New Marine Ability Idea: Land + Move
Instead of the calls for "boosting the A/D" of Marines... I was thinking that they needed something else. Why not give them the ability to move off of a transport without using their movement point? In other words, let them be able to attack / move after they've landed. I think this would add usefulness to the unit, and make us all think a little bit more. I don't think the realism nazis could really complain.

What do you think?

They can. After the other Marines first take the city they are targeting for invasion.

Obviously. I'm not talking about invading cities. I'm not talking about attacking directly from a transport... I'm talking about moving to any square off of a transport without using up the attack/movement. i.e. landing, and then having the ability to do something (move to a more secure location, attack further inland, etc)

Give them "treat all square as road" or a second movement point.

I don't think giving them an 'extra' move would help them to be a more useful unit. They would still be weak, but just more mobile initially.

I've tuned Marines up a little bit by giving them an attack of 12. Now in the 1.21 game I consider giving them a HP bonus, too, to make the Marine some kind of a Special Forces unit for fighting in field even during late game.

Has anybody flipped the 'Wheel' switch for Tanks, ModArmour and MechInf? If so, how does it play?

I to, have given them more attack. Although, my version is weaker, since it's a 10/10 unit. I gave them a 2 movement.

I tried giving some worker abilities, such as building forts, but it didn't work as I expected.
