ok i still dont understand how this happened.
the old rule was that if your troops leave your colony, gate etc. with 2 ETAs remaining you will not feel the effect of a nuke.
then on the current mars3 i did just that, left at 2 ETAs and my units were hit by the nuke.
then somebody said the new rule is that you have to leave with 3 ETAs remaining.
well here on earth3 a nuke was coming at me when i got online with 2 ETAs left so i sent a delayed movement to my OP at 2 ETAs + 15 deayed.
the nuke hit and i lost 10% of my army there, but this part i dont get...
1 ETA after the nuke hit a squad attack to my colony hit while my troops were on a delayed movement which makes that 3 ETAs from the time i left my colony and my troops got wiped out cause the fact they were all 1 HP.
maybe i dont understand the delayed feature, maybe if i had not put them on a delay my troops would not have got hit by the squads?
any input would be appreciated...
also with the ion cannon, if i had shot down the nuke at 1 ETA would that have saved my workers and troops?
Thanks.

If your troops are on a delay it is like they are still on the OP. Thats why they died. You are correct about leaving 2 ticks prior to the nuke hitting, it won't affect you if you leave 2 ticks prior to it landing.

hey abeyant, can you tell me if the nuke will have the effect if you shoot it down with 1 ETA remaining?
and also on mars3 before this happened to me i left my troops at 2 ETAs but was still hit by the nuke, the only thing is that it may have been on a delay also... are you sure the nuke doesnt have an imapct at 2 ETAs.
thanks!

Hi
If you shoot down a nuke 1 tick away it will have no effect whatsoever :)
And yes, any squads that leave 2 ticks before the nuke hits will not be affected.
Is it possible you miscounted the other time? Perhaps a delay or something?
Remember, delays don't mean your squads have left, they are still on the op/colony

Hope that helps

thank you so much for the reply, that was the answer i thought.
i was confused until now...
the time before i think i delayed my squads out also to try to buy more HP.
Thanks again!
