All of which out to be removed since they're unnecessary. ^_^
I'd incorporate the whole of the UMP, else we have YR with some additions.

I put them in because to stop a good enemy air attack you needed to have many patriots / flak cannons / gattling cannons. You only need a few of these to kill a pile of aircraft / rocketeers. And also, I've improved the AI in terms of air force, the Allies now use about 8 Harriers (8 Black Eagles if S. Korea) on Hard against your conyard / superweapons, North Korea now uses about 6 Stealth Bombers on your conyard / superweapon and Pacific now uses about 8 Psi-Wave Jets on your conyard / superweapons.

In other words, protect your conyard and superweapons.

Isn't that why you have upgrades? Besides, you can't rely solely on static defenses for base defense. I've plowed through more aircraft with IFVs, Flak Tracks and Gattling Tanks than with any static AA defense.

How about giving each side a Super Unit?

Allies- USS Starship
Soviets- Senturion Siege Crawler
Yuri- Some big Matsermind like unit.
FF- no idea yet.

And Fenring, perhaps it would be nice to have these buildable, but only 2 at a time. That would bring ballance and give turtling players a nice toy to play with. And not all of us enjoy those units... (I like the gattlings best)

The new AA defenses had a build limit of 5 each anyway. I'm not that fond of super units, that's why I removed the Defiant Starship from the Allies and the Overlord Starship from the FF.

EDIT: You never saw the Overlord anyway, it was too powerful (lasers and missiles and heavy armour etc.)

Well , Superunits can be fun. They are the equivalant of heroes in the mechanical/buildings world. So they give a bit of unique style to an attack/base defence. It would be best if you think this up through very good.

No. I prefer balance in my games, even with mods. In other words, superunits are pretty fucking dumb.
I'd really consider removing the additional defenses, then grant side-specific upgrades to help with an all out air raid. Upgrades suit this project better than overpowered extras.

Changed around again, all advanced AA Defenses (AA Laser Cannon, AA Tesla Coil, AA Magna Turret) are gone. The FF will still keep their AA Tower, as it is one of their key defenses. Yuri will now have a Sniper Turret, which can be upgraded with a Chaos Rifle or a Virus Rifle.

~Double post

Another blooper for you, this time I buggered up the American MOAB, and made it too powerful:
moab_gone_wrong.PNG
Total MOAB pwnage!

There used to be a few Power Plants, a War Factory, a Barracks, a Conyard, a whole pile of GIs and Guardian GIs and a few tanks there.

EDIT: Also, All super AA defenses are now gone. But they can still be found in Secret Labs, as can another AA/AG defense system which no sides can build. Stolen tech has been altered slightly as well, go check it out if you haven't recently.

I'd leave it as is, and maybe make the charge time longer. You do know what the MOAB's nickname is, right? :shiftee:

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation

Mother of All Bombs, I know, but I don't like having things too powerful in the game, it makes it too unbalanced. If people were to play this online just about everyone would play as America. There was meant to be a mushroom cloud anim in there, but I forgot to include it in the Animations list. The Ion Cannon is powerful enough, it can destroy any building in one hit, I even reduced the damage to the old TS amount and it still blows up everything. The Charge time on the MOAB is meant to be 12 minutes, but that's another thing I forgot.

Another one from just a few minutes ago, when coding the Cuban Paradrop, I copy-pasted the code from the Russian one, but what I forgot to do was change ParaDropUnits= to ParaDropInf, and I ended up with this weird bug where the game thought the Terrorist was a vehicle and an infantry. I could build it from either list (the picture shows the terrorist cameo in the unit list), also it had the larger health bar shown on vehicles. When ordered to attack it would 'spin' to its target (obviously the game not knowing which frames to use), then pause before it for about a second, then spin in and explode. Apart from the pausing and spinning it actually worked just like a normal Terrorist. Only problem was if you tried to build more than one from the War Factory the second would be 'ready' when the first one was still exiting the Factory, so you wouldn't get your second Terrorist and that would be $200 down the drain. Anyway, here's the picture:

LOL, that's pretty funny.
About the loss of unit, that always occurs if a second unit is produced faster than another can get out. Multiple war factories solves this problem. :p

BuildSpeed= and BuildTimeMultiplier=. BuildSpeed is probably fairer though. :D

I know what caused it, but I think that's just because the Terrorist itself as an infantry builds very quickly, just not quick enough for the War Factory.

I like super units. just they are so hard to get.....
I'd say to put them as stolen tech, to get any of them you need to infeltrate 2 of the 4 battle labs

Well, it's been a while since there's been any activity in the main forum here. Here's another cock-up for you. I was experimenting with the MakeInfantry logic (don't ask why, I just felt like it), and put a Technician-spawning warhead onto the Guardian GI's missile launcher. The problem was that I forgot to restore the original warhead later, and when I was playing a Skirmish, and had a pack of GGIs firing at a Kirov Airship, well... This was the result:
technician_spam.PNG

There were that many Technicians that they actually managed to decimate my base, and seriously lag the game. The problem was that because they were neutral infantry, my own units only fired at them if they actually were attacked themselves, so while these approx. 200 Technicians are destroying Power Plants, my Grizzlies and GIs are just sitting there, watching the chaos. Of course when the Technicians blew up a couple of Oil Derricks that they were all bunched around, it killed about 50 of them, so the game started to speed up again. I just made my Grizzlies squish them after that.
