Transport??

[mungers]

Will there be any transport units in Emperor that allow you to carry infantry across the battlefield before deploying them??? That would be cool!!, like 10 infantry to a transport, you take 5 transports roll up to the enemy and out jump 50 units!! Result!!! Does the advanced carryall allow you to carry infantry???

You would probably have to put them in some sort of transport vehicle first. Otherwise you would have people loading up Carryalls with Engineers. Having to put them in a vehicle first gives the other person time to react I guess.

You know that is not bad idea. I hate seeing my Eng. get slaughtered on the battlefield uselessly.:( The transport idea would atleast give them a better fighting chance. Or you know what would be funny have a "rogue" harvester going to the refinery and then all of a sudden out come your Eng./or other Infantry units to take over/attack the building(s) or what ever on the base.:D

It is a good idea, imagine a fleet of air transports dropping an army of parachute engineers over the enemy base.:D

The Trojan Harvestor. lol :)

[quoudam72]

Just don't parachute them where there are rocket turrets and/or missile tanks or your glory could be short lived.

Of course not, must be AA defences, if not was too easy, but see your transports shooted down, falling in a burning fireball over the enemy for the glory of your house must be a great spectacle.

Logically even a infantry unit would be able to shoot them down. I think they overlooked the fact people can shoot up when they made dune 2000.

I never actually mentioned a "Flying transport". I was actually refering to a ground-based tank unit, like an armoured carrier or something, but hey!! Flying transports would work too!!
