Hunter, you are my new god. Well actually, your more of a lesser god, right after Kinboat, who is like Ra or Anubis, but you are up there man, like, um, the gator one, whatever it was called.
I hope its of use I have always liked the civ industrial fort but trenches just felt more appropriate. The were in use from the start of the industrial era till... well in some cases to a lesser degree even today.
O and Im becoming a WW1 nut to. Next up the Kwagon and Char2c.
They have a lot of aspects from real trenches (or at least look like they do) They have the front line trench, second line, the communication trench, a machinegun pillbox, even a listening-post (the little trench that sticks out up front)
I can tell you now, if won't be long lines of interconnecting trenches. This just replaces the fort, that's all.
Personally, although my first opinion of this graphic has not changed, since I use fortresses as static army-storing spots, I find the trenches to be too temporal for my garrison purposes...
But since Conquests also has barricades, I took the liberty to add them by copy/pasting a new pillbox and adding some grey stuff resembling barbed wire. (I'm still waiting for Hunter's "ok" for these, but I believe I'll get it. )
Since in WW1 it was the soldiers themselves who dug the trenches, I think it would be appropriate to give the ability to build fortresses to infantry.
I know, the idea isn't new and has been proposed for the legionary, too.
IIRC the only problem was that the AI didn't use this ability. But I heard that in one of the Conquest scenarios (I don't play them. Just epic games) the legionaries were given exactly this ability. Now my question to the Conquest-scenario-players: Does the AI use this ability? And if yes, will this also work in an epic game?
BTW: I love this graphics! Maybe it would be possible to extend the trenches a little bit, so that neighbouring trench-tiles look like a connected system?
