    I propose that there should be a new kind of construction: Tunnels, Bridges, and Platforms. Bridges which can be destroyed or walked on at will. Tunnels which can go through mountains and create a passage way to the other side. I also suggest to prevent the "walls" concept from being violated, is to make sure there is a "non-cross able" type of land formation, and a "cross able" type of terrain, and an obvious marker to show whether or not it can be crossed or not. I also propose platforms made of large sheets of metal, which can be used to put land units on but also prevents movement of sea units (except the new submarines). It also may be used to be able to have your units above lava, although if lava is still meant to be one of those "non-cross able" terrains then forget the sentence preceding this one.

    How about stacking walls?

    I don't really feel your title fits with the content. =P Also AFAIK the only truly sentient robot in PA is the commander, and everything below it is essentially just hive mind controlled with only slight free will. (Only when not being ordered to do things)

    Anyway, all ideas I personally enjoy.

    You know there is a reply button? :)

    (Though If you use it I'd suggest you try to cut out anyone else in the subquotes unless you really want them to be alerted too, otherwise Tatsujb will get mad xD)

    Hehe, I hope you're not taking my posts in a way I didn't intend... I was only trying to help/be friendly since you seem to be new here.

    XD didn't mean it the way it sounded in my own thread

    Getting back to the thread, any suggestions on the new idea?

    bridges would be cool, though it'd be better if we had more of a "river" concept in the random generation.

    tunnels wouldn't have much use yet currently without a mountain range concept (which would be cool).

    I don't really get the platform one...

    Though to be fair, we can achieve all of ths with teleporters.
