Healing of damaged units?

[dtrotzjr]

Anyone know if this is possible? Or how? Do units advance in rank, so that they get better at shooting, and heal themselves as they become veteran warriors?

[DBZ-GOKU-]

Currently, this is not implemented into the game, but it could be a feature added later...You never know...:)

[frodo]

Only wizards can heal units. And there are no wizards on planet iscarus.

Maybe Andy/Fox can have "bandaid" to give to units?

[slimjimninja]

Lol do u know how ridiculously old this post is frodo?

andy and fox units replenish their health to 100% when health is 0<100

but andy/fox can't heal/repair other units. and they are not wizards with magic, so they would need to give out band-aids. and they can use a monkey wrench to fix tanks.

[galm]

Lol u got shot 3 times don't worry this bandaid will heal u!

[Mithoz]

Healing units makes the game just a whole lot more complicated..

[sam]

how does it mat alot of rts games have (eg ) starcraft 2 , warcraft and alot more

[Mithoz]

The game is too short to worry bout healing/ repairing your units. Most games we play is at most 5mins. When you play other games they last like 20+mins..

[Dr. Diggles]

Healing units would complicate things. I guess the added option is cool

[galm]

It would be ok if it were slowed paced but I like the speed.

has anyone made a price of this medic or his or her ability to fightor heal and strenght or range of healing power? cause with out those then it sounds like your all unready for this enhancement

[galm]

No fighting security guard range, 450?

[Dr. Diggles]

galm wrote:

Approved, but $650

[galm]

Or even 750 depending on how fast they heal.

[Mithoz]

maybe you can upgrade the skills of your medic? one that can heal humans one that can heal tanks?

or upgrade so they heal faster?

[trineroks]

There should be an upgrade in the R&D called "Regenerating Power Armor"

Gives your infantry health recovery like Andy and Fox

[Dr. Diggles]

I want a unit to convert enemy troops. Like a priest from age of empires. Maybe a unit that spraypaints the enemy tanks to your army color.

Edit: sorry off topic

why not just a replicator look alike so only one enterence and one exit. when it comes out with full health.the amount of time to pull your damaged tanks out of your army and put them through one at a time. should give the enemy enough time to attack or heal their tanks too. so only selected maps would made with it.

LOL at the spraypaint.
OMNI tank: hehehe time to kick some ACME arse
Some guy comes by and spraypaints the Broadsword blue
Blue OMNI tank: NUUUU NOW I MUST OWE MY ALLEGIANCE TO ACME

@Wondy something like a repair bay? That would be legit.

Makes them ninja cos they color of galaXite.

I'm a fan of repair bays

Wonderers idea sounds cool if that was in it would be a did game.

;-P thanks i give half creadit to trine he helped get me to think

[slimjimninja]

I have a straightforward solution: Medics and mechanics.

The medic could be mechanically competent .

The repair bay is cool idea too and could be in addition to the medic.

[rant]Sadly, no enhancement requests will be implemented anytime soon...
If Scott could get a team together or pass over the game to some devs than we can get these requests taken care of. But he won't even check in. [/rant]

Maybe the raider can double as a medic/engineer

Nice! So a Macguiver raider lol.
Fixs hydra, heals troop, steals yo base. What a pimp lol.

Edit: but I think this pimp unit should only be able to heal/fix a selected group one time. Each unit could heal/fix once. Then take base.

The medicanic raider sounds better and it fixes all tanks and heals all infantry including other medicanic raiders. Kind of like M&Ms (marines and marauders/marines and medivacs) or M&M&Ms (marines and marauders and medivacs) in Starcraft 2.

[wonderer]

if you have people that you can create to heal all of your army. the healer should be slow and have short range with his healing power plus cost more then a hq. i dont see a point in this cause the amount of time to build.

A healer unit shouldn't necessarily be that expensive and underpowered: we can make it so that one healer can target one damaged unit at a time, and the healing rate is similar to that of an Andy (slower than the rate at which the unit can take damage). We could also make the cost of the unit slightly cheaper than the raider (at around 400 galax). Keep in mind players would want a good balance of combat units and support units and we only have a supply max of 60. If, for instance, someone tries to attack another player with 30 security guards and 30 healers while the enemy has 60 security guards. The firepower of the 60 would destroy the 30 in a fair fight, and once those combat units are gone the healers are helpless.

get a healer to heal your andy and the andy will never die

Keep in mind that when an Andy is attacked, his suit does not recharge. It only recharges once the Andy has not been attacked for about 5 seconds. Therefore, in the heat of battle, an Andy will recover at a same rate as a security guard. It will heal double the speed only when it is not attacked.

[Mithoz]

im 99% sure that security guards cant heal. Ive played so many maps where they dont heal.

[trineroks]

LOL what?!?! When did I ever say security guards heal o__O

Pay attention guys (galm). We're talking about the healing rates of Andy and a security guard in the hypothetical situation of having a certain medic-type unit.

[valicious]

Medic isn't a bad idea but there should be a limit as to how many each one can heal.

[trineroks]

valicious wrote:

A one to one deal. One medic can heal one unit at a time.

[Cloud]

I think he meant like a healer can only heal a certain amount of times before it can no longer heal. Is that right val?

[frodo]

No. A healer can heal maybe 50 units max, only ONCE. Then they are a regular raider after that.

[valicious]

Cloud wrote:

Exactly! But it should also only be able to heal one unit at a time otherwise a player can put probably 3 medics in the middle of the battalion and let them stay there if the medics can heal multiple units in a specific range all at once. That would be a unwanted and complicated disadvantage to those who aren't so good in strategizing.

Medics arent likely to be implemented, they would make the wars not go as fast.

have to think postive that scottlu is working hard at work so he can retire and work none stop on this game

[galm]

Lol I meant it would change the game.

[Cloud]

Remember that we have to figure out what it looks like.
I also have an idea. How about we have heros in the game that only the medics can heal, and you can only have one out at a time. So instead of the healers being able to heal all troops, they can only heal the hero.

Or

We can have a smaller amout of troops allowed to be build at one time and have the troops vary in strength?
