Will there eventually be mechs?

Post apocolyptic games for me would be starting with nothing or very little technology and from here slowly finding new stuff, especially old military weapons.  So I am curious if eventually things like power armour and powered robots will eventually be available.

    Well considering that there will be vehicles like horses and cars as well as mounted combat I'd guess that mechs could be a future possibiliy the game. However I doubt that we'll ever see huge behemoths à la Mech Warrior and it wouldn't be very fitting for the scenery either. Smaller battlesuits like the Panzerkleins in the game Silent Storm would be kind of cool though.



    The question to ask however would be how something like this could be implimented without causing major balance issues...

    And even if you would find a mech, you would still need skills and fuel to drive it

     

    Maybe just some cool healing and energy weapons will be über tecnology, and you would stil need ammo for the super things.

    I figured I would ask, I was always a RIFTS fan and would love for a Rifts MMO to come out.  Since it was a post apocolypic, I figured they might eventually introduce mechs and pre apocolyptic technology that could be found in lost military caches (ala area 51).

    well the devs have hinted that it might take a year or so to find all the stuff and places to craft a car.

    Well, we all know that new technology enters the game as time gradually passes by. But to be honest... i dont hope the folks at Icarus will be pushing it to the limit with all kinds of robotic equipment, mechs, lasers etc etc.   This game is set in a post-apocalyptic timeframe and it would suck if it eventually evolved into some kind of futureistic sci-fi shooter like Planetside or SWG. 



    Technological advancement is cool, but it should remain within the post-apocalyptic setting.

    Mecha-Mecha!



    might only be first available to Techs >.>





    if not Mechwarrior i'd settle for something like a Terminator from WH40k

    They said that ram-shakled weapons are going to be there for the whole games, and technolgy in expansions will be better, but i doubt it will ever be mechs, but hey we get mutations

    Was that an old boardgame made back in the 80's or so?

    To the other guy, I seriously doubt you are gonna see mechs in this, it just doesn't fit the genre at all....look at the screens....

    Ah... no idea but the Silent Storm I was talking about was a turn based strategy game much like Jagged Alliance but based on WWII.



    Anyway this is a Panzerklein:

    I figured if there ever is anything like a "mech" in FE it would be something like this.

    although I doubt there will be mechs, but maybe in the far futher there might be weapons on cars, who knows. :)

    There won't eventually be mechs.

    Technology levels won't go that high.
