i think gla should have power plants cos they build to slow cos they havent any power

the gla build times are comperable to the US and China sides.
All buildings of similer types for all sides build same speed i beleave and power does not effect gla building times as they have never needed them.
To be honest gla can build faster than the others as they don't need to waste time on power.

[PeeWee]

they build slow because they're building as a guy with a hammer. (though that seems to be changed at least for the advanced gla worker)

these little guys are cheap and can be made in larger numbers than other builders, meaning more buildings built at a time

[Capt.Drake]

That's not possible in the Sage engine^^

[Phoenix911]

Can U make GLA worker can work together to build something?
More worker = more fast the building time needed

the gla workers build at the same speed as the others if not faster already as they do not need to wprryed about power and there workers cheeper to produce.

well, not GLA specific, I also wish it was possible to place multiple dozers on a build task. It would be very cool, but alas is not to be...

[Blue Phoenix]

What about instead of an advanced dozer for gla, an worker squad? could be pretty cool.

[PeeWee]

that would be cool... *starts building with squad, makes squad go elsewhere and finishes building with demo jarmen*

that too has its problems and won't work. When dealing with any mob unit you actualy selct and control a "Nexus". The mob mebers will be highlighted, but they are not actualy selected. the mob nexus is invisble and gets its health from the agrogated healths of all its child objects, but its still a seperate object. If you have a worker mob you'd actualy be giving the build orders to the nexus and not the child objects. So your worker animations and conditions would not be passed down to the child objects. So, sure a worker mob can be built, and build buildings, but you'll never see the workers doing anything. They'll just stand around while the invisible nexus builds everything, and that part kind of sucks.

we are all a little bit noob. anyways, its not possible to make buildings only buildable with 1 unit, is it? meaning; advanced dozer starts building and moves away, normal dozer takes over and builds it.

[Pendaelose]

no, its not possible.

But that bug doesn't bother me at all. I don't care what dozer a player uses to finish the building. A smart player will still have several adv dozers around. they repair twice as quickly and have tank armor instead of dozer armor.

[PeeWee]

will jarmen still be able to build?

[Pendaelose]

will jarmen still be able to build?

probably not... I don't think he's a very apropriate builder unit. I know WHY he could build, so he could place traps, but theres other ways to do that, such as an ability that places traps for free.

[PeeWee]

like the GLA Demo command truck in Contra?

[Pendaelose]

hmmm.... lets put it this way... units that should be able to build, such as dozers and advanced dozers, and some engeneer units, will be able to finish buildings. I don't want to leave any combat units building things.
