This improved crate system will be present in Just Rules and AI Friendly. All crates will have a question mark on them instead of a picture explaining the contents. This system will feature a total of 21 different crates. 6 of which will have negative effects and 15 will have positive effects; offering just over a 2/3 chance of getting a good crate. There is less than a 5% chance of getting any one crate. Below is a detailed list of the crates.
The Money Crate
Now occurring less often it will now yield $5,000
The Heal Crate
Now occurring less often it will heal all your units currently on the battle field.
(Now has a visual effect when collected)
The Veterancy Crate
Now occurring less often it will promote all your units currently on the battle field by one level.
(Crate only allows one level to be gained so range was the only option to improve)
The Shroud Crate
Reveals entire map for 30sec
(This crate actually had art and code in the original game but was never used.
I made a small fix that made it last for only 30sec and a small hack to allow it to see all elevations)
The Paratrooper Crate
Drops a squad of 6 paratroopers
(The style of paratrooper is based on your faction's Basic Infantry.
All paratroopers can swim when in primary mode
Soviet Paratroopers have more Health and Firepower then Conscripts
Allied Paratroopers are immune to bark/roar with shield equipped
Empire Paratrooper's sword ability is switch weapon ability with no timer)
The Repair Drone Crate
Gives the unit that opened the crate a personal Repair Drone, increased Speed and Rate of Fire
(The style of drone depends on your faction. They can heal the collecting unit and any surrounding allies; infantry or vehicle.)
The Corrosion Crate
Gives the unit that opened the crate a Toxic Corrosion Field and increased Firepower
(the corrosion does not trail as long as the corrosion ability and has no death toxin field but it only effects enemies)
The Stealth Shield Crate
Gives the unit that opened the crate a personal Shield that also Cloaks the unit
(The Shield will regenerate over time if damaged but can be totally destroyed removing the stealth ability as well)
The Attack Drone Crate
Gives the unit that opened the crate a personal Attack Drone, increased Range, Vision and Shroud Clearing
(Vision and and Shroud Clearing are just to help the unit fully use its new weapons range. The drone is based off the drone given to the hammer tank for destroying an aircraft carrier however the only way to destroy this drone is to destroy the base unit)
The Cryo Copter Crate
Give you a Cryo Copter with increased HP
The Terror Drone Crate
Give you a Terror Drone with increased HP
The Defender Core Crate
Give you a Defender Core with increased HP
