Selling buildings is a good idea.
Steal an enemys building sell it. hahahaha.
And I have always felt burton had a distinct disadvantage over other hero's
(Demo Kel anyone?)
But maybe if usa got a hero vehicle or plane?
It could work.
Oh and guest... Why not register? makes you have a face on the fourms.

I completely agree with Umedic, Col burton is quite weaker than other heroes, his only good thing is that he can climb over cliffs and use knife on Infantry. I suggest giving him the ability to clear buildings like a toxin tractor or a flashbang G.

about infantry general:
I think the infantry general should replace the gattling cannon defence with gattling bunker, just only the fortress bunker but a gettling cannon defence on top of it(objectcreation upgrade or something else). the gattling cannon will be shut down if the power supply is low.
and other suggestion is assault supply truck. it can hold 2 or more guards (and PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes).
that is what i want to say, infantry general's main character is infantry, everything is support to infantry, just like his bunker powerplant.

My suggestion: make a thread for mod progress! so we all can watch and wait



oh, and landable helicopters! get that!

i already suggested something like this, basicly my idea was to make a bunker with a moduler upgrade on top, this could be gattling cannons, small artil cannon, propoganda speakers, radar, ecm or watever else someone can think off.

Its a suggestion that was never forgoten, but I still don't know if I'll do it.

Here's the first problem:

There are 2 ways to make modular anything. An overlord addon, or an object replace.

1. Overlord Addon, Conflicts with Garrison Contain. You can have a bunker that IS an addon, but you cannot have a bunker WITH an addon. Additionaly, if that were sidestepped, there remains the problem that objects inside an overlordcontain module ignore the POWERED condition state. This creates a big problem with base defenses.

2. Replace behavior when applied to a bunker, will kill all garrisoned troops inside. The bunker could be made non-garisonable until AFTER the upgrade, but then it kinda kills the bunker fealing.


I have always kept open the option of a Heavy Bunker for Infa general. It wouldn't be a modular bunker, but it could have a top mounted turret. maby even a few different turrets... like 1 artillery and 3 SRM turrets... plus bunker 10 men. that would be pretty super bunker.

[Phoenix911]

i would not have caredif you could not put men in the bunker untill it has an add on, mostly all ppl that build a building with an add on will naturaly upgrade an add on instantly.
its just liek teh airforce fire base once i build i upgrade it before any men go in.
just natural for me to do that.

well, that aside, I've been thinking about what I posted earlier, and I'm getting psyched on it.

I really like the thaught of a SuperBunker with long and short range weapons plus huge garrisoning abilities. Almost like Infa general's equivilent to the (Remix) SDI cannon. "Ph34r my base defenses, bitch!"

With 12 garrison slots plus 3 SRMs and 1 LRM(or artillery) it would be a VERY formidible base defense. Filled up with gattling and PTRK troopers it would be almost unbreakable by anything short of a super weapon or a FULL attack.

mum...what about this : you know helix can put men in and can upgrade addon. make the bunker as a special "helix" on the ground and it can not move.

more advanced infantries!
Advanced barracks - armed with defence weapon( machinegun?? just like Xenoforce), because commandset just 14 buttons.
Officer - propoganda speaker, scout- radar, hacker or something- ECM, mortar infantry - artil cannon...
just garrison em into the bunker hehe

and another suggestion:
airforce general:
Rocketeer , you kow what it is.
remove the particle cannon uplink , use tomahawk storm or heavy air strike( more B2s, more Auroras or some planes) as a superweapon.

Wait for remix then u can see the airforce gen's make over.

That is a VERY good point. I will look into the Helix contain, I think you are right about it having mixed container behaviors. Although, I'm willing to bet money that helix contained objectes still ignore the POWERED condition state.

We've been talking about a variety of options just like this. We will see.

All of these are already planned. Officer, Scout, and Mortar are all done or in the works.

airforce general:
remove the particle cannon uplink , use tomahawk storm or heavy air strike( more B2s, more Auroras or some planes) as a superweapon.

Already done in remix3. theres actualy 2 different ones for AirForce General. Stratiegic bombing and Saturation bombing.

well, and other point is HideSubObject/ShowSubObject, the example is Landraider from Project Raptor

I'm very familiar with hid/show, it has its limits though. While it can be setup creativly to do alot there are limits and problems inhernt just like any other method.
