Complete annihilations terrain raising is great...

You are a genius.

[Otherside]

working as intended..

[hunterw]

ic ant see shit

Problem of such terrain modification power is that since you couldnt chop down the pillar due to engine limitations you would have to bring it all down to get the unit atop it...

[quantum]

It takes much, much less time to restore than to terraform in CA. Undefended terraformation can keep you untouchable for a very brief time.

[kiki]

Good use of Terraform. Its a very useful feature isnt it?

[manored]

Yeah... Altored mountains are too high for your BB to shot over? Make our own mountain and let the shots fly! :)

[overkill]

Actualyy that happened one game, but the guy took down the mountain .

If things keep like this nukes will become a essential part of ever game, since they are the only units with trully insuperable attack angle... :)

Nope, you can build a wall to block nukes. Try it. The wall needs to be fairly close to your base, diagonally between you and the launcher, and it's required height depends on how far the nuke launcher is. :) On a map with high terrain hardness, this even works for a long time.

Of course with such a wall you're not going to get OUT either. Your opponent will just have to level the wall with his own cons after blasting everything outside of the wall.

nah, it doesnt need to be complete. If you scout the nuke, it can just be a line.

I think that if the enemy saw a hypermassive pilar in front of your base he would aim a little to the left or right... :)

And its true that even nukes can be blocked by walls but it would require such a insane amount of work that I think that anything else would be more worthwhile...

[clumsy_culhane]

lol its not much work, just draw out where u want the wall with a couple of lvl1 aircons, then set on repeat,

[Saktoth]

You can actually block planes with a wall. Yes, im serious. You can build a wall so high they cant fly over it (gunships can, though).

Its not hard to knock down a terraform wall with restore terrain though. He might not be able to shoot over it, but nor can you. Yes, you can block berthas and nukes using terraform walls- but you can do it with antinukes and shields anyway.

I suspect we'll add a slightly higher cost to terraforming (something closer to DT costs) in the future. But right now, i think its good to encourage rampant exploitation of this awesome feature. It adds so many new tactical options

[Google_Frog]

I like making wall or ditches with the mound terraforming so I can use my kbots but they can't use their tanks. It's also really good at hiding t2 econ from berthas. Also for hiding the new CA guardians.

[kiki]

Yes, I am a kbot user in a vehicle world, and it works pretty well most of the time.

You can if you make your arti attop the wall... :) Tough some arti would be unable to shot anything but very far away stuff from the wall due to angle limitations (guardians, toasters and tremors wouldnt have that problem tough)

Mounds and ditches have been removed, you only have the straight up-and-down blocks, now. But kbots can cross them anyway.
