UPDATES: 27 02 2006

Structures have now been fixed and are almost complete! They are at the stage where the only changes now required are some balancing issues, which will be addressed when we get to final testing.

Structures now have some new ZATUS as well

DF scores
AT scores
Allowing Melee
Size (in square units)
Power
C-Req

Now, its C-REQ you should be interested in, this is the new Capture Time Score. The amount of no-action, consecutive turns that are required to take over a structure. This replaces the old Capture-capable card from CA8.
CA8's problem was that its UNITS (now the structres) would affect the whole field and didn't require to be activated (well, some did have a special activate from anywhere option). Now, this was fine before we had battle-grids and scenerios, but once they came into play the UNITS were highly overpowered.
Since Structures only affect the area they exist on, you can do more with them and we have large areas of play: We allow multiple structures and any can be captured.

Now, you may be thinking, If a enemy doesn't have a character on the structure square, how can it defend it? Well, think ofall the people/things that inhabit the place to keep it running... A citizen defence force if you will. Capture time is the time to subdue and take control of the structure so that you can use it :P

Sorry if I rambled a bit there and repeated stuff... its late here.

The Requiremests messy column has now been shifted to three nice neat columns, and abilities are now more clear. Because of this, we can present a new bunch of Ability Options!
