Will you make it possible to zoom out more?
Since trying the "ZoomMapMod" i find the regular zoom a bit lacking.

These changes are excellent, NO MORE DEVASATATOR BULLSHITS!

I still reccommend giving Catalyst Avatar rduced HP of say 25% and the GDI Commando still needs resistance to damage, he gets killed instantly by too many things.

*yawn*

How far can you go with doing Stat Changes, GunRun?

There's gotta be an end to it, somewhere down the line...

Where you'll have to to, oh i dunno, actually make NEW STUFF?

Oh, and about the supposedly new stuff you've put in?

The Liquid T-Bomb is just stupid.

The Catalyst Avatar is just a changed avatar.

Rance Costa is just a changed sniper team.

And I hate how you added starting units, Me and my friends always get killed :/

C&C Retarded innovates the modding genre by showing that you don't need new units to make a kick ass mod!

The Wii is to Video Gaming Innovation (Lack of Graphics), as C&C Retarded is to Modding Innovation (Lack of new units).

:p

I would like to see an avatar with all the upgrades but much expensive to give a reason to his firepower,and abilities.

I second that - being able to build a fully upgraded avatar would be great. Call it a 'Master Avatar' and for balance make it cost as much as an avatar + the 4 upgrade units and set the build time to twice that of a standard avatar.

Along the same lines for the Scrin, can you also make a tech upgrade where all units that can combine with jobbers come pre-loaded?

I third that, may i request that GDI foxholes cant be evicted by Black hands etc?

Seconded on the requests for the fully upgraded avatar and free buzzers for vehicles upgrade.

Also, the removal of the NOD Commando's C4 makes absolutely no sense to me. I mean, you remove a highly useful ability and replace it with something she shouldn't be doing (shooting aircraft) because her goal is stealth? It makes no sense! Unless she somehow oneshots aircraft it'll be pointless.

You should use that unit in game more, it's mad powerful. I'm sure you will understand when you notice that it only takes 5 shots to decimate a mammoth tank.

a meteor shower type support power for the scrin would be nice(SW class)

Hey, gunrun... I just found two problems, one is only concerning GDI and the second one is all sides-wide (at least I think).
1) The GDI APC has two unit slots, but you can only deploy one slot, while the other stays in the vehicle no matter what you do.
2) The Engineer's drone (I'm not sure if Saboteur's and Assimilator's too) repairs only the building the engineer is in. Which means you can't still repair the ungarrisonable buildings with critical status (red color of health bar), and it's also not too practical if you want to repair walls.

You should look into these imho. =)

hmm.. maybe this new version should add a fix to the apc .. sometimes the apc wont go past a bridge .. and i have to click it bit by bit to a space in the bridge to get past one..

and i dont know if it intentional but the catalyst avatar seems to make enemy units that it destroyed to another avatar.. i think its very abusable .. "make 2 or 3 catalyst avatar.. go to enemy base.. target weakest tank or fighter.. then boom you can make an entire army of avatar.. thats not fair..

cncgamefan said...

Silencer213, the APC Problem is solved when you put two of the same infantry in it. ie 2 riflemen will unload as opposed to an engineer and a ZT squad

hey i wanna see a sttrong unit scrin because nod has a catalyst avatar GDI has a liquid t bomb why not make a new unit for scrin a strong one

Anonymous said...

hey thats not all the catalyst avatar when targeted to an allied or self tank or planes can turn it into another avatar

Anonymous said...

yeah i agree with that why not make a new unit for scrin like the army jobber w/c all the small jobbers combine..

Anonymous said...

that stinks why not make a new PAC that holds stormriders

Anonymous said...

yeah aircrafts are good especially for scrin why not make a super devastator warship

I believe that the other too commanders should be tweaked a bit to be equal to the Nod one.

I like to make a suggestion. It for Nod only. Can you make the NOD
hubs have more health because they can get killed by bombers in one hit. Also can you change the Laser turret into a Beam Cannon turret in stead to make it more useful. Can you change the Oblisk back to fire only at ground units. Its not a very good aa gun. What I recommend is bring back the Oblisk of Darkness to kill the air unit and have the oblisk of light to kill the ground. Great mod keep up the good work.

that does suck gremio001 its useful for me i think the meteor shower as suggested by cncgamefan is useful for scrin

Great CHANGES!
Can we expect a new scrin unit?

I really like the idea about a Master Avatar (Avatar with all powerups already), thats pretty cool and saves a lot of wastefull upgrading time.

Request: We've been playing a lot of Retarded in online multiplayer (tons of fun!) but we seem to run into a constant issue with the Catalyst Avatar; whenever there is a nod player, it becomes an almost automatic unbalanced pissing match with who can pump out the most catalysts avatars and turn the opponents entire army to more catalyst avatars (which is no fun). While its fun at first glance, it seems to negate the good improvements/mods made for the opposing factions.

Would you be able to make a version without the one-hit avatar spawning ability and maybe just a stronger (Master) Avatar?

Hi,

Could you make the APC's have an extra slot or 2 and have the OXs avaliable to build or something would be cool similar to the way chinnoks were in generals.

cncgamefan said...

dear apc person
there are two slots for an apc now
if you added another slot or two,
more people would complain about the emptying bug

Abdul said...

how about adding engineers reinforcements since it a of trouble getting them to the war field ( too many steps imho )
