Its ironic and predictable.....


On the contrary.... the rank restriction prolongs the game and stops you teching up so quickly like in the origional ZH. you could have a superweapon built in 3 minutes and have the game over in about 8. Thats boring.

Or try the mod Remix 3.... that doesn't have the rank build restrictions, but tech level restrictions, and you need to research a new tech level from the command centre after certain buildings are built.

Get rid of the promotions and give a boost to the defences..

Not.

Hmm... I'm thinking about to release 2 versions. Contra 006 - classic Contra with promotion system. Contra 006A - the same, but without promotion system. It can satisfy the most of players.

The biggest thing that a mod makes unique are the special units and factions.

No. You need especial gameplay. People don't need clones of Generals which just look different.

The special thing for swg is Sws but u need to get to lvl 5to build sws

Honestly, rank 3.

LawL the only reason why I turtle is bc I play vs Insane comps to get promoted fast...and other comps dont work. Well ZH pwns...and the only good mod wich I played was shockwave and tht defence mod..I also would have liked this mod as it had cool units and armies but the promotion thing just makes it boring.

Awwww. He plays against insaine. Isn't that special. Please. Don't say you need to turtle until you and your friends take on the insaine ai in Remix (3 btw). They actually arn't that hard. as long as the person across from them doesn't die, you can get around the side of the map to his base easy.

But seriously, insaine isn't anything special. 2 ppl vs 6 insaine enemies, withought turttling. My friend and I do it all the time. (we do build defences for the early few strikes, but unless ur usa (which I also bet u play as most. SWG probably?) you have no planes for anti artillary, so you really can't turtle).

Also. how much $$$ do you start with? (if you're over 20k, than you really need a new play style.)

other thing. played shockwave, not too great. it doesn't seem to change too much from version to version, so get the first one and you'll still have about everything.
And look, you liked the defence mod. I wonder why?????

A simple launcher would be cool... it could just rename the .Big and .Scb files to play the correct version. With just a little tweeking it could be used to play default ZH and change language versions too.

That would rock.

Amen to that! I honestly have to say the thing that makes Contra and Remix truely different from mods such as Shockwave, Project Raptor, or even Vanilla ZH is that we aim to change the game-flow. Personaly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Making new units is not nearly as important as changing HOW the player plays.

[Thats me!]

well
i like the promotion system and i think contra wouldn't be half as fun the if promotion system is removed,cos if that happen you can build sw within 5 min and you wouldn't build any units , you wait for the sw and fire it(it will be like a sw skirmish)
so please don't remove the promotion system

A launcher would be a good idea, but i wouldnt release 2 versions just because its prolly alot more work for you, upping the relase date

I think the AI's insane cheat should be removed or at least nerfed abit, coz 4 X promo is just sick, lol but AI money is ok .

[Legend_28]

ROFL, u calling HIM the noob when YOU edit your skirmish money to infinaty?!?!

OMFG L2P!

And AFG owns at start, use the anti defence ones on defense and AA units then rush in with comas and RocketVees.

I played a game online with a map where you have infinite money. 2v2 human match. IT'S BORING AS HELL. My ally built like 30 war facs and started mass spaming tanks. The game nearly froze, but our opponents stood no chance. It's like a 10000000vs10000000 unit war, no stratagy at all. Rushing is a tactic, but not much of a stratagy. If you can't win a game withought killing the opponent by rushing them, you'll lose most of your multiplayer matches. A human player can easily stop a rush, and if they do, they have the economic advantage. (which is why I don't rush. I don't like to take that chance)

There is the same AI for all 3 difficulty levels. Difficulty is adjusted with ammount of cheats.

but the units in a mod/game make the gameplay.

Not always. You can add a unit which does not change anything.

If you put a unit in wich kills every building in 1 shot the gameplay wont be fun.

Commandos in CnC1, RA1 and CnC3 can kill every building in 1 shot. Is it sux?

Yes as its more fun playing with infinite money.

It screws up the AI. Computer waits until it gathers enough money to build something. It does not use -1 dollar cheat.

WTF, Contra $100,000 starting money is enough to last me an entire game! (1V1)

And Creator i was awear of the AI multipling bonuses i think X4 is just a little bit unfair, but then again it is Insane!

If Creator remove the promotion system, Contra will lose the uniqueness...

[Thats me!]

^You must be kidding
you can't defeat a gla ai with usa

Creator:1)will laser have more plasma weapons then particles in the next version?
2)will flame have more at weapons in the begin?
