would it be bad if i asked how to do it step by step? I just want to replace 2-3 songs in the allied ost with other frank klepacki songs.

 

edit: well, i opened the thememo.mix file, and already found the songs i want to replace. I converted the songs i want into wav with that winamp plugin. Now i just need to replace them...there is no thememo.ini only thememd.ini, which is for the yr

May I suggest of renaming the "Covert Operations" missions into "Special Operations" instead?

Agree. Many mistake Co-Op with Covert Ops or vice versa. Calling them Spec Ops would erase the confusion

[Handepsilon]

Thememo.ini is inside yet another mix file. You'd have to search for it inside.

I think honestly at this point Allies are getting buffed too much and will be pretty problematic next patch since we don't have proper playtesting. Soviets are going to be a relatively weaker cause of over nerfing so nothing has really changed except a shift in power. 

 

I have supported Rocket buffs all the way from 3.3.1 but at this point, it's going to be too much. Way, too, much. 

 

Despite all that auto-healing for rocketeers would be a godsend tbh. They are already fragile and the fact that they can't disengage from a fight and heal up is killing em. I realize that the Gyrocopter doesn't heal either but maybe that should be changed to. 

[JackoDerp]

Well, the things that Allies are getting changes for were generally underperforming or overpowered. And honestly USA are still going to be meh against any faction with a "Better Abrams" (So basically Soviets, also PsiCorps). Warhawks getting buffed is nice, but they're still almost never going to be used.

 

At this point the only units of theirs I have a problem with are Siegfried and Blizzards.

Well imo , they are not too problematic except Siegfried . US is gonna be weaker in early game since SEAL IFVs are nerfed , PF is almost like the same as currently , the only question is EA since they receive most of buffs this patch. 
LB could become a problem in early game but i think it's gonna depend on skills to pull it off  . I can see LB can  kill everyone  with some MCVs crawl and in the current patch , they are good for that already . Anyway its mostly about one tactic and they can struggle in late game vs the likes of Psicorps , ... Furthermore , its not too problematic like 5 miners China tech rush currently.
So far , i see this might become the most balanced patch in the MO history , everyone has a chance and can pull it out ( Maybe SC may struggle still but i see a better early game for SC ) . The question is now about map and i hope to see more improvements to 2 vs 2 , 3 vs 3 , ... maps

Minermites need a Repair Nerf, they're impossible to break down even in medium-sized numbers.

Stingers and Robot Tanks need a HP buff

 

And for fucks sake make Mortar Quads actually worth using, they're so damn expensive.

I agree with the Restoration debuff for Minermites-it has been abused way too many times by Foehn players.
The damn Mortar Quads feel like the Soviet Mortar Cycles in RA3:Uprising or rather.....a much weakened version.

I rarely play as the US of A and PF so I can't comment on that,but the few times I played as EA,I got the painful impression these guys would become nuts after seeing the 3.3.4 patch changelog.Though I am a Foehn mainer,I prefer Haihead,which can make short work of Last Bastion late-game.A bunch of Megalodons ganging up on a Mastodon is terrifying.

Minermites absolutely need a repair rate nerf, this is a major balance issue that somehow hasn't been addressed yet

 

Minermites could receive something like 30% more health and a proportional reduction on how fast they can heal each other (and other units)

This way, they can retain the behavior while being easier to kill by focus firing (which means already an advantage for minermites by forcing suboptimal firepower usage)

 

I also think minermites should be destroyed by jets besides harriers... it would be fun and encourage more air play which is kinda niche ATM specially when it comes to epsilon planes, also kinghtframes are a powerful AA unit so it would be ok to have this dynamic.

 

 

[ArtanisGriffin]

Minermites are hard ones to balance out imo . On one hand , they are the backbone of Foehn since their repairing help much in attacking or combinations with Jackals and they also need repairing to avoid harass since they are easily to be taken out but in the other hand , their repairing rate is a quite problematic one yeah . You can hardly take down minermites when they are in blob and their repairing is sometimes too fast . TeslaCruiser suggestion is a good solution to fix the issue but I think we can test more out to see if they should be really nerfed .

I agreed. Mortar Quads are kinda underpowered for their job.

Hi,

I propose add small change for "easy ai" in skirmish mode .  Make them unable to spamm support powers like "smoke bombs" , "black widow" , "toxic strike" , "magnetic beam" , "blackout missile",  "EM pulse" , "wallbuster"

Setting them longer coldown on these support powers. (specialy for "black widow" and "wallbuster" )

 

I thinking about beginner players or people who playing MO for fun (make some epic bases , armies, testing something with AI or people who playing for fun with AI like the old days in vanilla RA2 & YR) ...Whatever , for example: when you see black widow every few minutes (and that flashing minimap)... or when your defence buildings getting destroyed every time when you trying to rebuild them ... it make nervous.

 

What do you think about it ?

IIRC technically impossible

I think the income money displaying thing would be more appealing if make it exclusive to the Reprocessor's bounty only.
I kinda annoyed when it popping up on the eco booster/oil derrick every second. and it ruined some good screenshots.

While we're at it, perhaps the massive green arrow above derricts and supply warehouses in gamemodes in which they are indestructible should go as well.

yeah, that one too. and those same arrows that appear in some missions should be replaced by these

Nah, since today it's my birthday, it's time to download the update. Let's have some fun

[Solais]

I like those icons, +1 to that idea.

[arandompersons]

heres a topic no one is taking a prod at. i might as well. hey. don't get too feisty at me, no one else is talking about this so i'll bring it up

 

it might sound dumb but i reckon we need less early game swarms from Russia, China, Psi Corps and Epsilon HQ. its making Latin Confederation and Scorpion Cell look bad since who needs to play an actual swarm faction when near every one of them can do it just as good if not a hell of a lot better PLUS be effective in the long run. there's not enough diversity i reckon since those 4 sub factions can so easily spam out infantry with no difference in costs or major build time differences to separate the factions from being able to rush super early or not.

 

i don't know too much but its what i see/experience. so before you get upset at me, try putting yourself in my shoes and get early rushed by infantry out of factions who are already powerful enough in the long run who ( in my opinion ) shouldn't be rushing early game AT LEAST not until T2 or minimum of T1.5

 

maybe then Scorpion Cell and Latin Confederation don't need a major buff but at least some tweaks then since they'd be the ACTUAL factions that can early swarm without having to worry about those 4 others doing their jobs for them AND doing a better job than them in the long run.
