• Those wishing to contribute to the game by making suggestions (both small and large) should read the following before doing so.

    Bushtarion largely runs completely automatically, and has been designed intentionally to be as self-maintaining as possible, with mechanics and balance considered at a completed point.

    Please do not spend large amounts of time coming up with complex suggestions in the hope that they will be read and possibly implemented in the future, unless you just enjoy the discussion, theory-craft, and such.

    The most likely changes will be rules-changes, specific number-tweaks to units, techs, and similar sorts of changes, and only if a large community consensus is reached as "proof" that a change would, overall, be an improvement, and are more likely to be done in batches, occassionally, not as a regular thing.

Alternate thug route?

I was thinking about pirates, and thought they are most a thuggish band of cut-throats, rather than being a mystical creature, so perhaps they could be an alternate route for thugs.

The route should be a different playstyle to terrorists, so a player could pick one or the other:

"Hmm, I get get terrorists for great anti-flak and stealth tactics, or I could go pirates for...

...Bribing fun?
...A rush route (perhaps have some thief synergy?)
...a defensive route, not unlike bunkers?
etc.

I'm just brainstorming here, but a few Ideas were:

Bandit
INN
*/*/*/*
Eta 3
init:900
Steals £0.001

And

Galleon
LET
Fires: ALL
Targets: LET
*/****/*/****
ETA 4/5
Init (After CW/Before TD)
Kills

Gives the player a rush unit that can be used for fun, and an anti-armour let unit that gives the route some firepower?

The tree would then have specialised units good at certain jobs:
Hoolies/nutters/galleons/jeep/TL for let
Bikers/Arsonists for NLD
Dogs/PB/HT for ALL
Thieves/Bandits for INN
Just off the top of my head...

Any thoughts?

Bandits would have to steal alot more than that for anyone to even think about buying them :p

Not that I wish to curb the enthusiasm, but seeing as it's pretty much now accepted a third Fantasy branch will come into play, surely we'd need to get that in before changing anything else otherwise it would upset the balances. OR only change things in conjunction with the introduction of a new Fantasy route?
