Ok

1. For anyone who can mod it:
Give the brain a little gun, just a pistol or something as a last resort. It'd hang underneath and look a bit like a tiny turret, use it if you want

2. For Data:
We need a message to say something like "Unit 2 Sighted Enemy" "Unit 2 Under fire" "UNIT 2 DOWN, UNIT 2 DOWN". if you're down a whole you don't want to have to keep changing actors to see what's going on.

Cool ideas mate. A while ago I had an the idea of the brain having a gun.

Number one bad, number two good. The Brain just shouldn't have a gun, it wouldn't make any sense(Not that any of the game makes alot of sense, but you know).

Agreed. I like the unit down thing though, but how would you determine what a unit is?

I'm not sure if you can attach an arm to a brain actor, anyway.

haha i could see a brain holding a tiny little pistol

Eh, I don't like them. The brain could easily fend of enemies from far away with a pistol because they don't really spot the brain untill they're pretty close up.

And the second one is just laziness, but I suppose it's alright. I'd prefer a system where if your unit is not on screen there's a little tab with hp/name on it on the side of the screen in the direction they're in. It dissappears when they die, and as you move around it moves around the screen in the direction that the unit is.

the second one is a good idea but its data's choice

Wheres the option for both bad?

the second one

Hmm... I think it should have some sort of defence, but not a gun... maybe a gas launcher...

I like the fact that the brain is very vulnerable. It puts more emphasis on using your units wisely. I like the second idea though, but it might get confusing if you have several units. I like what Daman said about little tabs on the side of the screen. Maybe the tabs could be numbered, then the "Unit #" thing would be easier to use.
