Is CM dying?

[Steiner14]

Oh, to continue my rant, just another awful experience from the past came to mind: fortifications and bunkers.

For almost three days I had developed and set up a brilliant defense on a huge mountain in CMFI (Ramparts of the Palikoi). I checked LOS like crazy. The best setup I had ever built. Then I hit go and when I received my turn, all the bunkers had sunken into the slopes and were blind!

Every bunker or trench on a slope can be identified from the opponent because it creates an imprint in the terrain. Since this experience I avoid any battles with heavy fortifications on slopes.

This happened with engine version v2.0. Now we are at v3.0 and this problem still has not been solved. In CMx1 we heard, things were so difficult to develop, because of the engine. With the new engine things would become much, much better. Well, there is the new engine and they again can't fix very important things. And don't tell me, that nobody could forsee, that trenches and bunkers would be needed in CMx2 and that they should be under FOW...
