I added the c&c4 visceroid to the game and need your help in regard to what their rule will be...
So the mutant Hovel already have tamed Visceroid (which are the small normal c&c3 Visceroids that came in squad of three)
But I wanted to add the C&C4 Visceroid as one bigger Mother Visceroid, just like how we had two small Visceroids that can mix into one big Visceroid in Tibirium Sun I wanted to go with the same idea and even wanted to add to the small Visceroids abiliy to mix with each other and create the mother Visceroid (not promise I will be able to make that abiliy but can try)
However after I took a look on how the C&C4 visceroid look in the game in big size (In pitbull's size)
I noticed that it's animations look a bit weird in the eyes unless it in the same size of the normal Visceroids
So I thought I may drop the entire mother idea and just make another squad of three C&C4 viseroids who are in the same size of the normal visceroids and have suicide atttack
But it will ruin uniqueness so I thought I should ask the community what they think is better and will make my decision from your advise
So what you think is better?
1. To add Mother Visceriod with medium size and have a bit funny animations ?
2. Add suicide Visceriod Squad which are c&c4 small visceriods which come in 3 or 4 squad memebers ?
Both will have suicide attack, the Mother Visceriod however will faction more like a vehicle and will have more power attack and health while the small ones will have lower attack and HP
What do you think?
Have a better idea?
*EDIT*
I was able to fix the animation in big size
Now it just matter of deciding
Please let me know in the commits below
Update I was able to fix the animations when they in big size
But still let me know what you prefer : )

Add Mother Visceriod with medium size & Add suicide Visceriod Squad but I don't prefer that you make the player able to control it. make it guard the tibirium fields I mean make them neutral units in all maps their only function is to defend the blue crystal tibiruim in all cost
I actually already tried to do it with the Ironback, I added Wild Ironback to most Yellow zones tibirium fields, but I didn't planned for them to destroy the tibirium crystal... which they decided to do on their own so I had to filter their weapon xD But after I done that they just walk around the field aimless and attack your units only when you in 0 range with them (in other words standing in their faces) and even after that they not always attack you : /
I wonder what went wrong
Also the Ironback & Scrapbus they should have their own building add cnc4 Forgotten Hovel Cnc.wikia.com
Yea I'm aware of it : )
The thing is that KW SDK don't let me touch the official maps models, just the unofficial ones, Until I find a trick to do that they coming out from the normal Hovel But have explosion effect that show it as if big units "break" their way out of the hovel to make more sense
In Tiberian Sun they were referred to as Baby (though I prefer the term Juvenile myself) and Adult Visceroid. Mother maybe a misnomer, since Viscerioid reproduction would appear to be totally reliant on the spontaneously mutation of another life-form. But of course this is your project so whatever you name them is your decision.
If they can't be mixed then perhaps they could be upgraded into the adult form via certain environmental factors? For example, the ability to upgrade is available as long as they're in contact with Blue Tiberium.
Hi there ErastusMercy : )
I actually myself not fan of the name I gave them and want to change it, the question is for what? Adult Visceroid?
The upgrade via environmental factors sound good too : D
Thanks for the idea, will try to make it if the mix thing won't work
You're welcome dude.
The example environmental factor could also explain why they're explosive too, as they've used Blue Tiberium to mature rapidly. Well if you ignore the bomb, though that could be explained as a control device.
Some names off the top of my head: Adult, Mature, Elder, Vinifera (if matured using Blue Tiberium)
How adult viscroid will sound for now?
I also think about changing the picture since it so-so
Oh Yea and I didn't was able to find any attacking Animations for it since it just explode and ea didn't made one to begin with
So I probably must to stick to the suicide attack
