I am quite knowledgeable on game design and theory, and I wanted to express my idea for an interesting way to implement cloaking and detection in an RTS game. Stealth units, or units that could cloak, could have a radius of cloaking safety (i.e., a visual indicator of how bold said unit could be around opponents). If that unit's cloaking safety radius overlaps another unit's detection radius (which would work in the same way), the stealth units would be revealed. In this matter, both stealth and detection could be implemented in a more intriguing way, with degrees of intelligence/counter-intelligence rather that set 'cloak' and 'detector' special abilities. It might add an entire new level of strategy to a game. I hope you agree. Thanks! Hi, there.
