Generals Changes

[Dunenewt]

I would make the following changes to Generals:

Swap USA for NATO

Swap China for the Russian Federation

UK have the best pilots and special forces in the world so they should get more of the a role.

Any suggestions?

[Terror]

yeah i guess. USA get too many main roles. And they're always the good guys. It would be funny one time if THEY were the bad guys, and russia the good ones.

But NATO is good. It encompasses a great deal of the world

[Dunenewt]

NATO would have the specialist abilities of each member:

UK - V/STOL Aircraft and SAS

Czech Republic - Counter Bio/Chemicals equipment

you know what would be really cool? If we could add many new sides to generals. Imagine having every major countrey in the world ;D all balanced and everything for gaming purposes =).

[Anathema]

This is pretty much standard C&C work, you got one super cheesy, heroic good guy country and one side that is super evil, but otherwise corny.

If only,I would LOVE to play a game like that

[VigilVirus]

Yep, that would be awesome.

At least there should be like 16 sides (like in Cossacks) - for example, Russia, China, US, North Korea, Britain, France, Iraq, Israel, Switzerland, Cuba, Italy.

[nampigai]

Switzerland?

[Dunenewt]

No way some of those sides wouldnt work. Revised Sides:

Russia

UK

USA

France

GLA (Terrorists)

China

at least those and for more sides:

Israel

Iraq

Libya

India

Pakistan

Commonwealth (Aus, NZ and Canada)

North Korea

[Anathema]

How about the European Union- since Generals is to take place in the future we could say that now they have a common military.

[Dunenewt]

Nooooooooooo.

Only UK and France will have Armed Forces in the EU in 2020 (if the EU still exists) and UK would not agree to have the Combined EU Forces so that would leave just France...pointless huh?

[Razorox]

How about...

Good guys

Bad guys

;)

[gryphon]

Switzerland?

Whould be great, we'd be able to play with a stealth boath ;D

Changing the USoA to NATO doesn't sound that bad an idee, although just good guys vs bad guys looks a lot like the origionall Command & Conquer .. . just as New World Order ....

[Tio_Holtzmann]

I still prefer two/three sides in Cnc cause it's a simple traditional formula which works. Balancing three sides is hellishly difficult enough, imagine trying to get 16 sorted... the reason why Cnc is successful is cause you don't have multiple sides which are all practically identically, cept for one or two units. Look at age of empires, all 18 civs were the same, they just had some units taken out at random. now with age of mythology, they seem to have decided this wasn't so great, and reduced it to three very different sides. the system works. Trying to create 16 totally DIFFERENT sides in terms of gaming experience and still trying to keep them balanced would be a logistical nightmare and World War III would actually break out before Generals was released.....

Err I think you will be able to...

well eh, don't forget about germany. They have an impressive military still. But probably in the coming future, Asia will be the middle point of the world (you know, what the US is now. They think China will be the future's most powerful country, which seems logical to me)

[Anathema]

I'm sick of the good-bad formula. Better is like when one side is quasi good, like the USA in World War III: Black Gold, where they're yelling stuff about freedom and sh1t while they're starting a war over oil.

[Apollyon]

Err I think you will be able to...

I hope so.

Incidently, anyone know if there will be a campaign editor included with the map editor?

[Dunenewt]

Any suggestions for Russian units?

Maybe Siberian Elite Infantry

[Apollyon]

cossacks of some description? ???

[Anathema]

Have them use real units, like the T-80 and the Akatsia (artillery).

[DukeLeto]

Incidently, anyone know if there will be a campaign editor included with the map editor?

Yep. You'll even be able to use it to create "cinematics", kind of like the WarIII editor, but more complex.

[Apollyon]

now THAT is AWESOME ;D

i want it i want it i want it ;D

imagine the modding potential :O

[ken124578]

I don't think that they'll change ANYTHING now, only 2 days left before it is in the stores.

[Apollyon]

i think this mod is more related to possible modding, Ken.
