Reign of Conflagration is a rebirth of the old mod which has been changed around, this time this is aimed at Generals Zero Hour consisting of three new sides and sub-groups for you to take charge of. The timeline is alternated with changes to the campaign story-line, additions to old units, changes to units and new units which will make the army you side with unstoppable.
Part of the New Upcoming Stealth Render series.
Basically an anti-ground base defense, that will replace the Stinger Sites since the GLRF is being re-organised in a similar fashion like we saw in some C&C games, the Mortar Site is a cost effective base defense equipped with two mortar turrets on each side for dealing with those pesky AFVs and scout vehicles. They are also garrisonable for 5 soldiers that can take on enemy infantry or vehicles at a short range, however due to this they can be dangerous at some instances during several missions.
Model: SmasherJackson
Skins: SmasherJackson
Notes: Scratch Made
Also once destroyed like many GLRF structures, the defense will leave a hole behind that can rebuild the structure but however the infantry in the structures will either possibly die or get harmed due to the debris, also the mortar operators will possibly get killed once the structure gets destroyed.
Developer Notes:
Also since the Stinger Site is being replaced a separate anti-aircraft defense will be introduced at a cost effective manner lower than $1000 for various defensive missions, also if the extra ability to garrison the defense makes it overpowered we will remove that if desired.
It is also part of a series of base defenses for various factions that will have a number of defenses, some include the Company of Liberty and other factions (If its a bad idea we'll go back to multi-role defenses).
The model isn't final and it'll be improved sometime later on during development, I do have a cameo done for it'll be changed later on along with the model to keep it good & clean.
Also, if you would like to see the model in action, I'll post a video of the Mortar Site in action sometime this week. Like before, ideas, criticism and anything that can improve the model is welcome as always.
try pointing the mortars close to vertical to give it a more Mortar like look instead of the AT gun from the Scorpion and try one median size mortar ,but with a short barrel
and maybe you could get the Spider Bunker from the cancelled mod Generation X (https://www.moddb.com/mods/generation-x/images/spiderhole-render#imagebox)Zeke,the project leader, said some time ago you can ask for any model because he merged with European Conflict
One a separate Note in my opinion try only One or two factions that are specialize in defense to get single use defenses while the others have one or two muilt-purpose defences
Looks quite well, I was butching something like that 4 or 5 years ago, some useful experience for starting modeller. Most basic things you can improve are: make some more mortar-like turrets instead of these scorpion ripoffs
The mortar site looks like it is going to be annoying to face, my one bit of feed back is that maybe you could add some sort of texture to the team color part or make it smaller it kinda looks out of place with the rest of the structure.
Other than that great job!!
and about the multi role base defenses maybe only one or two factions could have them to make the faction more unique.
And a couple quick questions: Will the "Unknown Robot Empire" be a playable faction? and Why is the Middle East Alliance not listed as one of the new factions on the ModDB page?
Again great job with the mod and I look foreword to it's release.
Agreed on the team color section and could you add some more polys to the walls of the bunker it seems too plain ,but I like the sand bags and teh texture of the base walls and most importantly Great job on your first scrath built model
Please Ignore the question about the Middle East Alliance
Thats ok, do not worry about it :)
I'll add a story about the Middle East Alliance and the story of any other of the Mod's new factions into the Summary so it'll show why they are involved in the universe of RoC.
Oh, and Alex. Hehe my boy
I've done some models by hand prior to this one, you may want to have a look around on the image section for them, one of my known scratch models I have done was the Dornier Do-31 & a missile silo for the Company of Liberty.
Check'em out here:

Likewise thou, check out my message on the bottom about the model, I'll re-design it so it don't look plain.
@Admiral*Alex
Cheers for the ideas, I'll look into remodeling the mortar cannons and remaking the base of the structure, also the Company of Liberty, the GLRF, Middle East Alliance and the New Andes Armada will have will have separate base defenses for dealing with threats, the ECSN, Yuri's Reich, China and USTF forces will be the only factions that will have multi-role defenses.
I would use the Spiderhole like in Generation X but I would like to keep the use of public models to a minimum, but it will be redone. I'll do some testing on the defense since its ingame and see what the others think, also like before, thank you for the criticism & ideas.
@Neo3602
True, the defense will be annoying to face but I will re-design it once I finish up testing, likewise thou, I'll scrap the garrison idea to balance it out. Some of the factions will have multi-role defense structures, around 3 or 4 factions including the USTF and China will get this one.
I see you've been looking at the Wikia, the Unknown Robot Empire will make an appearance as a playable faction and an enemy faction but only in a Mission Series, its also replacing the Boss General for RoC's re-designed Generals Challenge, I won't release any info about it just yet but I'll release something about them once the time is right. For the Middle East Alliance I'll add their story into the summary, thanks kindly for pointing it out.
Overall:
I'll post a video of the current model in action to see if the structure is good, if there is something that could break the balance during gameplay I'll remove some bits. Thanks for the critics and ideas gents.
And whoa, fast replies, I'll make sure the ideas are done before we release a stable release.
Thank you for clearing up the Robot Empire I was wondering that too. Though approximately when will we see a video?
I'll post a video of the Mortar Site in its current state this week, I am not busy during the Weekend so I'll put a small preview of the new GLRF defense in action.
Along with that I'll include a message to ensure nobody gets confused about the building's current state, I'll note down that it'll be updated & changed sometime once I finish testing.
Thank You Have Funny Testing
Just a quick update, a video of the Mortar Site is done, just need to check it first before I upload it and also it will include a notice from me as a heads up since the model will be changed.
Also coding will be changed to a new specification since I did find some game breaking issues, the coding will also be updated for that.
Thank You Will Watch Once Uploaded
