Reminder - Stickman Trenches releases on Steam this Wednesday, March 1, on Steam!

You should add mortars, barbed wire that you can place, and upgradable health for the research tree. It’s up to you though and keep up the great work!

Just a few ideas: Trenches - 1. Add a zone in front of a trench wherein you can build landmines that would do aoe damage, obstacles like barbed wire, anti-tank obstacles and other obstacles that would slow down the attacking unit but could also use them as cover and can only be made by engineers. These can be destroyed by an engineer, tanks, bomber planes or artillery. 2. Whenever it is raining, make it so that the ground would turn into mud which makes it harder to move, and then make it so that the trenches can be flooded making them useless until your units take out all the water in the trench (maybe make it an ability of an engineer) or the trench drains itself out. You can decrease the chance of this happening and the increase the draining time as you upgrade your trench more. 3. Add a percent chance for your soldiers to get sick and take damage over time while being in a trench. The chance increases when it is raining, you are occupying a recently-flooded trench and when you have an ungraded trench. The chance can be decreased when you have a higher level trench 4. Have an option to either put a machine gun nest, flak gun anti-tank gun aka an artillery piece with the barrel facing horizontally so that your trench can either specialize in anti-infantry, anti-tank or anti-air. Units and Abilities - 1. Instead of having everyone being able to destroy a tank, make it like grenades (research tree), anti-tank guns, anti-tank rifles (research tree) and flamethrowers can only damage tanks and they can have a percentage chance to blow up. 2. Artillery craters would permanently stay and never fade away, these could provide protection if the attacking force is firing from within one and gives units a movement debuff, and make that debuff worse if it is raining. 3. Add bomber planes that could either drop bombs that would do aoe damage and damage tanks or darts that would one shot infantry. The chance of this successfully working decrease if there are flak guns, barrage balloons or fighters. The barrage balloons can be destroyed by fighters and fighters can be countered by fighters or flak guns. 4. Add an engineer role that could make building upgrades or building obstacles or positions (excluding the MG and AT Guns since they need to be rolled over, but there position does need an engineer for it to be built) possible and heal vehicles. 5. Add a medic unit that can heal units over time and cure any soldiers that are sick. 6. Recon Plane - Helps see over the FOW, but can be shot down by fighters and flak guns and blocked by barrage balloons. 7. Veterancy - Can be upgraded by the unit by getting kills and improves the units fire rate, damage, accuracy, defense, etc. Research Tree - 1. Grenades - Equips shotgunners and rifleman and have a higher percent chance to be used in attacking rather than defending. 2. Bayonet - Used by rifleman and give them a percentage chance to charge into an enemy trench and engage in close quarters combat. 3. Anti-Tank Rifles - Gives you the option to either summon a rifleman or an anti-tank rifleman when researched. 4. Gas Masks - Equips everyone with gas masks. 5. Camouflage - Makes it so that attacking units would less likely to be hit or the enemy would not see them when they attack. The smaller the number, the lesser the chance of being spotted. Game Features - 1. Fog of War - Prevents you from seeing what the enemy is doing and vice versa.

Feature Suggestion: I think it would be cool if solders could jump into shell craters, the shell craters could add a certain level of defense when a soldier/soldiers are in it. I think this might make the infantry advances less "one and done" and make attacks more like a battle followed by skirmishes with solders left in no-mans land that have to be rooted out. Just a suggestion but I think this could add a great deal of depth to the battles, and all and all make the game more interesting.

Imagine you can convert stars into medals, but the conversion rate is higher, like 500 stars to 1 medal. Also a counter for how many stars you get each second would be nice. Smoke bombs could be cool, as you can throw them and any troops inside would be harder to hit, like a temporary trench, useful for crossing large distances with no trench. A lightweight armored car would be easier to make than tanks, but the health is reduced, but the speed is faster. Planes are also an important part of WW1. They were initially used for scouting enemy positions, but then they soon became a fighting force against each other as it was a fight for the literal high ground. Canadians also had tanks, and these were a small mini tank, large enough for just one person. The British also tended towards a lot of bombardments before they rushed, so reducing the cost of bombards for them would be nice. The Russians had a massive army, but had issues deploying them. You could set them to have cheaper units but slower deployment time. When the second year of trench wars started, the allied forces got upgraded helmets to be made of metal instead of leather, followed a year later by the central powers who traded in their iconic pointed helmets for the iconic metal helmets of WW2 Germany. They also had shock troopers, trained to attack in unison with their flamethrower companions. They were armed with small hand grenades on sticks. Flamethrower tanks were fairly rare in the first world war, mostly due to the need for a lot of fuel to burn. If you do add flame tanks, I suggest looking at scorchers from Boom Beach. Austria-Hungary was not the best central power. They usually had to be backed up by other nations. The French during the first months of the trench wars were very well known for just rushing straight into battle like the Napoleonic wars. Due to heavy weather creating issues such as muddy terrain, weapons got jammed and fights became hand to hand combat. As the war dragged on, mustard gas became replaced with more and more potent gas attacks. Both sides as a result had to make their masks better to counteract the increased potency. The Germans made their trenches quite impervious to bombardments, digging down deeper and adding reinforced roofing to protect against the bombards from the allied powers.

This game has came so far can’t wait till launch!

Pls, do it that every like 5 waves it is a special wave, for example: Wave 10 a group of 10 snipers (so you have to push out or use arty) Wave 20 a group of 5 light tanks attack at the same time. This way there is variation in the wave system and you have to adapt to the situation. I think it would make it much more enjoyable

For balance purposes, or maybe just on higher difficulty, I think the endless opponent should have access to the mortar system. I think it would definitely add a component of challenge to the mode and could really shake up the critical mass problem.

Barbed wire would be a nice idea for destructible upgrade for defenders. Perhaps minefields with finite mines, to prevent any sort of rushing cheese. Tanks feel a bit too fragile to small arms fire, but perhaps a specialised unit to deal with them would also be nice. Machine gun nest tungsten ammo upgrade perhaps? Shotgunners with grenades that could slow down or maybe stun tanks when a tank is met on approach. Maybe also an upgrade for one of the tanks, perhaps heavy to act as infantry spearhead - maybe in form of an upgrade? That if charging along infantry, said infantry would not charge before it, but tank would also give the infantry some minor defensive bonus, to represent infantry using tank as cover?

Upgrade ideas: Harsh training - decreases the chance of missing a shot. Exclusive to fast training. Improved Scopes - enlarges the range of snipers Mortar - unlocks changing vickers machine gun into mortar (instantly researched by the Germans). Neutralizing chemicals - increases survivability of gas attacks for units with gas masks. Basic camuflage - decreases the chance of getting hit in the No Man's land. (Instantly researched by everyone except France)

If you want to make endless mode harder, try giving the enemy artillery and gas, and make waves last longer. I also think it would be cool if it were a last stand as you make the enemies come from both sides.

I was thinking about how the infantry are able to kill tanks just by shooting them, and maybe instead of having tanks be destroyed based on health, (ex. if enough enough riflemen shoot a tank it explodes/ breaks) You could instead make it like how Bloons TD6 and other tower defense games have hidden/invisible enemies, so the only counter to tanks would be K-bullets, Anti Tank riflemen, flamethrowers, artillery, or possibly bundle charges

I think a way to fixing the problem that you can just camp in the first trench woul be that only a limited amount of units can be in one trench, but I think that would be kind of annoying to. But you could make it so that even when all the trenches are full that you can still recruit new units and make them attack without entering a trench and you could also add the possibility that an endless amount of units can stay in the HQ, but won't be able to attack from there, still allowing to launch big attacks without being able to have to op defenses. You could also make it so that they cannot leave the HQ when it's under attack or that they get a big penalty in attack, defense, or both for a short amount of time after they exit the HQ, so that even when you use the units in the HQ to defend the HQ, the attacker has a chance to win.

Try to add a Morale system based upon how much time the soldier has spend in the front line, and have it debuff the soldier's movement, accuracy, and firerate. Officers could automatically boost soldier morale when they get there, and have a per minute or per X amount of time reset to boosting morale. You should also be able to click on tanks, and send them back, forward, or stay like how you can command soldiers in trenches. Edit: You can have a kill counter on each soldier and make each kill lessen the morale of the soldier. Im thinking morale can be a % meter on each soldier that when the mouse hovers over will show.

You should add engineers to heal tanks and make mines in the battle field, they can should also build barbed wires to stop enemies. The mines should be a counter to tanks, or bazooka units. There should also be a feature where you can turn gold to medals. In endless mode there should be grenades for the infantry to use in the research tree. There also should be vehicles to use for a better rush for trenches like the a jeep. There also should be a new unit, the assault unit that uses weapons lie, the thompson. For future mini updates that you talked about, you should add uniforms for the country you play as and also gear. As you said last video, there should be a flamer tank but it should be a tank itself. I did some research and it’s the pm 1 flame tank

I have lots of ideas: New Endless Mode: In Endless mode, you should start out only with a small camp and one main trench, and you have 60 seconds to prepare for the first waves. You have to upgrade your camp into a properly fortified base. Engineers: You should also implement engineers into the game, in almost all modes. Engineers can dig temporary small trenches, which cannot be upgraded, and are less defendable than a regular trench but snipers can sit in it and shoot in areas where the enemies are normally too far away for snipers to be useful. Engineers would also be required to upgrade trenches, static machine guns, upgrading bases and building artillery. Bases: I think that bases should have more importance in the game than a last stand and unit producer. I think bases should include multiple buildings, like a unit barracks which is where units spawn, an artillery tower to limit artillery, a science building where your scientists produce research tokens, which you use for the upgrade tree instead of medals. Each building would be upgradeable and you would have to use all aspects of your base to win the battle. Possible campaign ideas: I think that in the beginning of a campaign, there are no trenches. You would need engineers to build them. Everything you build and upgrade is destructible, but if it isn't destroyed by the end of the skirmish, then it stays and is still there when you battle in that area again. Also units would stay. For example, a rifleman is in a skirmish and survives the entire battle. That rifleman is now a rifleman veteran. That rifleman veteran has increased stats and is free to you in the next battle. You can use him, but is a risk, because every time a unit's veteran level increases, that unit is harder to replace. The unit is stronger, faster, has better fire rate, and other things as well. This is the same for all units, except the officer. When an officer is a veteran, that officer receives special abilities. Some of these would be calling in very precise artillery, commanding certain units to do certain things, and commanding units better. Disloyalty/Desertion: When you call in units to the battlefield, some units may be a little disloyal. They might refuse to charge on an enemy trench, refuse to fire on the enemy, or even desert the battlefield entirely. To prevent this, you can use veteran officers, which can increase the loyalty of units around them. Or, you can use desertion punishments. In your base, you can make a team of searchers, who search or deserters, and bring them back to the base. The deserters would be punished in a way, and the longer you punish them, the higher their loyalty increases. Special Country Abilities: Using different nations could offer you different units and abilities. I have no examples for this, but I am sure you can think of some. Thats all my ideas, I hope you use some of them Baron. Stickman Trenches is an awesome game, and I am super excited for it to release.

Idea: So I saw that the bases regenerate health. Maybe you can have some form of troop that repairs the bunker which might also put pressure on the opponent to push up to take out the repair men (Maybe the repair men are in the most vulnerable position in front of the bunker). Plus this would make more sense because the bunker has no reason to be automatically regenerating HP.

For campaign, you should definitely have other generals appearing in different battles. They operate separately, but will normally charge if you order a charge. You cannot order them individually, but you can ask the other generals to help, providing you with another army. The AI will use this too. This means more countries can get involved and there can be more variety in uniforms and gameplay.

Idea: There was an event during WW1 called Attack Of The Dead Men (Battle of Osowiec), for example u could choose which country to face in endless, and if u pick Russia and use poisoness gas there could be a slight chance of some of them start to sprint towards you all zombie like. Or there could simply just be a zombie mode idk

for endless-mode: 1. do the wave your currently at in the upper corner, so you always know where you at 2. add a setting to speed up the play (like in btd) 3. just for fun: add a 2d minimap with dots of your and the enemy troops (+the trenches of course) 4. add a option in the settings to pause the game when in tech tree or the level up screen 5. add troops that can lay down mines in front of the trenches

i really think each trench should have a unit cap to prevent over-stacking units into the same trench which just looks kind of goofy and it would make for some interesting combat where you have to choose if you want to make a large push with all your trenches or make a fast push with just the front one. it would also mean holding more trenches would be even more important and you could also possibly allow the trench upgrades to increase unit cap

Maybe you could add wooden pillboxes as static defenses similar to the machine gunner, but they only have a few riflemen and are super vulnerable to flamethrowers. It could be a good way to counter the AI tank and artillery spam.

You should add deployable objects like Barbed Wire and barriers wich work almost like trenches but can be destroyed and a Engineer unit that can place them. Maybe a way to select one type of unit and move just that one type to the other trench

Hey baron, We should have a medic station for injured soldiers to recover and when soldiers are down, an alive soldier should be able to pick up downed soldiers and carry them to medical station.When carrying these soldier, they can only use pistols for covering fire and when carrying soldiers, there will be less chance of the person that is carrying will get hit but the soldier that is being carried will have a better chance at being shot. And in research tree we should have upgraded soldiers being able to drag the injured soldier which not only helps them get to the medical station faster but have a less chance of being shot.

Hey baron! I appreciate the work you put in these videos and this game. On to my suggestion. Make it so you can lock the trenches, if you lock a trench the units that you spawn will just go past the trench. Now this won't effect the units inside the trench if you lock it. And of course you could always unlock them.

Game suggestion: Add a sentry tower which adds 10, 15, then 20 percent extra accuracy and range to units as you upgrade. It would cost 3 medals and would not add Multics to the MG’s

SUGGESTION: I would add grenades in a sense that certain units have them. For example. Shotgunners are suppose to clear trenches. So when they attack before they start shooting they throw a grenade.

Make it so that the longer a stickman stays alive in the trenches, and the more men a stickman kills the more experienced they become giving them slight buffs.

There should be a moral system that when low can force your soldiers to be shell shocked with ptsd for a few seconds and when upgrading soldiers, there will be a less chance of that happening at all

Maybe add faction specific units and traits like Canadian shock troops or German sturmtruppen (stormtroopers), or better trenches for the Germans. Another thing could be flechette darts to drop on enemy soldiers. I also think that you should be able to research a toggle whether or not individual troop types are sent out with gas masks, and they cost a bit more if they are deployed with one because if the officer is killed say by the impact of the gas cannister all of the soldiers who he gave a gas mask are guaranteed to die despite previously having a gas mask. Another idea is researching planes to spot for artillery, making them more accurate.

Isn't a Trench war without a Trench whistle. Entire cases of PTSD focused around hearing the trench whistle. Also a cool special ability would be barbed wire could destroy it with artillery or grenade guys but otherwise it could be stacked up to 20 times anywhere behind your Frontline trench.

Consider adding stopping and turning around in the middle of a trek across no-mans land. Thank you for your work. SO EXCITED FOR MARCH 1st

New things for endles mode:1 barebed whire that can either be an upgrade or a defensive ability. 2 flame throwers exploding on death making snipers more usefull. 3 anti tank rifle units to act as a counter to tanks. 4 make the map longer.

Unit idea: Medic - Similar to the officer, makes it so that when an infantry unit near him gets shot, there's a 10% chance he gets back up. A research upgrade could make it so that there's a 20% chance.

While a tank is crossing a trench,if the unit that is under the tank while it is crossing the trench will crouch down.This would be a subtle but great detail.

A use for the bayonet would be cool. Let's say two groups of solider (both groups on different teams) are charging at each other, they can't fire their rifles while charging forward so if the bayonet had a function, they would be able to defend from troops charging at the. Also, if you get hit with the bayonet you should slow down or stop temporarily because you're bleeding out. Another thing the bayonet could do is if a trench is overrun some soldiers could stay in the trench and use their bayonets. Just a thought to add.

I like the idea of keeping it stickman 2D. Adding more stuff is always welcome. new game modes, weather effects, veterancy, different tanks. different nations with different units.

You should add a medic and radio operator Medic-has a chance to save infantry that die within a area Radio operator-calls in random unit or currency or support ability over time while alive and sits in front of the base

Every 5 kills a infantry gets, they become more customizable like being able to give a individual soldier a helmet which protects their head more or giving them an sniper which provides range , accuracy and damage

Suggestion: Smoke barrage. This would be next to the artillery sector and would shoot a line of smoke to the location the user chooses. The smoke would decrease the visibility, which means both sides cannot see/shoot at each other until they are very close to each other. The smoke would go away after 20-30 seconds and would be influenced by wind

Upgrade ideas: 1. Make officers have a larger area of effect 2. Bullets do less damage to your tanks 3. The machine gun guys run faster 4. Artillery barrage has one extra 5. Troops have lower chance of getting hit when in a trench 6. Reduce cooldown of artillery

You should add Naval battles. It would be cool to see naval battles getting completed to help you out on land battles.

2 ideas, First- add smoke artilerry shells so that short-ranged units get an advantage and it creates a more cinematic expereince, Second-decide between specialized units, balanced units or massed attack units, Balacend units = no changes Massed attack units = units will be 30% less expensive(excluding medals) but, are 25% weaker in health and attack and are 25% more likely to get hit if they are in a trench. Specialized units = units will be 30% more expensive( excluding medals) but are 25% stronger in health and attack and are 25% less likely to get hit in a trench

I really hope that this game blows up in popularity, because if it does, multiplayer will surely be an option

Loved the video @Baron! Can't wait for the next video man! Imagine having a game like Company of Heroes 3 but it's on the basis of Stickman Trenches..... Company of Stickmen? Yeah that sounds about right! Imagine having an Amphibious Assault on Company of Heroes 3 though! Big push idea... 3 M4A1 Sherman Tanks, 4 M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyers and at least 1 Infantry Squad with M1 Garand Rifles, M1918A1 BAR's, M1928A1 Thompson Submachine Guns and M1 Bazooka's with an M3 Half-Track!

I love the idea of lanes, having 3 separate lanes to build up defenses and attacks. pretty much just taking what you have and placing the maps next to each other with trenches that only cover 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 lanes, charging down the middle or the sides to take advantage of a weak spot rather than a full frontal assault. although it would be a much heavier game.

Things to add: 1: Rocket launcher unit 2: Online 1v1 3: Russian Missile tank (maybe it would cost more then the other tanks or something) 4: flamethrower tank maybe 5: a little number under or above the trench to see how many units are in the trench 6: have gasmasks an upgrade for the officer

"Flamethrowers are really good against crowds. Well what is attacking us? Krauts!" - Took me a second to realize you were doing a pun

Unit idea: a medic, maybe it would be like an officer, and whenever there is a medic, in a radius around them the troops have more health, or something. Or if you add healing, they heal faster, maybe both at once. Maybe one thing that could happen is a troop can be hurt enough, where they don't die, but fall on the ground, the enemy changes targets, then they can crawl back to the trench, or stay in the trench, and either they can slowly heal on their own, and heal faster when a medic is there, or only heal when there is a medic. and Maybe the medic has a short range for healing, and moves around the trench to heal the different people. Other Ideas:I think you should make a defense option or when troops are defending a trench, they mount their guns on the side of the trench facing the enemy. Maybe it could increase their accuracy and fire rate, and also give rushing an advantage if the enemy has just taken a trench. It could automatically put them on defense mode after like 5-10 seconds without advancing. It would also look better for when there are a lot of units because instead of being all clumped up, they have a clear line to more accurately see how many troops you have. Suggestion: Maybe the craters should stay for the entire game, and they slow down or give fortification to soldiers going over the area. As soldiers in no man's land would use it as cover. Maybe, as well, precision artillery (and/or artillery barrage) should gravitate slightly towards troops, but if they are in the craters, it gravitates less towards troops, if not gravitating not at all.

Maybe biplanes that do a bombing run along a straight line? Maybe placable mines? Maybe Jeep’s that transport troops to and from trenches?

If an area get hit by an explosive twice, it should create a deep crater that soldiers can use as cover in no man's land

Map idea: You could add different types of maps for various fronts (mountains, forest and plains) Every front could have stuff to make it difficult. For example in the mountains troops are slower tanks are less effective artillery is less dangerous and troops can die of hypothermia ( there could be a research to make snow clothes for troops so they don’t die in the mountains) In the forest there could be more mud, snipers are less effective because of the trees and defenders could have a harder time defending And the plains could be the default one

You should add a Medic, the Medic and Officer are both support units where the Officer is offensive support and Medic defensive support, the medic will take the gas mask ability,removing it from officer, and medic will make units in a trench get stunned instead of dying, the stun will kill the stunned units if the medic dies or if there's more than 5 stunned units per medic, It will prioritize keeping expensive units alive over cheap ones.

Research Ideas: Combined Arms: Increases Infantry Accuracy and Range when nearby a tank, also makes Infantry always stay behind tanks when pushing. Rapid Cooldowns: Decreases Cooldowns by 20% per upgrade but increases cost for purchasing units by 10%. Duck & Cover: Adds a resistance for Infantry to Artillery Fire. Morale Break: Makes flamethrowers move faster and cause enemies to retreat automatically. Anti-Tank Rounds: Massively Increases the damage Rifleman do to tanks but reduces their firerate. Tank Specialization: Makes Tanks cheaper and cool down faster, But increases the cooldown of Infantry. Landship Doctrine: Massive increases to Heavy Tank's MG Firerate, Cannon Radius/Damage and Health, But triples the cost (no increase to cooldown) Scraping The Barrel: Massively Cheapens and lowers Cooldown of Infantry Units, but decreases their Accuracy & Speed.

YESSS STICKMAN TRENCHES thanks baron

Add Tank Traps (Hedgehogs?) as trench upgrades to slow down or stop tanks. This could also be put in as a strategic choice between tank traps- which infantry get through easily- or barbed wire- which tanks get through easily.

What could be intresting, but may make things complicated, when a soldier sits in a trench for to long, they get trench foot, this could poison the unit, slowly lowering their health or making them even slower than the normal troops. It could encourage more offensive gameplay and complexity to the trenches. If that would be to large of a change, it could be weather specific. When it rains the trench will fill with puddles of water and troops that stay in the trench too long could develop trench foot.

1. add an artilary jeep with a machine gun on it 2.add a medic that can heal units 3.make an ocean map where your units push the enemy in boats or submarines 4.add a fighter plane and bomber plane 5. add a unit with a knife but enemy's cant see them until there close to there lines 6. add a jungle map where accuracy is low but you cant see the enemy because of the trees covering there spot 7. add a heavily armoured unit like a juggernaut that be 3 medals 8. a unit with a rocket launcer (3 medals for unit) they only shoot once at the enemy while rushing them or the enemy rushing and deals heaps of damage 9. add when a vehicle gets destroyed it drops a random generated number of units from 1-4 10. when enemy is in there trenches there more of a chance to miss

Things to add -paratroopers -grenadiers -barbed wire/land mines -soldiers getting wounded/sick -different selectable time lines -lore -Panjandrum -medics -bayonet combat -controllable soldiers -soldier upgrades for example you can upgrade a sniper to a anti-tank rifle sniper

Hi baron I noticed that when a tank is over a trench when shotgunners hit it the still price the multi hit on troops in the trenches at 100% chance rather then having trench protection ( it wiped out the lower part of your trench on the first tank you sent out ) Please like so baron notices this bug

I don't really like the "miss" that pops up, I think you should either replace that with dust that just pops up from the ground from missed shots or bullet tracing (as in highlighted line that you can see fired from a gun). I also think that the artillery barrages should be more devastating. They should last longer and/or the bombings should be more frequent, and of course it should be more expensive to use The Machine gun nest machanic is a nice idea, but there should be a cool down until you actually capture the trench. Like once you take the trench, you have to hold it for more than 10 seconds before you can build your own machine-gun nest. That's basically all the ideas I have, I guess you could make the game retro like instead of stick man

Make it to where the static machine guns have a somewhat large health bar that increases as it upgraded, and make tanks a direct counter to them. That way machine guns actually act as a defensive measure opposed to just one unit that can be one shot rendering the whole and expensive machine gun useless. And another possible feature for this could be enabled by artillery leaving shell craters behind, in which the infantry can take pot shots at the machine gun nest while having a less percentage chance of being hit thanks to the cover provided by the shell crater. Basically the shell holes will act as mini round trenches that can only be occupied by 1 or 2 units at once.

Campain mode shoud be what happens in history. You should look into where and how the frontlines changed in ww1 and make your campain follow that

Idea: Add flag banners and if you dont have flag banners, troops morale gets low and they dont fight as hard. If you lose 60 or up soldiers the fellow soldiers start getting sick.

Add more static defenses. You have the option between 4 different types of defenses: the machine gun- the current defense The flame thrower- which would do more general damage at a closer range A sniper tower- a slower shooting defense that can hit targets at even farther ranges than normal snipers And a mine- a frontal static defense, when you buy it it would place mines in the no man’s land in front of your trench, then once either you or the enemy rush out into that particular spot, there is a certain chance for each stockman to blow up from a mine, one time use per purchase

This may be a little complicated, but you should add a "field commander" for example, for the Americans, they could be George S Patton or MacAuther, who both served in the First World War and they would provide passive buffs like Patton would give better tanks because he commanded tanks. While Macauther commanded infantry. A few other suggestions, the Germans had a static flamethrower that was based on trenches and could not be moved. The Germans also had an anti-tank rifle during the first world war and it would be better against tanks. Also there was a tactic called the creeping barrage which was a barrage that would be creeping in front of an infant attack.

Game idea: You should add a new unit -The radio operator, that has the option to replace the spot on the trench instead of the machinegun bunker guy, and he can call in an aircraft strafe (it can have a long cooldown or can cost stars to balance the unit) in a straight line across a good part of the battlefield and have a 50-70% chance to kill a unit but only if they are not in a trench. Or you can just put the aircraft strafe in the tech tree and not have the unit. I hope you like the idea and keep up the good work!

The ideas at 12:15 should definitely be part of the campaign, different styled battles geared towards certain troops

A whole lot of complexity could be added we ith some quite simple changes by - make tanks much more expensive and much more impervious to bullets - allow them to be ordered to go, stop and reverse - have a zone behind the rear trench in which tanks regain health, maybe with a lil engineer guy wandering about, maybe he can be upgraded, duplicated etc. They would become very valuable and require protection, especially if they had a veterancy mechanic. This would add SO much gameplay depth to tank fighting, creating a company of heroes style RTS unit management aspect to tanks, on a very simplified level. If a veterancy mechanic could exist, perhaps it would be best to apply that only to some units; maybe tanks, officers and snipers? That would be manageable for the player.

The flamethrower should explode when it gets killed inflecting damage to friendly units and enemy's units (only in charge to make it more balanced)

You could have time be a factor. So when it’s night, it’s harder for the enemy to see your charges and it makes guns less accurate

i'm wainting forward to the launch of full version this game have been groving with the help of this channel for so long

this is great! keep up the good work baron!

You could also add more dying animations for tanks infantry and such...So like the infantry just doesn't only fall on their backs when they die.

An idea, add a screenshot button so you save your cool bases

Engineers to make artillery and workers to dig underground holes to go from trench to trench and artillery can destroy these holes and make the map bigger and put truck to transfers soldiers to battle (i hope u like the idea)

Suggestion: should add a campaign and a map for Stickman trenches Example: have a Home Screen for single game or campaign then it takes you to how hard the game will be and what country you want like Germany, France or UK and they all have abilities and units for that country, in the game each territory you fight in sends you to the the trench battle

I think that an extra Anti Tank unit would bei best. I also think that the Anti Tank unit First shoots K-Bulletts and after an Upgrade fires an Anti Tank rifle

Suggestions; In endless mode also give the enemy the ability to spawn land ships in higher level waves to make it even more challenging as a type of ‘boss wave’ For your rank increasing as you get more xp, you could also get a small buff for every rank you increase. Like faster money Have a limit of units per trench, e.g. 15 - 20 in the regular trench, but then the max capacity increases as you upgrade it and the more officers you have. This will help against critical mass… Add medics and grenades IF A FLAMETHROWER DIES, it should have a chance of his fuel exploding causing splash damage to those around him Awesome video ❤

Here is a suggestion: make it so that upgrading trenches takes time.

I'm not sure if you have already seen this idea or if it is already implemented, but I would love for there to be different maps. I.E. Snow, Forest, Plains. They could also have their own buffs and de-buffs. I.E. forest gives 25% more defense but 25% less attack.

Add "flags". they function like trenches, but sacriface defence bonus for bigger income.

Add Barbed wire (Razor wire?) as trench upgrades to damage, kill, or slow infantry. Additionally you could make this a protection that can wear down (must be replaced) and choose between it and tank traps to instead slow or stop tanks. Both could be used I suppose- but that's for the research tree to decide (maybe you can have both but no turret?)

I think it could be cool if there was a light cycle where when it turns night you can send out saboteurs with a chance to do real damage to the enemy trench, snipers are ineffective, the enemy lines are invisible and flairs can illuminate the enemy.

Idea for tanks: 1. Tank: Light, fast, not very durable, good vs humans 2. Tank: medium over all, 3. Tank: heavy, slow, durable, expensive, good vs other tanks

When you mentioned you wanted to change the aesthetics of the bases, and thinking about the issue of having the need to balance units like the sniper and heavy tank to have them require both medals and stars, while also considering of adding an indication of owning the tank upgrades... I thought maybe you can instead of having the medal requirement, have a base upgrade requirement. Where the base as to be a certain level for the player/AI to summon in tanks of various weaponry. Level 1 is the standard, just a cube base. Level 2 is adding a sniper and aesthetically making the base taller Level 3 is adding a machine gun and an extension platform for the gunner, so now the base is a rectangular prism with a lower cube platform in front of it (so basically what the current base looks like) Level 4 you can change the whole aesthetic to make the base look more industrious and metallic-y, and you can add like an assembly line to indicate what tanks the AI/Player can summon. e.g. Having tank treads on the floor means light tank is unlocked, having a turret hanging from a crane over conveyor belts means cannon tank is unlocked, and having large armour plates laying against the wall means heavy tanks are unlocked, etc. etc. And if you intend on adding other tanks like flamethrowers, all you have to do is add a fuel tanks on the side. (This way you can keep the certain "Choose your unlock units wisely" system, by simply changing the code to display based on what the AI/Player have chosen. Or if you want to allow AI/Players to be able to choose from a larger list of units/all units per game, you would not have to change much in the code. Think of one those Papa or Mama restaurant Flash games. Changing up the menu, but it simply changes the location of components, but future additions does not change up the codes for visuals) Anyway, back on main topic. You can also make Level 4 the unlock level for artilleries and chemical shells, and make Level 5 for tanks This way it bypasses the issue of having medals as a secondary cost for units, but you balance the game by changing the cost to upgrade the base. Therefore, in terms of long term development, it is easier to balance instead of changing game mechanics drastically, by balancing each unit manually. ------------------------------------------------ Side note: As for Germany, you can add the LK II for Germany's machine gun tank and cannon tank options, although it's a post-WWI tank, it did start development in the last year of WWI, just never saw action. And I do agree the German A7V heavy tank looks cooler than it's British counterpart. Also, when thinking about future countries and each country's specializations, Germany revived mortar (artillery) and so made it possible for effective bombardments on troops in trenches. And generally speaking Russians, Germans, and France had significantly larger field artillery guns, so maybe that's something the development team can think about. Adding artillery guns on the field as unit for some countries as their specialization and not just as one time use call in supports. Something else to think about: Maybe adding slopes and inclines to maps. Like making a map where the center point is on a small hill, making it easy to defend because it slows down attacking units trying to climb; willing making it vulnerable to artillery strikes. Or simply adding it for future gamemodes like Domination or Capture the Flag/Area. Sorry for the long comment, Keep up the great work Baron and dev team! Love the interactivity between us viewers and game devs! Looking forward to the release and future development!

Add a sapper that puts down mines and barbed wire, also when upgraded from research tree they should be able to repair tanks and even enemy tanks that we can use against the opponents

To improve endless mode, maybe add special units that they have. Things such as being able to tunnel underground into enemy, or even neutral trenches would be really fun, but interestingly balanced.

SUGGESTION: it’s only a detail but mabye in endless mode the enemies have a trench and every wave 2 trucks drop off the soldiers into the trench

Periodic shelling as well as a Dead Man's charge based of the Attack Of the Dead Men where a enemy officers charge your trench with gas before and a cloud following them that they run out of.

i am very happy because the game will be relase so soon

You should add soldiers that use their bayonets like a 30% chance that a rifle Soldier will use his bayonet when charging and I love the videos great job

Idea's to make endless mode harder and more fun: .On certain waves, add weather conditions. This could be used as a boss-like thing or just random. For example it could be night time and foggy on wave 10, 20, 30, 40, etc... or something like that. .Another thing that I was thinking of would be that there could be a separate upgrade system for the endless mode. Here are some things that you could upgrade... ---- War support (How much money per wave) (not going to say prices and lvl's cause you can guess what they would be) ---- Landmines (How many landmines are on the field) (not going to say prices and lvl's cause you can guess what they would be) ---- Spy's (Now this one is interesting. This is just a rough concept but here it is: L0 (0$): no info. L1 (200$): Tells you how many troops there are L2 (300$): Tells you how many troops and tanks there are L3 (500$): Tells you how many troops, tanks and what type of troops and tanks L5 (750$): Tells weather conditions, expected money income, troop types, tank types, how many, and where they are coming from

I think you should add machine gun bunkers as the last upgrade in stickman trenches

You should add air support. A plane will fly by and shoot in a straight line. You could add an engineer who can place barbed wire or mines. A medic who can run out to the battlefield and have a chance to revie troops who have a chance to go down and bring them back to the base. You could make the officer call in air support periodically.

Maybe you should maybe add 1. The French 2. The Austro-Hungarians 3. The Italians for the Austro-Hungarians to fight 4. And a chance of snow but officers can give out winter coats wich give the guy a smaller chance of freezing 5. And infantry could maybe throw grenades? 6. You could add storm-troopers for the Germans, Blue Devils for the French, the jagenlandkommando, for the Austro-Hungarians, and the Arditi for the Italians, these are all the type of troops that charge ahead, their country’s best solders, I love the series by the way 7: Sapper can place barbed wire and mines 8: St. Chamond tanks French tanks

Suggestion Make attrition limiting the amount of people in each trench making you use your previous trenches for storage/ renforcement

about the crew members on the tank at 7:55 if that happens I think there should be a thing where they would come out injured or the tank would just explode

Make a special mode where you don't get to control infantry. Have AI control the infantry and the player only be able to send in artillary and tanks along with upgrading trenches/machine guns as support. Give the enemy a big advantage on the player and make the player last a certain amount of time by supporting.

Idea: Add minigun Idea: 2 Add upgraded units
