Post by: Mcshay on March 08, 2006, 04:28:48 PM: I would pick the storm, because it will be gone in a few seconds.

Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: TH300 on March 08, 2006, 04:42:37 PM: Electrical Storm, because a permavortex can also hit the cc and the storm wouldn't be permanent so you have time to recover from it and one cc destroyed doesn't matter if you have backup ccs.

Post by: Sirbomber on March 08, 2006, 04:45:13 PM: I'd rather see the super storm mostly because it would be kinda funny to watch...
*ZAP!* *Adv Lab destroyed* (7 Workers, 20 Scientists have died.) OUR PEOPLE ARE DYING!

Post by: Highlander on March 08, 2006, 04:54:09 PM: I'd prefer the storm too.. Though if I had a couple of those vortexes guarding my base...

*grins*

I'd go with the storm that has an ending rather then an eternal vortex.. the latter means you have no hope of rebuilding your structures in that spot, while the storm passes away... Besides 1 big blow destroy a building anyway.. it doesn't matter that much if the lightning gets stronger

Post by: dm-horus on March 09, 2006, 01:09:10 PM: i agree. the storm, even if its uber, would pass and you could repair your stronger buildings. however a vortex is guaranteed to destroy everything directly in its path and heavily damage anything near. however, if the storm was as powerful as a thor and moved very slowly theres really no difference between the storm and a vortex, only that the animation is different. the result would still be the same and in such a case i would question the purpose of having two types of disasters that carve the same path of destruction.

Post by: Sl0vi on March 09, 2006, 02:03:17 PM: a permavortex just sounds like so much fun! :D

Post by: CK9 on March 10, 2006, 12:40:28 AM: a permavortex in YOUR colony sounds fun :P
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: BlackBox on March 31, 2006, 07:54:59 AM: Yeah, I would go with the storm since it doesn't last as long.

Also, they move a lot slower so you could probably get some items out of the way to lessen the damage.

Post by: instigator on April 01, 2006, 02:04:08 PM: I'd have to go with storm too. hmm i smell a new survivior senario. escape a map (units running to a beacon) or build a spaceship while dodging your base from storms through out the whole map.
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Stormy on April 05, 2006, 07:04:06 AM: permavortex.... hmm, you should have ppl be able to blow it away using hairdryers! ^^ (Alright I'm done being random.)
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Vexhare on April 05, 2006, 10:50:19 AM: The storm probably would be better... gotta make the frequency a lot less than other electrical storms though.
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Stormy on July 09, 2006, 12:02:30 AM: haha, I can see it now: *savant voice* "Warning! Perma-Vortex detected!!!"
*boom* Our people are dying. You have failed. Our colony is doomed.
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Savant 231-A on August 26, 2006, 03:01:01 PM: Permavortex sounds good.

BOOM BALA BUD BALA BOOM BOOM!

Hmmmm... I liked that idea. It would be very good if made right.

Post by: Errithmatik on March 22, 2007, 12:53:38 PM: Id want the storm, although strong, it wont last as long.
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Ro@m on April 01, 2007, 08:06:06 AM: Storm ahoy!
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: alice on April 02, 2007, 01:17:37 AM: Storm more powerful than Thors Tigers...

Question: Can I missile whore it?
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Psudomorph on April 18, 2007, 11:36:37 PM: You know, I'm playing the game on Hard difficulty right now, and I'm starting to suspect that there already are storms more powerful than thor's hammers. In level 5 plymoth I had one of them take an agridome from full health to low red, and that was with the damage reduction from DIRTs.

It would definitely be interesting to see either of these disasters made real, it couldn't involve much more than changing a few numbers... [mischievous smile]
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Hooman on April 19, 2007, 02:27:06 AM: The perma vortex has been done. I don't know about the other one. You're probably right though about just chaning a few values. But who knows, they seem to like hardcoding the occasional bit in this game.

Post by: Sirbomber on May 21, 2007, 07:24:02 PM: Wow! Another of my polls lasted over a year! I feel... so happy! :rolleyes:
I should restart this topic, but instead include maps so people can "demo" before they vote. :evil laugh:
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Quantum on July 09, 2007, 11:21:25 AM: I think the storm would be much better than an ongoing vortex

more time to recuperate
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Empedocles on April 09, 2008, 09:40:37 AM: I pick the storm. I usually have a fleet of repair vehicles scattered around my colony for just these things. What if there are two types of storms? The regular version and the super flavour. And you didn't know which would hit until you did the proper research.

Actually, I'd rather have an eternal vortex go through the enemy colony.
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Civie on December 03, 2008, 05:05:41 AM: Thor's Storm.
I hate the normal vortex already. It's enough to wipe out an entire (back-up) base...

I had a huge colony, was going to build a second one on the other side of the map (just for lulz) and BOOM 'Vortex detected' byebye ores
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Sirbomber on December 03, 2008, 08:27:10 AM: Well, over two and a half years later, and after 56 votes, it looks like Thor's-ish Storm is winning by a large margin!

You'll all regret voting for that when I make a "special" map for the reunion! :evil laugh:

Though you'd probably regret voting for the Vortex too...
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: Hidiot on December 03, 2008, 01:54:45 PM: We'd regret something anyway.
Title: Thor's-ish Storm Or Permavortex?
Post by: CK9 on January 09, 2009, 03:15:31 PM: I think the regret would be in voting in a poll put up by bomber =p
