Repair regeneration

Make it so that if you are in an armory, barracks, near your commander, or near your squad leader, your repair "ammo" regenerates faster...so promote teamwork , rather than simply getting in a squad for that first skill.

 

This could be a good idea. Make it so that you also get a tiny repair speed and weapon damage bonus when near your squad leader.

 

This is the best idea I've seen since the forums came back online

 

When D'you go blind?

But Yea, good idea

 

great idea

this thread sounds like dumpsterfoxes stat tracking thread

 

yeah, I agree with this. at first, I didn't like the regen idea, but now I see that it's better to keep your squad alive than just have them knocked off.

 

or, to simplify, all weapons get a slight dmg and/or rof boost, including the calculator

 

Definatly like it :D

A squad leader would have to have a special icon above his head then... so you could keep near to get those bonuses

 

I'd love to finally see some teamwork in Empires.

 

plus, an Icon on the HUD to show when these effects are taking place.

personally, I would leave the weapons the same, but have a large increase in stamina regen and reload times, because the weapons themselves arn't going to be any different. except calculator

 

I'd agree with that. Like the hero bonuses you get in other games. It shouldn't give extra speed or damage, just willpower affected things like stamina and damage resistance.

 

makes more sense.

 

yeah , sort of like in C&C Generals when Chinese tanks or infantry come together they get bonuses when there close.

 

*snif* *snif* Smells like a good idea. I mean less damage near squad leader and more stamina. The stuff that's related to morale and willpower.

 

excellent.

 

*Bump* This is a decent idea, how long do you think it will take till it's completely forgotten? Throw it up in the Suggestion Sticky someone

 

not it

 

I want morale!

 

thats what this trying to aproximate, but mabey a more complex system is in order?

you start with a bar at 50%. if by yourself it goes down 1%/sec, if near a squadmate it goes up 2%/sec, if near squad leader it goes up 5%/sec, if near a nonsquaded team member it remains constant, every enemy killed within a radius adds 10%, every team member death withen radius subtracts 15%. scouts dont lose points for being alone, or are even exempt from the whole system. the % you have left in the bar would effect...uh...something.

or do away with complexity and have a boost when near squad leader.

 

Scouts are supposed to be teamplayers too, imagine, a squad of Scouts.
