You can't change the stop key, it's hardcoded

[Creator]

I've changed missile silo hotkey already. So, its fixed now.

[fieldwings]

Oh, great. Thanks! What about what I said earlier?

- Flame general: Thermobaric upgrade don't replace Inferno cannon incendiary weapon now. When you research this upgrade, you can switch between incendiary and thermobaric shells.

This is how it was in 006, and I have to ask why you had changed it for 007; same deal with the super unit.

I wanted to simplify micro management. But I did not think that firectorm could be useful in later game. It was my miscalculation.

Ah, I see. I noticed something else; when I altered the Nuclear Storm (for fun) to be upgradeable to Advanced MIRV, the AI actually researched the upgrade for it when they had it! Were you planning on adding that upgrade to it, or is it just a fluke that the AI does something new without being altered?

AI automatically upgrades some upgrades instantly, you can see this with mines, security systems and drones.
so aberrantly it automatically upgrades MIRV for nuke missile and therefor also for nuke storm.

and upgraded MIRV doesn't make nuclear storm allot more powerful because it already destroys everything in the range

[fieldwings]

Not everything. Superweapon buildings and Command Centers, as well as the heavier super units, are capable of surviving the Storm as long as they're in the outer edge of the targeted area. Upgraded MIRV takes it to such an extent that not only do you guarantee the destruction of ALL tangible objects in the target radius, but I refuse to allow the game to allow more than one to be built as long as the upgrade is there, else the game would crash from a buffer overflow. It comes VERY close to doing that anyway if you directly watch the massacre.

[Arcadian Daze]

well maybe but you dont target the storm so that key buildings and superunits are ocn the outer edge.

anyway lets stay OT shall we?

Wow great update! What does the new flame super-tank look like? I don't you have showed us that...

And why has radar van for GLA been moved to the War Factory? Now GLA has no scout to see what general their enemy are, what they are doing etc for early game like USA and China does.

[dcesarec]

Creator,not in any changelog part i did not saw fixed guardian drone texture and new stormtroopers texture.Did you consider them?

[Dr. Lord]

Why does Radar Van need an Arms Dealer? GLA will lost it's early scout, while China and USA will see their opponenets from the beginning.

[Casojin]

GLA can build both Barrack and Arm Dealer much faster than USA or China can (no Powerplant).

[Infinity_Division]

Infantry: Old artillery cannon was replaced with new gattling artillery.

^

Look like Creator present us mini Tremor AGAS. Is it not too OP to advance with very high ROF howitzer? Or it's have damage panalty due to its ROF? Or it's jammer artillery like Remix's?

[Casojin]

I think it would be more like fast-firing and low damage artillery (perhaps long reload time). Perhaps it's something like a unit with same name in Eagle Red RA2 mod. And it's a good improvement too as Infantry General is slow and expensive (plus vulnerable force) who relies a lot on defense.

[Creator]

Wow great update! What does the new flame super-tank look like? I don't you have showed us that...

It is old Iron Fist. It was just renamed.

It was not moved. It is built in GLA Factory, but requires Arms Dealer now. Radar Van gave too much advantage in the beginning. GLA could know everything about its enemy from the start, while China and USA needed to build War Factory or spend general's points for reconnaissance general's powers. In addition, GLA can get Arms Dealer sooner than other factions can get War Factory. So, GLA still has advantage.

Creator,not in any changelog part i did not saw fixed guardian drone texture and new stormtroopers texture.Did you consider them?

I inserted these tectures into the game and looked at them. But I did not like them and returned everything back.

Infantry: Old artillery cannon was replaced with new gattling artillery.

Similar to the one from Remix.

- China: New upgrade: Pneumocussion. Allows Dozers to move by water.

Wow. Just plain Wow. I love you for doing this. Will USA and GLA get possibilities to cross water soon to? Also, Isnt this going to result in a dozer on a lake that moves from place to place to build outposts?

- Infantry: Old artillery cannon was replaced with new gattling artillery.

What does it look like?

[ApOcOlYpS]

USA has chinooks and GLA have (I believe) the amphibious transport which can dig tunnels, and so have it to the same effect.

Also I can't imagine many (if any) maps where it'd be abusable. Even so a simple air strike will get rid of it since t wont have anti air defense.

[lil tasman]

PS: There is not much work remained. One more change log - and alpha version is done.

So is Alpha version ready Creator?

Of course. USA has Chinook. GLA has BTR-50.

Also, Isnt this going to result in a dozer on a lake that moves from place to place to build outposts?

Building on water is not possible.

What does it look like?

You will see.

So is Alpha version ready Creator?

Almost. I just need to finish the code for new Spiders. Their walking animation does not look good in game. Just a couple of fixes - and it is done.
