Civilian buildings' destruction and reconstruction
Description:
Aight here's the thing: Civilian buildings in C&C3 (and some buildings in Generals) had some kick *** destruction animations, pieces of walls fell off and finally the whole thing collapsed. In Red Alert 3, most civilian buildings simply vanished when they had taken 100% damage. That ain't cool.
What we need in future, is awesome building destruction animations and more rubble (see the media section)
Another thing is repairing damaged civilian buildings as in RA2 and Generals. That feature was not seen in any game after Zero Hour (except C&C4 where they magically repaired themselves...), thus losing their strategic importance. For the next game, repairing garrisonable buildings is needed. That could be done with Engineer unit (RA2 + YR), Dozers (Gen. + ZH) or simply using the Repair tool.
Positive Effect:
More strategies, importance of cities and towns, classic garrisoning, better destruction animations are eye candy.
Negative Effect:
Moar work (?)
Media:
C&C3 trailer with collapsing buildings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDRut7cyDU4 for the actual destruction footage, skip to 1:36
Nice rubbled terrain and buildings http://imeu.net/engine2/uploads/2/gaza-city-destroyed-buildings.jpg
