Hovel needs to be able to spawn grangers when there are no eggs, it should have 3000hp, with double regen rate. It will also do a combo of trapper/acid tube to any human who comes within 500gu.


Oh, and it has to stay at 0 sentience.

To balance this, humans can have a 10bp 'barricade' that can live through 4 goon barbs.
how does that balance the beastly hovel you proposed at all?

And THAT people is the reason why you should ALWAYS add a smiley of some kind when you make some sarcastic comment on the web :)

I don't see what it would improve, human bases already behave exactly like that in most games :)

I plan on opening a sarcasm detector store, since it seems that many people need to have theirs replaced.

I do think that humans need a barricade of some sort. Could be a forcefield generator...

You want a Force-field generator?
Have a Tesla with 0 damage, short range (~200), and crazy high knock-back.
Unfortunately, it has 50 hp, to compensate for its melee invincibility.

To fix the Hovel, make it have double hp when it has a Granger inside.
