Thank you for reading this
Arashenstein
thank you. will try now
i am updating it again with some changes to china infantry i hope you enjoy it!
2/19/2016 installer updated with latest balance changes!
did u improve game stability in LAN matches?
yes it was because of the 60FPS lock i put on the first patch. now i have removed it and reverted it back to 30FPS (which was the game default). the 60FPS lock was improving the Skirmish and offline matches a lot with a lot smoother gameplay but in online or LAN match it was lagging like hell so i reverted it back.
P.S you might wanna read the changelog again i have completely changed the game to something like battle for middle earth series, your HQ is the heart of your army it costs more now + it has the ability to defend you against early attacks since it can garrison infantry inside and it also has a lot more health than before and it can not be captured or sold anymore!
Thanks to those who helped me to test and balance this mod during the last year, i am glad to finally announce this project is finished and fully released and i hope you enjoy it all!
are you iranian? i cant believe saying this but you did better job than any you might found this useful for your mod
1.new skin for paladin (project raptor)
2.your game balance is great cant get better
3.new general powers maybe from op firestorm
4.
Yes I was born in Iran but not an Iranian :)
I played Operation Firestorm but it was mainly focused on super powers than unit combination.
I am going to update this mod and make it more intense for hardcore players. The plan is to completely prevent the player from generating cash via buildings like Hackers + Supply Drops + Palace Markets and the only way to earn money will be fighting for the supplies on the map (Similar to Red Alert).
