Idea: Diamond

Post by lamefun »

Alien defense: a fake diamond that is so beautiful that humans can't resist looking at it (locks human aim onto itself with a limited ability to resist). Give it 200 HP and 16 BP cost.

As random as I think this is, I actually really, REALLY like this idea. I think it's totally great! In fact, it could be a trapper upgrade or replacement.

Advantages I see,

  1. New builders don't waste BP by building one because no matter where it is located it will be useful. On the flipside, trappers built on the floor are useless and that's not immediately apparent to new builders.

  2. High BP cost and the fact that it is a "one time use" building makes it seem that spamming it will be impossible because of the BP loss from them being killed.

  3. Aliens need good defensive structures that aren't gimicks that can be circumvented and this one makes sense. Perhaps it sends spores that infect the human brain through their armor unless they are wearing a bsuit or something like that.
