Mixed Questions
-
@Schulz Not sure what you mean?
-
There are normal units and double HP units. I'v asked if there would be any way making an unit with a hp between them by altering dices or somethings.

This is already possible in some fashion. Depending on specifically what you are looking for.

In a set up that player is unable to pick his casualties while some units have lower chances to get hit representing thier higher HP. They have still the same HP but harder to kill because they require more specific dice numbers to die.
-
@Schulz Couldn't you just have units with multiple HP and use random AA casualties to simulate some units being harder to kill?
-
@redrum Would be actually good to know (and document in pos2) how random AA casualties behave with multiple hitpoints units (when damageable is true, of course). For example, if I have 5 hits and 5 or more 2+ HP units, is there a chance that 2 hits will be assigned to a same unit? Substantially, is the randomization by hitpoint or by unit (meaning, will a unit with X hitpoints have X times the chance of being hit than a unit with 1 hitpoint?)?
My guess is that it randomizes by unit (but I haven't tested it). If so, I don't think that would work very well, unless there is still a chance of a same unit getting multiple hits even if the number of hits are equal or less the number of units, that would maybe be the best behaviour, as it may be argued a unit should not be hit more if it has more hitpoints, I suppose (not sure).
-
@Cernel Yeah, I actually don't know how the randomization works and would have to look at the code or test it. I don't think any maps have really used it extensively yet.
-
@redrum However it does work, I tend to think it is not intended. I think that randomization was intended only for when (once upon a time) the AA attacks were ignoring hitpoints, thus killing everything with one shot each (a behaviour that is still the default, but can be opted out with the "damageableAA" option). So, if I'm right, it would be just a matter of seeing how it "happens" to work. Of course, maybe only veqryn could actually say if anything is intended or not (I cannot be sure).
-
Do these AA attachments perfectly work in land and sea battles?
-
@Schulz They work neither better nor worse that they do against air units. Targeting all air units only is merely the behaviour you get when you don't specify any targets (just a legacy item, likely).
If you want to knock yourself out:

I doubt it would make better combats. Expensive units are already mostly redundant and this property would make them even worse since they could get hit too before sacrificing cannon fodders. But the on the other hand battles would force people to adopt more different situations plus no cheesy boring attaks like 2 inf+1 fighter anymore.

Is there any way making unable to build factory on original enemy territories and being unable to produce units in captured factories with just only modifing XML?
It is probably something to do with <option name="special" value="canOnlyPlaceInOriginalTerritories"/> -
@Schulz "unitPlacementRestrictions" should work but you'll probably have to make player specific units
-
Is there any way to separate production lines as percentages without adding new type of resources?
For example x nation has 50 PUs but coded to spend 30% to land (15), 30% air (15) and 40% naval (20) units.
-
Can the current engine handle having 33 nations proplerly? (Only 2-4 selectable combatants, some of them aren't even present in the set up)
-
I have 18 on my current map, and besides my coding errors, it has worked fine. My guess is that it would work fine. i see another one with 26.

@Schulz
Frostions Warcraft Heroes has ~36? different players, 8 main and the rest are in the background so it should probably be ok in your case as well. -
I have issues to launch Warcraft thinking is has something to do with the heavy game.
