Make flowers useful?

So far, the only way how flowers affect the game is that they give an advantage to humans: aliens build flowers instead of some useful stuff. What about making flowers poisonous? Idea: If a human steps on flower, gets poisoned and the flower dies (then they should probably cost 2 BPs or so).

Well, humans will shoot at them and wasting ammo instead shooting to alien base :)

Flowers are for show. (And, I will admit this, they really do add color to the base despite my constant reminding of how utterly useless they are. :))

Exactly. Maybe flowers look nice to humans, but to aliens, they look terribly ugly. Aliens like dark, blackish colors, not some shiny yellow.

True, but ammo is easily reloaded, BPs not.

I actually agree with nalf, these flowers are pretty useless and waste of BP, half of the players in a game spawn as a granger, they build useless stuff and waste bp on useless stuff, if the flower do something it would be very nice, like nalf stated: posioning flowers, or maybe it has an effect to make the human see dark for a while or let him sleep that would be actually very cool.

No, I mean flowers look nice for aliens. It says "for female granger"
So meaning, if humans like flowers also, all Humans are grangers. :D

Plus, when you throw a grenade in them, they make a nice...boom.

You cannot be more wrong 8)

Those are Earth flowers. Humans feel they're nice. In fact, those flowers are the only thing humans find nice in alien bases. But aliens hate everything human-like. They hate those flowers. They think they stink and are ugly. Alien like black insect-like things. Aliens would perhaps love a flower like this:

Or this:

Anyway, I really think flowers should be made useful in some way.

Fine then. Make flowers blow up with force of 5 grenades. Lets see a Human shoot at them now. 8)

What about each flower increases a bit regeneration rate of surrounding alien buildings?

Nalf, flowers are like flags. USELESS FUN THINGS.

Better idea: bush cloud will not push back human so much, making damage more useful. (And not just for total noob who walks into cloud)

Maybe the flowers should shout in a little tiny voice when a human gets close.

Save me!
