Ok, this is my first mod...

[Da Doom Guy]

I've decided to mod a little bit with the Tibed, or whatever it's called modification device thing, anyway, this is my first mod, I will explain what's been added:

All country's have their respective flag(except Yri cause he has no flag)

changes:
the Flak boat the Russians use now has a 155mm gun like the Allied destroyed, to compensate for it's overall weak navy.

the Flak-Track is renamed Half-Track and has a Para weapon(same used by GI)

GB/Russia/America and Germany can produce the Grand Cannon, Russia stole tech from france on how they gort it, and France forot how to build them(at least I think France can't build it, oh well)

the Jeep has been added to the Allied Arsenal and has a 20mm same as Warminer, Yuri get's the Evil mummy, which has been renamed "Zombie" it costs notihng to recruit as Yuri's good at finding and bringing dead bodies back to life.

the Grand Cannon is also much cheaper.


first of all, how to I add the Yuri mod to the Winzip? it keeps saying it can't...

Not to sound rude or anything but why would anyone play this? There's no point to it; you've simply slapped a random assortment of unbalancing changes into the game.

I suggest you revamp your ideas and come up with something better or at least sensible.

And Fenring I suggest you lighten up on the tough love, its his first mod, OK? ;)

I came to this thread and wanted to say that but couldn't figure out how. Thank you. someone + rep him.

I guess I'll think of something else, but then again, what is there except to overbalance-underbalance any army? and I don't want to do that cause it'd make it not to much fun, cause I play as all sides, and don't want to be restricted to a particular side to be invincible.

I'm basically stuck on the same units, and a few units, I tried giving each of the allied countries their own unique Hero as Germany would get "Arnie Frankenfurter" but would lose Tanya, Britain would get "Sammy Stallion" or whatever he's called and lose Tanya and so on and so forth, but I'd revamp some hero's abilities because Sammy is only good against infantry and vehicled, I want him to be able to defened himself against vehicles, but oh well.

and what would I do if I was to rebalance this mod? I thought I balanced out the allied Soviet Navy(cause of a lack of any sort of good defensive/offensive ship on the ocean) the flag's don't do anything, I just think they are cool.
I think I'll make Grand Cannon avaliable to all countries now.


And really, I'm not wanting to double post here cause from what I've seen many hate it(on my post:"Why does this keep happening?!") I've been waiting for responses for over a day or so, and is XWIS "broken"? from what I read somewhere, XWIS "breaks" everynow and then.

[Fenring]

Well, most mods these days attempt to balance out the sides so everyone has a fair shot at winning. You can go about it in different ways: like Mental Omega with a lot of additions AND tweaks or the CannisRules way with very little in the way of additions but a lot MORE tweaks to existing things. Either way is fine so long as you don't go overboard.

One thing to remember about new units: does it fill a role something else does? If that's a yes, mess with the other unit to make it usable instead of adding something else. Also, if you add "advanced" to anything or "mk 2," it's probably not a good idea to add that unit.

[Da Doom Guy]

Well, the major chances I've done is given the allies a Jeep(lets say you Want to get 3 engineers into someone's base really fast) it's there for a fast attack choice like the Flak Track.

and the changing of the cannon on the Sea Scorpion to help Sovietsprotect their Dreadnought(like Destroyer's protect their aircraft carrier)


and the Grand Cannon added to all sides except Yuri(cause it'd make him harder to kill) right?

I'd love to add new units, but unfortunetly, I'd most likely make the game unplayable(and I mean where it'd give you a error message when starting the game up)

anything else I could add/subtract?

[hogo98]

I think you should keep the grand cannon the same price but yuri is easy to kill anyway plus giving sov the GC does sound really weird:\

That's fine and dandy. However, the IFV is still more useful and the Allies have the Nighthawk for infantry transporting operations.

You're taking away the need for Typhoons. Bad idea.

The Grand Cannon is France's special. Unless you gave them a new one, this is not that great of an idea since it makes France WORTHLESS and it gives the Soviets something that doesn't match their brute force strategy.

You can only IE during game loading with art assets or AI problems.

[Da Doom Guy]

The Typhoon, I almost forgot about, lol, so I'll remake Sea scorpions having flak cannon.

I'll just make the GC avaliable to all allied nations as France shared it with them?

[Fenring]

What would France have to replace the GC? Besides, now you're just begging for turtling. :|

[apple23]

Keep the GC for france only. Its too overpowered with one of the longest ranged and most powerfull weapons in the game.

What you really need to do with your mod is make some new units that have cool advanced weapons that are still balanced. Like the Lightning Strike tank in my mod. It unleashes a lightning strike bolt like the one a weather controller uses except I made it so it's strong against buildings (But not too strong, I actually reduced the damage it does to buildings) and weak against tanks. It's really expensive, kind of slow, and with only medium armor. Like an advanced, expensive version of a prism tank. I made this avaliable to the soviets after building an expensive tech building.

[Fenring]

And that's the kind of thing that keeps n00bs as n00bs. No offense, nor saying you ARE a n00b, but Jesus Christ that's dumb... especially on the Soviets. It's hardly appropriate for the Allies!

Also, medium armor is 'reserved' for miners so they take less damage.

[Da Doom Guy]

ok, I'll put GC back to France, and I'll make Howitzer avaliable to allied? to be the Allies Artillery? I mean the Soviets have the V3(only good and destructive in numbers or very weak depending on everyone's dependance on AA)

I know I'm a noob ok? I like building, having fun and doing "diplomatic" games which is probaly why I find it hard to get anyone to want to play with me(since I keep telling them I'll get my YR fixed soon I hope) they say no(a couple of friends) I like Diplomacy is war games, where you establish your "borders" and build your military, you "declare" war on someone and attack them until they agree to either keep a VERY small Army with u watching them or you kill them off completely.

I'll just keep my General changes though(flags) and think the Allies could have a sub? or would that make them to powerful? prehaps I'll make a Tesla Bunker for the Cubans? I mewan they have a pretty crappy unit.
