Dark reign 2 had laser fences Command and conquer had them too Why not make the current spam item "The Wall" a laser fence like the other RTS games. Each section of laser fence/wall could use energy and when you stall you Energy economy it turns "OFF"
I love walls! I like the solid ones, I just wish i could build a line of them and not have to construct them individually.
I think instead of walls, we should have miniature catapults that, when driven near by units, rotate towards that unit, scoop it up in its bucket, and fling it at another unit, instantly killing both units. That way walls actually discourage movement in some meaningful way, instead of just blocking shots.
Why not make them bunkers that you can put dox in then if it has dox in it it could shoot at units that pass by, the dox would be safe until the wall was destroyed. like in C&C red alert when you could garrison a building with troop.
If uber was to implement laser and solid fences between 2 wall blocks, do you think it would make wall making easier or better? In example, You place one wall block then move over and place another wall block within a certain distance from the first and it makes either a solid wall or laser fence between the two wall blocks automatically. Then you could build the wall section by section instead of spamming blocks
or how about really really cheap units that can slowly move across the map and make the wall themselves, and when attacks come they can rotate to show a new undamaged face of the wall till the walls gone then they attack for a couple shots and blow up.
Laser fences as T2 walls, Punishes A-move attacks? Might be cool. I still love the current walls and their shot-blocking, though.
Awesome idea for an advanced wall section. I really like the fact that they are dependent on your energy, and i think this building is simple enough to be realistic to implement in the game. However, i think they need to do more than just block an area. They should maybe damage units who rush through them, making them an excellent defense against a dox death ball.
Please no Laser Fences ... I don't like to much laser in games... Ps.: I don't like C&C (except Red Alert)
