C&C Retarded

C&C Retarded for Red Alert 3 is Officially Announced!

2009-04-12T07:43:00.000-07:00

Yo long time no blog. Looks like the RA3 SDK was just released and I'm proud to say that the early alpha phase of my next project is almost over, which means I will be releasing a public beta soon.

C&C Retarded will soon be resurrected for RA3 and with that so does this website, spread the word that C&C Retarded is returning!

Time of Rebirth: 1:39am December 2nd 2008

2008-12-01T22:38:00.000-08:00

What is up guys. The C&C Retarded blog is back up and running again. Expect more coming soon!

Today I Graduate from HIGH SCHOOL!!

2008-06-19T11:43:00.000-07:00

Two hours after I post this I will be doing that ceremony thing at my high school. Yay!

I guess the worlds youngest cnc modder isn't that young anymore, eh?

It's been a fun four years and modding C&C3 has been a fun ass hobby. When I come back from all the wild ass graduation parties this week, I will start making the C&C3 mods again!

I am still trying to get some cash for college, so I would love if I can actually make some money off the donations button I have in the sidebar. Can it be Paypal donations time plz?

Anyways, Have a great day!

Peace,
-TheGunrun

Ideas for the mod

2008-06-14T05:48:00.001-07:00

Here we go!

Have harvesters no longer need to dock at the refinerey. They just leave the refinerey and just keep harvesting the tiberium untill they die..
Have refineries be able to build harvesters.
screw the release candidate bull crap, call the next release "C&C Retarded: Best Mod Ever Edition"
Change all harvesters so they all have the same amount of health and armor.
Double the yield of harvester crystals.
Do away with the 500 credits every 12 seconds formula and give refinery a free tiberium silo that gives 200 credits every 12 seconds.
Scrin starts with one harvester.
GDI starts with 3 harvesters.
Nod starts with 6 harvesters.
GDI harvesters get weaponry buff.
Scrin Hive Jobber Buff.
Mastermind teleport range buff.
Slight Nod Solider armor buff.
Shadow Team Strike now has 5 Shadow Squads.

Things to keep in mind:

The Scrin Harvester is uber fast guys.
Nod Harvesters are cloaked.
GDI Harvesters have ion cannons.

I have not graduated yet. That happens on Thursday, then I have a week of graduation parties.. Then I get to do all this stuff.

Peace,

Random Rambalings

2008-06-12T15:32:00.000-07:00

This is how I would justify pirating a video game.

Find a friend who has absolutely no intent on buying a game that I wish to pirate.
Convince him that it is an awesome game and get him to buy it for himself.
Go home and pirate the game.

That works right?

Peace,
-TheGunrun

Some Ideas

2008-06-07T18:45:00.001-07:00

Here are some ideas I came up with throughout the past few weeks. These ideas are not necessarily mod related.

An idea for a musical - "Children of the Brotherhood" and epic relating to the rise and fall of the Brotherhood of Nod. This could perhaps be a novel. Or a movie...

Some sub-ideas...

Children of the Brotherhood would be about children who grew up near Sarajevo and had to witness the rise of Kane and the brotherhood.
These children were forced into the ranks of the brotherhood and learn the ways.
Together these kids fight and with the death of one of them at the hands of GDI they become enraged and fight to the high ranks of the brotherhood.
This boy would join the brotherhood to seek vengeance against Kane. Throughout his endeavors he would fight closely with his brothers, and he develops a bond between them. Later on he soon witnesses the death of his fellow soldiers by the hands of GDI. This prompts him to become blood thirsty and evil. This leads to him becoming one of the inner circle of Kane. In a mission he is injured severally. He finds himself about to die but Kane orders the cybernetic stabilization of the main character's body. During the procedure he has a flashback to a memory which brings him back to the day he was forced into the ranks of the brotherhood. He is told that the cybernetics will only keep him alive for a few days. From this ...

So yeah, who knows. I might write a book or something. But think about it. Would it not be awesome if the first Science Fiction Musical was based around the Brotherhood of Nod?

The winds of change are a blowing..

2008-06-05T14:54:00.001-07:00

Hey guys time for that update:

PS3 has officially been crossed off Red Alert 3's list of systems. (God damn it...)

I graduate from high school soon! Woot!

New laptop coming in tomorrow! Double-Woot!

I get Verizon FiOS on tuesday! Mult-Woot!

The website might be going through a dramatic change!

Anywho, post more ideas and stuff. I will start working on retarded rc2 soon enough.

Peace,
-TheGunrun

If I made Red Alert 3....

2008-05-27T19:36:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, just saw the preview video of Red Alert 3. http://pc.ign.com/articles/876/876905p1.html

Some ideas for the game:

Bring back taunts
New EVA voices, have multiple for each faction and have them selectable at the beginning of each game.
COME OUT ON THE PS3, LIKE WHAT THE HELL EA... Mouse and Keyboard support, f**k'n....
more to come?

I'm still pissed about he no, PS3 PART OF THIS VIDEO. THIS BETTER BE SOME KIND OF MIX UP IN THE VOCALS.

If I'm wrong and there is a ps3 version in the works, it needs mod support and full keyboard support too.

Thats all for today,
-TheGunrun

Updates

2008-05-25T20:24:00.001-07:00

Been busy doing school related stuff. Sorry for lack of updates.

So yeah, the mod hasn't been worked on for a while. I got GTA4 for my ps3. And I also got a Wii yesterday.

I do plan on making a Release Candidate 2 and release it sometime next month.

Happy memorial day btw.

Keep posting stuff guys, I still am taking your ideas and view points on the mod itself. For now the future of the mod is in your guys' hands. Spread the word of how good this mod is and try to get people into playing it.

Peace for now,
-TheGunrun

C&C Retarded Final - Smackdown Units

2008-04-08T19:28:00.000-07:00

C&C Retarded Final will feature, Epic units. Smackdown Units!

All smackdown units are emune to emp/catalyst avatar beams and can survive a direct liquid tiberium bombing. This unit also counts as a structure so if all your buildings die you will continue to play as long as this unit is real.

Cost of all Smackdown units are 10k and your epic structure. They are construable at the epic structure and automatically destroy it when built.

GDI - Gunther, Lord of the Smackdown
Giant GDI Mammoth MK1 Tank
Can go underwater
Has special super armor which stops catalyst avatar beams and also makes it the only unit that can survive a direct hit from a liquid tiberium bomb
Can phase through tiberium
Fires Huge Rounds which do MASSIVE DAMAGE

Nod - The Dark Fist, Kings of the Smackdown
5 Avatars in one squad which replace any of the ones that die in 3 seconds.
Fully Upgraded and and attack flying.
They fire obelisk beams.

Scrin - Spirit Wormhole, Prior of the Smackdown
Giant flying wormhole which kills anything it touches incl. air.
Very very hard to kill due to it's health.

Still thinking about it give me some time... Comment or give me ideas.

My Crap Ideas

2008-04-07T20:41:00.001-07:00

Here is a list of ideas that I have had in the past that I felt later on to not do. Enjoy!

Release Retarded 2.9 on April 1st where the only change to the game is changing the intro to an inescapable Rick Roll video.
Make blue tiberium easy to destroy, and when destroyed kill all things around it including tiberium next to it creating a chain reaction of explosions. Blue Tiberium would have been worth 5 times as much as it is now.
Replace all tiberium in the game to breasts
The Liquid Tiberium Truck, a Nod vehicle that would hold liquid tiberium. After Temple Prime is made this vehicle would carry this liquid tiberium into its enemy base causing a liquid tiberium explosion (like the gdi one). Max number of unit would be one and cost would be 13k.
Hover Mammoth Tank that flew at orca speeds
Seed Avatars - Dropped bomb that exploded into 3 Catalyst Avatars
Jobber Hives that created controllable Jobbers.
Viral Tiberium - Grew exponentially and damages everything. [When I was testing this it grew so fast and so rapidly it eventually crashed my computer...]
Father Ship - Mother Ship with a cannon that when fired at tiberium turned it into tripods, huge range.
The I'm a sore looser upgrade, costs lots and when you loose your mcv every thing on the map dies.
more to come as I remember/create them

If you don't get it, these ideas will never happen unless I feel like modifying them or popular demand.

C&C Retarded Final Download Packs

2008-04-05T20:55:00.000-07:00

The C&C Retarded Final download will come in two versions, English and German.

Nicht mehr Wille werden Sie in der Dunkelheit gelassen.

P.S. I will be releasing Beta's of C&C Retarded Final randomly on this blog, so keep checking it out for updates. If you download a beta, please make sure that all of the new stuff I added works and also chime in on what I have done or want me to do!

C&C RetarDEAD

2008-04-01T03:57:00.000-07:00

As of today C&C Retarded is officially dead. Sorry guys! :(

Update: April Fools!

Edit:
C&C Retarded 3.0 (FINAL) will be coming out in a while. Currently I and swamped with AP homework/projects/papers/lab reports, so yeah... Keep telling your friends about retarded and continue to support my mods.

P.S. Kane's Wrath currently does not support any modding, so yeah Kane's Retarded will be delayed until EA releases a patch that will give it a mod browser. So yeah, keep lobbying EA for the KW SDK/Patch!

Peace!-
TheGunrun

Epic Structure Invisibility Fix?

2008-03-30T20:52:00.000-07:00

I might have stumbled on a temporary fix for the epic structures.

Source: http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?threadID=353876&tstart=0

Scrin cultists are invisible if you set "Shader detail" (found under options -> settings-> display tab) to the "low" setting. Just put it up one notch (thats "medium") and tadaa, they are visible!

This should make a lot of people soooo happy, ain't I a sweety?

So yeah, see if that works. If it does then woot.

-TheGunrun

p.s. enjoy the shout bar on the side of the site!

C&C Retarded: FINAL (WIP)

2008-03-09T12:18:00.000-07:00

Hey hey,
With Kane's Wrath on its way I have decided that the new C&C Retarded mod will be the last one for C&C3 assuming that it doesn't have a game breaking bug in it or something. There will be no 2.9 but rather "FINAL".

C&C Retarded: FINAL will include the following (hopefully):

An ingame soundtrack with similar awesomeness to that of Zero Hour Retarded (This will make this mod huge size wise)
A fix to the invisible buildings
A second release which will be called C&C Retarded: FLite excluding the music
and maybe more... If you want something in this, post in the comments or shoot me an email/msn

PEACE

2008-02-16T18:22:00.000-08:00

Hey guys, the poll numbers are in. The Kane's Wrath mod from me will be named "C&C: Kane's Retarded". I have also decided to rename the C&C3 mod to "C&C3: Retarded" once Kane's Wrath comes out, to clear up any possible confusion. And due to Red Alert 3 coming out, I have decided to name the Red Alert 3 retarded mod "C&C: Retarded Alert"

Also there is a new poll. There have been some reports of an invisible Temple Prime. Only some people have been getting this error, I would like to know what percentage of you guys get this problem.

2008-01-06T20:11:00.000-08:00

Hey guys, sorry bout the lack of updates and such. Been very busy. Tis finals season, so I'll be busy working on school related stuff.

BTW I just saw battlecast primetime and it looked very nice, special the kane's wrath stuff. That new GDI titan unit kinda reminds me of Gunther Lord of the Smackdown from Zero Hour doesn't it? Also I love the whole new factions and stuff.

There will be a C&C Retarded for Kane's Wrath, the name of it will still be up in the air but expect it to have more of a Zero Hour Retarded type of zeal which than the current 2.7. More factions make's me like it. This is a definite buy for me.

Yeah so current name ideas for the new mod are...

C&C(3): TheGunrun's Retarded
C&C Retarded Again
The Retarderium Chronicalls
TheGunrun Presents: C&C Kane's Retarded
C&C Wretarded

Also I'm serious about the title names lol.. One of these will be the new name.

Happy New Years!!!

2007-12-31T15:33:00.000-08:00

AH, HAHAH 2008 BABY

Jesus, has it been that long already? It still seems like 2000 just occurred. This is the future!

Anywho, happy new year everyone! 2008 just feels like a good year for me, and hopefuly it will be one. I would like to wish you all a safe and fun ass new year. Driving home safely and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

My PSN name is TheGunrun btw, add me!

From now on the mod will update less but with each update will bring a bounty of changes.

The Balance Issue

2007-09-12T16:51:00.000-07:00

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...

2007-09-12T12:21:00.000-07:00

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,

About the Mod

2007-09-09T08:50:00.000-07:00

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)

All Refineries will give you $500 every 12 seconds.

Cranes can now once again be able to construct base defence structures.

Cranes can now make more cranes.

Cranes now give you as much build space as the Mini MCVs.

Battlecast Primetime Doesn't Suck

2007-08-14T09:48:00.001-07:00

Hey guys, I just saw battlecast primetime. http://www.commandandconquer.com/swf/CCTV.html
It's mad nice. BTW They have announced an expansion! Also that the SDK is coming out this month!!
Sound awesome to me. But what really sucks is that my mod was about 3 seconds away from being shown. I hope that my mod will one day make the battlecast primetime...

I hope you all go and watch it. I cannot wait for the SDK...

Peace guys!

Late Night Ideas

2007-08-12T23:41:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, here are some new ideas I came up with.

Once a faction has a tech building up they will be allowed to create their advanced engineer infantry.

Scrin - Assimilation Drone

They are faster and twice the size of the regular Scrin Engineer.
They will be able to mind control buildings but their range to do this is very limited.
They are stealth while moving.
Only three are allowed to be on the battlefield at a time.
They have the special ability to release a pulse of healing energy which will heal all units and vehicles close to the unit.

Nod - Black Wrench

They have the ability to repair vehicles on the battlefield.
Stealth when moving.
Can hijack vehicles.
Immune to Tiberium.
Moves twice as fast.
Only six on battlefield max.
Can harvest Tiberium.

GDI - Engineer 2.0

Bionically enhanced to run 5 times as fast.

GDI Titan - Phydeaux

It's a gigantic juggernaut that requires snipers to fire, but will always 1 hit KO whatever it hits.
Only one allowed
Costs $10,000

During multiplayer your allies will be able to construct from your cranes and mini MCVs.

That's it for today guys,
-TheGunrun

New LCD Monitor!

2007-08-09T20:33:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, I just received the LCD Monitor I ordered from http://www.Newegg.com.

I sure love me some good widescreen. 1440 x 900 FTW

No ideas today, so here's a video of a dude kungfu fighting his kids.

Peace.
-TheGunrun

Wait... It's not an SDK? GOD D*MN IT!

2007-08-08T23:43:00.000-07:00

How ya guys doing?

So turns out that the CNC3 announcement was just some kind of a monthly internet show about C&C. Personally, I feel like I was just stabbed in the soul, but that's just me. I'm still hoping for the SDK to come out before school.

Anyway, if you haven't noticed, I just added ads to the site. I hope they aren't sucking the life out of the site too much. I just feel that I should really payback the loan sharks I ow for this new computer I got. Having broken legs can effect the development of a mod more than you think, especially when you do all the work of an entire dev-team. To me the ads are like untaped BLUE Tiberium fields and you're my Scrin extractors. Your interaction with the fields are paramount to the growth of my base. Personally, I'd rather not hear the Scrin AI tell me insufficient 'you know what' every few days or so. If you know what I mean.

Oh yeah I created this really awful poll. If you want to comment on it use this post's comments area.

Ideas:

Nothing really... Maybe some kind of new unit or feature. I was thinking "Uber Engi's" for each faction.

That's it for now guys. Peace,
-TheGunrun

Welcome to CNCRetarded.com

It's almost tomorrow!

2007-08-06T07:44:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, tomorrow is the 7th. And you know what that means! An announcement of some sort. I really hope it's an SDK.

Also I hope you enjoy the stickam.

Anyway here are some ideas.

All engineer units will now come equipped with a repair drone. Meaning that any vehicle close to an engineer will now receive repairs.
Ox and Carry-all transports will now be able to transport all vehicles.

Peace,
-TheGunrun

Friday Update

2007-08-03T09:18:00.000-07:00

GDI MCV is faster and harder to destroy when not a Construction Yard
All infantry heal over time
Stealth teams will now be squads of five
Stealth teams can now bomb vehicles
Fanatics are now only $200 and only take 3 seconds to train
Grenadiers now have double the range, 1.5 times as much damage, and train 5 seconds faster
APCs are now 1.5 times as harder to destroy
Juggernauts now have 1.3 times the range and reload twice as fast
GDI Drop pods now drop twice the amount of zone troopers
Scrin Vehicles and all harvesters now heal in tiberium
Planetary Assault Carriers only require a tech assembler now to be built
Mothership moves twice as fast but takes three times as much time to fire its weapon
The GDI Rig now deploys and undeploys instantly
The Rig will now be twice as powerful and twice as hard to kill

That's it for now

Peace,
-TheGunrun

Personal Patch Fixes

2007-07-28T12:23:00.000-07:00

With the 1.07 patch right around the corner I feel that I should address some of the changes they will be making, into my mod.

Cranes will be able to once again construct all the base defenses.
Cranes can be able to make cranes.
All war factories will be able to make Mini-MCVs like the Construction Yards.
Construction Yards can build MCVs after the tech center is constructed.

Peace,
-TheGunrun

Friday July 27 - Update (New Comp?)

2007-07-27T14:25:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, from the looks of it there will be CNC3 expansion soon. According to my sources it looks like renegade effects (the people who did the special effects for the CNC3 full motion videos) are hard at work on some CNC related project. Now couple that with the announcement set for the 7th and you got yourself a really good chance of getting a CNC expansion.

Also from the looks of it I'm getting my self a new PC to work on the mod. Here are the specs:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ winchester socket 939
1gb corsair xms ddr400 ram
gigabyte ga-k8nf nforce4 motherboard
ati radeon x700 pro 256mb

Now for the ideas:

I'm planning to replace the EA intro with the westwood studios one just for the hell of it.
I might be making missions now that I have a computer than can handle worldbuilder correctly.
If these missions do happen expect some really awful (-ly awesome) full motion videos from me.

That's it for now guys.

Peace,
-TheGunrun

Welcome PlanetCNC and CNCDen

2007-07-24T18:58:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, looks like I've made the front page of CNCDen & Planet CNC
If you're here from Planet CNC and CNCDen, welcome to the blog.

C&C Retarded is the continuation of the "Retarded" mod series which began in 2003 under the name "Gunrun's Mod", for the game Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour. This mod, unlike any other mod to hit the 10 thousand downloads mark, is created by one person.

What makes my mods different from everyone else is my approach. I, like many of you, have no clue how to model units. So I 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 a fun experience.

I hope you all will enjoy this mod as much as I will when it comes out. For now, if you want a taste of what I have done in the past, check out my latest mod "Zero Hour Retarded" at http://retarded.moddb.com

Today's Mod Ideas:

Implementation of Infantry Armadas - Gigantic Squads of infantry composed of all the infantry of the faction excluding the commando.
The ability to produce Carry-Alls and OX transports from the faction's airfield.
The Obelisk Supreme to be named "Obelisk of Infinity" (if you can make up an better name post it)

Peace,
- TheGunrun

Monday July 23 - Updates

2007-07-23T10:20:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, I hope you are enjoying the blog. If you guys have any questions about the mod or anything at all, send them to TheGunrun@gmail.com.

I got me a new email :)

Without further adieu, the almost daily mod ideas update!

Mod Ideas:

Have the Juggernauts deal twice as much damage when using their special ability.
All vehicles will have the ability to run over any infantry.
Nod and GDI will now be able to deploy repair drones just like the Scrin.
Scrin will now be able to special ability drop Ion Storms.

Remember, if you have any ideas you want to add just post it in a comment to the blog, or shoot me an email.

Peace,
-TheGunrun

My Current CNC3 Mods

2007-07-22T21:48:00.001-07:00

Intel Database Mod
All this basically does it allow you to view all your in game intel databases.

Mo Movies Mod
This mod gives you the ability to not have to play through out all of C&C3 to watch everyone of the movies within the game.

PreTarded (For the C&C3 Demo Only)
It gives you the ability to sell any of your buildings and get 10 times as much as you spent on it. It also disables all your intro videos!

The Current Ideas I Have Posted

2007-07-22T21:38:00.000-07:00

Harvesters

Nod:
The harvester now has a button that will blow it up when pressed, catalyst missile style. Destroying near by tiberium type units.

Scrin:
Harvesters able to harvest tiberium glaciers.

GDI:
When railgun upgrade is purchased the harvester will have a preditor style railgun. Could you just imagine the harvester rushes?!

Tiberium

Tiberium Recycling System:
All Factions will be able to recycle unneeded tiberium and place it back onto any field for their allies to harvest. These recycled packages will come in the form of 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000 value crystal formations . Each package will cost 10% more than you will get from re-harvesting them. (e.g. a crystal formation that will yield 500 when harvested will cost 550 to place, a 1000 will cost 1100 to place, etc) These recycled crystals formations will be buildable under the support structures tab with a refinery as it's pre-requisite.

Decoy Tiberium:
It is a power given to nod. It is basically a seed tiberium in which the tiberium when harvested gives nothing in return. It only comes in the color green. It is also 2x times larger than the regular seed tiberium power.

New Tech Level

When you build your regular tech building, a new construction tab will come up. From this tab you can build two things. The Advanced Tech Center and a Crane (Crane will build twice as fast and cost half as much).

The Advanced Tech Center allows construction of super powerful structures/units and a new special ability.

GDI and Nod:
(Structure) Liquid Tiberium Spikes $2500

Scrin:
(Structure) Tiberium Glaciers $2500 (Does the same as spikes)

Nod:
(Structure - Defense) Obelisk Supreme $10,000-
A extremely large obelisk that can attack air. It has very high splash damage due to its extremely large beam of light. Anything directly hit by this beam will die. Only one of these buildings are allowed to be constructed. The power required to use this building is equivalent to 13 obelisks of light. Health = MCV's

(Unit - Infantry) Black Hand Reserves $5,000-
Basically black hands with laser chain guns. Come in squads of 10. Detect Stealth. Each guy is powerful as a venom. They can attack air.

(Unit - Vehicle) The Sathanas $8,000-
Gigantic Avatar with a beam cannon that can attack air units. Health = MCV's It's beam is twice as powerful as the obelisk of light. It has the special ability to make units next to it stealth, but it itself isn't stealth.

(Special Ability) The Word of Kane $3000 (Every 5 Minutes)-
Turns all units with in the target range to your side. Works on aircraft.

GDI:
(Structure - Defense) Advanced Guard Towers $2500
Play Renegade. Health = Sonic Emitter. Can attack air. Uses as much power as the sonic emitter. Range is Sonic Emitter x 1.5. (You can build as many as you want)

(Unit - Infantry) Mosquitoes $800
They can only fly. They have the same rifle as the zone troopers. They make the most annoying sound in the world... They attack both air and ground. They come in squads of 1. Health is the same as zone troopers. (These guys build very fast. Riflemen Fast)

(Unit - Vehicle) Hover Mammoth Tanks $3500
They Friggin Hover. Can climb over cliffs and hover over water. They also move twice as fast. They are constructed in half the amount of time it takes to build a regular Mammoth MK3.

(Special Ability) Tiberium Cleanser $3000 (Every 5 Minutes)-
Destroys all Tiberium within the target range.

Scrin:
(Structure - Defense) Storm Rider Hive $20,000
It's very large and tall. Health = MCV. Has 10 Storm Riders. Requires ten times as much power as the storm columns. Range is 3 times as large as the range of storm columns. Only one is allowed to be built.

(Unit - Infantry) Buzzer Clouds $4000
Buzzers that are 4 times as big as the normal.

(Unit - Vehicle) The Angelina Jolie $3000 (According to the Alien AI this is the closest word in the English language that can describe this unit)
Every 12 seconds a Visceroid is spawned from this unit. The Visceroids follow this unit around and attack for it. The unit is as big as a mammoth tank.

(Special Ability) Create a Tiberium Crater $10,000

Misc

Orcas will now be more like Venoms now. No longer will they have to rearm at the airfield nor land. This means you can now have more than 4 Orcas for every airfield.

Orcas, when the railgun upgrade is purchased, will now be able to fire pred tank strength railgun beams.

Motherships will now create an EMP when destroyed.

All superweapons, when used, will cause an EMP effect twice the range of the actual explosion.

Nod Militia will now be weakened by a factor of four and will only cost $50.

Militia will now be trainable at all nod defense hubs.

The Nod Soldier will now be added to the nod faction's tier one infantry.

All mini MCVs can be upgraded to actual MCVs. Cost is $5000 Time is 20 Seconds.

Scrin Advanced tech centers will now be able to give the player the ability to upgrade all scrin aircraft to be 4 times as faster. This upgrade will be known as "Subspace Drive Upgrade".

GDI will be able to construct a spy satellite up-link after building their advanced tech center.
This building gives the player view of the entire map, for all of you who haven't played RA2.

The Nod Stealth generator tower will now be stealth itself.

Walls have been added to the game.

Rocket Militia and Missile Squad will now be upsized to squads of 4.

For Nod, there will no longer be a Confessor upgrade. It will be replaced with an upgrade that will double the size of the squad. This upgrade will take twice as long to be complete as the confessor upgrade.

Fanatics now are stealth wile not moving.

Commandos will no longer slow down after c4'n a building.

Nod's Radar Jamming missile will now shut down enemy radar for an entire minute.

All MCVs when updeployed can now run over all vehicles the mammoth tank can run over. For the Scrin MCV any unit under it will be destroyed. This is narratively justified due to the immense radiation from it's "Star Drive" or space engine.

The GDI battle base is now as difficult to destroy as an Advanced Guard Tower.

All Tiberium Harvesters can now turn on a dime.

Orca Strikes will now be much stronger.

Snipers will now one hit kill all infantry and reload faster.

APCs will be 1.3 times as harder to destroy.

When a railgun upgrade is purchased all GDI harvesters will be given a pred style railgun.

All mutants will now deal 3 times as much damage as they did before.

Yep, I made a God Damn Blog

2007-07-22T20:16:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the Official C&C Retarded Blog, Project CRit.

In case you are wondering, the title is a play on "Project C&C Retarded", somehow...

Anyway I felt that a blog would be the best way to update you on all of my ideas as they are being made. Enjoy your stay and please make sure you glance at the moddb once in a while.
