It'll be done when its done. You're not going to get any answer other than that in relation to when a mod is to be released.

I know this mod is not moving at an ideal pace, but college does that. I just finished up a round of unexpected projects so I should have time to make some nice progress before my next round of exams.

i love this mod even if i can only play the robot AI, i hope a newer version comes out soon itd be sick

Personally I am not that great at the game, so me being GLA would go badly and there is more than enough fun that can be had against just a single type of opponent.

And here is a tip, try some of the other Nations for the computer opponents. some of them can do rather well despite being crippled.

And last but not least, this mod is something a single person is working on in his spare time. If you are not being an active part of the development process you, have no real rights to complain about the speed of progress.

The first thing I can say is that robot AI will not be the only AI that you can play against. However, the AI that was in the alpha that was released has been completely scrapped. Unfortunately I don't have much experience with making AI the way I'm making the new AI, so it has been alot of trial and error, which is slowing things down alot. As I get closer to finishing the AI I may put up a little more information on how each "difficulty" operates.

I will not give any type of release estimate, even though I'd like to. This is mainly because I have hit issues that have taken up to two weeks for me to fix and I can't say for sure that another one of those won't pop up. I have a few more news items that I will post once most of the polishing is done, so that will atleast indicate that its close.

Nice to know. Keep working!!

When you say you completely scraped the Robot AI, how has it changed since the alpha, if you don't mind me asking?

Currently it doesn't base spam as much as the AI in the alpha does, which makes facing it a little easier. However the attacks are grouped much better (much less unit streaming) which makes it a little harder to face. Rather then facing 20 infantry one at a time, you will face 20 infantry at one time (and in most cases from more than one direction). In addition to that the difficulties will work a little differently. Rather than the AI being harder in all areas it will get more aggressive. So easy will build the mostly same base as normal and hard but will focus more on defense and less on offense (and will also be renamed to defensive AI).

[m3rc1l3ss]

The fact that they will have the same base buildup for all difficulties is awesome. I have never been really good at facing the harder difficulties, but it was always annoying to see such wimpy bases for the easy general in Vanilla Generals.

Since the easy one will be renamed defensive, will the other difficulty levels gain new names also?

[Rosco9487]

Yes, they will. The harder difficulties will use more aggressive play styles and will be renamed to mach whatever style they end up using.

[PhanaticZ]

i really like the idea of defensive?aggresive type opponents, i love this mod keep it up dude

[smacky!]

yes! please keep up the goo dwork and please keep us updated if you can! i just joined to LYK that you're doing some awesome work and would love to see this come to fruition - sure to rise up the ranks at moddb! if you can, please don't forget about us Mac ZH players - there aren't many of us, but we do exist and all we need is the files; we can manually load ourselves, having had to do it so many times! it's a hassle to have to copy it over to the pc side, and install it, copy the relevant files and THEN go back to OS X, but you do what you have to, i guess! just a glancing request, noot a big deal (finishing is more important!LOL!)

Does the AI still have the same tendency to widely expand his base out to wherever it can go?

I meant to ask that before, playing some other mods the AI can be way to easy, as they just build up in the assigned area around the HQ and never actually expanding out.

It will.

I think that the remix will be a breakthrough in the genre of strategies and forms a new genre of strategy-horror.

I fail to see where you are getting survival horror from. Care to elaborate, or are you simply trolling the forums?

Its vauge, but that leaves so much room for interpritation. I like to think he's saying the hard/insane AI will just be that scary

The insane AI reminds me of getting ants in the house, you can keep hitting them, but it is really hard to get them to go away Also the way it spreads out is truly evil I cant wait to see how you do the GLA AI so it is not completely overpowered by the other forces (should be fun as GLA is light, fast, and cheap making them a good fast moving strike entity)
