I recently watched the 4th video concerning Siege Cannons and would like to give my suggestion for a look/feel for it. If this topic has been discussed elsewhere or something similar was thought of, please point me to it so I can read and get up to date <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
When I was watching the 4th video, two images kept running in my mind. The first was the siege tanks from StarCraft and their mobile/siege tank forms. The video touched on firing while mobile and a possible transformation from mobile mode to siege cannon mode. I didn't entirely grasp what the final decision was leaning towards, but I would think a transformation into siege mode would have been more appropriate.
The second image I kept having was from Ghost in the Shell, those tachikoma (I had to google it for spelling XD) machines. Moreso that they ride on balls rather than wheels or treads. I thought a similar design for the movement of the siege cannons would allow for easier maneuverability over wheels or treads. The balls can be redirected on a dime while wheels or treads would require a space to turn around or change direction in.
I'd love feedback and constructive criticism on these ideas. Thanks for your time reading this.
