is there an in game description of buildings?

[Jesse]

there doesn't seem to be one...which just seems ridiculous.

[Wolle]

it would be nice, i have no idea what half the buildings do.

yes, true ... i win, i place what i have been told ... but i have no idea of what i am doing ... the game seems to be nice, but a wiki (a better than the existing) would be sweet

The game's missions explain what each building/unit is for.

while that is true, it would be nice to have a short discription of what the thing actually does. I like to play games like this in spurts. sometimes taking months off. and when i get back to the game i'll sometimes forget what each tower does.
So, for a game like this, i'd either have to go find the mission in which its explained in detail, or look it up online. When a simple tool tip would suffice. Like with the Tarps or whatever it's called, hover over it with your mouse and just have something like "Can change the terrain"

not to mention i still really don't understand the difference between anti-creeper and just regular weapons and i don't remember at all what the game said when i first got it :P

Well... the way i think of the anti creeper goo is that the sprayer and the bombers are making a field thats harmfull for the creeper and prevents/slows it from moving in that direction.
while the regular guns just atttack it.

The game explains what they all do the first time you get them, and they're all extremely simple. If for whatever reason you forgot what they do or didn't pay attention the first time, you can go to https://knucklecracker.com/wiki/doku.php?id=cw3:units and see what they all do.

Anticreeper slows creeper advance but isn't really meant to deal significant dmg. Use it to quickly establish save zones to build on when doing an assault towards and emitter.

Play Apex and tell me again that AC doesn't deal significant damage. :) Or try one of the many AC maps in Colonial Space.

I'd say anti creeper is probably the best for dealing heavy damage. I know I wouldn't get anywhere if it wasn't for the sprayer and bomber to help me cleanse an area, plus it stacks with itself so you can fill an entire area with it and guarantee that creep won't get near your units. Definitely more useful than standard units.
