Fracture the Flag is not the usual hyper-click-fest of an RTS... Its a slower take on the genre. Lightening fast reflexes won't win the game but well placed buildings and well chosen upgrades just might do the trick! Build your economy, spread your control and then... smash the crud out of you opponent!

Description
Watchtower in game render.
The watchtower has made it into the game (not live yet). The intention is that the tower is a ranged defense tower...
But what should it shoot?
Arrows make the most sense, but can be hard to see. Same with small bullets. Cannons? Glowing magic balls? Lightning bolts?
Would love some input.
arrows work well if you add a trail or make them bigger/slower, AoE2 made the arrows slow enough so that they are visible for at least a few frames and also made then just big enough to be nicely visible without breaking immersion: Youtu.be It's a matter of tweaking it until it looks right (on all resolutions!)
You are probably right. I've had a particle trail follow the arrows just didn't get it right. Just need to keep tweaking it.
