    Epic idea if you ask me, but not sure how hard it would be to actually make it happen. I'd personally like to see more challenging tanks on coop, and this one would fit in perfectly, but it's not up to me. Thumbs up for this :D

    only if it spouts out Bill quotes at a rate that would make erik blush!

    It sounds like a fun challenge, but it may need some tweaks here and there..

    Looking at stage 1: this stage looks okay to me, I like the whole "being conscious" idea but it may be hard to get the tank to try to run away (after all, it was programmed to go after the survivors). Perhaps make it an admin controlled tank?

    Stage 2: keep it a bit realistic, tanks shouldn't throw 2 rocks at the same time ;) if the rocks are explosive it will result in at least 2 incaps with every throw - and considering your bile incap bomb this would mean the survivors would be constantly biled. Most high levels have goggles anyway so it makes it a pretty useless skill, but still, 2 rocks is too much. I read your edit at the bottom about the mutations and I have to say that being mutated every 3 minutes for 1-2 minutes sounds like way too much to me. It can be countered with a mutation shield but not everyone wants to buy from the store... Make that one about 20-30 seconds and it's good.

    Stage 3: instead of calling a minion tank, perhaps use the Knight's earthquake skill? It would be a nice transition having to fight outside at stage 2, then go inside at stage 3. I can't really say I like the moustachio negation, moustachio is there for a reason and this tank would already be quite powerful.

    Nothing more to say at the moment, I'm sleepy so I might come up with something else later :P

    Unfortunately that would be impossible without the Workshop, .VPK files, or Luke's CDS (which causes black screen on first connect when it downloads the files over to clients [and it breaks the steam TOS too so it can't really be used]).

    The other ones are probly possible for HC since he has already done lots of things like that :P
