Re: [glob2-devel] explorers and forbidden zones

[Donkyhotay]

I'm not certain if it's still the case but at one time explorers 
couldn't attack building and didn't have any armor against getting hit 
by towers. This made them very vulnerable to towers and created a 
classic RTS triangle where warriors < explorers < towers < warriors. 
This was about 2 years ago or so and I have no clue if this is still 
relevant but I thought it was a good idea.

Do not be afraid to joust a giant just because some people believe in 
windmills.
