So, in my time playing banished, I’ve found a pretty consistent glitch which is very exploitable, and frankly quite broken. I didn’t want to bring it up, in hopes of it being patched, but I haven’t so much as seen it mentioned anywhere, so I thought I would shed some light on it. In the current version, if you deploy a blisterback under a base shield, then relocate it out of the shield, the game still registers that unit as having shield protection. Needless to say, this is really broken. I can’t say I haven’t been guilty of using it myself, but it needs to be patched. Having a base shield, covering a blisterback anywhere on the map, is insane. It makes the things unkillable. I was playing someone who used eradication on my shielded blisterbacks and it didn’t even kill them.
You can tell that it is registered as the base shield, as when the blisterbacks take fire you recieve the “base under attack” message. Furthermore, should you break the shield on the blisterback, it breaks the shield at the base too.

Yeah, it’s broken as hell. I think that so few players played banished before that it went under the radar, but now that they’re picking up speed I’ve seen it a few times. And I’ve used it a lot myself.

My god I have to go play banished as soon as I can!!!
This is an incredibly OP glitch though indeed!! I mean, I have to try this myself to confirm it works even it sounds so broken! If you have them and reavers I’d say that would be the most broken strat ever…
Honestly it doesen’t surprise me though, considering how many other glitches and things that have been addressed in patches and stuff.
I think it’s fair enough that the shield bubble from a banished base protects the units inside it. It’s not like you can stack the shields like in the first Halo Wars.
Considering the length of time the game is out there’s a lot of stupid glitches still around.
