I suggest that we have a new kind of rule. There should be troops, defenses, or War Machines that can remain invisible for a short amount of time or forever. These invisible units simply cannot be attacked. You can't target it (However, it can still get hit by what is called 'splash damage' in other games). Now, to detect it, you must use upgraded White Pikmin or Orange Bulborbs (two species that are rather more alert or see better), or War Machines and defenses equipped with radar systems. Basically, if you don't have that, you can only run. This would add some strategy to the game, in my opinion.

Actually, it'd be like rock paper scissors only without the scissors and the paper is the invisibility.
Dang you, poor analogies!

No, it would work like that in a way. Invisibility beats non-invisibility, radar beats invisibility.
However, I say no. This would basically be like making your physical form be in another timespace if you couldn't get hit except by "Splash damage," which really doesn't apply here (You could just call it an explosion, since not a whole lot of other things work that way in this game). It would also make thievery just too easy for an old player on a new, because they won't have many troops to detect anything, and it's unlikely that they'll have a radar at that point.

Thievery is just plain impossible. They're see-through, and floating gold pieces can be spotted easily. And there should probably be upgrades (cloaking devices or something from Universal Store) before supers or War Machines can use it (it's hard to think how normal or special troops would do that) . Unless it's part of their traits. Invisibility would be exceptionally expensive (unless it's burrowed, and thus cannot move).

A Super or some kind of huge war machine with cloaking ability would be god-modding. You also disregarded what I said that "Splash damage only" makes no sense. It's not going to get its own official rule.
