3 questions

Hello Keepitloki

For the 1st question.. for some reason it's tough to make one building 'taller' than it's neighbors.. I've had some success by first adding a 'hill' to the hex, then planting a building on top.. you have to play with it a little as it seems that buildings can't be constructed on a slope without flattening any 'hills' next to them.. so if you need a cluster of buildings - make a plateau, but only put the buildings in the center and not on a hex next to a slope..

As it is, buildings are seen as a level above the surrounding terrain

Not too fuzzy an explanation I hope..

For the 3rd question..

There is a way to selectively fire any weapon that an infantry unit has w/o needing to 'assault' the target.. works for vehicles also..

first, select your unit, and it's target (using the targeting button function - or hit the 'T' key). When you hit the button (or the 'T' key), the closest enemy unit in LOS is targeted.. if it's the wrong target, then hit the 'next' button ('N' key) until you have the correct target..

Once you have your target, hit the 'W' key on the keyboard (there is no button for this function). A window will appear and it will list the unit's available weapons, listed in numberical order (1,2,3,4). The weapon number correlates to which weapon is in the unit's weapon slots along with the number of 'shots' and ammo type available for each weapon.

For instance:
1: K98 Rifle
2: Mg42 LMG
3: Handgrenade
4: Pzfaust

If you need your infantry attack an armored vehicle using only the Pzfaust.. hit number 4 on the keyboard and only the Pzfaust will direct fire at the target.. the squad will not assault the vehicle..

Using the 'W' key function, you can select any single weapon to fire any time you choose.. provided the target is within range of that weapon..

Again:
1) select your target
2) hit the 'w' key
3) hit the weapon number key that you wish to fire
-repeat as needed until you - kill the target, run out of shots or ammo

A nice thing about this, is that let's say your squad missed all of it's available Pzfaust shots, but still has more Pzfaust ammo.. now you can try and assault the target by using the mouse to shoot with.. often, because you have been shooting at the target already, the chance of a successful assault increases greatly and the target is killed..

This 'w' key function works really well when you are to playing an assault/defend game.. very useful when you get to the back-side of a fortification and don't want to assault it..

try it, it will make sense in a short period of time..
