Seems like taking cover is a liability much more than a protection. I think it's better if infantry get out of the way of artillery rather than slow down and stay in its way. It's frustrating watching your infantry die pointlessly.
Instead of this, a reasonable alternative might be to double-click orders for your infantry to force them back up.
Making bridges indestructible.
Rationale:
-many maps don't work when bridges are destructible (most or all of the crossings are bridges)
-bridges will be repairable in the future. At this point, an engi can come and re-open it, but in the meantime, they shouldn't be destroyed.
-if someone wants to make a map with destructible bridges, they still can, by editing the .yaml themselves. This should be the default, though.
(FWIW, bridges were not destructible in C&C 1.)
During playtesting it seemed like having infantry go at full speed on clear terrain was a good addition.
If it seems inappropriate for some infantry, can change it individually later for some units that might be too fast (e.g. flamethrowers and grenadiers, who travel at speed=5).
Since the MCV position limits where you can build, it seems like the adjacent value should be relaxed.
Pchote, scott, mailaender and I were playtesting the new build radius. We played with a value of 5 and it was good.
This also implements support for a per-provider
cooldown between placing structures, allowing mods
with multiple structure queues to rate-limit
placement around a single provider.
An initial delay parameter is included to
support units that deploy into a base provider and
require an initial setup time (e.g. the Surveyor
unit from C&C TW).
The range and time restrictions are not applied to
walls as a balance choice.
Weapons are now defined with the Armament trait
and turret parameters live in Turreted.
This has the side effect of allowing any number
and distribution of weapons and turrets.
