Should I make it so you can't play her anymore, because it does interfere with the Random Player, she will still be in the Challenge mode to play against, but not select.

It interfering with Random Player is pretty annoying, but... on the other hand... it's a perfectly good whole side.

Perhaps, if it's possible and not too much effort, include a toggle file for it, as you did with the weapon effects? One with one without?

Oh and BTW PR4 is one of the most consistantly fun ZH mods i've had the pleasure to play since DZ. Alot of mods have nice graphics, models etc, and this one's no exception, but this one's really fun to play. Many others get boring after you've played each side once to ogle the eyecandy... good work, and thanks! :)

I voted Yes to get rid of her, because I feel that her 'slots' if you will, could be better utilized by brining in a whole new side: Russia, Iraq, N. Korea, Iran, etc...

Or a new general for the existing sides: GLA Nuke General, GLA Boss General (taking the best of all GLA weapons and with some older Russian weapons thrown in), USA Boss General, U.S. Black Ops general, U.S. Navy Admiral, A Chinese version of an Air Force General, etc...

Or if you really wanted to do something totally off the wall, I have heard about, but have not seen, a mod that does sort of like MechWarrior type bots. Call him the Fantasy General.

My point is that I don't play the Boss general that much. She's not that exciting, at least to me anyway. I would rather see new sides more than I would a mix of the three sides which she has right now in the game.

Just my two cents worth.

I'm with bob...the boss general begins to get REALLY boring after a while (having all the superweapons and all) but is a fun enemy (i guess)....I think more new generals would be more effective. Also, the mechwarrior idea is pretty cool (other 'mech mods suck)

What exactly is 'normal'?

Mechs in Generals? Sounds kinda crazy. Can't say I'm really against it, but Mechs are a bit overpowered. If you want a fantasy general, Mechs are good as super units that you can't build very many of and the superweapon could be some sort of teleporter like the RA2 Chronossphere. Is that possible on the Generals engine?

Fantasy Gen airborne: spacecraft: These guys can hover, and to get through defenses you can have them go straight up into space (temporarily so you can still control them if you right click accidentaly) and come back down wherever you want to UNLOAD!!! That would probably be more fun than Leang, as much as I like having all superweapons.

If you eventually decide to keep her, give her a full Nuclear Silo because that suits China better than an ion missile.

well, i still think that leang's stuff should be upped to the fantasy general....and i think all those extra generals will make a very nice addition to the PR game (tho i suggest 'finishing' with one side before beginning with a new one ^_^)

Dumb these ideas down like 100 times, you can't have objects "go into space then come down where you want them to unload everything from their solvo" that is impossible.

How about shooting a satellite into space that stays there and you can use the sidebar to make it shoot the enemy base?

That would be part of a story then, because you can't launch something from the ground to space ingame, and not have it come back down.

That would be the same as the boss gen then, I can't add more sides to the AI, it can only hold 14, and I must use the Civilian folder for some things in the AI, so I can't replace it.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm all for more sides, even if the AI can't control them in any type of game mode. These new sides would be player controlled only sides. For player vs. player use.

The big issue would be how to let the new game players to PR know that these are player controlled only sides, and that in no way ever will the computer AI control them.

My other question would be, IF you decided to go this route and create player controlled only sides, would there be another ceiling of some sort that would prevent you from doing this?

Sorry, but inquiring minds want to know. :p

No there is no ceiling, but there is no way to make it so the computer knows that they are Player Controlled only. So all in all this subject shall be dropped until further notice as I wont be adding new sides in any of the next releases. I may add them as a seperate installment, but I really really doubt it.

You know how if you mouseover a side when choosing one it brings up a description? You could say Human Only or No AI here.

Ummm ^. And no I already said that I wont be adding any, and that wont stop it from picking it when the player choses Random, and if your about to ask me if I can remove the Random option no I can't.

well, if there is no good solution then I'm afraid to say you must get rid of the Boss General.
