I see Genesis point, advertising in common ideas many people has posted and none were taken:
---- New Basic Units ----
Similar to the super weapon idea explained above, we often get suggestions for more units like tanks, advanced fighters, cyborgs etc.
Comments -
We currently have a balanced system, and it is unlikely to change anytime soon. The reason we have so few units is to keep the game simple. It appeals to a larger player base and forces people to think to win their battles. What is the point of having a new unit that really will serve no other purpose other than to exist, remember there are not many variable we can apply to a new unit. The only variable we really have is attack bonus, which is already taken care of by droids. So there is no need, and there will never be one.
=============
Now, why keep this thread opened when many other threads about new units were closed?? is this cooler than the others?? the rules of ideas thread has changed?? idk but let me hand you the solution:
If the modteam CAN and WANT to add new units NOW, first of all they will open a thread looking for ideas
If they dont open a thread then they should consider THIS and the many many others left behind in this forum and make a list of them so people who had good ideas in the past are in equal chances their idea is implemented.
This said, any new unit added to the game should be tested in a test gal like AD before making it official, and sadly AD has been closed for ages
