Poll: "Non-Brutal" Core Guard Post ideas for the Vengeance expansion

[keith.lamothe]

Nominations from here.

To clarify, the AI gets about 8 total Core Guard Posts per AI HW.  Out of that 8, between 0 and 3 (difficulty dependant) are picked from the "Brutal" list.  The poll for the new Brutal types is in the other thread.  This is the poll for the non-Brutal ones.  So these should be nasty, and impact the endgame homeworld assaults, but they're not really intended to singlehandedly be gamechangers.

So let us know which of the above community-submitted ideas you like best   We have some ideas of our own that may make it in to the expansion too, we'll see.

3 picks per voter, I'll probably go with the top 2 or 3, depending on feasibility.

Thanks for your feedback

What's the difference between the Stasis and Short-Range EMP guardposts? The links go to the same place and there only seems to be a short-range EMP idea there.

Sorry, they had looked like separate nominations so I listed them separately; fixed to just list the stasis one.

Thanks. I was wondering because short-range EMPs, paralyzing tractor beams, and paralysis shots could all be considered a form of stasis, so I was curious if the Stasis Guardpost did either of those instead of a short-range EMP since the Mantis suggestion didn't really seem to distinguish between them.

Been a bit over 4 days, so calling a close to this one.  Interesting how different the results were from the other two polls, the gap between the lowest and highest is very different.  I think this particular question wasn't nearly as important to players as the others.  Anyway, the winners:

11    Core Riot Control Guard Post
11    Implosion Drone Host
9    Core Arachnid Guard Post

Pain Fabrication Units shall being put to work!

Thanks for the feedback

The AI could probably never pull off the kind of Riot Cheese I see from you players
