ogre mk. III out of supply pod!
I've never heard of this happening before - Mk. III's always seem to be spoken of in hushed tones as mythical units!
I think it must be research related - I had just got the tech. that gives you 8r armour (forgotten what it is called) quite early on in the game

id say its more related to timeline, think ive got 2 or 3 at quite different stages of tech but roughly same late game time when theyre absolutely useless because uve got choppers and orbital insertion troops.

fluffy, if you somehow figure out what the pre-requisite is. Please post.
See Battle Ogre Mk3?!? thread - at that time I was wondering if they existed at all...
I've only seen the Mk2! Never found one myself, though... It's a good idea to have pod scattering turned on! That's all I know...

:laugh: I wouldn't go that far!
I'm almost sure that the pre-requisite is Sentient Resonance, but I don't know any way to confirm it for sure.

I have NEVER seen a Mark3 , probably because I quit any game when I am so far ahead that the AI has no chance. By the time the y come around though I don't see that there is much to get excited about. Their lack of drop ability makes them a pain to move around
Now an early Mark I is something to get excited about. I've used those babies to crush an early neigbour . . . that 6 weapon is something else when most of the enemies don't even have 2 armour yet

Don't forget that once 90% wounded a Mark I still has purposes. Take it back to a base needing police garrison or better yet cash it in to rush an SP.
