So to start off, Every game the Defenders are standing in one place and doesn't give a fuck just standing there acting cool and stuff.

What if ALL of them Roam the Map so no one would fight over the Defenders in the Cottage, The Mail Room and other rooms which has a lot of units and also I would suggest that the Defenders should have an AI builder so they can last longer and help defend until

the end, The Builder is the same as the Human Builder but can build 2% Faster  and can build the turrets like in the lower left base (Forgot the Name). So I hope you consider as an Opinion not just a Jackass Post 

 

 

 

Comment for any errors you see.....

the game is pretty easy...

 

but currently the defenders are pretty lame (just some free units for ppl..)

it would be nice to give them more purpose :)

 

ps. as for doing the entire player AI... no way i'll have time for that.. but if anybody feels they got some free time and know the WE...)

I don't think anyone really fights over mercs since they that weak... Maybe except alchemist. So not much purpose for them roaming. Might even be a pain if they roam into where your building.

 

Bunch of random ideas for making them not so lame that anyone could've came up with and probably did but just didn't bother posting it here because it was already said or would never make it into the game or they just stopped caring bout FSA by now:

  • Making the ones claimed by people affected by unit upgrades to make them actually do some damage late game.
  • Upgrades like the repair bots to turn them into better units.
  • Team upgrades to make all the defenders stronger although I doubt any would be alive by the time this gets done so it would probably have to be dirt cheap. Unless it also affected paratroopers which almost no one uses... ever.
  • Team upgrades to spawn defenders periodically somewhere in the fort  like paratroopers but without having to spam 50 sentries.
  • Some more special defenders like Shinkel with a quest. Maybe defend a missile silo that periodically fires nukes that stacks with nuclear backup while it's alive. A special command centre that calls in defenders while it's alive.

ACtually .. i hate the Defenders .. they take all the kills at game start .. if the hero takes all kills from the 1st weak waves he would have an additional 30-80 stats .. depending on number of players .. i think the defenders are bad for the survivor of the players.. but that's just me ..

Oh right forgot about that..

Easy solution! Make team killing availabe in this game. Especially against other people would make the games more interesting. Mercs would then have a great use! Kill other players. Bunkers will finally have a good useage. Although how would people get anything done. Oh I know make some robot unit available 1 per player that can build everything the survivor can. To have it protected in the bunker while still building your base. Perfect logic everyone wins.
