In the year 2207 a hail of strange meteors strike the Earth, effectively killing an estimated 60% of mankind. Prior to the impact, the nations of the world moved bulks of their populations to space to dodge the coming apocalypse. All but one made this move. Japan decided to ignore the mandate and moved underground, building massive bunkers. Fifty-three years later, mankind returns to the surface, and the struggle for resources of an unprecedented scarcity prompts one of the greatest conflicts in Earth's long history. But will mankind notice the alien passengers that arrived with the meteorites?
New unit! The scout mech is a cheap, light, and very fast recon unit that can build a temporary camera tower, which will die after 30 seconds.
impressive, how much does the tower cost (if at all)? also, is there a way to script it so that at each point you select for a patrol, this thing will drop a tower perfectly timed for when the hashiba comes back to replace it in it's patrol route? would be sweet...
The tower costs 10 metal and 10 energy. It would be free, but the dumb engine requires a minimum of 1 cost so I made it 10. Might make it 5 to lessen it's economical footprint.
As for the patroling thing, that would require scripting beyond my knowledge, and I'm always a proponent of people actually playing the games instead of the games playing themselves.
......so usually you do better let it be a missle which can shoot every 10 seconds to see a vast zone on its trail... like one-time use radar plane...
