Base Defenses and Utilities

[Johao]

I wanna be able to buy my own bots crossbowman which gives me all the exp and gold he gets for kills

Would be pretty cool, but hard to make

Now that.. gives me another idea.

But I'll save that for later, too many ideas that the NI team has to look into.  :-*

4. Anti-infantry Siege Equipment(Perhaps I'm going overboard with this one):Having a fire ballista or catapult could be an interesting change. A player can spend a considerable amount of time to load the siege weapon(which makes the player defenseless) before firing it at a fixed position. A blackened spot would be the place where the projectile would be fired, causing a small area effect when it hits onto that spot, capable of killing bunched enemies. Although there might be FF issues on this one.

Like a grenade from Fire and Sword?

More... of the cannon in F&S, but its fixed so it can only fire in one spot, teamwork would be needed to herd those horde into the fire radius. Of course the radius should be small enough to take out 3 or 4 enemies at once and taxing enough that loading a projectile takes you some time out of combat to balance it out.
