Infantry Flamethrower Module - Flamethrowers for infantry are even more fun. The tandem charge struggles against shields. Twice as effective against internals, if you can break the armour. Two rockets in a tube, with a long resupply time. Heavier than any of the other defensive options, and more expensive than anything short of Servo-Assisted Armour, but with the ability to recharge between engagements.ĪTGM Launcher Module - Missiles for infantry are always fun. Portable Shield Pack Module - A shield for your infantry.
Servo-Assisted Armour Module - The same weight as a flak jacket, with better protection than energised body armour, but with an unsurprisingly large price tag. More expensive than regular infantry, they’re capable of holding two defensive modules and two augmentations. Vat-Grown Infantry Hull - A new ‘hull’ representing vat-grown infantry units. These modules are balanced against the base game, not other mods (which would have been difficult to manage anyway with the barren wasteland that is the GTB modding community). GTB Plus is designed to expand the main game with modules that could perhaps have come with the main game, in another timeline. Unlike my previous mods for GTB and GSB I’m more interested in producing mods that fit at least vaguely into the base-game’s balance this time around. Playing the base game for a bit was fun, but as usual with Positech Games that are really mod-friendly, I ended up looking to create some custom modules.
Honestly, despite the fact that the modding community never really took off, I still really enjoy the game after eight years.
I was in the mood for a gritty, grimy-style game after reading some Warhammer 40k stuff, and decided to come back to GTB. Attacking is more like the 'reverse' tower defence of Anomaly: Warzone Earth – you decide the order and routes of your units in the hope of breaking through the cyber-Kaiser's defences.Guess who’s still around? Me. Playing a map as the defender gives you a traditional tower defence game, where you plop down turrets and defensive forces to try to stem the incoming tide. But GTB's fields of death are thrilling to die on, over and over again.
And experimentation with AI means the computer can use your creations against you in an endless arms race of tanks, mechs and laser-toting Tommies.įittingly for a world where the Great War never ended, very few units will make it through: hundreds will die in a pointless bloodbath to gain just a few inches of ground. Experimentation with units means players can make their own machines and turn them on their foes. Gratuitous Tank Battles is the result of experimentation with the tower defence genre, yielding a strategy game where you attack as much as entrench.
