Different people learn things in different ways. Somebody finds useful to stick to one thing and doesn't spread attention, other benefits from knowing as many aspects as there can be. But who can say for sure which of them fits him better if didn't try both?..
The moment the lieutenant_spawner (costs 200MP 50FU etc) is complete, it yields the player the lieutenant-dispathched upgrade (to unlock the tier), spawns an actual lieutenant squad and dies.
...
I haven't managed to find a workaround for this workaround, yet, and I might have to pull this feature out of the patch.
I'm not familiar with modding tools, but pure logic suggests me the workaround for workaround for workaround here. Let your lieutenant_spawner (8pop) spawns not the lieutenant squad (8pop) but another dummy thing (0pop) which will spawn the lieutenant. Is it possible or even if so it will be too complicated?
And who decides who is fanboy? Hector claimed me as one of them when I wrote something like 'zu fuss doesn't deserve nerf because firing from it is harder then dodge its rockets'. One fanboys will ban another fanboys, that is how it will be.
There's IS-2 in this game??? Wow, since when?!! Beginning, you say? Oh yeah, I remember now. So maybe because everybody forgot about it? Anyway, no chance for it. Lemme save time of balance team and fanboys and cite them.
To the topic: since it's limited by 1 as other heavies (and that limit hasn't came simultaneously with other heavies' limit) i'm ok with it. Manage to snare it and even with support its days are numbered.
