Not to sound like an *sshole, but aren't some of these things perhaps too "hi-tech" for the forgotten (supersonic bombers, walking howitzers)?
Also, perhaps if it is possible, you could add some features that are a bit like the GLA from C&C Generals: a mobile radar truck that acts as radar, no need for power generators for the base but slower build times/lower HP buildings...
This is just a suggestion to make the side more unique compared to the others, so no offense intended or anything.
Good luck with the mod, it looks very promising, I loved TS and Firestorm back in the day :-)
hey nah always appreciate constructive criticism :) the public is what drives this mod!
haha umm well this is not the final list :) ill speak to FortressMaximus about it and we'll revise the balance issues and as you said to high tech wepaonary
and sure we'll take that into consideration :) low HP buildings ummm will not be all buildings thou some will be stronger
and slow build times yes!
and again no its greatly appreciated i wish more people would either say the stuff on the mod is good or bad so i have an indication when im making stuff ==''
and thankyou :) haha likewise , firestorm first game i ever played :)
Oh, welcome Wilmet! I'm Rygar on Revora forums. Long time no see!
I'm the responsible of all factions and you deserve some answers.
The Forgotten is the most complicated side because it's a mix between: guerrilla warfare, old TS technology stolen from GDI, Nod, Cabal, etc...
Tacitus secrets, and this is revealed once the Forgotten got the Tier 3. In Tier3 they get all the necessary stuff to counter the global armi (GDI), the most influent cult (the brotherhood), the artifical intelligence (CABAL) and a super advanced race (Scrin). Without this technology, the Mutants don't have a chance.
Speaking in detail: the walking artillery was necessary for balance reason, they need something which leaves husks and can be capturable, just like other factions.
I don't know if a mobile radar is possible, because radar is a tier 2 structure, and allows support powers and upgrades. Is it possible with a vehicle?
Supersonic bomber: if you think about it it's a technology of the '60 (do you remember the Black Bird?), so mutants can use it without problems.
yhee what he said :P
Wow, Rygar, that's a blast from the past :-) How you been?
Anyhoo like I said, just throwing out some ideas, I'm sure you guys will have it handled.
