Okay, it's been a few days since I last gave you all an update. I have added two new buildings and one new unit:
1) Tech Center: This building serves little other purpose than giving you the ability to make different things that are pretty expensive, but really good. However, once it's destroyed you won't be able to build those new buildings and units until you rebuild this structure, which costs 1000 in-game Gold. A picture of this building can been seen in the first web comic, it's that white building.
2) Guard Tower: One of the new structures you can build from the Tech Center. This object is the first auto-turret in the game. Essentially, you don't have to do anything and it will defend your base (though if selected you can choose a different attack target). This building has less range then a sniper, and does about half the damage to units, but does a pretty decent amount of damage to tanks as well, so this is a pretty overall defense
3) Rocketeer(not a real word): This guy is basically a building and tank destroyer. He can hit troops (units) but isn't as good as a normal Soldier or Sniper. Currently you'll want to send them in to enemy bases to destroy the key structures.
That's all so far, soon there will be a Grenader and Rocket Launcher turret.
Here's a poll for you all: Should I include a mass selection system (not currently in the game)? The system will let you send in a ton of troops to your opponents base, but also gives your opponent that power.
1) Yes
2) No
And thanks for all the support to everyone who has supported this game :)

Actually, I'v just decided to code the darn thing now lol. I didn't want to because of all the reference to the single selected mob, but I figure it'd be easier to do it now while there's only four units to select than later when there's like seven units and eight tanks to select lol. It's going along well right now, I've got the basics down. But due to the limitations of BYOND it will be a tad bit annoying to get down. Once you select something you'll have to deselect everything to drag select again.
