enable mines - MontyCoco - 2008-01-31
i think this suggestion is not hard to implement:
do you think it is a good idea to ask a further question in the custom mode, phrased like "Enable Mines?" or so, which would (dont get frightened) enable or dismantle the mines? i only talk about the ones you can buy, not the ability of the demolisher.

does no one have an opinion?
Re: enable mines - Batto - 2008-02-02
I am against it, the mines you can buy arent used that often and still need quite some skill to be of maximum value so i see no reason to make a no-mine option. If you come up against someone using mines, just adapt your strategy to it
Re: enable mines - MontyCoco - 2008-02-02
then i suggest to make the mines weaker. when you drive somewhere (no other tank nearby), you are killed by a mine, you can do nothing against it.
another possibility is to make the mine detector see the mines (so the player can do), not just saying "there are two mines" or so.

I think you can see the mines with the radar (i am not sure however).
But it is quite normal that the mines can kill you easily. Why? Because it costs as much as a decent weapon but you have only 1 chance to get money from it and that is when someone gets on the mine. Ok, i believe it is frustrating to play against if you come on those mines a lot, but just counter it by buying a hull for example. Suppose he has the first mines (weak mines or whatever, 2500 gold 1600 dmg) and you buy a hull ( 2500 gold 2000 hp) you have more then enough hp left to go back to your factory to heal. AND you have a hull, so you can creep/fight longer without having to heal while his mines become pretty useless and he wont gain money anymore from them....

ok, i think it was my mistake. i was very frustrated when i wrote this^^
maybe the mapper want to say something to this, too.

Monty, I understand ur frustation haha. it happened to me so many times.
But Batto is right. More balanced item = funnier. If u have some difficulties, then try to adapt and piss off ur opponent. There are many ways to ''dodge'' mines...
Get radar (only 600 i think), and watch where ur opponent puts mines. Look at him : where is he going, when u think he stops to put down a mine. nway, i think to put this option is not a good idea cuz there will options for Orbital Control, kamikaze and others items...
I hope u understand my opinion
Re: enable mines - ChatEnChaleur - 2008-02-07
Oops, radar is 1000, but thsi isnt the item i get... when there are mines, i get a detector (300) its very useful and u can use it twice for only 300 !"
