Hi,
I'm looking for help with my first map using corporate raiders. I am unable to get them to take buildings. I've scanned other posts but haven't spotted anything that will help me.
I have created a mixed unit group of raiders and rocketeers. The rocketeers will attack, but the corporate raiders stand there like dummies.

I have tried various actions like attack, guard, guard area, hunt (which I have since read does not work), but get the same thing, the rocketeers will attack while the raiders stand still.

Am I missing something obvious?

Corporate Raiders don't have an auto-attack function like rocket soldiers. Have you tried ordering them to attack an area settled on a building?

Are they part of a unit group? If not, then they need to be. Make your Troopers and Raiders part of a unit group and give that group orders to attack the nearest Acme building for 3000 seconds. Your raiders will function as hoped.

Thanks for those comments. I had tried those various scenarios.
As it turned out, I was having a Homer moment (dooh!) in that I had not set my side 1 intelligence setting. As soon as I did this, those raiders went on the rampage through the enemy base.

:oops:

Thanks for your replies anyway.
