Remove the engineers from the game

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Hello,

Engineers does not really add any enjoyable gameplay besides waiting for the unit moving slowly over the screen and start constructing something. Why not allow players to start constructions in captured zones right away?

Game looks really promosing btw :) Looking forward to spending many hours building and destroying stuff!

A really basic way to do it would be to allow players to issue construction orders without any engineers selected. Any engineers in the region that are not building something else would make sure it happens.

 

This would mean you don't need an exhaustive list of every engineer you own- you would have a list of regions and a number indicating the size of the constructor team in that region.



Good idea :) This could also work for unit building! Keep the unit bar at the bottom of the screen and place unit blueprints directly on the ground. Nearest factory would build it and send the unit to the location. This would make building units and keeping track of construction projects much easier. I don't see this as OP, as all players would get this advantage.

I don't believe the current C&C construction style will scale very well with gigantic maps and thousands of units.

If you double click on a capital you can do this already. The only problem is that it seems to build the units at the seed. It would be better if it built them at the closest factory.
