War elephants equipped with machine guns - need we say more?
Greetings, associate!
We've got our noses to the grindstone as we continue to bolster the unit editor with more options and upgrades for you to play around with. Our first bit of news - shields from all sorts of materials will now be visible on infantrymen. Check them out below ;)
New Ballista variants have also been added, which means you will be able to actually tell whether your war elephant is equipped with a crude wooden ballista or an upgraded version.
The ballista is an assault weapon used to break through the enemy's front line. Simple versions of the ballista do not require strategic resources to create, but they will do less damage. Copper ballistas do moderate damage, while bronze ones deal high damage and have higher penetration ability. Of course, making them out of iron or titanium will greatly increase their effectiveness.
Below is another example of how an ordinary battle elephant from the first epoch can be transformed into a formidable weapon. How exactly? By equipping it with a small machine gun turret of the third epoch. Like any automatic weapon, it can fire in bursts and deal heavy damage to infantry.
On the right is a model of the rocket artillery. It's a low-damage weapon with a high range. By upgrading the missiles, you can vastly improve its damage output.
That is all for this week. As usual, more cool updates are coming your way in the next communiqué!
Yours faithfully,
