Is that how it works? If you don't empty it of everything it magically fills up? I'm a bit wary of using some of the stuff now, like combat drugs or rum (I never get apples...).

So far only the most basic items have been changed to expendables, so no worries. Rum is still unlimited. Large medkits will stay unlimited.

Honestly I'd be up for limited rum, if it weren't apple flavoured. Or I guess you can view it as the runts producing a keg for every bottle, and then the gals get refills when they get back to base.

We'll see, there are enough apples, but if Rum was limited, you wouldn't make Chateau for $$$...

Fair enough, mister thinks about everything.. :P It would require a different balancing mechanic otherwise you'd just pretty much always make rum (like in the old Piratez). And honestly, it seems like the current mechanic works any ways (except I didn't think of needing to research the chateau for rum and so it's June and I still don't have it. but field surgery kits are pretty good too!)

I'm sorry to criticize your playstyle Meridian, but it irks me to see you neglect to kneel to shoot, and also sometimes shoot one-handed. Girls under fire may have to be very conservative of their TUs to avoid reaction fire, but snipers and archers have typically a lot of TUs left. If a standing girl misses a 98% shot, don't blame luck, you had only one button to click to replace 98% by 112%

Also, be aware that the game engine has some bad "ideal" trajectories which actually pass through walls. If a failure is suspicious (like 2 shots at 90% miss and hit the same obstacle), there's no point in trying again the same shot : Take a voxel screenshot to study later, and move to a different tile, or kneel / stand up so you can shot with a different angle.

^Why are you sorry to critique his style? We can only get better and learn from one another. I learnt the sniping with bows from on top the Ventura from Meridian.

Critique is always welcome.

To answer the question: I am not kneeling too much, because weapons in Piratez are already accurate enough, and I always have lots of backup troops if I miss. Much bigger problem than +/- 5% accuracy is that the weapons are mostly ineffective, dealing only miniscule damage.
