So what, we will have a GDR bushido?
The point og GDR is their awesomness, magnificence and omnipotence. Reducing their actions to a set of cheap moralistic subdivisions simply undermines their original attributes.
Fair and likeable!!! These are GDR not Elves. If you decide to unleash the power of say a...METAMORHPIC ANIHILATOR upon unsuspected civilians you expect no more than total destruction.
Sneaky and devious!!! What is that now? Saruman on acid? A GDR needs not to be neither sneaky-the sheer size of the thing (even with partial cloacking) contradicts that. Deviousness OTOH is not bad but should be an integrated ability of all GDR.
Perfection I think you let the cituation in this thread regress to a lame ass motif...GDR are sufficiently self justified and proposals of humanophormic dimensions should be considered as spam.

Obviously Perfection needs some more time to iron out this idea... Spam be not proud, but at least Perfection is consistant.

Hey! Its Perfection's thread and its Perfections idea, so let him decide how he wants it. He doesn't need other people to tell him what to do.

Of course he posted it here to have comments, I'm not saying he didn't. I'm just saying that Its his creation so he can decide how it will go. Sorry for the misscommunication.

Silly Garbarsardar, the great moral devide between good and evil Giant Death Robots is vital to the nature of Giant Death Robots! Consider the Autobots Tranformers, they are respectful and kind, yet Optimus Prime still has major Ass-Kickage! The morality of Giant Death Robots is of major importance, like it or not it is a major component to the whole field of robot mechanics!

As for sneakiness, consider that certain robots have invisability, radar jammers, transformability or other deceptive traits. These allow them to be sneaky.

Of course all of these subsequent posts of the original are clarifications to the original theme. So while these posts may not be as exciting it is merely because I'm talking about the nitty gritty rather than the awesome grandiose Giant Death Robot theme!

Will there be a GDR Army? An Army that could burn down to the ground 4 30pop-cities in one turn!

What about the naval warfare? How would the GDR's perform in the previous area(except walking on the ocean floor)?

Will GDR's be armed with nukes?

An Army!? What GDR would be so lame you would need an Army of them to destroy 4 30 pop-cities. You must be thinking of Mechwarrior(tm). Maybe there could be an army of SDR(Small Death Robots) that combine to form a GDR.

With the second coming of christ in the 24th Century(Futurama) it becomes easy for GDRs to walk on water. Before then battles are below the water or slightly above with rocket packs(preferabbly back mounted b/c feet mounted rocket packs are lame).

NUKES!!! Of course dude, read the thread.

Perfection, sorry about answering this before you did.

No but you can have them attack together as a time

Some Giant Death Robots are made of ultralight materials allowing them to float. Of course there, will be flying Giant Death Robots in the later ages.

Yes, if you've read the thread you'd know it's true!

There are no small death robots in the game, however combinitorial Giant Death Robots will exist. They just will be really huge and made from smaller (yet still giant) Death Robots.

Civ is based on history. This is just silly. A future age would be cool though, and perhaps robots should be included, but transformers and zords?

I loved the nano epoch in Empire Earth. They should include it in Civ.

So, it appears that you've allready made your point that you think my idea is lame and you think I'm an idiot. Now unless you have something more to say besides things revolving around these two themes please leave.

Absolutly, Giant Death Robots trump everything! They're big, they're strong, they say awesome phrases, what more could you want?

I corrected your spelling and grammatical errors. I corrected what I could understand anyway.

Your inferior spelling and lack of professionalism, make me sick. Well for once you used you instead of "u".

p.s. Sorry Perfection I had to do that.
