------------------------------------------- Van Rotterdam’s DeathTrain Project ------------------------------------------- I am thinking of introducing some kind of a unit/weapon combination. As a secret ECA weapon, it need a little modification between the elements. Here are some pictures: Basically the idea is: making ECA defences on empty 'flatbed' train cars. the research time lies in the fact that some defences need a little adjustment or modification in order to 'fit-on-car'. This require from me some time to work things out. in other words, making a (few) decent post(s) about it. explaining the car and weapon system, strengths and weaknesses of it. for as a small example: ECA guard tower on a car is a No Go. useless, too high etc. we got bunkers for that. second example: most defences can shoot while moving, but the Howitzer is transportable, and build straight on the car BUT cannot shoot while moving. the train needs to stop, and there would be some 'deployment time' necessary in order to fire the weapon. Basically like the Nuke Cannon needs to put out his 'feet', so does the Howitzer do. and that's why the Howitzer Cannon base defence is a large sized building... So. What do you guys think of it? Questions? Signed, Van Rotterdam

How are you going to overcome the fact that trains have to always be on a railroad?

that's the biggest weakness of them talking in order of balance. I will use in the game the current known railroads. yet it could be that we may build some more. but basicly, it is impossible to build railroads everywere.

I think an arms race for armed trains would be interesting.
