Catapults need a counter!

The FX might have been for "lightning", but within the Moho engine it was treated just like any other beam weapon like the Rhino or Monkeylord.

Yeah, the fixed arty in PA is very cheap compared to SupCom.

The catapult is really the worst building in the game.

If anything it should build missiles and work like the nuclear missile launcher but cheaper. Right now you can just build it and the other player has no option but to relocate his base.

I'd rather see it just removed from the game completely.

I also think there should be some anti artillery and anti catapult thingy for turtlers. In supcom we had shields and since shields won't be in the game I guess it will be some kind of anti missle launcher.

Allow AA to target the missiles but at a high miss rate?

Kinda like metal marines for the SNES.
(great game that has a free PC downloadable version)

Why no let flak shoot down catapult shots?

While there is a sense of doubt about the balance of the catapults tracking ability.

On any decently non-knifefighty kind of map the static artillery is MORE then fair.

Artillery range in the supcom games were a little more then suspect for the T3 artillery, that for defensive players undid the point of expanding at all.

T2 artillery in supcom needed the player to expand next to their target to have any effect, much like in PA.


So to say that we need a anti-missile defence means that you are not tackling the issue in the right way at all.

Namely, if your opponent is allowed to put up their artillery next to your base, you deserve to get shot at.

If you play on a small enough map for that artillery to be in rage from their base, then you are both playing on the wrong size of map, but are also likely at a loss to the point of the games scale.

Sounds good. But I would prefer a gatling gun. Just because it's more choreographic.

That is a terrible outlook I think, removing it without trying to fix it first would be a waste and a shame.

Is there a bug with how the Holkins handles small planets?
