digging a place to hide...but the intelligent already have one
dug! Often ridiculed by the enemy for serving no useful
purposes, a trench is often the first line of defence for a
city. While it cannot fire weapons or shield anything it has to
be filled in and cannot be conventionally destroyed, giving the
city owner time to mount a defence. Wider trenches not only
delay enemies but also stop tanks that lack repulsorlifts and
delay armies by creating additional obstacles. Occasionally,
trenches are used for the concealment of defenders and can
shield them from some attacks. Both quick and cheap to create,
trenches are the economical defence for any vulnerable city.
These however can be circumvented by troops with jetpacks,
starfighters and of course repulsor tanks.
