Re: SoundRTS and the CrazyMod
Because robotics are my favourite race so far, I've spent some time writing documentation for robotics. I primarily used the rules.txt file rather than the French documentation, as it was not sufficiently detailed. I'll be doing technological next, and will update this post as I add more documentation.
Robotics race
The large amounts of gold required to develop buildings may deter some - especially since all units require at least a secondary building, However, once the infrastructure has been developed, robotic units can be recruited at relatively low cost. Additionally, with the exception of geeks, no robotic unit requires food. Robotic units are relatively fragile but have excellent offences; robots are the only race with units capable of attacking grounded and airborn targets in adjacent squares. Finally, it should be noted that robots are vulnerable against invisible enemies, as developing the technology to see invisible units takes some time.
buildings
Towers and traps do not need to be constructed on meadows; these buildings can be anywhere in a square. It may be appropriate , for example, to construct traps on bridges and paths.
