Giant walking trees

Cheers for that mallan, but the sticky clearly is marked as "read before posting"... We've had ideas like multiple builders assigned to one project etc fly past hundreds of times (I know this idea is different, but it's an example).

The idea of motivating an idea is to actually think things through and being able to provide useful input in the idea, rather than finding out, after an hour of posting and wasting time on the forum, that it's unsuitable, not practicle or simple infeasible.

The idea of a giant tree stomping on buildings is funny on its own, but how to train trees, how to deploy, etc... A tree would not add anything new to the game, just combine some of the features of a giant and archer. So in my opinion, no use at all. Looking at the number of other reactions (none), I tend to think the idea isn't useful.

We want new ideas well thought of, to actually make it a lot easier for SC to implement.

Thanks!

Sorry they have thoughts like that. maybe its my 20+ years as a toolmaker, but the idea that management says something isn't feasible is just a challenge to to creative minds. And with new players coming in all the time, a blanket "We discussed that" Just doesn't fly. You could be telling a full blown programmer "Shut up we don't want your opinion."

I'm actually encouraging him to think it through better. Give stats, a well thought of construction plan, and make it easy for SC to implement... I'm not shooting down, it certainly IS feasible, it would not add anything, so why bother. If it would add anything, the idea was not properly motivated. In fact, it wasn't AT ALL.

Part of Brainstorming sometimes is Just pitching a rough idea, and letting others flesh things out. Its a forum, with tons of members and thousands of ideas, Why force one player to think of everything? That seems like a great way to round file a idea.

At my work we have a thing called employee involvement. Where someone brings up a topic of interest, and the coworkers either brainstorm or dismiss a suggestion. I find these Mini mods "Shut up" posts to be... rude and uncalled for. If a thread is redundant, its the Mods job to say so and take care of.

We do have suggestions on how a Treant could fit into the game, so what now?

Would it take triple damage from Valks, since they use axes?

You say 'slaps down' flying troops rather than killing them. Does that mean they are still alive on the ground? Can they take of again in a certain about of time but be vulnerable to ground defenses until then?


Haters leave me alone, I am quite aware this will never get adopted, no need to get on soapboxes about it. Its just that whether an idea has any chance or not its still fun to think it through. Especially when I have to wait for my spells to recover before I can raid again.

I wouldn't see triple, Double would be a good place. Specially since Valkyries can hit with splash damage. Nice idea, adding a negative to the positives is always a good thing.
