ECM. I tried to tell Skywalker to build ECM but he can't recognize it. So, I had to tell him cameo description instead.

It is possible that im ignored while trying to communicate, now i can remember as example "gps scrambler".

Something should be done with gla assault general. With tank units, he should be strongest gla faction, specially in early game, but he is not. Toxin generals units upgraded with chemical warheads are equal or even stronger (comparing scorpions or tunnel defenders).

Few suggestions so far:

-Scorpions rockets should be installed automatically without buying upgrade, but scorpion costs 100$ more

-Scorpions should have 10% of chance to deal jihad damage (something simillar as nuke generals ztz-s, which includes 30% of additional damage and/or dark blue poison cloud)

-workers and supply truck should be affected with battle upgrades (either same upgrade for supply truck and command truck, or assault rifles for workers which are upgraded in war factory, deal 60% damage from jihad warriors rifle, good to engage enemy supply units)

-artillery units should have option "sniper shot" to fire projectile which is accurate same as tank generals sniper, he fires it with barrel down (visual just like when he is driving, barrel is not pointed in the air), shot reloads 1minute, needed to deal fast units like mortar buggys

-vehicle mine sweeper could, as upgrade for scorpion, deal damage when and if crashed with enemy tank (face to face, only against light vehicles)

-quad cannon could be able to transport one infantry unit

-demolisher could be able to throw his iron ball on targeted building, additional damage +30% because of throw acceleration force, but when fired, demolisher is useless, cant reload or use as before (its for cases when rush fails, but you are close to enemy structures)

-technical could transport 4 infantry units which can fire from inside (same as usa hummer)

-stinger trooper could place tnt bomb, cause assault general doesnt have terrorist

-assault general could have some station building which steals 300$ every 2mins at rank1, 600$ at rank2, 1000$ at rank3, 1500$ at rank4, and 2000$ at rank5 from targetted enemy supply center or supply truck. Build limitted 1.


So far, these suggestions are not ballanced, and not serious, but one maybe could be good. Up to creator.

I was thinking of an old version of Contra that was going to allow you to buy experience. It caused mismatches IIRC, so it was scrapped, but I have no idea what was tried.

I was wondering if this method would work:

A building buys the upgrade. The building then creates a fake drone. The fake drone fires a weapon. This weapon triggers a FireWeaponWhenDamagedBehavior in an enemy system unit. This weapon uses an OCL to create another system unit. This system unit grants a lot of experience when killed. The fake drone attacks again, killing it and getting experience (the fake drone then commits suicide, freeing the upgrade to be purchased again), and thus the player gets experience for buying an upgrade.

There are notable flaws with this method:
1) it requires a damage type.
2) it would trigger the effect on every player on the map, getting you a lot more experience if there are multiple players. It'd need another workaround for this.
3) it requires an upgrade slot.
4) buying the upgrade would give experience, not always another rank. That would require yet another workaround, and possibly an upgrade slot for every rank level.

contra had a ranking system so in rank 1 and 2 you must fight for your advantage.
in the vanilla zh i encountered many time that playes just bunkered to build superweapons and/or aroras
now with this option it can be done again

[Arcadian Daze]

sorry fro double posting,

creator a tiny request
can you add the actual katyusha soudn for the katyusha
i just LOVE the howling scream the missiles make

[gundamwen]

Is that possible to put more different engine-sound effects on Tank or armor vehicle also?? i remember when i still played Sudden Stroke 2(World war II war game), The Tiger tank, Panther, panzer, T-34, IS-2, ........They all have different engine sounds and they sound great.

[gundamwen]

I don't know if i should talk about this here, but i believe a lot of people have the same problem, i also have.
I try to play C&C Contra in my Laptop(It contains Windows 7 system), and the installation was pretty smooth, however, after the installation, i updated to 1.04patch version, but when i try to start the game, in the end of loading update files it keep showing the error message as shown below:
Failure renaming/deleting file:/C:Program files/EA game/C&C ZH/EnglishZH.big.
and there is OK button beneath the message. i clicked it, it start over the loading update files again, but in the end, always show the same message, So i couldn't even play the ZH. So any boby has the solution?????

[Su8perkillr]

I think the problem is that you have Windows 7. That fucks up much. I don't want to preach against Windows here, but they screwed up when they began to think that people wanted graphics (background) and not quality. XP is the best

I do agree with you, XP is still the best for some cases. After the failure, i did want to install XP to my Laptop, but the bad thing is, i couldn't even do that, it shows up blue screen.

I have Windows 7 and it's great...maybe you need to change the Permissions at the UserControlPainel

Does ZH work on your Windows 7 computer/??, can you play contra ?? if you can, please tell me how.

MSWS

I was thinking about super unit for super weapon general. Every other
faction has super units, i know SW has multiple super weapons but they are stationary,
and they requires space, power, and reload time.

"MSWS"-which means Mobile Super Weapon System.

This super unit can be built at rank5 ofcourse, and requires only 3 power points.

What does it do?

-This unit can perform "particle cannon" and/or "blackout strike".

How and why?

-This is basically artillery unit, he has 2 buttons (for particle and blackout strike).
Every strike is reloaded 45 seconds and appear from sky. If "particle cannon" is used,
particle cannon beam appears from sky and draws a letter "S" at pointed location.
Has attack radius. Blackout strike turns everything off in pointed location (which
is 1/4 of original blackout strike radius). Best used in combo, blackout strike to
turn units off, and then strike them with particle beam.

So its just a super weapon, why do we need this?

-Why not? Its a fresh unit, its cool, it can be used as base defense, or it can be used
for attacks together with mobile shield generator. It cant be sabotaged like real
superweapon, it cant be stolen, and it can avoid damage by moving. I suggest upgrades like for
laser super unit, which gives him stealth ability or +20% damage for particle cannon.

This would make SW OP since he has unlimited SW in 008...

-could be balanced (who could guess that??)...

very good


i suggest a super airforce unit

it's a groud and air super unit cande built at rank 5 of course and require strategic bombing

this unit can perform b 3 wyvern slid f22 and combat chinock

how and why

this unit has many buttons for these weapons and it can be garrisoned by soliders interceptor bomber and can shot down missils and shells but the attck power is 1/2 the original attack force for the other AF units

[dcesarec]

i suggest a super airforce unit

it's a groud and air super unit cande built at rank 5 of course and require strategic bombing

this unit can perform b 3 wyvern slid f22 and combat chinock

how and why

this unit has many buttons for these weapons and it can be garrisoned by soliders interceptor bomber and can shot down missils and shells but the attck power is 1/2 the original attack force for the other AF units

I notice that people talk about Super Weapon general a lot, A super airforce unit??? I think the stealth bomber in SWG is already pretty strong, 2 bombs can kill one overlord tank, There is no need for stronger airforce, and also those numbers of Super Weapons, pretty hard to due with.

This is why it is just an idea. It's unimplementable. And I think Fafniros is mentioning about superunit for AFG not SWG.
Stealth Bomber (I guess you mean Stealth Carpet Bomber) can kill Overlord with 2 bombs but launching a carpet bombing at an Overlord is a waste. The Gen power can be used to do other better things. If you mean Stealth Fighter, I think it's considerably weak and 4 of them would barely scratch an Overlord. It made up for its weakness with stealth.

About AFG superunit, I would feel better if Wyvern is improved.

Sorry, my mistake, the bomber that i mention about(not B-2 bomber) is not stealth, i never really pay attention what its name is, some pretty advance looking plane fly in high speed to drop only 1 bomb at a time, at the beginning, i thought that was nothing, but it does actually kill one Overlord tank with about 2 to 3 bombs. it is in SWG.
I think the AFG's super attack is the same as SWG（a group of B-2 bombers).
