Ornithopter doesn't need flying tech to produce - Answered

The ornithopter doesn't need the flying tech to produce, at least for me. Possible bug?

Seems fine for me in GP version. Which version you are using?

Google play.

Try to click this in game that you find the bug to see the tech list. (Starting tech maybe enabled / flying tech added by trigger in that map)
If the game don't have this tech & you can still construct ornithopter, that is a bug.

Pretty sure thats been there for a while. The orinopter is meant to be revamped somehow, I believe. Its trash atm anyway.

It would be great if it could have a buff

Like being immune to arrows since it's so fast and is flying in air. Can be just high p. Armor

Or like having a good bonus against Giants

Or ships since they're fast

Or infantry since theyre fast

Or cavalry since theyre fast

Or maybe to buildings since buildings don't move.

I think they plan to make that into a fun unit instead.

We could always give it to dwarves though through gnomes and make it drop bombs.

I never researched any flying tech and always could produce ornithopers from the start.

Yep, just tried it a few minutes ago and I didn't need the tech.

Ornithopter is planned to be made as fun unit, just like pea shooter. It will be reference to AoS. Stats will be downgraded to previous ones but cost will be reduced to 2 turns. Will not be able to conquer tcs but will be recruitable by all races in tc.

Flying tech is planned to move to dwarves only since most of their flight force is planned to be mechanical.
