This is one of the best mods I have ever played for any game, ever - and thats not just hyperbole.

I believe that with what we have now, a few additions and some promotion and

BAM

everybody will be playing this.

So, what is needed for Defcon?

AESTHETIC
-New tread skins for the vehicles
-Some more varied architecture
-the infantry could look a bit different
-some rigging errors; shells do not exit gun barrels
-a little variety with the Ebres vehicle skins might be nice; gray-black camo perhaps

GAMEPLAY
-everything has increased range, but sight isn't, usually negating your artillery; this needs to be fixed, perhaps with a Scout or Forward Air Observer unit
-garrisoning buildings actually lessens the range of troops; this is bad, especialyl because the AI loves to garrison buildings
-another financial source is needed to sustain a game; perhaps capturable supply drops?

OTHER ADDITIONS
-third side (Egyria) or at least several third-side units for campaign purposes (note that I'd post the Egyria info I wrote up earlier but its in the staff forum... and mastermind, for some reason, took staff access from me...)
-missions/campaign (I drafted a tutorial-esque mission, but mastermind never got to it)
-more base defenses
-more and more of a variety of units (vertiplanes? tilt-rotor transports? controllable strategic bombers?)
-more Defcon!

P.S. Note that I created a Power Point outlining the campaign and also for propaganda puposes, which was to be converted into a video but as of yet hasn't :(

I'd love to do that, but it's a lot of models to do.

Those bugs are fixed for the next version. We'll see about the skins. I personally like them the way they are.

Infantry have a large LOS compared to other units. This gives them a use.

-garrisoning buildings actually lessens the range of troops; this is bad, especialyl because the AI loves to garrison buildings

This was a balance decision, but will likely be revised in the patch. The patch will include a couple of new units to clear buildings earlier.

-another financial source is needed to sustain a game; perhaps capturable supply drops?

We'll see.

No. Too much work, not really worth it.

-missions/campaign (I drafted a tutorial-esque mission, but mastermind never got to it)

There is an extreme lack of mappers and scripters to achieve this.

-more base defenses

Next patch.

-more and more of a variety of units (vertiplanes?  tilt-rotor transports?  controllable strategic bombers?)

The patch will include a few new units, including at least 1 new infantry, and a new helicopter. Beyond that, we'll see.

We'll see about this as well, as currently no campaign is planned for release.

Defcon is an excellent mod, so simple yet so fun

Whens the next release planned Mastermind?

[Mastermind]

Whenever it's done. Probably May or June, if things go well.
