First off, I have to admit, the amount of work going into the Ore Fields(getting them to work perfectly, which is taking much work) has about doubled the size of the mod. It is now around 1 GB. This is a perfect reason that I shall not include them in the first release, which will speed the mod along, while I will come back and fix this up after the first release.

What shall still be in v1.0:

- Full Upgrade trees for every faction(15 upgrades).

- 5 other upgrades per faction. 3 unit upgrades and 2 Special Power Upgrades.(Meaning an overall amount of 20 upgrades per faction, with more to come.)

- Epic Units. Epic Units have been changed. They are now: Future Tank X-1, Tesla Tank(I may 'enhance' the model a little bit), and the Greater King Oni.

- Research Facilities(where you will pay for a majority of the mods upgrades).

- Revised Tech Trees.

- Enhanced AI, perhaps even new AI(although I am going to remove the videos, they are rather annoying).

- Main menu Logo.

- Sped up Ore Node economy.

- Existing balance changes.

- New veterancy levels(General and Major) although I have not figured out how to add new veterancy pictures.

As an alternative to having an ore field button, I have been wondering if it would just be better to have ore nodes and ore fields on maps at the same time. This would reduce the size of the mod enormously(and I do mean, by at least 300 mbs), and be very much easier to code. I will most likely be taking this path, as it would work out the best as well.

This would also mean I could include it in the first release.

ask bibber how to add new vetrancy levels he did for grantball reploded

[Huhnu]

I've had more veterency levels for months.

The thing is I can't figure out how to add new pictures for it, such as the Heroic Star.

[has199]

wher are you going to put the extra five upgrades

[Huhnu]

In structures wher you can use credits buy them.

Science Lab for the Allies, Robotics Lab for the Empire, and I haven't decided what for the Soviets.

[has199]

how about changing the allies to the future tech building and give soviet the science lab because the soviets did capture it and most of the allies tech are made from futuretech

[Huhnu]

Such a large change in my plan is not something I want, besides, an entirely new faction would be hard to do. Also I want to keep the Allies, Empire, and Soviets
