Side specials

Mig Eater · Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2012 11:22 pm Post subject: Side specials

Each side in D-day has a building which acts as the mid-late game tech building, giving you access to tank destroyers & other miscellaneous units, they also have a unique support ability too. Here is a run down of each sides special.

America:

The Americans can call a cargo plane to drop supplies around this flare marker.

Britain:

The British get a workshop which can repair vehicles & can also be upgraded to gain access to specialist units.

France:
France can utilize their resistance fighters to scout the map & reveal enemy targets.

Soviet:

The Soviets get a NKVD Office, which enlists extra infantry (i.e. clones them).

Germany:

Germany get an armory which can be used to train infantry to elite status.

Italy:

Italy have a salvage yard which can be used to recycle & also backwards engineer any captured units.

Japan:
Japan get a temple which spirituality imbues infantry with the power to slowly heal themselves over time.

PS: BTW to keep things balanced all these buildings have a build limit of 1.

I think you meant reverse-engineer for Italy's salvage yard, Mig. Backwards engineer sounds a bit odd. #Tongue

And maybe you could use Graion's AttachEffects logic for the other two since your using Ares. Smile

How would you backwards engineer vehicles? I would have thought mindcontrol out of place in D Day #Tongue

Units pop up in bonus crates quite often, I'm also thinking about giving engineers the ability to hijack vehicles too.

The US already get paratroopers & the Fatman nuke as late game superweapons. These are mid game support buildings tho.

what about a Spy-Sat style building? Perhaps for France, with some resistance reconnaissance?

That sounds good Smile

The more that I think about it maybe the US should get a supply drop as their special?

Engineer uses a dummy weapon that spawns immobile infantry that look like mines etc.

There are repair tanks so engineer repairing isn't really needed I guess, just trying to make him as multifunctional as possible.
