Placing large numbers of mines
« on: November 11, 2012, 10:33:28 am »

Is there any easy way to set up patterns for mines  (standard, area, emp etc)

In particular, is there a nice way to set up a line between wormholes, without requiring each to be placed manually?

thanks

Kahuna goes through a good discussion of mines http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,11937.msg128188.html#msg128188.

Specifically:
I strongly recommend unlocking Area Minefields when wave sizes are close to ~1000 ships. Use the line placing to line place them between the hostile wormholes and the command station. (Alt+Right click on the background-->line placing-->enable packed line. make a line by first clicking on point A then B. Then hold shift and start placing)
