 120 seconds.
