Idea List for Guns Up!

[Zelos]

The Possibilities..(Updated: 6/11/2018)

After spending about 60+ hours playing, the game is already beginning to feel reparative. Here we can comment and list new ideas for units, cards, and suggest other new concepts. More units/cards could be very helpful for both defending and also attacking bases (including those higher level ones that are rather hard) due to the current firing lane/choke point meta.

Units

• Robots (?)
  
• Smaller motorized units (jeep with gun?)
  
• Demo Expert (places mines/demo charge to clear walls?)
  
• Radio Operator (Calls in missile strikes, or airstrikes, or gun runs, or mortar fire?)

Cards

• Fire Bomb -> Napalm Strike (longer duration+wider area)
  
• CAS (Close Air Support)
  
• Fight Plane (maybe even kamikaze?)
  
• Mortar -> Artillery Barrage -> Railway Gun
  
• Missile Strike -> Missile Salvo (x3 missiles) -> Tomahawk Missile (higher power/blast radius)
  
• Paratroopers -> Paratroopers Mk. II (better guns and more units?)
  
• Army Surplus -> Large Army Surplus
  
• Fire Rate -> Fire Rate +
  
• Unit Damage -> Unit Damage +
  
• Unit Health -> Unit Health +
  
• Propaganda Leaflets (Temp. negates any AoE effecting (healing, dmg, and acc. buffs)
  
• UAV (not sure of purpose)
  
• Rifle Grenades for Grunts (?)
  
• Decoy -> Hologram (Longer duration?)
  
• Bombing Run -> Carpet Bombing (more bombs/tighter spacing of drop)

Misc/Game Ideas

• Weather (snow, rain, fog, etc.)
  
• Recycle cards for chance at keys
  
• Higher value of chest (Scraping) due to low chance of key drops
  
• More attack cards upgrades
  
• Upgraded version of units currently in-game (ex: Grunts -> Fire Team (+stats))
  
• Traps (Base placed items (like barrels))
  
• Base vs. Base!
  
• More music (Custom Music users can add for battles?)
  
• Unit upgrades/cards (Grunts can now throw grenades for ex?)
  
• Alliance Message Notification sound/image
  
• Supply Convoy using diffrent units/perks to assist in getting munitions.

User Suggest Ideas

  Attack cards that allows to spawn 2-3 units at once, i.e. not spawning 5 grunts for 100 ammo 3 times, but spawning 15 grunts for 300 ammo.
  Attack card that lowers deployment cooldowns.
  Perk card for increased range.
  
  For you UAV card effect, it could allow to scroll all the way to the right, without any friendly troops in the proximity.

  Increase the maximum number of decorations ...decorations would drop as normal loot.

  here's my personal short list for the game
  - ability to upgrade the deployment vehicle (truck with machinegun...halftrack with heavy machinegun..APC with dual HMG...IFV with light cannon)
  - upgrade barbed wire...double width (two barbed wire in one)..then triple...then 4...final upgrade would be concertina wire/razor wire...which also damages units as well as slows
  - a quad rocket launcher hero unit, long reload time, but fires 4 rockets in rapid succession...looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger from Commando (much like the Commando looks like Rambo x3)
  - mustard gas airstrike deployable...choke out the enemy troops with poison gas...maybe also introduce wind effects so that you have to be careful you don't gas your own troops with a sudden turn of wind
  - booby traps; pungee stake holes, swinging spike logs, assorted other guerilla warfare style traps...one use traps, may not always kill, but slows and damages
  - and lastly, the ability to place mines like other defenses; and directional mines like claymores with tripwires placed for them to be set off by

  
  

• Originally posted by ShadowIV:

  What about different unlockable variants of the transport truck, with different perks and defensive weapons? (Like a "Transport Tank" with a cannon instead of a machine gun and an extra 5000-10000 HP, or a "Tactical Truck" with a long-range mortar and a halved cooldown for supply drops? Also give the normal trrop a "+5 unit cap" or something.) Maybe also add some Command Card-like cards equippable to the transport truck, that would help you with attacking (Like maybe a card for better supply drops or occasionally spawning free units)?
  
  Also, what about more building types, especially more buildings that are obtained via cards? Examples:
  
  -Missile Silo: Like a mortar, but with a longer range, higher damage, more accuracy, and a way longer reload time? Upgrading it might make it shoot multiple missiles at once?
  
  -Turret: Basically a machine-gun turret that can be manned by one of your defending units?
  
  -A landmine as a building! Basically, it's a landmine special as a building. Upgrading it lets you add effects to it, like a fire patch or toxic cloud?
  
  -A trap that deploys a squad of units (that you select) when stepped on! Upgrading lets you have more squads of units in there?
  
  -More traps, and maybe some way to set up complex systems of traps that trigger each other and compliment your normal defense!
  
  -And let the current stuff (Burn Barrels, Toxic Barrels, Barbed Wire, etc.) be upgradable! Barbed wire could do small DoT and have more slowing power, Barrels could reduce HP, gain damage/effect, and eventually have a proximity trigger, etc.
  
  I could go on forever about that stuff!
  
  Anyways, what about having more cards?
  
  -Propaganda: A Special/Attack card. It would turn enemy troops on a small radius onto your side!
  
  -Sabotage: A special/attack card. It would level some/all enemy buildings one level!
  
  -HQ Weapons: A Command Card (Stackable). It would add various weapons to your HQ (Similar to HQ defender, but with different weapons). Examples include a long-range missile launcher, an autocannon or machine gun of some type, etc.
  
  -An "Experimental Weapon" card or something. It would be a transport truck card/an HQ card. When the truck or the HQ reaches half HP, it will become temporarily invincible and turn into a large mech with additional weapons and a lot more HP.
  
  Anyways, that's all* for now!
  
  (Keyword: For now :D)
  
  
  *And by "All" I mean "Probably not all-I'm probably going to post this and realize I forgot something :P"
  
  
  Edit: I forgot something. You know how one of the posters has a tank? Add vehicles! They would take no unit space up, and be manned by your units! They would have very long cooldowns and cost lots of munitions.
  
  -Tank: Would have a lot of HP, but would be very slow. Uses 2 units-First unit drives the tank/fires it's turret cannon, 2nd units fires from the tank's top hatch. Units shooting from vehicles would have drastically reduced accuracy, but only die when the vehicle dies.
  
  -Humvee (or something like it): Medium HP. Decently fast. 1 Unit drives the truck, and the other unit fires it's machine gun turret. Can have 2 other units also shooting from the vehicle.
  
  -Assault Buggy (Or something): Low HP, but fast. 1 Unit drives, 1 Unit fires their weapon.
  
  -Some sort of flying vehicle: Fast, Medium-High HP. Can be killed by AA guns. 1 unit drives/fires it's guns, and up to 3 other units can shoot from it.
  
  These would probably need balancing :)
  
  
  Another edit: Forgot moar stuff. More hero units/upgradable cards.
  
  Some of this stuff might be a repeat of someone else's post.
  
  Hero units:
  
  -Special Ops: A large squad (around 4-8) of elite units. Stats: Cost: Lots (around 500-800) HP: Around 120-180 or so. Damage: Around 50-80 or so. Rate of fire: Around 4.8-6.5 or so. Reload: Around 0.4-0.6. Range: Around 21. Speed: Fast. Cooldown: Around 8-12 or so. They can climb over walls, and they try to stay out of building lines of fire. They take reduced effect from barbed wire. High stagger resistance. Essentially a squad of elite units.
  
  -Radio Operator: A unit that deploys specials every so often. Stats: Cost: Around 300-500. HP: 350. Damage: 50. RoF: 2.5. Reload: 1.2. Range: 18. Speed: Slow. Cooldown: 42. They call in random specials every so often.
  
  -Spy: Basically an assassain. Stats: Cost: Around 150-350. HP: 220. Damage: 1-shot, one kill. RoF: 2. Reload: N/A. Range: Melee. Speed: Fast: Cooldown: 18. Can only be targeted by units/buildings in range when he attacks something. To destroy a building, he must take 5 seconds to plant a dynamite and detonate it. He assassainates enemies/buildings at close range, and has the element of surprise. However, once spotted, he dies quickly.
  
  
  Card upgrades:
  
  Bombing run -> Carpet Bombing: Deals less damage per bomb, but hits everywhere in the area, often hitting some areas multiple times.
  
  Carpet Bombing -> Raze: Instead of bombs, a bunch of fighters sweep across the area and level everything in their path with heavy machine guns. AA guns cannot destroy the special-they only decrease it's effect.
  
  Missile -> Artillery barrage: Multiple shots in a fairly small area
  
  Artillery Barrage -> Nuclear Strike: Heavy Damage to a large area. Poisons the ground, damaging units over time.
  
  Paratroopers -> Elite Paratroopers: Elite paratroopers have more HP and do more damage. They can also fire before landing.
  
  Elite Paratroopers -> Aerial Assault: Troops in the area are stunned for a few seconds, then more paratroopers are deployed. Includes 5 normal paratroopers, 3 elite paratroopers, a medic paratrooper and a rocket paratrooper.
  
  Fire bomb -> Napalm Strike: Higher Damage, and the fire lasts a lot longer. Troops that get out of the fire burn for a few seconds.
  
  Napalm Strike -> Death by fire: Drastically increased area
  
  Tear gas -> Poison Gas: Damage over time
  
  Posion Gas -> Biological Warfare: Instead of DoT, reduces max HP to 1 for troops only, longer lasting stun.
  
  Decoy -> Inflatable tank: Longer effect
  
  Inflatable Tank -> Exploding Decoy: Explodes after time's up.
  
  Landmine -> High Explosive Mine: Larger radius, higher damage.
  
  High Explosive Mine -> Minefield: 5 mines instead of one!
  
  Focus Fire -> Mark Target: Longer lasting
  
  Mark Target -> Aiming Orders: All units will shoot in that general direction, not just those in range.
  
  Hopefully, I didn't forget anything.

  He'd be a skull in a black cape swinging a sythe that cuts a unit in half. There's no way to stop the Grim Reaper, he'll harvest the mightest of hero or the lowest of grunt until he's collected 20 souls, so be careful how you use him. He's as likely to take our your own soldiers as those of the other side.

  A campain with a good story and missoins ( Not like kill snipers or somethink like that ), Bases that are from the Devs , also defensive Missoins with story, Different Maps and not allways in a line, you can get spezial rewards, more Cards while the battle, unlocking some missoins with completing the story and leveling up, maybe Boss enemys, Monster Veterans from CPU , a way to get 1 Monster Veteran, maybe Tanks and a Artilere that you must fight. I added some thinks

  norath that wall idea is a good one but it isnt the most effective solution, my idea is to have wall end points where you can place for half the price of 1 wall, then you can connect them, or even connect them with something that lets only friendly troops through like a gate.
  
  Or even have it like a drag to make a wall thing, so every time you buy a wall you get only a certain length of wall, and you pay for the length of the wall after you place it, if you have to add a wall to another walls endpoint, you would just click the endpoint of that wall and start dragging to the end of that wall extention.
  
  both of these ideas would fix that problem by making the walls not be placed with drag and drop.

  [Last log in date]
  In alliance, it would really help the alliances if people's "last log in" is shown.
  
  [Log in rewards]
  I think stretching out the 7 day log in into a 30 day one, may be nicer. Fill up the 30 day log in with bunch of random things, but make the final reward be very rewarding. This may keep new players trying out the game to stick around longer, and make people actually more active, even if its just to log in.

  sandbox edition? like similar to test base but, you have everything infinite (only works in sandbox and wont save in your base.) you can build custom defenses, send specific units with any perks (even if you dont own them) you can have everything like heroes, maxed buildings etc. and make custom battles like 100 rocketers vs 30 sniper towers or berserk MG with 30k hp and does 1 per hit and etc. (anything customizable but only for sandbox and everything unlocked or infinite supplies) it sounds stupid but i wanted to share it here xD

Please comment with your ideas! They might even get quoted above! I hope the DEVs can find this helpful and inspire them to keep this game fresh! *Nudges steve.peer*

[Isaiah West]

I agree. a lot of good ideas here

[steve.peer]

Lots of good stuff here Z! Thanks for the suggestions.

[FuBar]

How about making it so a person can see the defending camp layout before attacking. I'm so sick and tired of wasting my attack cards only to find a camp that has bunkers and sniper towers stacked too close to each other. If you're not going to do this then roll it back to the way it used to be so that the rest of us can do the same. Toatally NOT fair the way it currently is.

[Infirito]

New buildings / building modifiers like flamethrower bunker or a rocketeer tower.

Attack cards that allows to spawn 2-3 units at once, i.e. not spawning 5 grunts for 100 ammo 3 times, but spawning 15 grunts for 300 ammo.
Attack card that lowers deployment cooldowns.
Perk card for increased range.

For you UAV card effect, it could allow to scroll all the way to the right, without any friendly troops in the proximity. Tacticool!

Can we pin this for everyone? I think it would be great if it didn't get shoved down the list.

Added people's ideas to the list with credits to orginal posters!

[Confusion intensifies]

Hey i think we need some slots for the bases and you can change them in menu.Like slot A for cpu defense slot B for pvp defense slot C for something else.So you dont need to build your base again and again.

Added your post the list! Thanks for taking a look!

[Infirito]

Speed up (x2, x3) buttons would be nice. With wave defence at wave 80+ when you get 300-400 dudes to kill, it takes ages for them to trickle to your base in groups of 4-8 dudes, it creates A LOT of dead air of you just waiting and doing nothing.

Command card Mine, that places a mine in a random place (past your defences) on a map.
Ability to combine forementioned Mine card into a Mine Field for 3 mines instead.
Sleeping gas upgrade into a poison gas (same effect as poison barrel?)

About Propaganda drop, instead of negating AOE, how about it droping in a similar manner to Bombing Run and making affected units / buildings friendly for a short ammount of time.

[Gungrave]

The demo expert is an EXTREMELY bad idea because it would be OP unless its a "one way trip" kind of unit that suicides but does less damage than a rocket but has a bigger burst radius. I say it should be a suicide unit because if it could repeatedly place charges over time it would be fairly broken.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ god dude , you should be the developer who developing the game
You are putting so much heart to improve this game HAHA
- And maybe we can add a function that can decide which veterans standing in what sandbag position xD

Thanks for the comment and kind words! I added half your reply to the user list!

[Yohyzo]

Just some ideas to add on..
- Possibly a card that reduces the life on walls by (?)%.
- Possibly an ability for the Transport Truck to turn into a robot :))
- Possibly a card called "Experimental Weapon" which is a huge blob that bounces within a
radius for (?) duration, causing (?) dmg.
- Possibly change cards such as -20% move speed to include new character models.
- Possibly encourage community participation ex: FAN ART for gold or unique card packs,
tailored to the event.

What about the ability to chat ingame with the person you're attacking (by that I mean leave messages for when they watch the replay) ultimately it would be purely for messages like 'Good base' or 'nice unit look' but a general chat could be helpfull while outside of battle also.
