Silly update ideas

Today's silly update idea:
- Add more players

too op might actually carry some people in pot

Today's update idea is:
- Add a repair bot that is proficient at dodging

okay, I feel better about the game now.
Time to play some Future Wars next Sunday.

Sun Tzu-inspired update:
- Every unit now uses stored energy to fire, stored metal to auto-repair. The unit runs out of energy only after 2-10 minutes, by default. Also, the energy & metal consumption is insignificant. To restore a unit's energy & metal, it needs to be either near a mine or in an energy grid, respectively.

- Dominated/resurrected/reclaimed units reveal portions of the map

- Wind affects fire-based weapons
Note: too complex.

Bonus silly update idea:
- Caretakers have a grid range and can overdrive with energy reclaim.

i am implimenting trains soon maybe tomorrow along with everything can fly / hover

@ clive "The ground is so low that it can be terraformed to allow for ship units, for cheap"

you can raise water level already to effectivly do this unless i missunderstand.. cheaper units can be achieved via metal multiplyer although it aplies to all units. are these solutions?

Thanks for asking! I don't plan on lowering or raising the cost of units, I merely wanted the creation of water paths to be cheap and accessible on a map. So, ideally, it should be possible to link water "train tracks" (aka water paths) to any or most locations on the map. This is easy to do by merely raising the water level to a certain level, and then making land be shore-level, with the exception of obstacles, if the author decides to add any.

There's already the ability to make terraform cheap. But making terraform cheaper enables some nasty terraform cheese, so it's best to just make the ground low. This can also allow for the "train factory" to be "installed" without major modifications, letting it be seen in vanilla Zero-K.

That's why I advocate for this approach, rather than any modifications.

(Another problem with making terraform cheaper: Ships are more effective when they're on the same level as the target units. If the river turns out to be too low, powerful units like envoy will prove to be far less effective, ruining the whole premise of a powerful train factory)

add a bomber (or modify licho), which has a bomb that has (mostly) impulse power. or NEGATIVE impulse power. throwing everything around but gives limited real damage. units only get (insane) collision damage and unit compositions are newly intermixed!
