Overrated to Overlord General

Jordan's Photo Jordan 19 Oct 2008

What if we changed up the Overrated General a bit, and gave it the best in heavy firepower? As in having everything being based off of an Overlord, even the aircraft. Not sure how you would do that with infantry though.

Of course, this would still be balanced, since almost everything would require a Propaganda Center to build.

What do you think?

If so, then all the stuff could go to Kwai then.

Units havening insane firepower, but weaker in other areas? Might work. Though IDK about most things being post-tech. Would make early game too hard for the player.

How about just basing all the models off the overlord, but having the firepower similar to the respective units (BM, etc)?

Just Overlord ripped units with insane looks and beastly cannons, with measly battlemaster firepower.

That's overrated :cool:

^ This. There's a difference between "overrated" and "overpowered".

i'm totally for this idea but may need to take out the barracks as not to make it to difficult to make infantry unless you make them overlord-infantry cross cyborgs(which would totally pwnsome).

I know. Define overrated, and then look at my post again, I don't think you get it.

I was agreeing with you... When I said "^this", I meant "I agree with this post ^" It's just that the original idea was to have everything based off an overlord, including firepower, which would be overpowered, even if it all needed a propaganda centre.

Overlord Hats.

I still say give the Overrated general weapons that look way cooler than they are. (IE. Spiral deathbeam infantry: Fires gigantic laser blasts that do only a little more damage than regular missiles.)
