An addon for a mod, this contains modified versions of the Generals Challenge maps as well as a couple of adjusted INI files so you can play through the challenge campaign with the mod's Pandora faction.
This is an addon for DetoNato/Medusa_Zenovka's The Power of HighTech Warfare: Apocalypse mod.
The biggest reason you want to play this is because you want to see how the Pandora faction from the above mod fares against the Generals Challenge maps. Well, they don't do that well. The faction is pretty inefficient in the early game, and the first mission pits you against General Fai—who attacks early and gets free reinforcements from outside the map border. With buildings that take up a large chunk of space and expensive upgrades/tech buildings, it's easy to run yourself dry as the enemy digs into your unprepared state. So on that note I adjusted the maps to fix the bug where your mission doesn't end at all, and give the player a fighting chance with more starting cash (among other adjustments).
How to Install:
Just put the .BIG file where you installed the mod, and put it away when you're done with it.
List of modifications aside from changing the ending scripts: (mostly Juhziz trying to "help")
- All maps give the player twice as much starting cash
- Except for Fai's
and Leang's map, which give triple
- Changed PlayerTemplate so you can see Pandora in the Generals Challenge select screen
- Fixed an error in Campaign.ini that results in the playthrough ending early
- Alexander's map has bridges on the water and advanced demo traps around her base
- Townes has advanced demo traps on his frontal defenses and a LOT on the rear side
Leang has advanced demo traps around her superweapons- Fai has advanced demo traps on his initial line of defenses
- Granger also has some advanced demo traps around his central power plants
- 08/30/23: Leang has been removed as an opponent because of a bug I cannot fix
- It causes the game to crash after the loading screen regardless of your General
- Leang will only return if there's ever a solution to this bug
- 12/25/23: Tech level unrestricted, which unlocks the Cubus and the Heavy Gunner.
Juhziz does not have a map of his own. It's not included and I'm not good enough of a mapper to do something about it. If there's any bugs be sure to tell me in the comment section (though I might not be able to actually fix it).
Hi sir,please can you add usa commander in chief from Zero Hour Reborn V4.0 Rise To Power to Atlas mode v3 and become new game together
Haha I'm sorry but I can't do that. Porting one faction from one mod to another seems simple in theory but there's a lot of hidden variables behind the scenes. Plus, I'm still learning, with not much free time due to my job. I'm also using that free time to work on my own mod at a snail's pace.
Why do you even need it anyway? Reborn arguably has more content than Atlas.
Thank you for the fix. I wish I would have had the passion to make it right from the start, but sadly I had a lot of private stuff going on that burned me out.
And thank you for the mod. Just for you, I've updated the mod so the tech tree is set to World Power for Pandora.
It's unfortunate that you burned out, you have some very creative ideas going on, in lore AND in mechanics. Using the money menu for the game mode for example is some big-brained thinking I have never seen anywhere else.
I can't fix the Leang bug but I know it's not exclusive to her map. Simply loading up her faction in skirmish causes the crash but I don't know why.
