Question about trenches domination 1914 no mans land

[RogerCooper]

@TheDog You can create a support attachment that gives a bonus to the enemy.

@Ramon said:

Is there a mechanic or attachment that allows a 0 attack unit to destroy a 0 defense construction?

The "trench", a 0 defense construction unit, could give the "conscript", a 0 attack unit, a plus 1 attack using support attachments. The problem with this is that the support should be applied only when the "trench" is defending and only the "conscript" is attacking.

	<attachment name="supportAttachment_Trench" attachTo="trench" javaClass="UnitSupportAttachment" type="unitType">
		<option name="faction" value="enemy"/>
		<option name="unitType" value="conscript"/>
		<option name="side" value="defence"/>
		<option name="dice" value="strength"/>
		<option name="bonus" value="1"/>
		<option name="number" value="1"/>
		<option name="bonusType" value="Trench"/>
		<option name="players" value="$All-Players$"/>
	</attachment>

To do this a plus and minus support attachment would have to be created for every attacking/defending land unit to create a counter to the "trench".

	<attachment name="supportAttachment_InfantryAttack" attachTo="infantry" javaClass="UnitSupportAttachment" type="unitType">
		<option name="faction" value="allied"/>
		<option name="unitType" value="conscript"/>
		<option name="side" value="offence"/>
		<option name="dice" value="strength"/>
		<option name="bonus" value="1"/>
		<option name="number" value="-1"/>
		<!-- All positive supports are "Trench" -->
		<option name="bonusType" value="Trench"/>
		<option name="players" value="$All-Players$"/>
	</attachment>
	<attachment name="supportAttachment_InfantryAttackDebuf" attachTo="infantry" javaClass="UnitSupportAttachment" type="unitType">
		<option name="faction" value="allied"/>
		<option name="unitType" value="conscript"/>
		<option name="side" value="offence"/>
		<option name="dice" value="strength"/>
		<option name="bonus" value="-1"/>
		<option name="number" value="-1"/>
		<!-- All negative supports are "Debuf" -->
		<option name="bonusType" value="Debuf"/>
		<option name="players" value="$All-Players$"/>
	</attachment>
	<attachment name="supportAttachment_InfantryDefend" attachTo="infantry" javaClass="UnitSupportAttachment" type="unitType">
		<option name="faction" value="enemy"/>
		<option name="unitType" value="conscript"/>
		<option name="side" value="defence"/>
		<option name="dice" value="strength"/>
		<option name="bonus" value="1"/>
		<option name="number" value="-1"/>
		<!-- All positive supports are "Trench" -->
		<option name="bonusType" value="Trench"/>
		<option name="players" value="$All-Players$"/>
	</attachment>
	<attachment name="supportAttachment_InfantryDefendDebuf" attachTo="infantry" javaClass="UnitSupportAttachment" type="unitType">
		<option name="faction" value="enemy"/>
		<option name="unitType" value="conscript"/>
		<option name="side" value="defence"/>
		<option name="dice" value="strength"/>
		<option name="bonus" value="-1"/>
		<option name="number" value="-1"/>
		<!-- All negative supports are "Debuf" -->

It can get slightly complicated.

Hi WC!

Thanks a lot for your time and effort!

If i understand correctly you can basically give conscripts 1 attack, and make every unit (except trenches) debuff them with 1?

I have 2 more questions:

-can i make tech dice basically hit every time (so they hit at 1 or higher, basically you pay 20 ipcs for guarenteed tech unlock)
-for a unit such as a marine can i give it +1 amphibious attack?

~Ramon

[Ramon]

found the marine!

<option name="isMarine" value="true"/>

sometimes it can be so easy

Hi

The answer is yes but I can't find an example at the moment. Roger, The Dog or the Master wc will clue you in most likely

but it has something to do with "rolls" and "chance' if i remember right.

From POS2

so something like that

  <property name="Low Luck for Technology" value="true" editable="true">
     <boolean/>
   </property>

Give the player the number of dice equal to "diceSides".

@Ramon said:

<option name="isMarine" value="true"/>

"isMarine" takes a number value. "isMarine"=true is converter to "isMarine"=1. "isMarine" can also be set to negative values.

Yea.. but upon further testing, because both units are 0, the buff was not applied, so I'm still working on this.
