Both sides have good points, but fact is in war and tactics there are somethings you simply can't control. If a change is made to the system it will be very easily abused.

For example. I come on to find a nuke 2 ticks from my colony "OH NOES!!!" guess I should've been more active. Too late now.

HOWEVER thanks to the new system If implemented I send all my defending army out. The tick then passes.

And I turn them around and they head back to my colony in "returning" status and land the same time as the nuke and avoid all damage.


I dislike the fact it gives sub-abusers another tool. But I think this is just a clever way to force someone into a corner. The game kinda needs this. Since it's far easier to defend than attack.

But if it is changed it won't be the end of Battle Dawn by any means. The game as a whole will stay the same.
I don't think you understand what you're voting for. You are NOT voting for nukes that will strike troops landing with the nuke - the ONLY thing that will change is that ALL troops that are ONE TICK away from the target will be effected.

Which means, if you vote option one the the ONLY thing that will change is:

Troops LEAVING the target on the status 'Returning to Origin'

And if you vote for option two the ONLY thing you will change that:

Troops attacking a target ONE TICK behind the nuke will be effected.

Option 2 :)

as u told me before Andrew.. its legal and smart to take advantage and disadvantage of BD playing system.

i dont find it fair to change this system after 4-5 years of playing it.. only because someone cried about it or that part of the system didnt serve their goals.

i Believe that a nuke can damage all squads at 1 tick radius isnt an easy tactic to do ( for some ) and alot still dont know how it works lol.

I hope topics like this shouldnt be made.. i mean changing the old system that we all got used to. lets talk about adding something new instead ;p


Both options affect squads with 1 tick radius. The difference is Option 2 lets you get hurt by nukes you can't ion because they aren't hitting your outpost/colony.

I think everyone voting for Option 2 doesn't realize what the difference is.



pfff.. i know whats the difference between option 1 and 2...

i also know that WAW ally brought this topic up.. cuz of the nuke launched by UWS and hit BOPE's colony which that lead to damage waw 222 squads.

it dosent matter.. i still think option 2 is the best.. maybe u cant ion the missile but u can still turn ur squads back ;p

"Just turning your squads back" Can turn the tide of the war; the winners of war in Battle Dawn should not be decided by abusive alliances nuking eachother in order to make it impossible to conquer eachother.. Seriously. -.-

I think its stupid to have the nuke hurt the attackers units when they leave from the colony they just attacked. Its like a clean get away that you see in movies all the time when they fly away from a blast lol. Back in the old client i think the nukes blast hit you for up to 2 ticks. No one really liked that to much.

It would also be nice for the nukes to be made in 12 ticks instead of 24 lol. no one likes to sit around waiting a day or day and a half for a few nukes to build while protecting them lol.

Dude. This is more of a BUG than anything, nukes were never intended to damage the offencive side.. I don't understand how allowing this bug (that has now been uncovered) to continue.. I can see MASSIVE amounts of abuse in the future if this is allowed to continue.

If that's the case, why do we have ion cannon at all? If it's easy to just dodge the nuke why have a feature designed to counter them?

If we keep this bug, any time a nuke goes at a colony I'm attacking suddenly I have to turn around, because who knows how long a shield is charged. That's ridiculous.

See You're only looking at one perspective. If my guys are going anywhere, and I turn them around they get the status of "RETURNING TO ORIGIN" and thereby become immune to nukes. Hence easily abused.

Both options have a way to misuse them, however I don't think this was so bad the way it was before. However, it may get much worse now that it's here for everyone to see and try.

It's very possible that we will now start seeing "you nuke me, I nuke you. No nobody can touch us" type defenses. and that would be a problem.

I don't see how this debate matters regarding returning origin, if you're in the target 1 tick before the nuke arrives you get hurt. Otherwise you match ETA with the nuke and don't get hurt. Simple.

The only special case is when the target is a hostile colony and you can't ion the nuke. Perhaps we should add a case where I can ion nukes incoming to colonies conquered by my alliance, therefore I'd be able to take it out as if it was my outpost.

Anything else is purely bad game design.
