After having received the transmitted image by scout 214 it was decided several groups of squads would try to take a closer look at the coordinates the scout mentioned.

Three hours later.
The squad arrived at the last known location of the scout. One of the squad members used his binoculars and said "Over there, I think I see it." He pointed at something in the distance. "Let me see that," the squad leader said. He used his own binoculars "Hmmmm." The squad leader, a corpulent guy in his early forties, thought about it for a moment. "Your orders, sir?" asked another member. "Allright. You, you, you, you.." the squad leader pointed out several squad members, roughly the amount of half of the squad. "Go check out that structure. Approach it with extreme caution. I will stay behind you lads with the other squad members, making sure no enemies attack you from behind."

The squad members nodded and the ones appointed to go first, slowly walked towards the base, using whatever they could find as cover just in case.

The squad leader instructed the remaining squad members to stay on guard and told one of them to use the video camera he brought. "Get as much footage as you can while staying alert."

Both groups worked hard and things seemed quite silent. "Don't get too close," the squad leader warned. The groups could communicate easily via a radio device in their BMAS, Bio Mechanical Armour Suits. "Yes sir." was the reply.

It started to get a little darker. The squad leader ordered his members to turn homewards. "I think we got enough footage now, let us go home." Invisible to anyone, each squad member had a smile of relief on their face.

I am supprised how good aliens construction yard looks
I think the defence should have a glowing activate anim.

Is that grass blowing in the wind?

Anyway, awesome style buildings although I don't like the build ups... maybe they could rise from rock out of the ground like the TD Hand of Nod.

[Jeeves]

Awesome, Very.

[Gosho]

Shit. Holy.

Gaffel: Active animations with LoopCount=-1 carry over to the next ugrade stage, so not possible. At least it got firing animations. It is a small sacrifice for unique side characteristics imo

OmegaBolt: It is blowing in the wind I have 3 buildup styles for the aliens, these egg/cacoon shapes are just for basic buildings. I might change it into something else though. How does the HON buildup look in TD then? I have not been able to play it since I changed OS to XP so do not recall...

Thanks for the comments and a big thank you Blaat for doing the followup news

Well some rock basically came out of the ground with the Hand sticking out of the top, then the rock crumbled off to leave the building underneath since TD HON was basically a lump of rock with a door and giant hand anyway.

Ah I see, will try to mimic that then and have a poll to see what people prefer
