Injuries on all Generic Units

[Max]

My suggestion is very simple;

Currently we are able to get injuries on all 'basic' units (i.e. any units that are available without developments).

My suggestion is that we extend this to allow any Generic unit to receive injuries.

The reason for this is that currently if you have combine harvesters and they get killed, they do not return until you get online to purchase some more with insurance money. If you can get harvesters with injuries I see no reason why combines should not also be allowed to become injured!!!

This way players that get hit overnight are still able to produce seeds while they sleep <3 And let's face it, combines are so much better to buy than harvesters

Ummm We currently do get injury on basic units, Gards/harvs etc. We get insurance on other troops. This came in with age 5

Yeah, he's saying we should get injuries on generic units (not just basics)...therefore with things like combines. So if someone is using combines rather than harvs and they get zeroed while they are offline then they will still get seeds once their combines return from injuries.

If we're implementing it for tractors/combines then no need to leave Geos out in the cold either...

The point of the suggestion is that when someone gets zeroed not to be left for a long time without harvesters since in the later stages of the game most of the players buy combine harvesters instead of normal harvesters.

I find it quite logical and tend to agree.

I concur, it would appear I always do with Sir Max's suggestions!

i reckon all innocents should get injuries, what about stealth harvestors? or cyborg gardeners?

That's where i'd begin to draw the line since those units are exceptionally good flak and Insurance is good enough for those. *most* people don't use those units as actual gardies/harvies so the whole reasoning behind making INNs have injuries would be moot.


Tractors, combines, harvies, gardies, geos, wheelies should be enough. Even Hippys and yobs isn't *really* necessary; but ain't all that harmful either.

I draw the line at "Generic", as in a unit everyone can get regardless of route.

What would be the usefulness of that? As alcibiades said, people use those units mainly as flak. If my flak died overnight, I would prefer it to stay dead and use the insurance to buy new flak once I got online. Otherwise some aapje could come in and kill my respawned flak, leaving me with even less flak than if I cashed the insurance.

On the suggestion of Max: Obviously a great idea, maybe not on the tractors though (and maybe convert the injury on gardeners, hippies and yobs to insurance, since there is no advantage of them respawning, only imho a disadvantage of them getting killed a second time ).
