The Theoretical Role/position of mechs on the battlefield

Mechs will never replace tanks. Legs are an overcomplicated and inefficient engineering solution compared to wheels and tracks. Raising the profile is also tantamount to suicide.

Now hang on! If you don't have mechs, what is going to hold that cannon that takes out the world in one shot? Besides, you might as well build a blitzball stadium next to the mech factory.

You need none of that. It will fit in your hand.

What is blitzball?

The whole thread is a bit moot, as mechs will not be in the game - !

[VetLegion]

Did we already have this thread or is my memory playing tricks on me?

[Nikolai]

Actually, when you mention it, I think we have.

[Shogun Gunner]

I thought it was "Death Defying Robots" or something like that.

That made about as much sense.

[VetLegion]

Giant Death Robots or something...

[Shogun Gunner]

yeah, that's it....

Here's the link...

Ah, what a fun thread that was...

Lots of good points have been raised against mechs, thankfully. They're just not a viable weapon system.

I would like to see an extra era of tech in CIV4, but only to
the 'Starship Troopers'-style updated 21st century hardware.

Giant Gundam robots are interesting, but too outrageous
for anything but a game dedicated to them.

Mechs are bad . . . . . .


okay?

especially the gas mileage.

Not with a fusion engine, no you don't.
