okay, didn't know that at all. Sorry, I'll change it to weak. Do people have to be so immature? *sigh*

It's been renamed to "Lesser Lightning Tower". Better?

WHAT? OUTRAGE! I DEMAND THAT IT BE KEPT FLACCID. ALL OF YOU ARE LAME IF YOU WANT HIM TO RENAME IT. It's like.. only the most original unit name ever, and I'm totally serious.

Flaccid tower: lies flat on the ground until a female unit gets into range, then it changes into the erect tower and splashes all enemies with a white particle stream...

Dude if you keep the untextured 'tron' like look of the units you should make some equally 'tron' like maps to play on. It'd rock :D

Thank you. Ops are just supposed to be kinda alien-y and have unique units/names. But since almost everyone doesn't want "flaccid" it's "lesser" simply because that still has a sort of "different" sound to it.

Well I'm from Ottawa so I'm English/French. But English is my primary language. I'm horrible at writing French but I prefer speaking it over English. It's confusing :P.

Oh and Smoth, the Armor.txt file still isn't working for me :S.

No offence, but grow up. I didn't mean Flaccid in that way at all. It's called context, and in this case it meant weak/not strong.

But "flaccid"'s main association is with the limp state of the male genitals.

Well, I'd stick to the TA naming convention of "Light, Medium, Heavy".

So, we have the LLT and the HLT... so what's lighter than the LLT? Well, below light is feather (feather laser turret?) and below that is bantam...

I look forward to seeing the BLT. mmmmm, BLT.

The thing is, this ISN'T conventional TA :P. And soon I'm renaming the two tanks and interceptor

A radical proposal, you don't have to do it. :)

How about if you ditch the energy aspect completely as a needless complication?
Just make everything cost metal.

Then there's two choices: either no metal makers (you are forced to expand) or very weak metal makers (slow exponential growth)

okay, well thanks :-). What do people mean by "+1" exactly? or does it just mean good job?

I would, but I like the two different resources. To me I actually find it easier to balance AND more fun to play with both of them. Nice idea though :-).
