Default Re: Why no Infantry?

You can add infantry by doing the following:

Replacing the tank images with infantry.
Adding or altering the weapons available to ground troops to represent infantry weapons.

Examples:
Rocket Launcher
Plasma Rifle
Flamethrower

You also might want to remove the Troop Cockpit component or just rename it something like Officers. What happens if you change the troop designs so that they don't need a "bridge" component? What effect does this have on ships?


Ooooooo, I got an idea!

Instead of the ground units being individual troops/tanks, you could alter them to represent large formations, with the components being platoons or something:

Sml/Med/Large Troop ---> Company, Battalion, Regiment
Cockpit ---> Command Platoon
Cluster Bomb ---> Bomber Squadron
Ground Cannon ---> Tank Platoon

etc, etc.

Whaddya think?
