• Those wishing to contribute to the game by making suggestions (both small and large) should read the following before doing so.

    Bushtarion largely runs completely automatically, and has been designed intentionally to be as self-maintaining as possible, with mechanics and balance considered at a completed point.

    Please do not spend large amounts of time coming up with complex suggestions in the hope that they will be read and possibly implemented in the future, unless you just enjoy the discussion, theory-craft, and such.

    The most likely changes will be rules-changes, specific number-tweaks to units, techs, and similar sorts of changes, and only if a large community consensus is reached as "proof" that a change would, overall, be an improvement, and are more likely to be done in batches, occassionally, not as a regular thing.

Just for fun :)

While I was thumbing through the manual (as you do), something struck me:

Why don't stunbots actually stun?
Right, before you rip my head off about balance etc. I whipped up this little description to clear the air...


Name: Stunbot [£50,000]
Unit Type: Robotic
{No Change here}

Description: Ok, so our scientists haven't quite worked out all of the kinks... and maybe they can't figure out how to make it actually stun targets, but you've got to admit; "Stunbot" has a much nicer ring to it than "Disablebot"...

Description: Remodelling microwaves as semi-intelligent beings may not seem so smart to you, but scientists think otherwise. Plagued by slow reaction times these little guys make up for it in other areas. Powered by fusion technology and emitting sharp electromagnetic spikes to a victim's chest region, these guys are truly electrifying.

I always took that bold phrase to mean they were a bit 'stunned', i.e. stupid hence, 'stun(ned)bots'

Either way, i'd happily to see your description, or one like it, substituted.
