and think about it...

if your tanks won't repair automatically in the field...

taking 12 flashes + 2 repair vehicles

vs.

16 flashes...

makes for a base of operations next to enemy base.. where flash raids occur and come back to repair, while the defender has more tanks auto-healing.... but are scattered thinner...

the offense will STILL proove very powerful.. and HURT the other player...

it just won't kill him right off the bat..

such a setup would allow for longer games, games requiring more thought... and games more like chess...

the defender could attack the small army with const vehicles... or survive on his defenses and send his army at his opponent... whileist... the attacker could even use the army as a place to keep the defender harassed while they build a small outpost right there... and rally troops in that vicinity...

the possibilities...

I could think of soooooooo many more ways to fight if you had to rely on healing posts for armies.. vs. just letting them go and heal themselves or die....

it'd be more fun too if we get a bigger playerbase and say, 4 players on each commanders team, one building base + resources... and 3 doing the offensive raids and strikes... :-)

edit: for a single player/side game though.. setting the const. vehicles on patrol on a designated area, then retrating to that area, the const. stuff (aircraft) will repair your tanks there... and then patrol when finished, and you can attack again... (an old tactic of mine from like 96')

the biggest trick to doing raids like this though... is to have 3 or more groups of tanks... with all kinds of cover for them, flakkers etc. and cycle them, 1 attacking, 1 retreating, 1 repairing....

1 army charging in full strength without turning around will do more damage initially... but it will also give your opponent metal, and destroy your offensive force... to cycle them, keeps your opponent going crazy with defense while you can maintain other activities... without feeding him... :wink:

if you want a 3D RTS like chess...wtf...
The repair patrol idea sounds pretty good but i like regenerating armour i think it r0x. it means that INSTEAD of buying a cv or two to repair your attack force you simply retreat + recyle your tanks. it means that if you are on the defensive and your opponent doesn't let you have a minutes peace! ;) that 3 armies thing could work but generally when attacking you have a lot of enemy units/defenses to take out. the best thing to do when attacking is to attack your opponents enery. then no energy = no building/reclaiming/dgun/laser weapons/unit production/metal makers/metal extractors :D THAT is a blow that takes time to recover from espically if you kill his geothermals or fusions!!!
The way units recover life ENCOURAGES interesting strategy/tactics by making it possible to quickly repair units (~10secs out of the line of fire ~5-10secs recovering and then back into the fray!!! :D)

First:
RTS = REAL TIME STRATEGY
chess -> STRATEGY


Second:
no... it maks flashes too good...

Third:
now go r0x yourself off...

cause geek speak is retarted...

Fourth:

I figured out what you are.... an imbecile... just in case you don't know what imbecile means...

im├é┬Àbe├é┬Àcile ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mb-sl, -sl)
n.
1- A stupid or silly person; a dolt.
2- A person whose mental acumen is well below par.
3- A person of moderate to severe mental retardation having a mental age of from three to seven years and generally being capable of some degree of communication and performance of simple tasks under supervision. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.

adj. also im├é┬Àbe├é┬Àcil├é┬Àic (mb-slk)
1- Stupid; silly.
2- Well below par in mental acumen.


I think the noun #3 defination fits you perfectly...

some cummunication... lol.... I don't even need to go there... I can just say "r0x"...
some degree of performance.. (flashes)
tasks under supervision? when you have an ally and he feeds you his resources for flashes....

you are a fucking idiot min3mat... I'd rather not know you..

get the fuck outta my thread, you: "oh my god he wants to throw out the r0xzors regenerating ability of my units!"

you stupid dolt.

yes. that is a shitload of bullshit. chess = strategy. but i'd rather have a system of 100s of different counters buildings units structures. Chess is a good game. SO is TASpring. if you think that because ppl micro their units and make sure to keep some alive and leave them for a while to regenerate is 'lame' or 'stupid' wtf are you doing playing a RTS? go back to playing chess for YOU are the moron

eek, lathan, you where at first appearance a rather nice person when I first noticed you offering todo modelling stuff, but this attack on min3mat and the imbecile stuff is bullying. This is an international forum and those sorts fo words prevent people getting to this thread from behind school networks and other public community internet services.

Aside from being hurtful words.

Sigh...

I'm locking this thread since some people obviously can't behave.

It is actually possible to share ideas, discuss strategy, etc without reverting to name calling...

But if you want to show the world how stupid you are, please do so, but not on this forum (you will be banned).
Locked
