If the "unit" basically represents inanimate equipment, then it often seems natural for the capturing side to be able to use it. If it represents people, then that seems much less natural - prisoners of war don't turn into soldiers for the side that captured them, barring a really good brainwashing technology. Maybe it would be cool to be able to overload wrecking even further with the chance to specify a unit type that the captured unit will turn into - but I think that's another enhancement that doesn't really need to be made right now. On teleportation: one cool way to teleport is to construct a new instance of yourself at a distance, and then be consumed by the hp-to-garrison requirement of creating the new unit. I haven't tried that, but I think it'd work. -- Matthew Skala mskala@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca Embrace and defend. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/
