My network cuts me off after about 10 to 15 minutes of online gameplay. Not just a Generals thing. Unfortunately it does it with Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds as well. Reason unknown. I've got a wireless home network set up, and a no good phone company. Both are starting to pisd me off.

Anyway, I'm a bad choice to test anything online.

Its not going to take long, its about the EMP mismatch.

[spartan 117]

Now you're all seeing what I meant. Changing 2 units, that's all.

Might have been the F-16 that never got shot down, I keep getting the two confused.

Back to the Auroras...

I think the Aurora Beta should get a new bomb animation if it is going to be the big bomber for Alexander. Right now all I see is a little puff of dust and some faint blue waves. It should be something like a huge blue ball of plasma with a massive shockwave that sends tanks flying.

I agree, SW should get the powerful one, and Air Force could get the FAB.

There's also that zero point bomb VG mentioned a while back...

Isn't that supposed to be a superweapon or a generals power though?

Oh yes, I'm going to start a poll to see what people think.

Get off of a network, use internet, it is much more reliable, or if the same occures with internet then it could be a problem with your modem, also you might want to check your network setings, there might be a refresh period that it cant work, other then that you may have to explore the problem further

[HeartbreakOne]

whats a FAB???

[Allied General]

fuel air bomb AFAIK

Wat about making the SW generals particle cannon alittle stronger then the regular particle cannon.

[PR 4 @LL!!!]

hi @ll,

i rekon that u shud change the coloures of the particles cannons to make each general more differ ent

USA: normal one
laser: red - more powerfull
air force green
sw gen : shud be darker purple and maby last longer

for the arouras i think it shud stay as it is becuz if sw gen gets beta arouras from AFG it wud be unfair and also FAB arouras dont suit AFG i think. and that plane -forgot name - its da 1 that has bout 10 aroura bombs and sum missiles need to be toned down, also i think u shud add a TECH special airfeild or just give it to AFG- wud build A10s not as powerfull as promo and maybe sum other stuff?????

some more ideas *(proberly not good )*

china: needs a new plane cuz u cant get any untill either rank 3 or got propaganda center
nuke: upgrade to nuke to kill gla holes
inf: special barrecks - build hi-tech infantry like sum1 that wud shoot at a medium range and cause a firestorm - reload time - 30secs cant kill air
tank: more variations of tank upgrades on top on emporers and put back in overlords more ups like ECM tower or radar.....

GLA: ability to garrison black markets nd palace up to 8 infanty
toxin: acid tank able to dissolve tanks like toxin tractors do to infantry and sum sort of upgrage to upgrade to acid

demo: demo trap ambush - spawns 2 demo traps newhere deploy from kell

stealth: convoy ambush starts stealth and so does EVERY tank before any promo or palace.

militia: no idea

My answers to your questions:

1. The regular USA particle cannon is great as is.
2. The Laser's particle cannon IS red, and is twice as powerful as regular.
3. The airforce general having a green beam would be cool.
4. Leave the SW Generals particle cannon alone, it's fine.

5. there is a tech airfield, and the ocelot is probably stronger.

6. I think there might be a new plane, but maybe not.

7. Could be coded for the secondary explosion, couldn't be coded for GLA holes only.

8. The infantry general is fine. besides, the tech factory's exosuits are probably better.

9. Sounds like alotta work, and the Emperor is better than the overlord, so why give him overlords too?

10. The GLA shouldn't be able to garrison black markets, black markets should be secretive, and 8 or so soldiers would make it suspicious. besides, VG would have to make at least 3 new models and skins for the garrisonned version (Full, medium, damaged).

11. The acid tank probably can't do that.

12. There's already a nuke ambush, and kell can already bomb stuff.

13. Convoy trucks can disguise, and most of his tanks ARE stealth.

That is all.

If the AFG is to have a green part. beam then i suggest changing the color of the power plant upgrade to green also. I would also suggest that this be applied to the other generals as well. SWG having a BRIGHT blue part. beam instead of a pinkish one, perhaps make her SW larger and the beam have a wider area then the other generals, laser general should have red upgraded power plants, in addition i think the SW for laser should be smaller more focused and mabye 3 times more powerfull instead of 2, with a smaller area of effect SW wise, AFG normal sw, just make it green

Ohh yes and i was thinking about not talking about this cause i love this bug... because it's kind of a cheat, but it doesn't seem fair. When using the usa money drops, if during building you use a microwave tank on it, and after it is built stop the microwave beam, the money will come right away instead of having to wait a few min. Fix time

I almost forgot, Vangard, I still dont know what you think about the Cameo for the SWG:
The one for eye implants giving infantry 25% range boost

I for one agree with ???????.

[PR 4 @LL!!!]

yea i rekon the sw gens shud have less radius but 3 times as stronger and i rekon the power plants shud match the particle cannons beam......................


7. Could be coded for the secondary explosion, couldn't be coded for GLA holes only. ------ DAM!!


9. Sounds like alotta work, and the Emperor is better than the overlord, so why give him overlords too? - becuz u may not ave enuf money and need a heavy tank fast.... but it is alot of work

13. Convoy trucks can disguise, and most of his tanks ARE stealth. - yea but i mean start stealth but maybe thats just silly also i rekon the tunnel network shud start off with 1 hijaker insted of rpgs nd That is all.

and is militai getting that oil well tank to give them secondry money??????????????????????

9. becuz u may not ave enuf money and need a heavy tank fast.... but it is alot of work

13. yea but i mean start stealth but maybe thats just silly.

ok, for 9, I'm not really seeing your point, unless the overlord costs like, only $1200. Other than that, not really a point I'm understanding.
for 13, his scorpions do start out stealth, and they can get dual cannons and rockets with scavenging to lvl 2 scavenge. Perhaps just make the t-60, his other type of main battle tank, stealth too will work.

Good ideas, but I think making the laser generals particle cannon that small would kinda make it more like a high power, high accuracy laser than a particle beam, which I beleive would generally be large.

I never knew about the bug... that will help me for a bit, at least until 8.0.

Cool cameo, very realistic. :thumbsup: You make it yourself?
