Looks cool, and nice to see someone making an AoS besides UnholyUrine. (Breach doesn't count 'cause it's not really started...) I want to play it when it's done.

WMC entry, I take it?

EDIT: Please explain something... When you said "Create an army", do you get to build your own units? 'Cause that's what it sounded like to me.

Your trolltag is twinArmageddons and you tend two 2peak wiith a biit of a lii2p.

In response to your edit, you create units that are given to your computer allied force, which is then directed to attack towards enemy base. Multitasking units can abused with upgrades and massing.

So it's like an AoS / Spawn D hybrid, then? Sounds like it could be interesting. If it needs testing, you know where to find me.

Yup thanks for offering tests.

Yeah army creation = cash. It's like AoS + Spawn / Income defense.
I will update classes and skills soon.

It works because Echo says so. The explaination would be too difficult for normal humans to understand. :D

I like the concept of the map.

So you're saying that if I invest 5 Billion Dollars in a Nation's Military, it will somehow generate income for Me?
I'd at least understand kills...

Quick question: In the Firebat's description you mentioned a "mobile suit"... What is that?

Your trolltag is twinArmageddons and you tend two 2peak wiith a biit of a lii2p.

No. These are snow soldiers. Making fighting snowmen is an accomplishment to be proud of. The currency of this game is self-esteem.
