In-Reply-To: <546DAF34-B039-11D8-8E97-0003934474B0@mac.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-SW-Source: 2004/txt/msg00429.txt.bz2 I have not specifically tried the case you're talking about, but a couple thoughts: First of all, the tutorial probably *does* lie. So does most of the rest of the documentation. I've written things that the documentation said would work, and had them not work, quite often. You have to solve these things by experiment, and preferably report it so the documentation and/or code can be fixed. On your specific problem, I imagine that it's probably a zone of control issue. I've faced something similar in one of my projects. Units exert a zone of control that by default covers their entire hex, and units from enemy sides cannot enter that zone without attacking and defeating the controlling unit. Look up zone of control (ZOC) in the manual, and try changing the zoc-range table to -1 for rubble piles versus all units. -- Matthew Skala mskala@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca Embrace and defend. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/
