Legion: Helepolis Heavy Transport
Helepolis Heavy Transport
Description:
Named after an ancient Greek Siege Engine, the Helepolis is a heavy transport that can carry 6 soldiers across the battlefield. Albeit slow, it can withstand quite a punishment before collapsing into its special ‘bunker’ form. While in this form, it can’t move, but still provides protection to the infantry inside.
The main power of the otherwise unarmed Helepolis is that the infantry inside can fire from several fireports on nearby enemy targets. Combine this with the heavy armor, the bunker form, and the fact it can crush smaller vehicles underneath its treads, and it’s clear why this is an effective siege unit.
As not all Legion divisions are focussed on infantry warfare, the Helepolis must be unlocked by a Commander before it can be constructed.

Non-official comment: based upon the RA2 Battle Fortress, it can be pretty destructive from what I've tested against the AI
