Re: [glob2-devel] should turrets attack air?

[donkyhotay]

Unit fusion would be horrible in this game. Suppose you didn't want your units to merge. Players don't have enough control over units to prevent them from fusing all the time. In a macromanagement game I don't see anyway of making it work. By the time the game was rewritten enough to allow fusion to be an option it would just be another boring micromanagement RTS. The best part of glob2 is the macromanagement control scheme. It's something I've wanted to see in other RTS games and removing that would completely ruin the game as has been stated by other people many times before. 




I like the idea!
