Tactical Analysis[]

  • Hold it right there!: The Graviton Tower brings your foes advance to halt. While it doesn’t do much damage, any enemy hit by its beam has their speed reduced to a crawl.
  • Like walking through mud: The turret can also instead fill its immediate surroundings with graviton. While this isn’t as effective nor does it do any damage, it causes everyone around it to be slowed down.
  • Take that gravity!: While good at slowing things down , the turret is not effective at actually hurting things. Its gun is also unable to elevate high enough to hit airborne foes.
  • Turn up the gravity: New gravitec generators have recently been devised, increasing the amount of graviton the turret can produce. Beams can cause their targets to be so weighted down that they are unable to move and slowly crushed under their own weight, while the fields density is so much that the enemies projectiles are effected. However the machines are rather finicky to make (not to mention heavy) preventing them from being introduced in large quantities.

Background[]

The Graviton is a curious and extremely dificult to isolate and utilise particle that, for the lack of a better comparison, is to gravity as the photon is to electromagnetic force. The Graviton Tower is an advanced base defence designed to utilize this particle to slow down enemy units, giving friendly units more time to take pot shots at enemies.

The Graviton Tower's origins can be traced back to a Northern Chinese installation that was under attack by curious purple automations. A hastily improvised Graviton Tower was constructed to keep the ever advancing swarm of robots from overwhelming the Chinese defences. It does so in two ways: first, via a directed and low damage beam that greatly impedes the movement of a single target; and second, through a passive field that reduces the movement speed of all inside it.
