New turrets

Post by Conor »

I was thinking about the gameplay in Warzone 2100 and I was wondering what people think of having extra short-range support turrets.

Something along the lines of a Gap-Generator turret which disrupts radar vision within its range, A 'shield' turret which which absorbs x amount of damage before failing (long reload time) and a 'stealth' turret which renders units temporarily invisible, or decreases the range at which you spot them?

I have no experience with it, so I have no idea what effect effect this would have on how mplayer games are played,or even how easy/hard it would be to implement them

A radar blocking turret is a good idea.
There can even be a communication blocking turrets ("anti radio") witch can make some units to stop responding to orders (but still react if being shot at)

ECM jammers are already implemented on the code side; they are not yet in available in game, but they can be made available via mods.

What about a tomato thrower turrent, it would throw tomatoes at enemys, it may also destruct hungry scavengers!

But seriously the ideas are nice, and artylery shooter is this nice "green" radar, or am I wrong?

it's CB, counter-battery radar Mero :^)
Causes artillery to fire back at the enemy's artillery.
The green turret is called Wide Spectrum Sensor, and it's a very good upgrade to the standard sensor turret, and supposedly includes CB capabilities, but I have never seen these actually WORK in a long time.
Also known as Subsentient.

I see bendib, thank you for the information, I had general idea abut the green one, now I know clearly.

You are implying that greens are not well setted now?
