We need a troops update

Troops ie infantry some thoughts

Should interact with the terrian in a better way............ (ie stay on the ground)
be neat if they ran a speudo random pattern.
went into crouch when opposing troops are in range and shoot at them (m3 for x rnds)
went into crouch when opposing town buildings are in range and shoot at them (m3 for x rnds)
went belly down when one was killed (for x>y secs  then up and on)
retired to Barracks if left to defend unopposed more than x minutes
number of troops deployed from a field would be limited to y (20?) per undestroyed barrack object.

I like all of these ideas except for "went belly down when one was killed (for x>y secs  then up and on)". Just not a good idea....

Indeed, the troops should be actual players. This is too easy, like dumping supplies. Might as well be dropping off Kangaroos or Energizer Bunnies (EBs). Going to vote for the EB's if given a choice though.

If you modell them that way, you'll only need to drop 1 instead of 10 

That would be horrible...  Drop one and the map resets...  The Chuck Norris troop better have a hefty perk price.

Hi-tech could remodel the troops on the ground running in a straight line to maybe a conga line that allows other M-3's and goons to offload more troops and they join the conga line.  Plus add a little sound with some Carribean music and some female troops in grass skirts dancing hula style while the maproom gets captured.

I think the psuedo random patter by the troops is an great idea.  Just a slight L and R movement would be awesome!
