Spring RTS Engine

then try to beat it at 60+ handicap. You'll be committed to the hospital when you're done because your brain has a bad habit of unraveling itself.

woh who said cannon mechs are broken? a cannon mech will beat a GD cannon tank of the same level in 1v1 if they have no radar targetting (the GD tank only gets off one volly before URC in range). Urals get beats by l3 cannon mechs unless 5 guns are targeting it which never seems to happen

Theres a lot of men about then! its a no brainer, simply rush it hard and its dead!
(damn i really need to work on it again!)

I've never seen any issue with the Cannon Mechs...

for some reason people take massive advantage of this and ZOOM way the hell out.

Its probally because of the firing ranges.
In most 2D RTS (C&C, Starcraft,..) your main battle units have a range that is like 1/5 to 4/5 of the screen. If you want the same overview in E&E (or other mods) you already have to zoom out quite alot.
I, personally would like to see some other chasises (ie 6wheel for GD, like http://www.uebersetzerportal.de/bilder/ ... panzer.jpg) but of course thats your own choice.


Btw, If you are looking for inspirations for the GD mobile airfield you might take a look at this: http://apollomaniacs.web.infoseek.co.jp ... awlere.htm
(Also links with nice pictures at the bottom)
I think this vehicle would fit nicely with the GD theme.
(If the model is already finished, even better)

Knorke, GD has already been completely remodeled.. they are done.. URC is what is being worked on now and why there is no release.. currently there are 3 different chassis at lvl 1 for combat units, 5 if you count the scout, and builder.

I can conceive of adding more chassis if I was considering it, and I have been basing non battle tank designs off russian vehicles, and some other stuff..

Knorke just to let u know the Mobile air repair pad is done. Its a cross between the lvl 3 tanks and... a helicopter pad

I didnt try rushing it.. mostly because after so long of playing ai's that die if you rush, I played by its rules and expanded unto it.

I looked all all the new models OMFG the next version will be all good.

just found a strange bug... if i can't see a stealthed-cloaked mex i can build right on it :\
and a suggestions: what about giving the commander the player's name? just like "URC Mobile Command: Helix" or something like that. i know it's just a detail, but i think it will look good

not a bug. It's fixing an exploit that you could see the extraction radius when in f4 mode.

If you can build on the actual structure, that might be a bug. However, if it is merely the metal patch, then Forboding is correct.

for anyone who cares.. I have 25 units left to do for URC, and GD is already done, meaning 25 units till new release.. so It will more than likely be next week..

i thought the only way to get the player name to show up was to give it some tag which completely clears the data on an enemy from the box thingy (like in War Evo). if that is don't, i want to see how much health an enemy com has so i can judge whether or not i should chase it and kill it even if i lose my units...

Woot! You got a changelog handy? Or are the models the only thing youve changed?

that is the problem. (and about the player name, didn't knot that would hide the unit's health)

I think player name and hiding the info are two different tags.

it'd be cool to have player name. atm the command mobile dosnt really feel like the players avatar.

Thats because the command mech is not the players avatar.. your not in/or on the battlefield, you are in a command and control center of some kind off the map in some fashion. The command unit is simply a allpurpose constructor unit that can be sent in first due to its higher armor and initial resource storage/generation..

In that case, how about flagging all important structures as commander so com ends game would be the equivalent of "we don't want to hunt down every last mex"? Or does that mess with the ressource storage?

no idea, but that is interesting..
