Another bug fix required CA

So when u tell ure light inf to deploy stakes and they do so, ud think u would not be able to repeat that ability yeh? wrong...

There is a 1/2 second window from when ure light inf deploy the stakes in the ground and stand upright... if u time it right and give them an order to move during this period, they will still have a fresh stake icon and can lay multiple lines of them.

Rinse and repeat

GG ca, gg wp

A friend of mine looked into this a bit more and it seems u can deploy as many stakes in relation to how many units of light u have...

One light inf can post the stakes of 7 if u get what i mean * As long as u have that many lights*. Not as bad as i thought but still, it shouldnt be about and im sure there are quite a few circumstances where this can be abused.

yeh, not as bad as we first thought

Here's a screenshot for whatever reason that might be needed

So if you try to place a stake with another unit after you've placed all with the first one the stakes will just vannish....magic :O

And I thought it was bad that they carried these massive things around with them in skirmish mode. Now they collectively have a lumber yard with them.

yeh this happens if you move you unit before the animation when the stakes changes their angel(can't miss it)

lol i did this exploit to Milt and Rom last night (my clanmates), I kept asking them if there was something wrong with what I was doing, and Rom replied "Ya your howitzers are too accurate"

By the end of the game I had one ridiculous line lol...

Field defenses were a part of the 18th Century, but these spikes are quite fanciful. Id prefer if there was some gathering that had to be done first - 1. put unit in woods, click 'cut stakes', 2. move unit to position (unit cannot run with stakes), 3. place stakes.

Anyway, this is just another one of those wiz-bang type features I think CA feels they must include to keep the attention of the more casual non-realism folks. Which is fine I guess. Frankly, the stakes arent nearly as annoying as the magic mortars.

And finally on topic, I dont think whats been discovered here will change MP much - its still far more efficient to use all your light inf. to deploy stakes than to have one unit running around like a worker bee.
