i toyed around with amphibious vehicles in past mods. Your idea should be doable within the existing Framework. You might just use the tesla tank for testing.

A little word of warning, though: amphibious vehicles break the design of quite a few maps.

many cool ideas ITT personally, i prefer the "support unit" idea over the "hero unit" idea. possibilities: MAD Tank's thumping could negatviely influence power within range, high tech within range etc. Power down within range, stop timer on affected high tech buildings or air buildings, disrupt gap ...

i like shockies being effective against both, infantry and vehicles. That's a reward for teching up and shockie's price and build time. It's good to have at least some high tech units that are worth teching up for... what struck me as odd back when they buffed shockies is the huge range they have no...

AA Migs are one of many issues with higher tier units. They're not just an issue of a single unit being underpowered, i think it's more about the question what is it worth teching up for? Many higher tier units such as Mammoths, Migs, MAD Tanks, Chrono Tanks and possibly other units i'm forgetting w...

you can avoid that problem by giving the Mig a secondary armament against infantry (or other units where 4 rockets would be a waste of ammo)

Btw does lowering cost still reduce production time?

you can use custom build times to control these two factors individually, though.

Some posters earlier i.t.t. made it clear that why some people perceive Arty gameplay as OP is not just the range. It is also: Arty+GpS or Arty+Hinds, Shroud logic, firing/reload speed, high damage against all types of units, lack of Soviet counters, vet logic. All of these elements play a role. All...

tested scorps mod and it has the same crashes in the same situations, maybe he already found a solution for this and can help you. unfortunately not. I didn't find the time to trace every engine change that lead to crashes in newer versions. But the Phase tank's cloaking for instance crashes due to...

I think China doesn't fit into the "Soviet" theme. As a different main faction for a Special mod, okay, but as a subfaction it's unfitting. If Russia and Ukraine are already being fragmented, then Kazakhstan, Belarus etc. could be fragmented as well if it's just about having another name for slightl...

+1 for more interesting MAD Tank

wasn't there a Volkov character in RA?

I started to dislike Air-to-Air rockets both from helis and planes recently. I feel autocannons are less annoying because draw line to target. They are tricky Business however

thanks for the test Norman. Yes, with the latest OpenRa version, it crashes in certain situations (returning to the Shell map from a finished game for example as well) and i haven't found a solution to that yet. I think it may be related to the shell map, but not sure. Did the Crash logs that you ha...

So I've been modding the last few releases of OpenRA, mostly adding various units and functionalities to the default RA mod in order to have some more variety in the game. I thought at this point I'd share the mod with the great community here. The idea is that people besides myself get to test it, ...
