I have a few ideas for skirmish or campaign that can be ignored...
A flying mobile gap generator called a Penumbra that has the support ability to project shroud anywhere on the map.
A new naval unit for the Latin Confederation called the Gadfly Airchaff Carrier that are smaller and more maneuverable than the Allies aircraft carrier unit but has a crucial difference in that the Gadfly Airchaff Carrier releases more durable and annoying but ultimately harmless aircraft (Airchaff) that distracts AA units and structures while allowing other units to exploit such an opportunity.
A new unit for the Euro Alliance called the Chrono Praetorian that is like a slower-firing teleporting Rahn but instead of mutating infantry into brutes it "mutates" any unit both infantry and vehicle into a Semi-Sapient Chrono Vortex that travels across the ground and sea as a hovering unit that can instantly destroy any unit and building at close range as a space-time suicide unit by removing them from existence.
I like these ideas, especially the Gadfly, given that Dreadnaught missiles are a wide target.
Here's my ideas:
- The Soviet subfactions get a Commissar support power, deployable from a Field Bureau and able to be deployed once it has the Soviets respective tech centers constructed like the Drakuv. It would cost $2100 credits and would take 6 in-game minutes to have another Commissar ready. The Commissar can give a 12% firepower buff to Soviet infantry in it's radius of effect, like the SODAR Array but smaller for the sake of balance (unsure if the effect should be stackable like Syncronin and Syncronauts.) Especially effective against hordes of Epsilon and Foehn infantry, to allow the Soviets a fighting chance. The Commissar has no weapons, meaning he obviously must be supported.
Description: "Soviet infantry division's were largely effective during the beginning of the Third Great War, thanks to the use of urban combat preparations and auxiliary support. Together with powerful armor battalion's and naval armada, Soviet High Command placed a demand that all officers are to keep out of the frontlines, to give orders to their troops and render them safe from Allied covert assaults".
"The emergence of Yuri's Epsilon and their stealthy surprise attacks on Moscow, Stalington, and Zaragoza has rendered many high-ranking Soviet leaders dead, their military suffering numerous casualties. With the depleting morale of surviving Soviet troops, the desperation of the Soviet generals brought in the presence of commissars to bring order back to their forces".
"The presence of a Soviet Commissar sends an aura of confidence and inspiration for Soviet soldiers, making them fight harder and brutally for their people".
- Latin Confederation gets the Yak from Red Alert 1, replacing the Foxtrot. The Yak plane fires phosphorus bullets like the Gyrocopter, but more accurate and deadlier to infantry. A group of Yaks can also heavily damage lightly armored structures or destroy them, but they are not much against defensive structures or vehicles. They would cost $1450 for a single aircraft unit.
Description: "During the Second Great War, the Soviets dominated the air, terrorizing many Allied infantry with Yak fighter planes, fittingly nicknamed 'infantry erasers'. Many armada's of these planes would go on strafing runs, killing groups of Allied infantry and ripping apart lightly armored structures. Even with the Allies superior anti-aircraft means, they still were a huge threat towards their infantry squads. With the Allies victory over Stalin's regime, the Soviets air superiority, Yaks alongside them, were dismantled and abandoned to gather dust".
"It wasn't until the Soviets invasion of the United States of America and subsequent capturing of Allied air bases that their old jet aircraft were to be reinstated. While the Mig was reborn under it's designation Foxtrot, the Yak was disowned by it's Russian owners, considered obsolete compared to the superior weapons of the Foxtrot and the versatile Wolfhound. Recognizing the demand to bolster the firepower of their Confederation allies, the Russians sold the design for their benefits".
"The Confederation's engineers, instead of adding more armor to the antiquated jets, ignored all possible vulnerabilities, stripping them down and upgrading as much firepower as they can. The Yak is now outfitted with phosphorus bullets to set groups of infantry ablaze and shred light buildings, at a much faster rate than their older versions. It'll make it's status as 'infantry eraser' known once more".
- Have the Old Allied Phase Transport from Aftermath reappear as a campaign unit, where an Epsilon Covert Ops or Cooperative mission is set to obtain the vehicle and escape, giving Epsilon the inspiration to use cloaking technology, similar to how the Terror Drone was created by Chitzkoi's cyborg structure.
