OpenRA

So there is another playtest! See here: http://www.openra.net/news/playtest-20151114/

From there I've noticed a fix that game me an idea for a new unit or special ability.

> Fixed M.A.D. Tanks destroying trees

It would actually be a awesome feature for a tank. It would help to clear up an area for a new base, or chop a route through dense forest to suprise attack

It might make mad tanks viable if they could cut through terrain

In the original game you could destroy trees. (some of them anyway)

It took ages, but adds a little extra to gameplay and map design potential

The pull request adding this (see OpenRA/OpenRA#9102) was rejected.
However I created this wiki page, so everyone can add that to his/her/its map(s).

Thanks! I think very few maps will be 'useless' if there comes a feature that allows trees to be destroyed. A couple maps that are GOD-like come to mind where trees are used as an impassable terrain. They could be replaced.

In most maps it wouldn't change a whole lot and in fact it may add to the map as terrainchange gives a new aspect of strategy.

Guess it also depends on how they can be destroyed:
- by force firing from any unit?
- only a special unit can destroy trees?
- the rate of destruction: easily destroy a group of trees or does it take a while to cut one down?
