I was watching some beta gameplay earlier and I noticed on one of the mas there was a path with trees on either side and I thought “it would be cool if there was an option to send infantry units into cover there which would give them a slight boost in defence and if the enemy had flamethrowers or whatever the banished equivalent is then theynwould be flushed out and killed”
Any thoughts on this?

Have you played the first game? Not meant to sound mean, there’s just garrisons all throughout it, especially for hooks. I can’t imagine it’s too much of a stretch for them to have the same thing in the new one.
EDIT: Wait I’m dumb. Do you mean so they’re cloaked, like in Heroes of the Storm?
I would like an expanded cover system but it seems that halo wars is trying to favor more mobile gameplay and is opting for less garrison map features than even the first game.
If there was an expanded cover system I would implement it like this

You forgot the most important part:
-Hide under the covers to be safe from monsters.

Without fail. I could set my watch to you and your infantry cover mechanics.
