Title: Make Light Towers Useful
Post by: Starfox00000 on June 21, 2006, 09:31:13 PM

Would it be possible to make light towers alert you like scouts? that would actually make them useful, where as right now they really dont help. They would only help if someone is stupid enough to attack them, or you looking at that spot and see them when you wouldnt have seen them without any light. They have a bigger range than scouts, so theyd have some advantage over scouts. So is it possible?

Probably not, but I can make it so you have to research them if you want! :evil laugh:

Perhaps in the future but not with our current knowledge of how the game units work.

Someday we'll learn more though.

Light towers don't just have practical uses!   They can be used to pretty up your town too!

Crazy Idea here.

Why not put a scout beside your light tower?

Or better yet; a Thor's Hammer Tiger; it'd make light towers just like some sort of guarding post thing.

Wait a minute! We could create structures that are easily deployed that not only warn you of incoming enemy units; the blow them to hell too!
