Re: Space Food Empires!
A repost from the SE.net Space Food Empires forum:
Rather than use mounts or create mini versions to adapt weapons to troops, I ended up deciding on making specific troop versions of appropriate weapons. The main reasoning is to eliminate many of the quirks associated with ground combat such as weapons firing every turn and lack of functional damage types.
Another interesting aspect is that there are two types of troops in the mod - troop vehicles, which can be designed by the player - and various troop infantry that are essentially 1kT weapon components that can be placed on the troop vehicles. For example, you could then have a tank with a cannon and two assigned infantry etc. Infantry troops tend to provide less damage points then troop weapons, but do offer better "armor" protection to the vehicle.
