[Xconq-hackers] Attacking transports / cities

[Brian D. <bf...@sb...>]

When unit A attacks unit B which is transporting units C,D,E,F, then a single 
hit can hit B plus each of the units inside of B, possibly allowing a single 
hit to destroy five things at once.

A single fighter attack on a city can destroy two armies, an armor, and three 
fighters.

Is there a logic behind this, or is this a bug?  It makes for intereting 
tactics where you can greatly reduce an enemy strength if they are holed up.

Could logic be added to have everyone flee the container if possible when 
under attack?

Should things which are being carried or contained have extra defenses?

Meanwhile, an interesting story...  I like setting up games against three 
computer opponents, giving each of them a 2x advantage, and seeing if I can 
survive.  Recently I had a game where i was just about to lose everything 
when all the sudden a city way across the ocean revolted to my side.  After a 
few more turns I had lost my entire original continent but from that one 
rebel city I had regained another continent.  The computers eventually won, 
but that sure was quite a time!
