It will make all of your enemies huge in size. 78 00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:46,440 Due to the complex landscape of the arenas and numerous buildings on most of the maps, 79 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,940 your enemies will be too big to actually move. 80 00:04:48,940 --> 00:04:52,780 So, delivering a flag with this supply will be a lot easier. 81 00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:56,280 By the way, firing at enemies affected by Colossus is a real pleasure, 82 00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:59,050 because it is IMPOSSIBLE to miss such a giant target! 83 00:04:59,050 --> 00:05:03,420 Another upcoming power-up is called Ant, and it is an excellent choice for duels. 84 00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:06,800 As you might have guessed, it makes your tank the size of an insect. 85 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,300 This supply makes you practically immortal... 86 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:12,550 You’ll be so small, you’ll be impossible to hit. 87 00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:17,140 And although your size will be smaller, the damage you deal will remain the same. 88 00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:21,700 The only thing to note is that your tank’s speed will decrease in proportion to its size, 89 00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:23,200 so you won’t be going very far. 90 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,730 The 4th supply will be called “Phantom”. 91 00:05:26,730 --> 00:05:30,880 Its mechanics are well-known and already exist in a number of other games. 92 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:36,060 When activated, the power-up will create two copies of your tank that always follow you. 93 00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:40,320 They deal decreased damage and are easy to kill, but will confuse your enemy. 94 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,580 We are currently working on the AI for these clones, 95 00:05:43,580 --> 00:05:47,180 as currently their behaviour is nowhere close to that of a real player. 96 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,580 And probably the most funny and unusual supply... 97 00:05:58,580 --> 00:06:02,400 it allows your tank to take the shape of practically any object on a map. 98 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000 This is how it will work: you activate the supply 99 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,530 you shoot at a fence and you become a fence yourself. 100 00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:12,600 Same trick works with walls, houses and even those rusty tanks. 101 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,500 The supply mechanism is still in progress 102 00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:18,660 so it will become available in the game after the other four. 103 00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:20,620 There are many unknown parameters here. 104 00:06:20,620 --> 00:06:25,230 For now, we still haven’t decided on which physical geometry the tank will be using… 105 00:06:25,230 --> 00:06:28,700 its own, or that of the object it imitates. 106 00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:31,800 And no, you won’t be able to become a billboard. 107 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,200 The thing is that a billboard includes a picture, 108 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,070 and it’s impossible to move it across the arena. 109 00:06:37,070 --> 00:06:39,200 We are unlikely to defeat this bug. 110 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,300 And finally, we haven’t yet decided on the name of this supply? 111 00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,200 Got any ideas? Post them in the comments below! 112 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,800 We believe that these new supplies will make TO’s gameplay a lot more diverse. 113 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,700 More info on the supplies and the way they will be working 114 00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:58,620 will be available closer to the release.
