Phasic :)

[Ralod]

Phasic units should be included into EoN. By adding phasic units it adds a whole 'nother aspect to master in EoN. The teleporter would then be a must target for the Strike Comanders and all players. The strategic possibilties with phasic are limitless!! So Please include producers (pretty please)

An interesting idea, although if something like this were to be implemented, there would have to be some severe limits put on it. For example, the phasic unit would have to have a certain "cast" time and not be instant. Battles would wage on forever if an entire armies could teleport away during a fight without many losses. The battles would devolve into which army could rush the other and kill the phasic unit the fastest.

I am not sure that would add the right type of strategy to the game, but still an interesting idea.

Well when to be phasic there would be the item that has to be equipped before the phasing is possible. And there would be a limit to the number of units phased in each attempt. By making this possible it make strike commanders take the role of hunters to "hunt" down these key units before they can take advantage of their abilities. And it wouldn't be all that smart to just "phase" away every time a battle occurs because there is key locations to capture and by phasing away you give up without a fight. Which would be dumb.. Anyways i think it could be implemented if they wanted too.

Is it just me, or is this just basically Chrono Tanks from Red Alert?

More like the phase field from C&C3. It was a support power from Scrin.

[CWJT]

More like phasic units from shattered galaxy.

[Ralod]

CWJT is definitely right about that

Phasic would work best with artilery.

On other units there would be a severe sacrafice on Armour/Health in order to equip the item. In certain circumstances it becomes a disadvantage to have it equipped

YOu would have to balance it out so that only select units would WANT to phase. (Teleport). Sacraficing Health on tanks for phasing would be stupid.

The idea of being able to phase artilery in to quickly control chokepoints is awsome.

It adds a whole new dimension to "hunting" (Strike commander?). Strike Commanders would be responsible for shutting down the units that allow you to phase..

IT adds a different element to the strategy aspect of the game. IT wouldnt just be about running around tryin to kill these units. You might choose to lay minefeilds early in battles in areas that are common for Teleporting Artilery. You might choose to be agressive with your phasic artilery and aim another teams artilery units. Teleporting Artilery allows you to change from Defense mode to Offensive mode quickly. It would take a smart mind and quick decisions as to when you want to go on the offensive or when you feel its time to protect your base.

It's important for people who are not using phasic to still be aware of the map around them. Where these units commonly set up. As a team it adds more to think about/plan for. its not just about "go forward shoot **** capture base". It becomes "whats the best way to avoid artilery, how do we shut it down, how do we use it to assist our heavy armour units, How do we use it for defence" etc.

Still an interesting idea, but this would seem to be a little too much in my opinion. With stealth units acting as spotters, phasic units could teleport on top of an enemy army. Quite the element of surprise, but I that seems simply too powerful and a potential game breaker.

Personally I hope a teleport type ability does not make it into this game...stealth units are bad enough.

Isnt that the point of strategy though?

To always be thinking about whats coming next? not Whats happening now.

Sure they teleport in and kill.. but theres an element of strategy in being able to counter/be prepared for this to happen.

Its not exactly a suprise if you prepare ahead of time to counter.

Being able to stop the "gamebreaker" is a gamebreaker in itself.
