Hovercraft
Introduction:
Same
as
like
in
Kalyp:
Have
the
player
use
hovercrafts,
starting
with
just
the
basic
Quill,
Scalpel,
and
Mace
hovercrafts
(
and
maybe
Daggers
as
well)
,
to
fight
in
both
land
and
water,
against
a
mix
of
land-only
and
sea-only
units.
Only
this
time,
let's
keep
the
enemy
from
building
Seawolves.
I'd
much
rather
want
to
save
having
to
deal
with
submerged
units
for
a
different
mission
altogether.

Hovercraft

vs
Amphbots:
You
need
to
break
through
lines
of
Cerberus
artillery
emplacements
and
Desolator
turrets
to
reach
an
artifact.
Fortunately,
the
Halberd
is
designed
to
be
fast
and
sturdy
enough
to
break
through
such
defensive
lines.
Use
them
to
break
through
the
defenses,
and
destroy
the
Pylons
that
provide
them
with
power
to
give
the
rest
of
your
forces
the
opportunity
to
make
a
push
towards
the
artifact.
Be
warned
that,
at
the
same
time,
an
enemy
force
is
assaulting
you
with
Amphbots.
Use
Gauss
turrets
to
protect

from

(
So
yeah,
this
is
basically
similar
in
structure
to
New
Falsell,
where
Phantoms
were
needed
to
shut
down
enemy
defenses
that
block
your
Commander's
path
to

you

to
make
a

that

By the way, since terrain navigation is such an important aspect of Zero-K to master, could the hovercrafts be introduced at about the same time as, say, Rovers. Moreover, since Amphbots might require more skill to both handle and counter than hovercrafts, could they be unlocked at about the same time as ships, and could they likewise be as difficult to unlock as, say, tanks, spiders, and gunships?
