Reading through a topic in the multiplayer section, some guy posted about how an opponent turned the lights off some scorpions and owned the poster with an ambush with them.
Kinda hilarious from my point of view, but it sort of gave me an idea.
As it stands now, I haven't seen anyone in their right mind use scorpions since we played "Scorpion Wars" back in WON. (Yes boring, but only way of having some fun with them)
In order to make Scorpions (Arachnids as a general) useful, how about removing them from the Radar(Mini map) completely..? even with lights on. - Add in a final research for them, rendering them invisible on radar.
Personally, I don't really see how this can be abused. Scorpions are a very light combat vehicle, with limited firepower and speed. It doesn't take much to kill them.
With the invisible on minimap research, they could prove valuable in groups as ambushing units, as your opponent would have to constantly scan the map for those units.
Any thoughts ?
Is it actually doable ?
