I'm done with designing and here are the pics:

(Improved) Mech Walker:

the Pre Insect Walker:

The Insect Walker:

"These things may be more realistic, but it just makes the light walker useless once you get the medium. Unless you mean they replace each other in which case I agree whole-heartedly."
I see maybe there has to be many time between it, maybe the Mech will be availible before Hover , so it will be used for defending units(the attact troops wil contain Tracks/Hovers and the slow Mechs for the further security), then the Insect walker will  be availible after the Tiger body, then the mechs are almost useless, but there worth recycling...
i hope u like the concepts, tell me if anything has to change :P

The walkers look awesome. I don't care if they are not entirely realistic - they look like something it would be fun to play with in the game!

Looks interesting, but I don't see how to put them to good use.
Do they have any special abilities ?

-they won't get slowed down while climbing ramps (not cliffs)
-they might able to carry multiple weapons
-they're having the most armor in the tech research time
-maybe they could squeeze light tanks (tanks with light bodies) like ants :D
-there just awesome to see them crawling over enemy lines :D
maybe are there some other suggestions :P that's what this topic is all about  ::)

* THAT is truth.

* If you study any of the scientific scenario forecasts of a Post Nuke Holocaust World it's clear that "Tanks" are ridiculously far-fetched.

* Thers's actually only ONE good reason for tanks in WZ - we like to play with 'em .... period.

* I too am curious about any "special abilities"...

* WZ's current animation functionality doesn't quite make these feasible yet..... then there's "bump-mapping"...

* So, I see you posted while I was writeing mine.

* Well then .... as long as we're on a pure fantasy continuum where RL physics & sound military engineering don't matter ....

* How's about going the full-monty "Transformers" route.... out-fitting them with retro-rockets like Ironman so they can fly around... well like jumping spiders...

* Why stop there.... let's give 'em canons that can warp the space-time continuum so on the battlefield they can warp in & out of different battle-fronts totally giving the opposition fits of vertigo leading them to puke all over making the landscape slippery, funky & stinky. ::) :P

* Sounds super-dupper to me. :D

Why stop there? Instead of just the chrono tech from Red Alert, we can also take the weather controller! And Radiation weapons! And mind control (ok, so we already have that)! And better yet: Prism Towers! I thought link turrets did this before I used them.

Why stop at Yuri? Tiberian Sun already had an influence on the game (Ion Cannon, EMP Cannon, VTOLs , hovers) so why not go all the way! Mechs and Drillers!

Also, I just thought of something: A Cyborg Transport (systems) Turret! Maybe 1 borg on light bodies, 3 in mediums and 5 in heavies?
If they could fire out like battle fortress in RA2(YR?) it could be even kewler.

* Actually it could be the other way 'round - Pumpkin released all of that months BEFORE TS went gold & was released August 27, 1999.

* But, what the hay.... it's all good !

Perhaps the walker legs could just be used as propulsion for already existing bodies.

sounds cool.  ::)

That sounds nice, walker legs will be slow but tough and can climb mountains.

* Here's what I wonder about.

* "Center of Gravity"

* I'm sure you've all seen the "Star War" movies & their "Walkers"...

* You've also seen HOW the cutsey-cuddly little Ewoks took 'em out.

* With a "Tank" you can take-out the tracks but the turret weap can still function effectively.

* You take-out a "Walkers" leg or 2 and that is definitely not the case with any physics / engineering I'm aware of.

Did you see the Translucent Box? That's the space for a body(and weapon ofcourse). :P

I thought about the Walkers like this:

Light :
-able to walk OVER enemy light tanks
-not able to climb cliffs

Medium
-not able to walk over enemy tanks at all, but small Cyborgs could be very vulnerable by being overwalked
-faster than light walker(because of fewer weight and more flexible)
-possible to climb cliffs at very low speed

Heavy
-Can't overwalk enemy tanks, but cyborgs can be overwalked
-can climb cliffs without speed decreasing
-will be faster than the medium when the tech: Improved Insect walker rythm is researched.

you mean like this?



or like this:



As you see there king of the land, but Aircrafts can easily take them out, so there is need for non walker tech to defend the Walker....

maybe this has to be worked out more properly maybe someone could make a list of more specific and reasonable details (exact amount of HP and Speed Etc)
If someone like to have (some of the) the models: PM me then i can give you them in 3ds format (and i'll delete the translucent boxes etc)
