I think it would be a great idea to add enemy healthbars. They would basically be small HP bars that float above all of the enemies, kinda like in Warcraft III, Starcraft II, etc.
They would be optional of course.
They're just nice to have so you don't end up ignoring a nagging enemy that only has 1 hit left to go attack another enemy with full health.
As a bonus, maybe the health bar's colors could represent the damage type the enemy is weak to..or has resistance to..or both?
Your thoughts?
Well its better then no health bar...
No health bars please, it would ruin the game's atmosphere. Perhaps visual indications of health (high health = XXXX medium health = YYYY low health = ZZZZ), but no health bars.
"No health bars please, it would ruin the game's atmosphere."
...What? Like I said, they could be optional, as in you can turn them on or off.
"i think this is a great idea although at places with lots of enemies clustered together you cannot see what's hidden behind the bars"
Doesn't seem to be a problem in SCII where there are hundreds of units on screen at once, granted they are a lot smaller.
I agree. having health bars would make battles much easier. I know that they make life easier in SC2, what with target firing.
