I could be better if those creators change them to Red Alert 3's victory banner...

Um, Soviet's probably cool, but not so much for Allied's. Besides, no banner for Yuri that way

Photoshop can do! I am a trained user.

Hmm... Yes, I think you're right. Allied banner not very attractive even a girl is a model of the banner.

RA3 Allies banner is more like a fast food advertisement, in my opinion

[aethiraes]

The Yuri banner should just be Yuri himself posing suggestively, red alert 3 style.

Yuri is love.

I've been watching this Canadian TV show called "Travelers" and saw the final episode of the season (there's only one season at the moment) just now and I can't help but find many similarities between Mental Omega and the TV show.
 
Which leads me to think of an idea for a potential...say, Act 4? So, spoiler alert for those who are watching the show or want to watch it (it's now available on Netflix, by the way)... Just copy and paste the text to read it properly.

 

So, on the show, there's an event (meteor crash) that ends up killing million, if not billions of Humans and causes unrest and social collapse all over the world. People from the future have their memories override those of people in the past who are just about to die, essentially, they are sent in the past, in the body of a host. They save themselves from whatever mess they're about to die of, and get to go on doing missions to prevent that dark future from happening. They succeed. However, near the end of the season, we discover that the "Director" that's been sending them to the past is actually a highly-advanced AI. Humanity was suffering from infighting and at one point, they decided to band together instead of continuing as opposing "factions", and listen to the AI that sends them in the past on missions to save mankind's future. Sound familiar? So yeah, apparently preventing the meteor from hitting didn't change things as much as they anticipated and even made things worse. Now, there's a faction that's rebelling against the AI and sending people of its own in the past to kill those loyal to the AI (In a reverse-Terminator manner...That's kind of funny, actually), because they think they shouldn't let a machine direct their lives, tell them what to do, etc.

 

So my suggestion goes as-is: What if The Foehn go to the past to change things, or the Allies do (Paradox Engine?), and in doing so, inadvertently mess things up, causing a rebellion in the future, between the Volknet AI and other members of the Foehn Revolt? So part of the Foehn "revolts" against the AI that leads them, or vice-versa? Maybe The VolkNet AI ends up trying to fight the Allies and Soviets in the past?

There won't be time traveling of anykind in the mod so no, I doubt it.

[aethiraes]

I saw the finale of Godsend.

Damn, a time-warping (za warudo) Prism laser fortress.

It's probably not the Coronia though, despite its appearance. Since Foehn has so much advanced technology, they would have retired the Paradox Project and built some kind of successor. This is assuming that the Allies don't take the Paradox with them to Antarctica and lose it in the battle.

[Wayward Winds]

Personally, I doubt the Paradox Engine will even last long enough to be available for Antarctica.  Yuri got caught off guard by it.  Next time he tries to take it down, I expect he'll have a lot more in position to chuck at it.

And the thing's fragile.  Leave one Gehenna Platform alive in Bottleneck, and it's toast.

 

I'm a little dubious it's got anything to do with Foehn anyway.  I don't recall any time fiddling shenanigans in the Foehn arsenal.

The Coronia is probably more like a flying city in the eye of a hurrican. It would be awesome if "Coronia" ended up being a separate tile set and we'd have maps on board it.

Actually this kind of raises a question about why Foehn doesn't have Chrono tech if it's founded by Allies.

My best guess is gameplay/story separation. Foehn having Chrono tech would hurt the Allies' uniqueness in gameplay. My other guess is all the Steinstech people were killed and noone knows how to use Chronotech anymore except maybe Epsilon.

I dunno I still think that the vortex beneath the Paradox Engine in Bottleneck is very similar to the twister on the loading screen of the Wings of Coronia. And if you paid attention to Godsend, a whole huge army was loaded inside it, might be the entire population of the London Fortress.

[Graion Dilach]

Well, yes, that's the whole point of that airship... to have space for everyone.

[Damfoos]

Well, I guess if Chrono Prison can transfer its victims into a place "not of this world", then the Chronosphere and other equipment onboard the Paradox can create a personal space for all this army too. Unless the tech behind the Crono Prison was "invented" only for its description because each unit has to have one, and has nothing to do with the actual lore.

We Doctor Who nao. The Paradox Engine is bigger on the inside.

[Wayward Winds]

It's more likely a case of "units not to scale", just as three back to back tanks should not equal a battleship in length.  Given the rather large army that gets on board in Godsend, the thing's probably a lot bigger than the in-game graphics would suggest.

Reminds me of this mod for Starcraft 2:

 

 

Someone should do this for MO.

[aethiraes]

Irkalla might not even fit in a war factory in this case. You'd probably construct it like a Slave Miner and it would worth $5000 like a superweapon.

If you get enough allied jets and send them at Irkalla, you could recreate the scene from Independence day.

[lovalmidas]

Abrams Tank: US$6.2 million

USS Nimitz: US$6.2 billion

 

So,

MO

Abrams Tanks: $1500

Allied Aircraft carrier: $1500000 ?

 

Centurion should also cost a million and qualify as an epic unit.

(It is easy in some situations to amass more than $100000 of ore in MO, don't worry!) huehuehue

Realistically, any big, tall civilian building should be able to fit a hundred men inside, not 12 or 8.

The tech fortress should have a whole battalion inside it.

An airforce command HQ should have as much jets as an aircraft carrier if not even more, not just 4.

The Paradox engine being able to carry the population of an entire big city isn't entirely impossible. But it will be costly as hell.

Sell Gladius System. Fund Paradox. Bluff Soviets and Epsilon while you are at it.

 

QCHQ can help by sending countless spies to the relevant financial agencies. With all the easy credit transfer (sourced from solid ore), it makes me think there is some central banking institution behind the War.  

 

Yunru and her PLA hacker team is at it again, wiring funds for team China! D:
