Bunkers

I see buildings very rarely used in combat. Occasionally you see an armory or barracks pop up, only to be taken down shortly after... or never if there is massive ground conquerations.

What if you, for a big price (say R600) and barracks build time, you could put down a bunker for infantry to hide in, a complex with 4 turrets (2x MG 2x ML) on four 70° angles (leaving a doorway) with them being of current research level, but also something infantry could hide in and maybe shoot out of on a small second level with gun ports.

I doubt this will happen or actually help with anything, it's something that popped into my head when I was reading through the props topic somewhere on the forum.

 

I guess with the new ai turrets and squad/commander deployable/armory buyable, mannable turrets / artillery pieces we'll have more frontline "buildings" already.

Bunkers are a little problematic since you can't easily alter level geometry, making going below the ground impossible (atm.).
That's why the tunnels aren't ingame I presume, too.

 

Well, I mean bunkers as in, just a small complex on the ground with one turret level, one gun port level. It would cost the price of multiple turrets nearly doubled because it would have additional cover and health.

 

I know that, but it's not really a bunker if it's completely above ground level.

Additionally I think the "turret platform" would be less practical than the already proposed "advanced walls" with gateways, firing positions, turret attachments etc.

 

Quoting yourself is FUN :D

That outdated and derailed (I even helped derailing it) thread doesn't exactly fit, ya know?
Slith isn't at fault for not searching.
Especially since necromancy isn't that popular overall.

You are however welcome to repost your idea here.

 

Shinzon beat me to it.

Necrophilia is alright here.

Continue an existing thread and from there on make a post with pros and cons in the "organize stuff" sticky.
