Entity Description

Strider

Giant walking strider thing! Striders are the ultimate in riot control, their big, their tough and their powerfull. Stiders often use scanners as scouts to look inside the buildings for them as they are limited by their size, there size alos means they need open land or city streets to move in. Striders take work to put down so they should be used sparingly, they also have heavy destructive power so allowing for destruction in your environemtns is a good idea.
