I seriously didn't think I was gonna get that protectorate - I used the card to encourage my FA director to train their diplomacy. It was something like 10-15% chance of success (although those odds might not account for 6th Sense).

Don't you dare utter the name of the Great Enemy. The ancestors of White Castle have fought the Spawn of Ronald in the Great Drive-thru Wars. The land still bears scars.

3k dead this season. The current best-selling single in White Castle is The Verve - The Tanks Don't Work.
Maybe the upscaled AT guns will do something. Anything. Just get them developed already, you stupid model designer.

I wonder if the intelligent aliens are similarly much better than the stats would suggest, given their 4 attacks.

Yeah, they'll be pretty tough. The ones I see have hard-target cavalry too.

They are. Looking at them, they seem very Quad-MG-like. I'm inclined to think their infantry will be stronger than their cavalry.

Btw, are there any player units with more than one attack? I don't think I've seen one. But then again, I wasn't looking before. Those quad mgs, maybe?

Quad MGs have 4 attacks. The other notable category is artillery type units, which gain more attacks instead of just increasing soft attack with more firepower. Nukes do like 1000 attacks or something like that.

Interesting. That explains the discrepancy between the attack numbers shown in model overview and in the detailed unit description. I thought that was a bug, but it's just the individual attack scores multiplied.

That applies to all artillery, BTW. Rocket launchers, missile launchers, mechanized, etc.

Walkers get multiple attacks, too. 2x for player-designed ones and 4x for GR ones. Heavies only get one, though.

Two units typically get two attacks...

New beta patch - do we want to update? Looks like the main things for in-progress games is further nerfing of trader buying behaviors and nerfing max armor on light tanks.

You should totally implement the "Cripple Il Palazzo more" patch!
