Sentry Post

#1 123HELLO

Posted 19 March 2013 - 12:17 AM

Can the sentry post or its upgraded forms (forgot what they were called...) get an airstrike or something? Like call down an Apache helicoptor to start shooting creeps

and maybe control paratroopers because they usually NEVER go where they are needed.
Possible reasons why are to the average player the sentry post seems pretty useless. Other than using it to see invisible but theres no need to upgrade it if thats all you need it for. Sure you can call down paratroopers but they take a hell long of time to actually get there and they usually get killed straight away. Sure you can mass them but that takes time and resources you need for stuff like your wall, towers and stuff that don't run away when nothings left to kill (if they come to your base at all).

Paratroopers will be alot more useful in the future, Niwa wants to redo the complete spawn system and pathing. They'll drop with parachutes near your base and wont get stuck so easily. You won't be able to control those troops though

Hey

Just wanted to sneak in a little note..
Since sentry isn't a tower (does not benefit from tower hp or regen upgrades) it can be incredibly fragile at times (+ some creeps seem to target it over towers).

Same for merc tents and vendors. Its pretty annoying... increasing hp on those buildings would solve the problem (e.g. same hp as mills?).
