This week, I’m asking you to pick between two very different types of movement.
What’s better: slide kicks or relocatable buildings?
Maybe childhood nostalgia is why I still think slide kicks are so cool.
Or maybe, slide kicks are just extremely cool.
Even Fortnite eventually added a slide kick, which I dearly hope kids tried to perform on the playground.
From fighting games to first-person shooters, I have never met a slide kick I didn’t like.
Their presence always makes me happy.
You’ve built a bottleneck choking your war machine.
Or your units need to travel too far for repairs.
Or you’ve been mining suboptimally all this time.
Mate, just move the buildings!
The Eldar in Warhammer 40K: Dawn Of War go more high-tech, able to teleport buildings away.
Hell, in Homeworld 2, you’ve got the option to pootle your whole mothership about.
Tell me about your favourite relocatable buildings, gang.
Help out poor old forgetful Alice, gang.
But which is better?
I wish more games had relocatable buildings.
But I wish pretty much every game had slide kicks.
I know which way I’m voting.
But what about you, reader dear?
