Discuss game development here, from a distinct game project to an accessible third-party mutator, down to the interaction and design of individual units if you like.
This should be realy good and hopefully you put max in so he can kick as much ass as he did the original

Because lets face it balance wise 4 sides are pushing it, personally i'd like 3, Just the first 3. Then again i hate mods with too many sides! >.>
Only one variable is different for each side so it shouldnt be hard, and you tell every mod maker not to make more than 2 sides just because you don't like too many sides
No matter how complex the game might be, it can always be playtested into decent balance.
I mean, in the somewhat-near future I'm going to be trying to balance four complete sides (US, USSR, UK, Germany), each with a full complement of infantry, buildings, tanks, light vehicles, artillery, fighters, bombers, and ground attack aircraft...and maybe even ships.
It's just going to take a long time to playtest <_< >_>
As for the mod, I'm not sure if I read you correctly, but you plan on trying to use the exact same set of units, with only the commander changing? This probably seems obvious, but I'd suggest just giving each CO their own set of unit stats, rather than trying to get some script buggery to function.
As for SM's idea, you can do that with negative storage too, which makes it a little easier to define.
.me gives min3mat a chill-pil
Anyway, I seriously having my doubts about this mod.
And not only becouse it's going to be Caydr's 4th mod (with all others begin developed at the same time).
It's just that most other mods kinda flaw against the all mighty AA.
Meaning, I doubt many people will play it. (note, this doesn't have to be a reason not to make it. It depends on what you want with the mod).
But really, it was close to being done when I got a job and had no more time for it. I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks though, so you never know what might happen.

- your not getting out of this one.
ha ha ha I already posted her. Pity you missed it, however my having a girlfriend over you telling someone else that you are already working on something is another matter. See the difference is, I am not telling someone to stop working on something because I have a gf. Of course it is your problem if you missed her pics, the guys have all seen her and myself. .
So unless you have actual pictures of your mod then I am saying you are full of it and should get out of that other guy's way. Again, relevance... my gf and you inability to get pics of her so you can jack off to them makes no difference in spring.. however you declaring that your already started something does have relevance. Put up or shut up.

You implied I was blind, since I couldn't see this imaginary piglet-girlfriend of yours. Whack is spelled "whack". And I'll show you pictures when I'm ready. And I'm infinitely taller than you, so there.
