Ah thanks for clarifying that @real_tabasco_sauce because i was literally clicking around the fort waiting for units to spawn lmao. honestly paying that much metal/wood just for extra default arrows feels kinda bad in a27. unless you are hard turtling those mats are way better spent on your actual army or rushing town centers

Classic-Burger is absolutely right, the core capture system needs a major overhaul before we even think about adding complex mechanics like faction unit recruitment. Right now, without a proper cooldown or assimilation process, introducing cross-faction recruitment would just lead to insane snowballing or broken 'cheese' strategies in high-level matches. I love the tactical depth it could bring to protecting key tech structures, but the balance nightmare of mixing faction bonuses and counters might be too much for the current meta to handle.

In theory, tunnels are a point A and a point B.They don't always appear as such, but they are more common in sci-fi or magic RTS games.

Good point.  5-6 teams may be useful, if using different ai levels though

create feature then people adapt...
