List of proposed changes to EpicMod 2.0:
- New unit: EMP Hover Tank (Steel Talons/Army Corps) - This is based on an old unit from C&C2 Firestorm as what was used to be called the Mobile EMP Tank. Using the old Shatterer and reused from EpicMod 1.0, it floats when moving and its weapon is based from the secondary attacks of the Enlightened and the Awakened. It fires an EMP blast to any unit or structure and stops functioning for 10 seconds. When fired, it cannot fire again after a 10 second cooldown. Cost 1000 credits.
- New unit: Elf Squad (Army Corps) - A group of 6 with swords effective at against anything except aircraft but must be at close contact range to attack. With special armor, they are fast in terms of offense and defense and they cannot be crushed by vehicles or be dead when cloaked. Cost 1800 credits.
- New unit: Range Costa (Steel Talons/Army Corps) - A lone stealth sniper unit similar to Jarmen Kell from Generals/ZH. It's attack range is as long as any arillery in the field. Its special ability is that every time it attacks a vehicle, it's powered down for 10 seconds due to its EMP bullet blast. Cost 1500 credits.
- New structure: Propanganda Tower (all GDI factions) - This structure not only detects stealth units within a large radius but also makes nearby friendly units increase firepower by 15%. The build limit is 3 per faction. Cost 1000 credits.
- New other structures: Pillbox, Repair Pad, Component Tower
- New other units: Mechanic, Supply Demo Truck
- Three new sub-factions:
*Army Corps - a GDI sub-faction focusing on only infantry battle where most vehicles, aircraft and other technologies will not be used ingame, not even the MARV. Zone Troopers and Zone Raiders will be used heavily there. Features include:
-- all infantry upgrades and support powers. Rifleman Squad and Missile Squad when built will start as veteran status.
-- new units such as EMP Hover Tank, Elf Squad and Range Costa and a new building called the Propanganda Tower.
-- Range Costa will replace the sniper squad for this GDI sub-faction.
-- APCs, Slingshots and Harvesters are still buildable from War Factory. APCs increase its health and attack damage by 30% whereas its cost increased to 1000. Slingshots will have one infantry garrison slot for self-defense.
*Stealth Recon - a Nod sub-faction focusing on stealth where most units can use more recon and sneak attacks than ever. Most units when built will automatically come with stealth. Features include:
-- No cloaking field support power to be used there
-- The Awakened and the Enlightened will be available in the game and are stealthed. The Enlightened will automatically comes with particle beam upgrade.
-- will include Stealth Scorpion Tank, Stealth Avatar, Stealth Beam Cannon, Stealth Flame Tank, Stealth Raider Buggy, Stealth Attack Bike, Stealth Reckoner and even Stealth Redeemer
*Shield-98 - a Scrin sub-faction focusing on defense where most vehicles and aircraft are equipped with forcefield generators when built. Features include:
-- Mechapedes, Ravagers and all mind control units will not be in this sub-faction except Mutant Marauders.
-- Attenuated Forcefields not only apply to Seekers/Gun Walkers but also Devourer Tanks and Corrupters. Cost remains at 2000.
-- Forcefield Generators will also apply to Stormriders as well. Cost reduces to 4000 from 5000.

All harvesters will get their health increased significantly from the original number making them harder to destroy and are equalized.
