So just a few hours ago, I dreamed that I was playing what I believed to be one of the upcoming missions from Mental Omega. It went like this:

 

So I had already built up my base in the southwest (was playing as the Euro Alliance). The Soviets were in the northeast just sitting around and minding their own business. Suddenly, one of my tanks makes contact with an enemy Rhino (for some odd reason) and engages it. This results in a full scale attack against my base with a Kirov airship coming to take out every structure (except my construction yard). I quickly pack up the conyard and strangely make a run for the Soviet base. I notice a weird structure (looked like a Pagoda) along the way and decide to head for it. All the while, the kirov airship is chasing me around LOL. Suddenly, one of the airship's bombs strikes the Pagoda, destroying it and causing the screen to fade to black. 

 

Any clues as to what this might be a sign of?

Cannot simulate fade to black, only sudden black.

 

Sorry, this seems like a sign of an impossibru.

Please revise your dream. :>

Also, as far as I know, you can't pack up conyards in campaigns.

Didn't stop the Confed AI in Huehuecoyotl.

 

Internets for anyone who figured out how on earth did the Confed AI manage to pack up the ConYard in Huehuecoyotl, without looking that the map code

Perhaps it was the prototype of an enhanced MCV that the Confederation was developing, and deployed it in spain for testing purposes. The higher mobility and versatility provided by the packup ability cercainly fits into the Confederations hit and run-focused combat doctrine.

 

This technology reemerged again after a while, and over time spread to every faction. Which finally makes it baseline during skirmish/multiplayer games (which happen VERY late in the timeline, what with Foehn being around, and equipment that has like prototype status in the campaigns like the Centurion and the weather control device having enough production means by now that they can be issued to commanders on the field fairly regularly).

Hmm, a lore for developing MCV repacks? Interesting...

 

EDIT: But there still isn't any lore for giving the player buildable MCVs.

Gonna guess,
1. You coded it the way Stalin's Fist deployment works
2. The CY is sold but spawns an MCV
3. You turn MCV Repack on in the map
