alien upgrades

[T3h luggage]

One thing I have noticed in cyber battles is the extreme deficiency of life oriented upgrades.  There is only symbiont.  I don't know if this would upset the game balance, Or if you can even add more in Matlu, but I think that we ought to add some in, as it tips the scales in favour of tech.  I thought for a while, but could only think of "Chiton armor" and perhaps "claw."  Ideas, anyone?

what about sword,  cyborg (makes ur guy have a silver steel suit on him) and   shot gun just a stonger version of blaster

[flamingdragon]

those arent really alien upgrades

Well guys if you really think about it Commanders would be more tech than aliens. You cant really give a human commander alien upgrades but you can give them technology upgrades which they already have. After all the humans create technology. I kind of think of it as Aliens vs Predators.  We all know Predators will win because they are More advanced in technology and the aliens arent. Also dont forget that they are a lot smarter. simple as that. WHICH PROBABLY EVERYTHING I JUST SAID MAKES NO SENSE WHAT SO EVER.

BUT i think what a good idea is having an alien force or something make your commander invulnerable of attacks for about 2 turns just incase someone trys to double holo you or you ran out of good monsters and you have no where to go but attacking with your commander OR someone is trying to kill you with a probe haha

maybe there could be alien downgrades that did stuff to enemy commander/monster like "attack 0 for 3 turns"

Alien tend to have better mobs.

Mech tend to have better upgrades.

Play smart, play mech.

No one should ever become invulnerable, or be stipped of their ability to kill somehting else.

Why not?

I would like to be able to paralyis or freeze enemy monster

[SiR gUt]

yea man thats what im saying something like that paralyze a monster for like 3 turns but you cant attack it maybe

you also gotta remember that the game is balanced as it is
alien has mutate and mind control
while tech has nothing like that

while mind control (or hypnotize, as some people prefer to call it ) IS defined as alien, I would say that it almost doesn't count, because it has 100% probability (so the outcome depends solely on resistance of the monster). It means that it doesn't depend on world alignment...

But it does influence alignment changes.

[ZAPTONE_Z]

i thought mind control wa a 70% at neutral

I was talking to Matlu about porposed upgrades over a game, and he said that his engine can't handle stat lowering...
I think that that would be the major problem with many of these ideas...
But for all people say that the game is even, I see a distinct favour towards tech...
