I mean come on... making a wood tower on tier 3 it's just ridiculous.

I agree! Although I thought radar detector was early T2.

I'll change it for 2.3.

even if is T2... it still looks silly...

unless you make it a research for beginning T1, right before you research the sensor itself, then it would be ok to have both, a wood tower, that later gets replaced by a hard tower, otherwise no good.

tx for the change.

Hehe. My bad. While you're at it, Zarel, could you set the research cost to something sensible, unlike my "testing" cost? :P

This should be done with the [heavy] machine gun tower, and it should eventually get replaced with an assault gun tower as well.

Does the radar detector pick up sensor towers?

I ended up not changing it. I like it being relatively inexpensive.

It should.

Zarel, at some point I believe the hardened tower upgrade should be there for the (heavy) machine gun tower, then eventually it should be replaced with a hardened assault gun tower.

I mean even late game you still have this frail HMG tower.

Meh, I'll probably eventually have an AG tower.

hmmm... hmmmm.... hmmmmmm.... I see the hardened radar detector made it into 2.2.4, still with dummy cost... lol, hardened machine gun... it would be kind of useless, you have arty to kill little guys a couple of upgrades ahead. AG tower might be good.

This is another case of "we need the defenses builder screen".

Even when I do know that a defenses builder might be a lot of work, it would be the best addition of the game, if some of you devs can get to make the screen and separate the bases models, I can re align the research tree in order to show bases researches and remove all the defenses researches. So you would research to base type, and the you can combine it with the weapon... would be nice.

Oh yeah I knew that Idea was there, and also knew that no one is doing it as far as I know, so I wanted to offer some help in order to see if someone will get their hands on this change. :P
