i have a new idea for a support tower. you can launch for many pockets a single bullet somewhere on the map. that will burn a part of the creepers away. sometimes more than a other time.
so a missile silo?
sort of, but with a burn rocket, not explosion.
so napalm?
you can call it napalm, or just burning creepers
I'd call that field artillery. Like a howitzer.
@katra
yeah, perfect definition
No, it shouldn't be mobile, something like drones but with single missiles, a surface to surface missile like a V1.
kinda like the nuclear silos in total annihilation lol, missile takes forever to build but causes devestation wherever it hits

Maybe "MCoTD" (Massive Construction of Total Desctruction) which will make you win after completing is not such a bad idea... it should be something just for map builders to create story-based interesting alternative to connecting all totems.

Back to the bomber idea...

This is just the same like drone, but instead of damage over time by repeated bomb run it makes damage over time by burning. So what should be exactly new?

But this is so close to a mortar, I don't see the advantage. Fly a mortar somewhere, let it fire off its load and fly it back.

Does the word "Thor" mean anything to you?

The missle will be much more effective than a mortar shell (something like an explosion of a mine), but on the other hand it's expensive cause you'll need more than say 10 ammo packets to build one.
And BTW, drones are closer to mortars anyway, they also drop mortar shells and do just as much damage.

Of course it does, but:
1) You cannot set the cost of Thor
2) It does not couse victory, only ensures it (and you still must connect totems) :-)
3) It was already used it campaign so it is problematic to use in future creations ;-)
This sounds alot like a flamethrower tower :P
Maybe there can be one.....
