Super-superweapons

EDIT: In case it was not clear, I AM NOT SERIOUS.




And so it came to pass that sFireman needed more than a det. In one particular large team game on RustyDelta, sFireman had 300 metal second personally... And didn't know what to do with his metal after he finished his starlight.

Hence, burp came up with the suggestion of a line of super-superweapons with cost of "you can't afford it" and power of "I win".

Ideas?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Ultra-Cloak
24k buys you a Det.
476k buys the Det a super-cloak that never drops. The Det can shoot, take damage and walk next to things and it will not decloak.

2) Mobile Rapidfire Nuclear Cannon
Huge spiderbot the size of multiple Dets. Fires as fast as a DiscoRaveParty, but shoots nuclear missiles.

Or if you want the lolz, it can be the size of a TA peewee.

3) Planetary Defence Grid
Fires homing tactical nukes at a rate of 1 per second around half Starlight range.
Projects a uber-shield of the same range with enough strength and regen to tank a continuously firing nuclear silo. And it links to the whole maps
-> all shield units now have essentially unlimited shield power

We could just take the hero units from TA.

It would be cool to add some ridiculous expensive units, as it doesn't unbalance things.

+1 for Nuke Cannon and MegaShield

EDIT: In case it was not clear, I AM SERIOUS.

I've always wanted a skirmisher unit that shoots nukes as its primary weapon. Not little taknukes - the real kind. Skip the Black Dawn, I want the Nuclear Dawn.

I was thinking a simpler idea for a superweapon: 100 buildpower infinite-range nanolathe with the Athena buildlist. Spawn units anywhere on the map whenever you like, reclaim like a beast, etc. The kind of trolling you could do with landscaping would be obscene.

To be more serious, you need a scaling metal sink unit.

It's simple really, just get a normal unit, make it able to morph to two of itself. Sucks metal from your pool, splits like puppies.

Have it be reasonably expensive, like 1k each. If they can split every 30 seconds, the doubling rate will eventually overwhelm any possible eco.


Basically, a goliath that has 35bp and only itself on the buildlist.

Hell's Furnace:
Remotely lower circular patches of terrain (range: starlight). Instead of water you get ... LAVA!

Giant red button the size of ten factories. Labeled "DO NOT PUSH".

Can be pushed by having a few hundred thousand metal worth of units stand on it.

When pushed, causes all enemy units to self-destruct.

The Yoyo Machine:
Strider, the ultimate weapon against flea and glaive spam. Ejects 100 metal balls (look like demolition balls) on pieces of elastic. Each ball does 500 damage when it hits something, damage reduced at maximum range. Ball trajectory has a slight arc so it does not blunder into wreckage that much. Range ... about 1200 so it acts as AA too to smash those rapier balls to bits.

I want to see cannon that will firing nukes at insane rate, like 1 nuke/sec
And some king of mothership, like a krow, but much-much stronger and powerful for insane cost like 100000m or even more.

... what? Do Welders have some special power of reproduction that I have failed to notice? Or is it just the fun of "cons with guns, spam 1 unit and eat the map!"
