Edit: is it possible to make packing and unpacking take 2 turns instead of 1? Maybe something similar to how the build road ability works?

[L4cus]

u can have 3 phases: 1 deployed, packed and the middle one. so the deployed can transform into the middle one, the middle one can transform into the deployed or the packed, and the packed can transform into the middle one...

Could only be implemented with carry limitation of no workers or much weaker.

And thinking of an image for all - it won't be easy - I have no idea how to represent it.

[L4cus]

maybe blockhouse could work for it

Actually the idea would be to mainly protect workers near the frontlines o.o. Maybe it could be categorized as a structure, so that anti-building damage would affect it more than if it were a siege machine?

[Endru1241]

But having workers being fragile to attacks of fast striking units and archers is part of balance to not make defending too easy.

I was only thinking of making some repair ability usable on walls, gates (maybe bridges too), be able to be used from protected inside. Not a way to construct new towers.

If workers were able to be used from heavy structure/machine it would mean the end of any possible anti-worker raids, even without huge investments in defensive infrastructure.
You'd have to get siege equipment for that, thus once again shifting balance point further from armies.

Hm, yeah, this would probably be better.

What about warbanners? They protect units inside (except for some weirdnesses I mentioned in another topic) and allow builders to build from inside, while only costing 4 turns to build, and can get up to 80 hp with masonry and massive walls.

Wait, what?
You mean Great Flag building?
The one giving High Morale aura?

It's not protecting units inside.
Carried units are always damaged first.

[phoenixffyrnig]

No, it's the other way round with Great Flag. You have to destroy the building before you can harm the unit.

[Endru1241]

Sorry - my fault.
I forgot to put version changes text and indeed - IS_CARRIED_DAMAGABLE spec is only added in my pack.

[b2198]

Oh, it's called Great Flag, sorry, partial translation issue, and for some reason this time I didn't open my bluestacks version (which is fully in english) to confirm the names like I usually do. Time to edit my other topic lol.

D: I didn't think that was op, but that might be biased, since it's not common for me to see other players using it like that.
