Few Questions...

<div class="IPBDescription">about sieges and mines.</div> I've been a grunt for a long time, ever since the first release of the mod but just now i'm starting to get better at comming. Yesterday I played a serie of games and in almost EVERY game nobody wanted to go comm. So I hopped in instead.

Anyway, my questions:
1) How exactly do you know wether a siegecannon has, for example a hive in range? There is no rangecircle until you actually build it... and then its too late.

2) Do mines damage your buildings/marines when they go off in your base, even when ff is not on?

    1) its true, u wont know until u build it. It takes a while, but u'll get the 'feel' for thr range of siege eventually (took me a while to remember that in 1.04 u cant siege feedwater hive from furnace!)

    2) yep mines will damage marines and buildings regardless of ff (sp spamming an inf portal with mines isnt too good an idea - instead build an inf next to an electrified TF)

    Thanks there, was just sick of comms dropping a TF early in base and spamming 5+ turrets up, draining the resources to near 0 making a nice regular turtle game for marines... So since mines cant be used instead i'd guess just put a well placed TF up with 2-3 turrets or just have a trusty marine guard your base with a shotty :-/.

    Ah well just rambling, thanks again for answering <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Really silly question. Do seiges shoot through walls?

    *chuckle*

    Yes, sieges do shoot through walls. That's what they're designed for <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
