Is this dying? will it dream, Dave?

I agree

Losing is FUN, and you certainly had lots of that!

Updated the map.

It's so we actually have stuff to do in the game. We could find out from a captured officer where the prisoners are kept and attempt a rescue. Also sending 200 marines to attack a fortified compound defended by ~400 terrorists is never a good idea. They're more of a sacrifice so the elite (us) can move in. Also you need to choose a color that's not already on the map, copy the map into a drawing program and re-submit the map with your landing position marked in your color. I'm red, my RL friend is orange, now you need to choose a color for your team, also a name


NINJA'd Rolep. Yes. yes they did. To enable a more effective force to follow up when they're repairing. The drop pods are going to cause major damage to the compound, and we strike when they are not prepared. The marines eliminated ~100 terrorists before they were killed or captured. Adds another objective to the game to save captured friendlies.

E: GUNIN, we get to choose where abouts at the edge of the map we start. 5 kilometers is roughly where me and my RL friend dropped


E#2: also, the compound has been scaled up on that map so we can see the basic defense system

YOU CANNOT DROP ON TOP OF STUFF. you drop into the forest, camp (no fires) for two days (skipped time for game purposes) and then move in. you land at the same time as the marines so that the terrorists don't know you're there. If another sixty-odd troops dropped two days later, the terrorists would know that another wave is coming, but if you drop with the marines, and then the marines are slaughtered, then the terrorists have no idea that another sixty-odd troops are hiding in the forest, waiting until they're rebuilding to strike.

I think it's just my playing style. Plus a bugged game where:
a)Animals never enter the map. EVER. Except with dfhack forcing them, and they only appear underground.
b)Migrant waves will only ever spawn one migrant per wave, even with forcing

It's the game not the save file. I deleted it and havn't played orcs since, being too focused on Wasps. I fixed the issue with a clean install. Errorlog wasn't giving me anything either.

I managed to get a siege by using dfhack. it spawned a single elf archer that decimated my fort.

I am going to play orcs a little bit now. MORE DAKKA. Any suggestions on how to have an interesting game.

Don't even need to;

I want to drop onto the flak tower.

Directly onto it.

If we have drop pods atrong enough to be, well, drop pods, we have drop pods strong enough to smash a flak tower/survive getting hit by a little flak.

It seems I need to re-do the OP. I'm gunna do a backstory as well
