artillery. not on your poll. Some of these are really balance issues.

I just chose what I thought to be some of the most discussed issues, and some basic things.So yeah, this is more of a "which thing do you think would have the best effect on gameplay".

you cant make a poll about mods in general, else we would have mods which would be played very similar and that would be boring.
Mods are designed to be different.

Mods need:

Consistency.

This includes both art and gameplay.

What (my) mod need ?
1. Less restriction to carpet bomber so WD carpet bomber could work like in TA
2. Easier 'copy and play' for new unit (just like TA) perhaps with 'Spring conflict crusher' tool which will automatically check build menu and fix it
3. Some simple AI builder tool

Other than that to succeed what a mod need most is some competent modder

How about more variety between different sides (ok I play mostly AA and XTA)

Like having 15 different side each with dramatic differences in strengths and weakness, to the point of being often unbalanced in a one vs one, depending on which sides are playing against each other.

But the fun is playing team games and figuring out which sides complement each other well and how they can work together.

With the current engine theres imo a limit on how different mods can get.
Think of moving ressources-collectors like in C&C, Starcraft etc.
Or upgrade buildings (armor etc)

ok, I'll give away the idea for my super-mod (

) :

I would like to see some new ressource-system in a mod:
It would have to be played on special maps (like FF already does)
There would be metall-rich features like the crystals on Starcraft-maps ( http://broodwar.ingame.de/bw4ever/maps/ ... _2.4_g.jpg ) that a "ressource center" would collect with a nano-beam (area reclaim)

Like having 15 different side each with dramatic differences in strengths and weakness, to the point of being often unbalanced in a one vs one, depending on which sides are playing against each other.

Yay!
Also add a "random side" option to the lobby!
