Pre-End-Game: A rocket lifts off: Huge wave of bitter attack

[emithekiller]

Each time a Rocket lifts off the bitters group up in some random location and when they've all reached the group point they launch a massive attack at the base. Maybe each lift off the group point could be different from the last one making it more difficult. Maybe an option before starting the map? Could add some action to the late game once the space game is released (Or whatever the devs decide to do)

Inspired by the reddit post:

What do you think?

The Natural Evolution - Expansion module has a feature much like this, although the massive attack is triggered when a rocket silo is placed down, rather than when a rocket blasts off.

Even one of the end-game goal would be "How many rocket lifts could you survive" because in each rocket a huge wave groups up toghether, I mean such a huge wave that it'll be difficult for turrets to keep up and will breach into the factory. It'll require previous preparation for defenses. So you could post your rocket counter and say who's got the most

or the satellite could do something, e.g if a communications array is set up it could explore large areas of the map .
e.g. (number of satellites) squared chunks of the map could be shown.

I agree though there should be something after rockets.

Well I stick to the original idea: huge bitter wave attacks the factory. I Mean HUGE... I'll not be good to propose other ideas as it'd go against the posting suggestions and maybe get discarded
