This is intentional. If you go rovers, tanks or hovers, use your commander or cons to build on the edge of the wall to get wind.

Also, these factories are great for direct assaults on this low-metal map where it's hard to fully fortify a position. There needs to be a tradeoff, and that's the ramps.

Can Com become submerged as he moves into the central water? I assumed (incorrectly?) he would be able to retreat into it as I moved him around the center. Not a complaint just easier to ask for future than go test :P

What size is enough for a commander to be submerged?
Is it different for different commanders?
Does the commorph make the hitvolume larger so it varies depending on level too?
Does the different commander chassis have different sizes?
Does the weapon emit point vary between the different chassis and levels of upgrade?

The thing is Anarchid, they are more than just pyro ramps. Spiders benefit. Even glaives/bandits can be of some use up there. Hovers, amph, whatever else you like also use that terrain to go around the back irrespective of who can climb it, I guess.

The thought process was that because vehicles benefit from flatlands so much, choosing them should be a valid option to pull off direct forwards assaults (barring being against shieldbots). To give them ramp access too just felt a bit unfair on everything else.

Does knowing that thought process help or can you give me a good argument as to why veh/hover/tanks should have full access to the terrain?

My take would be that, as a vehicle factory, being entirely unable to clean up a small group of skirms or lotus or whatever poking at your back mex with a far larger vehicle force seems kind of unfun. I don't know how much of an effect it would actually have on winrates though.

I don't know that I personally feel that strongly about it one way or another.

Alright. V2 it is.
