QFT, but i didn't like the harmony.
Judeau, the AI is impossible. beating level 1 ai is something to be proud of
they tech up so fast, by the time i had a radar built they had a tech center and base defences everywhere
I even played on levels with easily defendable bases (tiberian garden redux) and i got raped by constant infantry rushes that lay waste to tanks and defences... the obelisk is also useless by the way. QUICK_EDIT
And something else. The AI is shit on ilands maps. They dont build a naval yard and everything they do is attacking with some planes. You only have to build some of these missle cruisers and the enemy has no chance...
And why the hell you determinated the rules for the obelisk? I mean, set the tech level on -1 and AiBuildThis=no would be enough, wouldn't it? So it would be easy to reactivate - like the Nod Carryall _________________

AI on island maps can't be helped
obelisks are less effective VS infantry, but it can beat 4 titans
make laser turrets for anti-infantry needs, and add some cyborgs and medics for good measure.
And the reason the nod carryall was removed ?
Nod has stealth and sub units, GDI has carryalls
this "balance" works fine on non-island maps, but on island maps GDI has a large advantage, so perhaps a Nod outpost ship could be in order. _________________ Micro TS

That can't be helped, as both naval yard tricks rely on making the naval yard and it's ships, belong to a different house than the house that the of player. And the AIs only produce units that belong to their own houses.
In other words, it would be like, if you were GDI, playing against a Nod AI. Have the AI capture one of your unit producing buildings, and then, the AI, starts producing GDI units, something which never happens (AFAIK).

Maybe using the amphibious APC logic, right? QUICK_EDIT
disc throwers range, seriously man i was on level 1 AI and they raped my 50 disciples from a cliff a mile away.
yes, i actually did have 50 disciples
Disciples are cannon fodder for Nod, they're simply fanatics, buy something better with your money as Disciples are used for anti-scout and as meatshields (They're $100, so $100x50= 5000 cr). Don't use them as primary base assaulters.
Back them up with Cyborgs who eat infantry for breakfast or Rocket Inf if you're going against tank armour.

I think it should be sufficient enough to enable the Fist of Nod to be faster and capable of moving over water. That way you can set up a base and both sides are capable of island war.

The AI both get crapped if they start on islands. Westwood I'm afraid. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

The 50 disciples are a must in early games, the ai rushes you over and over with infantry. And the disc throwers RANGE was the problem.
The fist of nod can't climb cliffs, now can it? QUICK_EDIT
what....the hell....is that! no srsly wtf is that from?
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, that's Dr Robotnik on the right and Warpnik on the left. Awesome cartoon before the massacre that was new generation Sonic.

If I had to take a guess, I would say it's from sonic. That fat guy looks like robotnik (Dr. eggman).
And that other guy, beats me who he is, but I suggest he should see a dermatologist asap.
Never Eggman. It's always Dr Robotnik because he's awesome, and Eggman is a bastardized version of Robotnik.
The other guy is Dr Robotnik's cousin Warpnik, who Robotnik says "Your doing it wrong you worthless wimp!" who keeps shooting and missing Sonic and Tails with the warp cannons in the background.

Just rush to Radar don't bother with factories at the moment and make Cyborgs with Disciples along with a few Medics. Pop up one or two Lasers too.
If you want to go the factory route, try getting Mines, Buggies or Howitzers to deal with the infantry.
Eventually you'll get Harpies which will slaughter infantry units. Harpies are no longer like the crappy TS versions anymore.

Er, the map makers fault. TS was never made for naval warfare but we're trying to implement it somewhat. _________________ Last edited by Elerium-155 on Sun Dec 30, 2007 3:31 pm; edited 3 times in total QUICK_EDIT

That I saw. It got elite with one shoot! (okay, the reason was something what exploded, I suppose. Dunno what,I think these disc throwers. Why they made so much damage? After the shoot, the WF, the CY an the barrack was fucked!)
I like the iland maps, but I hate the fact, that nod can't get out of his iland. So, something that could go over water and can build a base on another iland. I personally would like the idea of a ship what could deploy to something like a nod water outpost. Same for GDI, naturally. Maybe also more water buildings? Like water mines, water defense,...? That could be interseting, I suppose. Also a kind of water atillery...? Only a idea... It would be a couple of work to do that (water power plant ) _________________

Island maps cant be helped as the TS ai cant handle such measures. Also condition yourselves to the TSD ai as it is intended to be mightly difficult. The ai like normal human players will give you no quarter. QUICK_EDIT
