i was thinking about a super unit for general superweapon
called the minoutour (excuse for english i'm dutch) it'l be build like this
http://highlights.ul...-5/AT-AT006.jpg
but then the legs are shortet by an half. it can shoot with a mini particle cannon on the upside of the unint
it can lay EMP mines by a cannon and just like shield gen it can let it explode.
the canons on the front of the unit will be EMP beams who shut down a vehicles and it can also target aircrafts and bring damage
also there wil be an anti infantry microwave beam(this one cannot target defenses because it'll be unfair, also the damage it brings on the enemy should been some less.
i hope you like it

Yeah! why can't we? People say it's buggy. But look, Drone controllers. Drone upgrades. they're all the same!

Drones don't fly towards target by themselves. You need to order carrier to attack something. In this case drones fly forward. But they do nothing without orders. It means that any unit can close and attack carrier without recieving return fire. I had been reported about this bug a while ago. This is why I rejected old Drone Controller and made a new one. And I don't want to return to this buggy system again.

Here are some suggestions:
1.Infantry gen. is logically mostly infantry using, but you sometimes just can't help thinking that he needs some kind of a supporting tank to assist and draw enemys fire on ambitious assaults. How about giving him an artillery/tank supporting unit, that would have the range of a regular tank and had to deploy before shooting? It could be a low and long unit that would have throngs of missile launchers hidden under thick plates on its top. When deployed, it would start fireing small missiles at great speed towards its target (perhaps the same missiles that the tank hunter has?). The missiles could target both air and ground units, but when used on ground units its missiles would be somewhat inaccurate and scatter around the target. The missiles would be most effective against tanks and helicopters, but weak against infantry, other individual targets, fast ground units and fast planes. If possiable, the missiles would also lock on to large ground targets, sutch as emperors, immolators, iron fists, etc. but only to large ground targets and aircraft. The unit would be rahter slow to turn but would move as fast as minigunners.
It would be called Swarm lord.

2.Couldn't infantry gen. have a fourth level infantry drop that would be a bit like with cybers commando call? It would be just a single plane that would drop several special units untrainable from barracks or other buildings. The units would have good armouring and a mobile gauss gun (not much weaker than the fixed one with tank gen.), making them a grave threat to any short-ranged ground unit. They could also place TNT charges and become invisiable while standing still. They could target air units as well, but the gauss cannons would be really weak against them.
They could be called elite paratroopers (how original eh?) or something.

3.Couldn't the generals powers be added to the contra homesite, too? Or at least, some of them?

4.I'm bringing this up for the second time, but couln't the nuke general have a flack tank instead of a gattling tank? Now it would be even more useful for it would be more effective at defending the base against airunits.

5.Since SW general is a base builder, you don't always bother to scout the terrains to find out about your enemys movements, especially if you'r against stealth finding its base is rather annoying if you don't/can't use scouting units to find it (against human players playing with stealth, they can move their bases away from the starting place). So how about at fift rank you could build a satellite link to one of your command centres that would seem like a long antenna or a larger satellite dish. The link would be in contact with a satellite named Odyssey and call it to observe the battlefield. It would reveal all of the map completely and only hidden units would not be seen. The satellite would also be able to scan the battlefield like the radar scan for hidden units. The satellite would remain over the battlefield as long until the command centre with the satellite uplink is destroyed.

How about these suggestions this time? Any better than earlier?

1 mil starting money. is 100k not good enough for you. I only play with 10-20k starting cash. It's not the most difficult thing in the world.
Also, I've never seen a problem with the old camera. I suppose on a bigger screen you may want to zoom out more, but thats all i can think of for changing it.

[PeeWee]

but unfortunately, the camera still like the same old CnC general
my suggestion is fix the camera
it's so annoying when use in large monitor ( i,e = 22 inch )

What do you mean? you can manually change the resolution in some .ini file (i think its in 'my documents').
It works pretty good on my 22" widescreen. (1680x1050)

Time does not mean anything. For example, many people still play Team Fortress. It is mod for 1st Quake. I'm familiar with 5 Team Fortress clans in Moscow. Also many pleople still play Red Alert-2 and Tiberian Sun. They don't need graphics. They need gameplay. Good graphics makes the game attractive for the first time. Good gameplay makes the game immortal.

i agree if it wern`t for mods i would stop playing a long time ago if i need to wait to 2009 so be it i would say when all is done the battles would be zo much better because there probably be bug free and thats something everyone would enjoy

[xenomorph]

I already did as this mod just sucks bc of the promotions and btw no mod can beat zh

Your a turtle player aren't you?
Which is why you hate the promotion tech tree? because you can't dont gain rank.

And the origional ZH is bland and boring.

Also in Contra, She has 4 superweapons.

ICBM
Blackout
Particle Cannon
Tomahawk storm

iam also a big turtler myself i like the promotion system i never had any trouble with it (ai and human players) they intend to attack any way and if not you just need a hit and run kinda tacktick to get to rank 3 then use general powers to gain additional rankings works with all generals

[FlyingDeath]

I didn't have much Probs now......... after I learnt: don't turtle so Much^^
the Prob is........... the KI Levels up too Fast, and IF they leveld up, they are Nearly Unstoppable, if you aren't at rank 3 or Higher^^
My hope is, that the KI doesn't youse the Buyable-Promotion, becaurse they are Spawning Money like.... like........ uhhm I can't find an Example to describe this shit Cheating KI^^ My suggestion is, to make the KI a Bit harder in the Beginning ( Becourse my Tanks Pawn them......... LOL ) and a bit Weaker at the End ( Me and My bro had a Match about nearly 1 Hour against 2Insanee.............. the Prob was, the Assoult was Rushed by me, and the Tank gained Rank 5 in 2min...... so we had to Defend against the Army of Shaitans, Emperrors, Manticores, Earthshakers and Banshees............... Till my Shaitans Pwned his Base and Rocks this Crap to Dust )
Becourse I build 9 ZTZ, 9 Gattling and 9 Dragons and Pwne An Insanee in Early game


Sry for my Bad english

by the way, are you guys have problem like me??
well, i was play 4 VS 4, then when the unit become too much, it make my game crash
are anyone have this problem too??

yes when we play lan games and both decide on a turtle strategy it tends to slow the game or crash it just attack faster and more preciesly

[chanhdat]

Hmmm, may Tank Hunter have chance to be able fire air target, like original version again? I tried out this MOD since last Sunday. But they didn't shoot the Commanche down. I'm new here.

No problemo.

And yes, Generals tend to lag like crazy, im not so sure even the best of PCs can handle a detailed 8-player map.
I suppose that is why people make these very plain tournament maps with no trees and just 1 type of terrain, these work alot better and tend to be fun too!
