I had an idea. I have no knoleged of moding (or programing for that mater) but if some one wouuld like to take this idae and fly with it that would be just fine. Ok my idea is a new race that is compleetly nomadick, all there bildings can move and a lot of the units, when terned off, duble as difensis. To balins this race all you need to do is make T1 units be T1 base difens i.e. AA vehicle into AA tower etc. etc. it would have the strongst, fastest and heavyst T2 but weak T1. Econimy is bad and units are expensive. Please coment.

I would make a serious comment, but your spelling makes me wants to cut out my eyeballs and put them into a vat of hydrochloric acid to cleanse them.
Serious comment: The nomad race idea has been done for yonks. The Terrans in StarCraft had flying buildings, etc. All been done before, so its hardly new. Kudos to you for coming up with it though, it might give other people ideas....

I suggest you check out the wiki and look up everything you can on mod creation and development if you actually want to make a mod with this race in it, unless you just wanted to show off your bad spelling. Seriously, it is that bad.

im drunk. and my spelling is better than his.
what heavylancer says is true, the nomidic side is seen in almost every rts, but my point still stands, what mod are you talking about? and there are mods out there other than AA and its spinoffs

Arm has moving buildings, ...
I found this file as I was looking for some equivalent to most games' "The Biggest Map Ever"... Haven't tested it, though.
And... smoth is right.
http://www.unituniverse.com/ has a lot of adequat units (Herf !), and you can easily understand how a mod is done. Good luck

make sure you track down the makers and ask permission if possible. Also list them in a detailed credits section (who made model, who textured, scripted etc).

Unfortunately, when you try to click on the makers' names, you access to the list of their creations, no way to contact them (Unless I missed something, please tell me I did.)... Google their names ?

Would you like to help me, since xta been thrown round and about, and i love xta like my son. Talon is the greatest third party race, so unique, its almost impossible for me to get the balance right.

For the spelling, I'm still in school and it would help to put a spell checker in in the Message body spot but for the "serious comment" I have an aswere.The terrans can move there bildings ,yes, but to my knowlige only the siege tank has a sekent mod for fireing but this rase, by defalt, have to move around alot in the early game or else they get hamerd by the arms T1 rushis.

Right ianmac, second strike....
I am still in school, and my 12 year old brother can spell better than you. And we don't need a spell checker here IMO, because you should have either a) Firefox or b) know a site like dictionary.com to check it.
Sorry mods if I am going into your territory, I'm just peeved that someone could spell that bad.
