    There are already the walls that you can build, but I was wondering, will there be more of these types of structures? such as more durable walls and such. I know warzone 2100 had these and they were pretty cool because you could create an entire fortress enclosed.


    oh and one more question will the stacking be expanded so you can create a uniform line of structures without one or two looking a little off, or is that already implemented and I just don't know about it?

    there was a t2 wall icon in the original icon set, which means some thought was put to it though it was never used.

    Mebe, mebe not.

    The wall is at least a start. Really, it is all that is needed right now, buildable damage sponge and cover and one way fire. If more was absolutely needed and useful I am sure it would be considered in the new units list of ideas they could pick from.

    Ask for the second thing you mentioned, that sounds like you defined "gridding" which is planned as a feature. I believe the idea is you can line buildings up end by end, click-and-drag over and area and build a square of lined up buildings within it, and drag over a line to create a line of structures.

    If you're talking about walls specifically, we don't know. Probably not since walls are so hated among the community.

    There will end up being more defensive structures though.

    Walls are only hated because of the targetting issues with them.

    Walls themselves are great and I'd love to see more done with them.

    I'm not against a T2 wall, I wish there were more unit types that can bypass walls and attack targets behind them better (sort of like Tesla tanks in RA2)

    We will wait n see.

    To me, the stomper and sheller are the same unit that do the same thing . I would like a little variety that would make base assults more interesting.

    Yes, they are. People often forget about using those units entirely. I thought you had too. That's true a little variety there would be cool.
