Hello again community! We have returned to show you some deliciously high resolution renders of the new vehicles developed by our team that will be heading the North American Coalition war effort.
Before we get to the renders let’s get to some housekeeping changes;

Our New Home
If at all you visited our old forum (http://ddesigns.informe.com/) you'll notice it doesn't work.
We didn't set up a redirect and we apologize, but we'd like to tell you we still do have a forum, just in a new home.

A few of the artists on the ER team (particularly, Dr.Nick and myself) used to work on RTS games beforehand, and we often showed off some of our ER work to a CnC Community called Fallout Studios. After awhile I was approached and offered hosting for our mod due to how much we posted the content there, or at least the amount of WIP's for them. The opportunity was too good to refuse as it would mean a more popular forum and the opportunity to work around some talented folk.

Some of those talented groups and teams being: European Conflict, Core : Conflict Omega, and Asylum.

The ER Forum itself, along with some goodies we don't publish on our Moddb can be found here:

You can also find all of the above teams with their own Subforums at that link.

As you continue reading you'll notice we've had a bit of progress, and with this we'll be posting more frequent updates instead of the undetermined period of time until update charade.

North American Coalition: Vehicles
Onto the update itself, we have 3 vehicles to show you today! All with detailed interiors you'll see in the next update which will also be ingame screenshots, as opposed to glorified renders.

Firstly, we have the NAC Fast Attack Vehicle which was previously shown but has been textured since then.

Second is the APC known as the AIFV-7 Solomon, a change from the vanilla Roamanov and Groundhog. My personal favorite from this update really.

Thirdly, we have the 1-RN Phantom which takes its place as the NAC Gunship and was previously known as the Specter, but we decided on a change that was more fitting. Those of you who follow General/Zero Hour mods for Command and Conquer may notice an easter egg on this render.

The Future Of ER
What will be in the next update?
In our next major community update we plan to include more details on our new maps as well as gameplay videos from the test team showcasing new vehicles and other changes. By then we also hope to have another group of new vehicles ready for display. We should be able to expect the next minor update within the next few weeks!
Cheers everyone!
