We are a little off topic from best mod to best general... and Remix3 isn't on the list to worry about. This vote is really about what is the best Contra version.

But, as far as our off topic rant... I love AirF general, I love Tank General... Really, I love all the generals I've modded. Any general in the list can rock the map if it just matches your play style. I'd rather micromanage 10 units than spam 100, so AirF is right up my ally.

With AirF there are tricks too to breaking another player in PvP. My favorite is to use several B-52s with gaurd orders around thier base edge. In the safe zone, about 1 full screen width away from the AA zone I place a couple AWACS and a few interceptors. These will shoot down 90% of the missiles before they catch your planes. Then, once the B-52s are safe and hammering the deffenses constantly, fighter strikes can be made against choice targets with ease. Also, I target defenses or powerplants with the general's powers instead of buildings. You'll still use some units to AA, but its well worth it to kill with inpunity.

I've Voted Contra 5 since the was no Remix 3:(

[Death_Pheonix]

id say Contra 005, even though i havent played remix 3 alpha, becuase it crashes when i install it (while doing it right), because in contra it makes you value your units for most of the game, you dont send units to die for no reason it makes it feel like a real war

[PR 4 @LL!!!]

thanks dave1 now i can look forwards to remix 3, but will it based on contra 5 or 4?? cheers

[olli]

remix 3 is a totally different play style than contra 5/4. creator and pend share there work, so some models from contra 5/4 will be in remix 3, and visa versa. remix has some of its own unique units ans buildings. and the escalation tech upgrades are different from the rank restrictions in contra.

your obviously not installing it correctly... unless you have the version of ZeroHour that has a duplicate inizh.big in the ini folder.

lol i know its an understatement, i ment theres loads of things in remix, but what i mistakenly put is that there are some contra units in remix and visa versa. lol i didnt mean to type that, you know i mean FUCKING LOADS!
Woot i saw the retrobution tank llol looks fun, i rekon theres more things youve added tbh. whats the tank with the single long cannon on the last photo sheet, where the retrobution tank and dragons touch missile thing is? i take it thats the irradiator tank.
to PR 4 @all, yes remix is the one with the ownage AI.
what are the old skool looking mechs in the first Screenshot pend? i take it they have been replaced with the HK man hunter and tank hunter mechs?

lol pend, i noticed you changed your zombies sig to Remix 3 like mine

[Capt.Drake]

Pend most of the stuff you showed there I already know but some I don't, so I can't wait for the next version of remix^^

And olly your sig is tooo big

[olli]

bah. make it smaller for me then

[Phoenix911]

I still loved them old skool mechs :">
And olli your not telling PR 4 All the truth about the AI....

PR 4 All the AI is not just ownage its more "Play this if u wanna die" type ai, ON insain i think you will find there is a good 1/10 chanse you will win.
Really it would be more like 0.5/10 lol

Insain kicks ass.

[olli]

lol, that is true:)

there i made my sig smaller, just for you drake:)

[Phoenix911]

there i made my sig smaller, just for you drake:)

Not just for drake but the admins aswell cos they bitched at me for the longest time about my old one so i would have bitch slapped u if u ignored drake

[Capt.Drake]

we are getting off topic, but okay man, anybody ready to give me some €? So I can get my PC earlier? I want to work a bit for remix so that we could repeat this vote

[Death_Pheonix]

stalling it correctly... unless you have the version of ZeroHour that has a duplicate inizh.big in the ini folder.

i have the Asia pacific version (Australia)

actually i don't have the duplicate, i put the BIG file in the Root directory D:/(where Generals is installed)
i put the skirmish scripts in D:\(where Generals is installed)\Data\Scripts, i put the English file in D:\(where Generals is installed)\Data\English, and yes there were no other files in here!

and i get serious error.

if i have missed something let me know

Yeah... you installed it wrong. Remix doens't go in the game root, it goes in the D:\(where Generals is installed)\Data folder.
