Title: Goons with Commando option
Post by: sullie363 on May 03, 2005, 05:56:38 PM
How about this.  Instead of just being able to load up a goon with troops that only go after the map room, what about being able to drop demolition troops that go after town buildings.  Drop ten of these demolition troops and you take down ten buildings.  The only time element is how long it takes them to run to a building.  If two troops are running to the same building and one gets there first then the second one automatically switches targets.  So fly in 4 or 5 goons with demolition units and one to capture the town once everything is down.  This wouldn't work on Vbases or ports since the ack would shoot all the troops before they could do anything.  

Just something I thought of today, haven't really pondered the concept very much.

Not a bad idea.  Points for creativity if nothing else.  

It would be alot of fun if your commandos were players.  Load ten players into a goon and paratroop into a town to duke it out with defenders.

Maybe get away from the 'destroy civilain town to capture it' model with a capture the flag model.

sounds fun to me!

Yea since WWOL did it first than there's no reason for any other game to bother trying to do anything like that. :rolleyes:
