Let Crazed Droids return to their former glory!

[Max]

A few rounds ago, Crazed Droids had a purpose.

They were made to kill tractors. Not only was this great, but they added a much needed counter to the armoured innocent flak units around.

Then they got changed to fire ALL on the close tick. Since this change, I have hardly seen any CDs being bought or used effectively. Not only this, but tractors have no effective counter at all anymore, which is unfair in my opinion.

I would suggest that CDs changed their stats back to where they were a few rounds ago, when they fired on all three ticks at pure INN and had 5-6 stars of armour damage. It worked perfectly then and you don't know what you've got 'till its gone

I agree. They weren't massively useful as tractor killers, but it would be an improvement on what they are atm.

 

[Iamsmart]

Thirded.

 

[Twigley]

Tell polo that.

There are quite a few good counters to Tractors.

 

[TaO]

Thumbs up!

Grens iirc

Well one way or another, CDs need a purpose. Either as a return to tractor killers or something new. Just a wasted unit now.

They have a purpose. Although they may be a bit too expensive as they are.

 

[Davis]

and said purpose =?

Terrakan?

No.

Why does everyone need things spelled out for them? Use your brain.

 

[Dark_Angel]

Agreed useless atm, useless units ftl.

 

[Max]

I agree that CDs do have a purpose the way they are now, but I think that as an elite tractor killing unit they were far more useful before the change.

Clearly it depends on the player, but I think that it would benefit a larger proportion of the playerbase if they returned to how they were, at the same cost they were (about £55k if memory serves ^^)

Agreed.

 

[Dark_Angel]

A purpose to a handful of people isn't a purpose to the playerbase. Some units are utterly crap but there'll always be a least one guy who thinks they're useful for something.

CDs aren't used purposefully by even the minority of robo players, though.

What is the counter to 300m tractors ?

 

[TaO]

me knows!!

/me raises hands!
PICK ME!
50m shock troopers
50m sorc's
25m dragons
50m terro leaders
50m CW's
100m Sleep traps
I think they should do some serious damage

 

[Changer]

Would it stop them tho
