Power storage...

Post by Ubermad »

:idea: i got an idea :idea: . if there would be an power storage limit (say 10,000) instead of the current 100,000. couldent there be an storage facility to icrease that limit with like 1,000 or something like that? :hmm:
that way players wouldent get too much power at the same time. if one of those facilitys would be destroyed, the power stored inside would be lost. hopefully there could be an big explosion that does some damage to nearby units and structures. :P
that is a simple way to cripple another players ability to que up an horde of Heavy Tanks... :twisted:

this is just an idea... but it could be something to improve game reality and complexity. :D

Interesting idea, you tried to balance how a Power Storage Facility is essential to a player, but at the same time, it can be very lethal.

This is an excellent idea; one problem I see is running out of base space, which can be very precious in MP. Also, if you destroyed all your opponent's power storage facilities, he'd have 0 power, leaving him powerless :wink: to rebuild and fight on. But if those two drawbacks could be overcome, this could be very viable.
