These buildings are vulnerable to attack and the cost/benefit can easily be tweaked for balance.

A card slot is usually worth 35$ due to the discount it normally provides (can differ to 40 sometimes). This would make the 5$ discount worth next to nothing. Also this encourages massing over using cards and units in a good way. We need another balancing for this, not sure how tho.

I like the first few and agree with schlumpfi. Those building wouldn't be a good addition to the game imho. But keep the ideas coming.

Love the first few. Do not be surprised to see them in the first expansion set (beginning of next February). Keep the good ideas coming.

We will have to think about the buildings.

I was thinking...

RPG - Anti-Armor Infantry Unit
Cruise Missile - One Mean Deep Strike Blast
Dig In - Infantry takes little damage but can't move
Radar Sweep - one turn Reveal map
Bombers - Hits multiple hexes
Sniper - Extreme range infantry (pins infantry units)
Panic - Unfriendly units run away Max speed 1 turn
Commando - Take CP in single turn
Ninja's - Invisible/Assassinate Hero's
Turncoat - Enemy unit converts to your army
First Strike - Initiative Buff
Hot Air Balloon - Air Recon see's over hills and trees
Stealth, Grenades, Bunker Busters, Daisy Cutters, ect ect

These are more game dynamics:
Pinning - Something that causes unit to stop moving out of fear/Pinned units don't move
Initiative buff/units - I haven't figured out how to tell 'who' shoots first but first strike is cool

Tons of ideas, shame I missed the Beta. Anyone else?

WIsh we would have had you in Beta. Thrilled we have your thoughts now. Thanks.

There were also tons of ideas in beta, lots of them same as you mentioned. But I think it would be too much to ask of you to read them all first. (especially the thread from mrcaos, that needs superhuman endurance)

All new ideas are welcome, chrism will pick something from them.
