UFC Addict Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 You sure this works. I do not know how to test it, but I think I am seeing that it works 360 degrees no matter which direction you have it facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushuki Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I am pretty sure it works, but keep in mind that it only applies to defense bonus, not to entrenchment. So if a unit receives entrenchment from a trench it will still be more difficult to kill him than if he would be standing in the same type of square without a trench.

Hubert Cater Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 You know I have to admit that with the recent changes regarding trenches I wanted to do a double check and I did find one issue and perhaps this is the one you've noticed. Trenches on resources do provide maximum defensive bonuses regardless of facing and this is now corrected on my end... but it should be fine in all other cases. One other thing I noticed with this is that the defensive bonus information is not showing up properly for the estimated combat odds display and I've corrected this as well.

U8led Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Is there any advantage at all to building a 1 sided trench? It seems to me the 2 sided is better even if it is overkill sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'd say it is more probably for aesthetic reasons to use a 1 sided trench, i.e. depending on how you would like the trench lines to flow but since most players just automatically go to 2 sided trenches it has been suggested that this become the default and we have changed it to this for the first patch.

Omegaman1 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Forgive me if this is in the manual somewhere, but I assume fortress squares have trench lines on all sides? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yes, I believe all the fortresses in game have trench lines on all sides. There are alternate fortress tiles that can be modded that do not have trench lines on all sides but I don't think these are used in the default campaigns.

lettowvorbeck Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 The fort complex NW of Warsaw doesn't have the trench line on all sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
