Contra is a freeware modification for Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour real-time strategy game and one of the first mods for this game. It adds many new units as well as numerous new upgrades, new general's powers and buildings. It also adds new sounds, maps, bug fixes, enhanced graphics, and other effects, as well as three new generals.
Since many people are asking about new Leonidas model, we decided to show 2 renders. Still yet not finished (as you can see, missing textures), but model is beautifully made by Creator. Name could be also changed, because concept is very different.
That's gonna be a big warmachine
Adding 1-2 weapon sponsons on each side would make it more scary if you ask me.
Though even current variant looks MASSIVE resource-wise, so I'm not really sure if anything else can be added in addition.
I liked the old design more. I am not criticizing, I am saying tha the old gigantic spider Leniodas looked a lot more fun. This thing looks kinda boring. But of course it is all in what devs think
Old design was actually very similar to Widow Superunit for Cybernetic general, so we had to make something unique and new. But we will listed to fans feedback and do changes.
It was similar in the exact same way Contra fans compare your works to other mods (and start shitstorms, yes).
This looks awesome. Just a gigantic tank with battleship cannons. Can't wait to see this in action.
I thought Karkaddan already had the role of a Land-Battleship.
also noticed the Particle Cannon on the bottom~
leonidas is meant to overpower absolutely everything
Hello RA2 Battle Fortress.)
the details are interesting . but this very basic box shape body looks boring to me
Not sure about this but i kinda love the old one.
the concept was more unique but the old one was really untextured
oh sheeat
I don't like how it looks like a moving box, maybe try to improve it by giving it some slopes to the armor so it will look nicer but this is still pretty good anyway
This is not final version, we will probably add more details and check for feedback.
hmm an interesting choice for a new supertank. i will have to see it in action before i can say if this works or not.
the old Leonidas was honestly getting very outdated at this point, so nearly anything would be better
this reminds me of Advance Wars' Mega Tank for some reason lol
Good work as always

I really wanna try that thing out, looks freaking insane :D
damn that reminds me of the kessel miners
I think that the design for this boss is a bit too blocky for the US as this is probably you'll see something from the GLA, maybe some slight angle or slope will do the trick. Though, tracked? Why not hovering as this is probably the US can actually do as they are advanced, plus it can traverse through water and it can be immune to mines and increase the speed (Do the contra even have a hover unit?)? Armament is good, probably even better as the big turret is probably a battleship calibre, damn. How Powerful is the Ion cannon at the botton though? Is it garissonable like the Suan Ni Mobile Fortress? Are the missiles (that's a lot) and the ones on top both Air/Ground attack capable? I don't know about this, but the back is... exposed? I don't know but it is just begging to be shot from above.

Modern Ratte tank
Is there a stat addon that shows attack damage, attacks speed per second, and actual numbers of health or hits points of units and buildings? Most infantry have less than 200 hp and the super vehicle units got like 2,500 - 3,000+... Leonidas really has around 30k, plus stubborn armor to resist % of the damage based on the wiki?
I could call it the Mastodon.
It's basically a P1000 Ratte, I will miss the giant mech walker version of Leonidas again.
Both the old and new designs are great on their terms, but I would think it would be an option between two Leonidas, one focused on firepower and armor but lacks in speed, while the other is focused on speed and firepower.

shaped like a warship
Oh,I think maby it`s too big but not have enough weapons to protect itself. It looks like it can`t attack the enemies which are close to it.
The old design was much better even thou the textures are bad the design at least makes sense. This, this just I don’t know. It would have better if you just retextured the old design tbh.

Degenerated from mech to the super-heavy tank in the style of WWII............
The new Lenonidas design feels really boring compared to the old one, but the old one is also really outdated considering it's origin and the textures it has. I feel like Giant walker would still work for the USA boss, and a good inspiration would be from "Universe at War."
Try searching up Hierarchy Assault Walker or Hierarchy Assembly Walker and see if you couldn't incorporate some of those walker's aspects into a newer design.
It looks like a Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus (German super tank, search it up) And I love it! basically a Land based destroyer with huge *** guns. Cant wait to blow some bodies sky high!
I would want to see the Leonidas as a MARV tank-esque. instead of having battleship cannons, make them particle batteries with plasma (mini proton collider) bombardment.
As the name suggests, Leonidas should have the ability to spawn drones. For example, The SPARTAN drone. It's the advanced version of the robot tank that fires a laser gun WITH Laser pointer defense for missile defense similar to the SLIDs. It is also protected by a hoard of flying drone as Leonidas will respond toward players' tactics such as repair itself, AA defense, Hellfire drone, Scout for stealth, or Anti infantry. This is FITTING for the futuristic USA in Contra.
Now the interesting part, upon moving towards players' destroyed units, the Leonidas WILL savage the resources to spawn more drones army. Players used to gang-up the boss with units and right now they have to think about dealing with the legions of drones that will march toward the player's base.
Because of this. Leonidas will have the area of effect buff, such as marking the laser designator around itself, making the drone army gain bonus damage. And one of the secret last-ditch weapons "The Hot gate" Thermopylae Microwave beam around itself that will render all the units burn in microwave heat and disable player's defensive structure.
The USA Boss tank is actually a moving command center with legions of unmanned combat drones. It is a fitting name for Leonidas and his spartan legions, as well as The last stand of the USA and the free world.
The drones also lead by Col. Burton. In HALO Spartan-looking armor. He will try to infiltrate the player base where the player is busy defending the drones and Leonidas.
