What mod to they add to?

I am not a big fan of "Lets tack on EXTRA huge, EXTRA expensive units just for the heck of it!" addons.

I find that, usually, the level one units are more fun to play around with.

From your description this mod sounds like concentrated fail.

- Bigger units don't work properly.
- Its painfully unimaginative.
- The ammount of time for somebody to build an economy to make these units means the only time you'd see them was on speedmetal and its kin.

I honestly can't be bothered going on, please explain what your mod adds in terms of fun other than oversized versions of the same old things.

yes thats all is true but i forgot to mention that im also adding some lvl 1&2 units and also lvl 3&4 builders build advanced resource collectors so this modwill add quite a few units but not near asmuch as utasp5

I'm with Das Bruce. The mod sounds worse every second.

It not a personal attack. Its just that the idea behind it is just...bad. Saying "Oh we can just make the units affordable by MAKEING THE ECONOMY BIGGER!". Bigger != better.

Quality, not quantity. Subtlety, not size.

Try the idea machine again...

Or make the mod. I'm just not going to play it. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but its true.

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 02 Sep 2006, 05:49

Also what about witch mod are you tacking these units into?

AA? EE? FF? XTA? Whitch!!!

overkill · Post by **overkill** » 02 Sep 2006, 06:09

ota or uh

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 02 Sep 2006, 06:29

All right, now that my burning curiosity has been sated, what kind of units are you making? Like...specifics, you know.

If you don't have enough concept information to at least write up a 4 page design doc then your mod isn't going to go anywhere. Concept -> Design -> Implementation -> Polish

I don't think the last version of Uberhack for spring works any more, And the only OTA mod thats getting made any time soon is Caydrs OTA one. the rest are all mods (regardless of what you all say, they all *aren't* OTA.)

Also:

This Idea sucks.

No offence meant.

You know, the usual. A 20x20 unit that shoots rapid-fire noexplode nukes.

So like AA + a big ugly-er version of combat constructors?

Overkill you must know, that nearly every 2-3 weeks someone wants to make a mod. He puts his mini concept here and after some more weeks, he seems lost.
So most people are very sceptical about new mods. Especially, if the concept isnt well worked out and sounds like a standard mod.
You must have experience in at least: 1 3d modeling program, 1 texture and unit builder program (upspring or 3do builder), scriptor and of course win editor or notepad.
If you can show us at least one completely self made unit in game, people see that you mean it serious and that you are able to make a mod.
So before posting a mod idea people should show that they can do it.

Nevertheless, good luck.
