french civilians you can only build in 5er squads, La Resistance!! but planting bombs and shooting is something Tanya already can. So we need different abilities.

Sniper paradrop would fun!FiveAces wrote: If snipers prove to be a balance issue as a mass-produced unit, how about having them as a support power?
Helipad as a prerequisite, 4 minute cooldown to deploy a team of 2 snipers onto the battlefield (dropped from a chinook, anywhere on the map)?
That would turn them into more of a strategic element.
I'm not a fan of raw statistical increases as a faction trait, and this would add to the gameplay imo.

Maybe switch their theme over to "Guerilla warfare"?
That would tie in with both the obfuscation (mobile gap/fake structures) and ambush tactics (Sniper drop).

Give Hijacker to France, I mean why the hell do soviets have that anyway?
Hijacker and Sniper, France should have stronger infantry in general?

A Topless Tanya would make France more appealing.

I like these changes! Fake structures will be better concealed with a clever health bar that drops like a real structure. This encourages the deception plays that I've hoped for, and actually witnessed some players try out lately. Also a big health buff to the fake Nuke Silo and Chrono (pdox?) will make France very tech resilient in the late-game.

Q what are the french famous for ?
Englands got James Bond
France invented grenadiers
EUREKA
A grenadier (from French, derived from the word grenade[1]) was originally a specialized soldier, first established as a distinct role in the mid-to-late 17th century, for the throwing of grenades and sometimes assault operations. At that time grenadiers were chosen from the strongest and largest soldiers.

Give france the grenadier A buffed usefull version

Another idea (from reddit): a shroud generator!
France has a gapgenerator that has a small radius at first, but it grows over time!

France seems to be lacking attractive attack units. Gap Generators and fake buildings are fun, but you also want to attack to be winning games.
I use a cost-effective Special Forces infantry unit called (not surprisingly) the Legionnaire for France in my game. Doesn't completely offset the game (not-Tanya), but gives them a slight boost in the infantry game.

What about demo trucks, that get dropped like parabombs? I'd love it

There was another female character included in the original game but she was disabled/dropped.
the GFX files for that unit should be fairly easy to find and use
there are quite a few civilian types in the original game, maybe one of those could be repurposed ?
just a thought

@dzine : what you refer to is "Megan"
according to "Ishmael" its cut content https://web.archive.org/web/20090605035 ... 40&p=18217&
the idea was to have one gunslinger (tanya) and one bomb-expert (megan) both for allies ...
i would not trust the source of one person ... just because someone is writing something in a forum , doesnt mean theres actually truth behind it (who he is , what he did ...and so on)
second , its cut content and has not been confirmed by canon sources (the wiki page is giving a hint to that)
... altough it would be easy to modify a tanya to have red , slightly longer hair ... we would need a icon that fits ... which we dont have
and the last one , and pretty much the hardest obstacle ... you would need to get this idea past pchote ...although i can tell you , he would not like it ... cause pchote (initially with me) did hound out all the foreign content ... like the snipers for example ... and currently represents a solid "no custom Art for our main mods" opinion ... in terms of "new unit content"
we have rare exceptions , the Flak Truck for example , which helps to balance the soviet-allies game ...
