Should mobile ground based missile units be introduced

Postby Cnl_Death » Thu Aug 23, 2007 11:36 am

Would mobile ground based missile untis improve game play. Imagine being able to move them around to avoid strikes. Kinda like the subs only on land.

If you were to search the forums for "ground units," and search for both terms, you would find two pages of topics. If you were to read those topics, you would quickly find that the idea has gone over like a ton of bricks every time it has been brought up. When you enter a new community, it is generally a good idea to search the history of that community before you start making suggestions. After a game has been out for a year, it is very unlikely that any idea you have will be original (though it is possible). By searching the forums, and discovering that this particular idea has been batted around quite a bit before, you could have saved yourself much of the grief that is likely coming.

Search. It's not just for breakfast anymore.

Welcome to the forums!

By the way, most of the regulars on this forum developed thick skin as a survival mechanism, so don't think that xander is going out of his way to be mean to you or unwelcoming. That's just how things go around here.

Words on the front read: "No, it isn't "just your little idea." Half the people on these boards with less than 10 posts had that idea. They posted it here, without searching to find out if their idea was (a) unique and (b) welcome, posted yet another topic, and were promptly beaten to death with their own audacity."
