Didn't you say somewhere you could see what people voted? And I chose no. Actually, he can only see who voted in the poll overall. He can't see exactly who voted what, though.

Make a recon plane. Make Radar tower. When big machine shows up, send recon plane. Formulate plans with newly acquired info. If attacking, send recon plane. Formulate plans with newly acquired info. Like I just said, not every army has the time to keep tabs on every stupid Mech around. >_>

Well, YEAH it's vicious. I don't know about you, but the banner on the top of the main page says "Super Mushroom Kingdom WARS", not "Super Mushroom Kingdom Playground."
You can't prepare for everything that comes your way, and you can't say that being unprepared for it makes it unfair. Being unprepared makes a battle exciting; if you were completely ready for anything that the others threw at you, it would take the thrill out of it.

I'm going to assume that you haven't heard of the phrase "Vicious cycle" by your response, 'cause you'd probably be saying something differently if you had, or knew what it means. Also, Rydon, just knowing what's coming to attack you only gets you prepared; it's not as if you can whip up a bunch of extra projects before they get to you. There's really no way to be prepared unless you focus on one and continue to make defenses against it. Because it's one war machine that continually gets better, it's going to have a whole lot more than various types of firepower. But, just forget it, I'm not going to change half the forum's mind like I did last time with exams coming up.

Why should you have to make extra projects? If you're not prepared to be attacked, then your motto probably is "The best Defense is a good Offense."

But then your attackers wouldn't have the defense/protection they'd need to survive whatever this exemplary Mech has.
Edit: And as much as the armies would have time to keep watch on the Mechs, they certainly wouldn't have the time to attack them.

WD, let's just try it. If we don't take any risks, then there will not be any change. Good or bad. The bigger the risk, the bigger the chance for reward. And if we make mistakes, then we do have the power to fix them. However, if we don't try something, then we can never have the chance to make the wars more active and engaging.
We can tweak it, but let's just see. Mercenaries are not overpowered, and they have one Hero always getting projects.

I think the biggest problem with this is that like a Mercenary, I doubt the Mechanic will ever die. It's already hard enough just to wipe out 1 of 5 bandits or even a common Hero.
Even if an army "wins", that army will be badly set back compared to the other armies while the Merc. or Mechanic escapes with their lives every time.

*Thought bubble image* Mech:MWAHAHAHA i win you noobs. i pwn joo, *1000 air troops charge, doging shots and 10 survive and crack the the glass cockpit window and kill mech. Army wins.*
See my point. If you got 10+ troops into that ship by any means, you win.

If you got 10+ troops into that ship by any means, you win. Right, because a Mech user would certainly be an idiot enough to have a glass cockpit window. Also, a standard war mod wouldn't let a whole player get killed that easily; sure, when folks are trying to get a rule passed or escape a god-mod claim, they'll talk about how easy it is all they want, but the mods have yet to become consistent with it or do it at all.
