I laugh at the idea of sniping robots, What will u snipe? no pilot.
Also i think an AI witch is hell bent on kicking your ass would be super smart to know how to build a units that has all its critical working parts protected very well.

UY have to remember alot of todays military units are actuly more designed by computers doing the maths and stuff, so basicly if a computer is used for calulations and such (very complex calculations) then i sure an AI could design and make super advance units that would need more than a simple snipe shot to disable.

i think for the toxic general maybe a small tech tree like the tank general, for acids and toxins. like at rank 5 to build a acid missile Supaweapon, or for the mobile supa weapon, have like a long ranges acid/tocix SCUD.
Or instead of the carpet bombing and planes droppping stuff etc, i think that other upgrades should be availbe, cause most of the generals have like planes droppping things, and different lvls of plane strikes. i think it would be cool if 1 general of each faction got something different, like a tech tree.
or if your going with the strike ideas, for the assult or demo general and shrapnel/flak bomb. it instantly kills all infantry in the AoE and damages buildings/tanks avaliable and rank 3 cost 1. Or for the assult generasl ,An assult bombing run or assult attack. A plane files over head, and rebels inside it throw out petrol bombs and grenades, damageing the buildings, and fire rifles at infantry and rpgs at tanks, in the AoE. rank 3 cost 1
( if its not codelble to have rebels throwing stuff. just make a plane, eg the cargo plane, and just have the rpgs, bombs etc just come out of it, like when infantry are garrisoned in a building or a tank)

i played PR before it is not even close 2 contra(so isnt the only war mod(which suck)because it doesnt have alot of units,the gameplay suck,infantry cant do shit 2 heavy armor (no matter the amount of infantry),they have so little amount of buidings,no air force........(i am not going 2 say more)

Gla was not suppose 2 be powerful
but how about giving GLA units a little more speed and power
i think GLA units(execpt super unit)should have very little armor but high speed and powerful weapons

In searching for good ideas you should look at every mod, which is why I try everything coming out. I like to try out new things.
PR looks like a good idea realized in a bad way, but still has some stuff worth looking into.

Gameplay is the same, don't see what you mean that it sucks. Just typical ZH interface with some micromanagement like switching between ammo types for several aircraft which I found interesting.

Infantry can't do shit? Well excuse me but Infantry Gen, Militia's Fundamentalists, and Elite Rank infantry do well.. Are you sure you got 7.0? And missile infantry is just fine.. I just came back from a 1on1.. Weird. I spawned 6 Rebels with Jarmen Kell inside the enemy base, they were Elite Rank and did some serious damage there just an hour ago.

I agree on the amount of buildings, they have a robotic factory for Tank Gen and such but oh well. Air Force, you are right. Many units, all useless- you can build F23 and stick with that through the whole game, except maybe using Aurora Beta. Other armies have insignificant and buggy air forces.

The units I mention weren't uber, but did what Toxin Gen should do- cover everything with Toxin for Damage Over Time effect plus your typical light tank spam helping out here and there. And in PR the feeling of polluting everything is really there, while in Contra I am sorry but toxins are useless. Even Acid Upgrade is neglectable because everything else sucks so no matter how cool it is on its own, the army as a whole has shallow play.. All of GLA.

In my mind, the basic GLA gameplay should be speed and numbers. Not firepower(average) and not protection(below average).. Just cheap annoying spams of light tanks/infantry that can travel fast for hit-and-run tactics and harassment.. and long range units to assist. Anyway..

when i was talking about the INFANTRY i was talking about ONLY WAR mod(it was in brackets)

wait wait...no one replyed to my idea up top :(

the tech tree suggestion is a good one. It also works well with some earlier suggestions to make AirF general a tech tree general as well. Although, I would make both Chem and AirF partial tech tree guys with only one or two techs and the rest as powers.

[olli]

so u dont like the plane/strike idea?

but if ur gonna go tech tree make it unlock a new superweapon or somehitng that makes acid/toxins do more damage, like a chemical /biological weapons centre, can that houses upgrades and can call in like chemical strike of carpet bomibing, missles and artiallry over a medium area. and i think one like tank gen to make his base defence stronger.

how does GLA get carpet bombing?
i think it should be katyusha rocket

[Phoenix911]

I don't reply to ideas unless i read them and i have been very lazy just latly and right now i too tired to read it fully. but skimmin it and from what pend was saying bout tech tree and stuff sounds ok.

Tiker, i find you just come on the forum to get your posts up and you like post really short irrelevant things ...... make it on topic please
For a GLA power, what about the rebel plane i suggested a page back.. where rebels in side a cargo plabe destroy every thing in an area, by throughing grenades and petrol bombs and firing rifles at infantry and RPGs at tanks, it will work the same way a the spectry gun ship, where u click on a place u want destroyed, only the rifles and RPgs are automatic
