Wouldn't it be best to go for Cloud Piercer regardless? Even when MCV was on Loom, Spinblades was too good to pass up. I had an easier early game as Foehn by opening with a C.P. to boost eco.

As L.B. my build order is something like
Barracks -> Refinery -> Power Plant -> War Factory (2x minermites, jackal/lancer) -> 4x Minermites + Refinery -> Cloud Piercer -> Loom -> Get spinblade -> $$$$$$

[CLAlstar]

In theory yes. In practice, i see players not placing any spinblades 20 minutes into the game.

Some ideas for the defensive factions.

- Bastion wall: LB exclusive. Costs $150. Is 75% more durable than normal Foehn walls. Normal Foehn walls renamed to "Foehn Walls". Replaces normal Foehn walls.

- Heavy Battle Bunker: China Exclusive. Costs $800. Is 25% more durable than battle bunkers. Garrisons 8 infantry. Replaces battle bunkers.

- Wall of Light: EA exclusive. Costs $250. Is essentially a laser fence from TibSun (in the form of prism technology). Is T2.

- Geno Node: HQ exclusive. Costs $800. Boosts nearby infantry armour by 50%. Is T2.

I think that in order to make fury drones more usefull we should scrap the digging and make them work as normal terror drones that explode to deal damage to infantry and tanks

Alternatively, could base it closer to Starcraft 2's Widow Mine, where it could rearm itself after a long period of time and/or target air.

Sweeper is a Widow Drone. Also, Fury Drones useless? First time hearing this.

These all seem to be defensive subfactions

 

I like the Geno Node idea, because it would be fun with Rahn + Brutes + Irkalla. 

 

Heavy Battle Bunker would be annoying to deal with, because China is already the best turtling faction in the game. Radiation basically destroys everything, EMP is one of the best support powers, and all Soviets have industrial plants. 

 

Wall of Light sounds like Comet Fence.

Guess how many fury drones are needed to knock out a ConYard immediately.

[Damfoos]

You are forgetting the fact that fury drones are intended to be mobile anti-army mines, not spammable walking Ivan bombs. Yet their most appropriate purpose is killing buildings, because they are the most reliable against those.

Can foehn be given gates?

[BotRot]

Can foehn be given gates?

They have stealth grids (and the Blasticade, in a way) that technically perform the same role: blocking enemy advances, so adding gates would be somewhat redundant

[Derxwna Kapsyla]

Yes but the grids and the blasticade don't look as good as a gate when it comes to making nice and orderly bases for posterity value, that's probably the main issue people have with Foehn's lack of gates.

[FELITH]

Stungrid can't stop Malver from getting into your base.

 

...I think Support Superweapon should be enabled by default. the Superweapon setting on lobby will be only for Offensive Superweapon.

can foenh revolt given airbase and aircraft?

because foenh dont have airbase building and buildable aircraft like another faction

Edited by Zmgg, 03 October 2017 - 10:28 AM.

[Handepsilon]

It doesn't need to. That's the faction's characteristic. Their aircraft can hover indefinitely.

[FELITH]

At least they should have one for Tech Airfield. maybe Confusion Aircraft too op? ,Stealth Searching Aircraft(fastest jet in game) ?

[BotRot]

I believe the idea for acquiring new aircraft when capturing a Tech Airfield did not make it to the final release of 3.3.

 

An aerial detector (and a ridiculously fast one)? That could make SODAR Array and other Foehn detectors near obsolete.

 

Salamander counts as a "confusion aircraft" but it's not available to Foehn so yeah...

[Handepsilon]

I don't agree with adding new unit for Tech Airfield capture exclusive to Foehn, but I do believe they need incentive to actually take it. 2 Frames and 1 Lancer drop really looks underwhelming

[BotRot]

Perhaps make the Tech Airfield a drop zone for Knightfall? Then again, it would be somewhat illogical imo and only Wings of Coronia benefits from this 

[FELITH]

How about getting access to build Neutral Light Aircraft from Tech Airfield only for scout or maybe transportable for Paratrooper. possible?
