Hmm, can you make tanks for example be able to take down trees and units?
Like, they go over a unit/tree and take 1/6 of it's current hp as damage (for trees 1/4?)

They can take down trees by attacking them, at the moment. While your idea would certainly look great, it would cause much more lag, and i don't think it would be worth the lag.

:S kay then. Though what if you limit them? That'll also prevent ppl from complaining bout the opness of tanks atm.

Well they won't complain about it anymore. Yesterday evening i realized that avatars were MUCH taller and stronger than humans, physically talking.
So i re-scaled them and increased their damage proportionnally. At the moment i think they're much stronger than humans but it's all fine since i'm making Avatars more like in the movie atm.

:S I used to like humans. I guess it's time to switch sides, especially since I can capture animals

You gonna enjoy the RP-style initiation to pandorian survival & animals, naavi traditions and stuff before u can kick humans outta your (new) planet lol.

that's nice. I'm usually good at being patient but it always depends on the enemy ... So I'm not sure I'll take care of traditions first instead of destrooying daa humanz!

Good thing i'll make avatars allies of the humans at start, eh ? but not in this version, i'm done with this one.

Oh?
That's be nice... You probably figured me lieks having time...
