    I was reading the War of the Worlds and I when I got to the part with the "Black Smoke" Chemical weapon that the martians used. I thought that some similuar to that weapon in Empires would be useful as well as EMP(Electromagentic Shells)

    A chemical shell would realize a posionous gas that would kill any players and damage tanks armed with biological arm. It would also remain in the area for a few minutes making the area inaccesible. And even kill infantry hiding inside buildings and will also kill your own teammates and vehicles who are stupid enough to walk through it. And there would be a different type of shell that would clean out the Posion Gas.Both shells would require to be upgrading

    Pros:
    1.Could be Effective way of clearing hositles in buildings
    2.Could be effective way of holding a chokepoint from the other team
    If combinded with regular artillery it could be deadly as hell in sieges.
    3.Slow down enemy offensives

    Cons
    1.If a commander ordered a team of artillery to barrage a area for a long time it could render the area impassable to both teams.Prolonging the game.
    2.People could grief with it bombarding their own base with it

    EMP shells would temporially disable enemy vehicles,buildings, and electronic-based infantry weapons and abilities in it's blast radius. And a engineer would be able to repair the effect units and buildings.THe player would have to unlock the skill first and the shell would have to be researched.

    Pros:
    1.Slow down your enemy's war effort
    2.Would be effective in damaging Enemy offensive capabilities
    3.Disable a vehicle long enough for your teamates to destroy them and making them easier to dismantle.
    4.Disable turrets long enough to get pass them and destroy them and the things they are protecting
    5. Would be effective in Sieges on Enemy base and weaking a entrenched army.

    Cons:
    1.People could grief with it and disable their own team

    The chemical shell seems waiiiiii to powerful, dropping a single one in a enemy base and kill all infrantery/tanks (for a coupple of minutes!)?
