Hello everyone!
To start off the week, we have a question about defense and structures!
Burek asks: What kind of defensive structures will we see in Earthrise, like turrents etc. and will they be manned or controlled by AI, and if it's the latter, what would be the extent of the AI.
Defense is important. Even the most reckless of Continomian soldiers know that simple fact. And when it comes to defense, outside of the contested territories few come close to the versatility of the characters who specialize in nanite control.
In Earthrise, defensive structures will be one of the most important building types that you can equip your contested territory with, allowing you to keep the enemy away and give you an advantage in combat. Players will be able to build different types of defensive turrets, with upgrades providing either additional raw destructive power or different attack qualities that plays with the opponent's weaknesses. Enhancing the defensive walls of your contested territory has a lot to do with survivability, too - unless you invest in a good protection, your enemy will simply rush through your defenses and will give you little time to plan your defensive tactics. Outside of the contested territories, it is up to the players to provide protection.
Feel free to discuss below. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next developer's chat!
