Throwback Season VII - Never Ending War

Description
Note: Only balanced version.
Current version 7.7.0



Throwback expands game Original War in a high row, from the modification of original multiplayer maps, trough the new maps to new campaing (We apologize but only 2 arabs missions and 2 rebels[MP]).

It uncovers another layers of the dust from remains of thunder past, spinning like a wind around strategic material, catalyst of cold fusion, containing an incredible amount of energy and the origin is so mysteriou, as are his abilities.

Leaders of nations are now fighting on a completely unknown places, yet entirely irrelevant. New and new branches of alternate reality break away and join another, between the space and time they fight four absolutely identical groups of people, for an ancient artefact. Soldiers are on their own and forced to go through the wild, in constant danger from enemy attack. The new base is created and the fights are in the valleys full of death and on the crossroads and rivers.

A long time ago won battles flared again and again, manytime in a single moment, with different leaders and totally different people. It is now clear, that with the battle for the primary deposit is not the end fo the pas... way of the pas are really unpredictable.

However, it is necessary to go back to beginning, to the start. Because here we´re going to watch the mysterious figures of many languages with the same goal - destruction of primary deposit.

The modification includes the Arabian campaign, new multiplayer maps for both, odd and even number of players, missions from the original campaign, playable in multiplayer and multiplayer maps casually related the story campaign. All the nations are setting new power, balacned weapons, defence of the vehicles, etc.Arrabians get better for exaple with purposeful bulldozed and Russians get more powerful diesel power plant. This balance works both in multiplayer and campaign.

The mod is primarily multiplayer-focused — as literally stated in the very first sentence of the description. The Arab campaign only has two missions (also mentioned in the description) because the team working on it had already disbanded back then.

The two skirmish maps aren’t “copied” — they’re restored remnants from the original Altar content, which we had access to earlier than anyone else. The third one is an experimental map, as hinted by its name (beta). The macro there sometimes just decides to give up, which is an unfortunately common issue.

And the new weapons? They’re multiplayer-only .

This has always been a multiplayer mod. If that makes it a “total failure” in your eyes, then you simply misunderstood what the mod actually is.

Terrible crap. Two, maybe three Arab missions — and that's it. Skirmishes are copied from other mods, with only one original one, which is awful — you get your ass kicked right from the start. The second skirmish has a great idea — to make a multiplayer-style game: player vs AI — but it just doesn't work. The AI barely builds up its base and then just sits there doing nothing for the entire game. A pathetic mod, and I honestly have no idea how it managed to get so many subscriptions. Total failure.
P.S. In the Russian skirmish, their special weapon — the "Leviathan" — can't even be produced.

The button systems have been fixed, everything should work properly now.
Sorry it took so long, been working on multiple things with little time.

@Deffington Currently, TB is broken in all directions, work is being done, but I don't have enough time to do it fast enough.
Anyway, TB doesn't change missions, I don't know why there's no button.

Hello. In Russian campaign mission 13 - The Triangulation, there is supposed to be a button for artifact research in laboratory. This button is missing in Throwback mod. Please help.

Tried to mingle with game saves with original game, but while the original game has the button and mission can be completed, it breaks before going next mission.

Error log does not help because it does not make sense, it says there is no defined some function but it is defined. Save will not help because your save will work for me (last case experience)

So I dunno what's wrong.
