BATTLECAST PRIMETIME 2!!!

Weekly Release, 1.6, Delayed!

Hey guys, I felt like I didn't do enough to the mod to make it worthy of a release this week. This is what I've done so far. Please comment on my ideas and feel free to add your own.

==================================================
Changes/Features 1.6:

You can now create more than one GDI commando.

Mammoth is now harder to kill.

GDI Barracks comes with Two Anti Infantry defences.

Ion Cannon's Reload time has been set to 2.5 minutes.

Growth Accelerators now only take 5 seconds to construct and does much more acceleration.

New Poll: What do you think of the music?

"What do you think of the music?"

I hope you enjoy the Beavis and Butt-head style answer choices.

Post your opinions here!

I take donations!

I just added a donation button to the site!

Also, expect the next version of Retarded to include some GDI buffs.

Version 1.5 is out!

Yep, releases are now going weekly. Enjoy the additions!

The crater left by the Nuke and Liquid Tiberium bomb has been enlarged.

New Music has been added.

Tiberium Spikes now give $69 a second.

Nod Militia has been replaced with Nod Soldiers.

GDI Rigs have been made faster.

Juggernaught now builds as fast as mammoth tanks.

MCVs when undeployed now have some build radius around it.

GDI MCV now has 1.5 times as much health.

To deal with early mcv rushing I've changed all the starting units to now include one final tier vehicle.

GDI - Mammoth
Nod - Avatar
Scrin - Tripod

Mutant Squads now are beastly.

Nod Shadow team's explosives now cause twice as much damage.

Scrin Signal Transmitter now takes away all fog of war to the player that has it.

The Balance Issue

When I talk about balance in the game I'm talking about human vs human. The way I see it the game is balanced. Each faction has there own specific way of owning the battlefield.

GDI isn't over powering with their liquid tiberium bomb. Think of a 1v1, if you were to use this weapon you would have to sacrifice a lot of your defense and speed, by constructing the amount of refineries needed to have the amount of money to fire it. Also once your opponent finds out that you have the space uplink building constructed I'm sure that person will try his damnedest to make sure it is destroyed, which means not only do you have to balance your refinery spam and overall tech-ing, but also your defenses spam. This is another reason why I left the health of the space uplink as low as it is and never gave it any complimentary defensive structures like the temple of Nod. Think how easy it would be to send over a Viper/Orca/Scrin-Air Unit spam to destroy it.

This is mostly why superweapons are end all type weapons, if you let it happen you deserve to be PWNT into the ground, HARD. Remember kids, no one makes you use superweapons.

Scrin isn't crapped on in this mod. The Scrin's ability to have a vastly superior economy in this mod is what mostly keeps it going. Scrin's tiberium accelerator (accelerating tib by 2.5x), the harvesters being 2 times as fast as before, and their ability to never need silos really makes them the spam faction. Also, don't forget about how most of their units now can climb over all kinds of terrain(and move over water).

The Unholy Alliance isn't meant to be played vs a faction that isn't Unholy Alliance. Unless you're playing Skirmish of course.

From what I see, I think my mod opens up a lot of strategies in multilayer. I encourage people to play my mod online or over hamachi to test if my reasoning is sound. Please tell all your friends about this mod.

Please comment on what you have just read. There is nothing like reading feedback!

Lack of updates...

Sorry about the lack of mod updates guys. I've been quite busy with school and extracurriculars(Marching Band).

The next mod update will probably happen some time in the next few weeks. If you guys have any ideas for the mod just post it in a comment, also please make sure you tell everyone and your friend about this mod's existence.

Post lots of comments everywhere whenever possible.
Your feedback makes the mod better :D

Peace guys,

Does the Mod make the game Unbalanced?

New Poll, VOTE NOW!

I encourage you to comment on this post to explain your reasoning/tell me why you think the mod is unbalanced or not.

Thanks!

About the Mod

C&C Retarded is my attempt at creating the best gaming experience possible in CNC3. I like to use my ability to understand the code behind the game to manipulate it to the way I see as being the most fun. For me I don't care what I do to a game, as long as in the end it is the most fun experience possible.

The name C&C Retarded came from my old mod, Zero Hour Retarded. The reason I choose to put the word retarded in its title was to make a point. Well actually a couple of points. One, I don't care if you don't like the mod. Two, you can never judge a book by its cover. And Three, I want to redefine what retarded means, I want my mod to be so good people will use the adjective retarded as synonyms to words like awesome or excellent. (It was also a little bit of me wanting to mock to the mod Zero Hour Reborn)
