    but i see walls as a structure, not a unit. there job is to protect the towers that protect my base.

    i would still build more units that can shoot than tank (meat shields)..

    If the leveler and inferno are removed, I want the leveler's model given to the PHATI. Keeps with the KS and also looks better. Come on, two cannons firing simultaneously look better than one!

    For the Craftworld!

    As cool as D-cannons are, could also just make it into a T2 flak tank(a powerful one). It'd finally give a way for armies to leave your base when you don't have air superiority, but won't invalidate air too quickly coz being T2 makes it harder to get.

    Remove the vanguards weapon and make it a mobile radar/meatshield.

    my 2 cents on this one put the heavy flametank in t2 since very specialised unit .... remove it from t1

    Nah I agree with that sentiment.


    T2 flak is OP.

    Air units should be pretty low health compared to ground units.. And the flak should be thinning them out, not being a thin red line.


    A defensive tank (high health, radar, possible ability to intercept incoming physical projectiles) would make the Vanguard a tank that didn't invalidate the inferno.

    +1 to unit variety over straight upgrades.

    Nothing else to add really.

    perhaps you don't realize the t2 flame tank has radar which pairs most excellent with the sheller so while it's an upgrade it's not an exact replica.

    Make it a mobile catapult, but with multiple independent missiles. Then stagger this to achieve a burst effect.

    Im completely joking here, but i thought the vanguard would be awesome if was a mobile jump pad for bots lol.

    It stops moving then dox or bomb bots walk into it to get shot over walls (trampolin style) mobile airborn unit:D.

    again im joking, the voices in my head made me do it.

    A short range tank with a ******* powerful cannon, ala the vindicator in warhammer 40k.

    Dozer blade optional.

    If you want to avoid the imperial inquisition,GW's lawyer squad, make it look more like a WWII era tank destoryer instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_destroyer

    Beams. Penetration to all in a straight line. Ground only. Slow firerate. Big damage.

    That's all I want to say.

    Garat said in the last patch notes that beams are now in the game files, along with instant-hit weapons, which are used for the gill-e (plural = gill-ies ?) and the laser platform. So they are making something with beams.

    I liked the idea of having it as a T2 AA with a small dox gun for ground units. While also being the vanguard meat sheild.

    Oh shush, instead of going at this game with a chisel and hammer, why not use your choice of molten glass, clay, or some other medium to ADD to it instead of subtracting. This endless obsession with a doctrine of cleansing and purifying ever more that was born somewhere in the void between TA and insatisfaction knows no end other than perhaps Draughts.

    When you think of Draughts, it's the step back from that mentality that makes you say : "no, this isn't what I want" but you (perhaps) cannot associate what you're doing here with this doctrine folly because the step back in is unintelligible and untangible.

    So realize that this holy quest for purity in the enemy of fun.

    that diversity, unmistakably passes through a bit of redundancy. does this units have tracks? yes, as well as 10 others.
    scrap them but for one? I think not.

    If you are patient you shall see that every unit shall find it's niche. and that the more we broaden the family the more smiles can be had.
