Could the outpost system from SK be backported to LH?

October 15, 2014 3:14:57 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

  I like the way it's handled in SK over LH by a wide margin.  Both in using pioneers to upgrade OPs and with the ZOC damage.

I believe porting this to LH would be an improvement.

Personally I'd much prefer that LH outposts provided a unit of defenders, rather than the zoc damage.  

Ideally we'd have both as possible outpost upgrade options for Outposts

Hm, not sure I agree. I like the Sk system but I think it is a little bit too powerful there. In LH it would make outposts crazy good.

I like the idea of spawning defenders better. ZOC damage as an upgrade might work, but could still really screw the AI.

I like LH outposts. Only thing I don't like is that they don't defend themselves. Would be nice if there was an 'archer tower' or 'stable' or 'barracks' : Upgrades that provided a variety of base units that would defend the location against attacks, similar to city defenders in cities.
