Change Boom to Boomer

I just wanted to roll in, and say that the poll allows to have all the options checked, therefore, one can vote to both have it renamed and to keep the old name at the same time. Anomalies like this could have a tiny chance of breaking the laws of physics, inevitably leading to an early apocalypse by shattering the time-space continuum.

Please, be responsible, and avoid the end of the world by not creating paradoxons.

It's linked to a sports team?

BOOMER FOREVER!

+1 Hugbot. Nothing like a cute little bot with a cute little name that then blows up in your face.

Legionnaire
...
Because 'boom' is already implied.

YES!

I think they should a add a jump ability where it jumps several meters.
If They don't do that, I think it should be suicide grunts.

so boom is going to stay boom, and go boom

Haven't seen these guys yet, are they in the new version?

Yes, but don't expect to see them used much yet.

No, that'd be way overpowered. I once sent a not particularly large swarm to attack a commander once, and the only reason he didn't kasplode was because the controls were bugging out and they though "attack" meant "stop where you are and have a picnic".


In terms of names I'd say something like "Ignis" (latin for flame). Or Hephaestus or Perses

Yeah, the Boom is a unit which should be easy to kill, but deadly if you come in from the right angle.

Id like it to be all terrain too, so I can have a legion of them charge over mountains and through valleys to hit the undefended sides of an enemy's base.

Not to mention, flaking enemy tanks.

That's pretty much what it is now from what I've seen.

Transports.

Errm, that is not the point.

Transports add mobility to the units they serve, and are universal in that service.

What I am suggesting is a movement addition to the unit it's self, that can then ALSO be used with the transports assistance.

That's a Comm issue. Let the Commander deal with it.

Oh boy! Binary outcome units are the best. Totally useless, right up to the tipping point where it kills everything.

Don't expect booms to be useful until they start raining from the sky. Until then, a unit that's expected to work one out of a thousand times isn't going to be high on the roster.

I feel like giving suicide bots near-unrestricted mobility would be overpowered.

How so? It's not very different from a Supcom tac missile.

I don't agree with their current frailty.

If anything the extra mobility would make up for it, unless they become a little tanker, then I would say it's a bad idea.

It's a powerful unit, like I said earlier, even a small group can be fatal to a commander.

If they catch him, don't get mowed down, or ubercharged.

Then yes.
