Omega Squadron Instant Action Map Pack

UPDATED 23 MAY 2024

OVERVIEW
Included in this pack are the base vs. base, player versus AI Instant Action maps that were originally included in the Omega Squadron Map Pack, and several new maps. These maps are based on their Strategy and MPI counterparts, (some of which can currently be found in the Omega Squadron Multiplayer Map Pack) but are adapted for Instant Action with a few tweaks. They all utilize the base-building, advanced-strategy-changing AI featuring in Omega Squadron MPI/MPM maps. You will get tanks, APCs, walkers, howitzers, bombers, and sometimes a little of everything sent against your base. The AI will build a base from scratch and rebuild it if it has enough scrap. It will lay minefields to impede your progress. It will use its armory to upgrade and repair its units and defenses. ...Good luck!

FEATURES
See preview images for details including map, faction, weapon, custom code names, etc. The character limit prevents me from listing all features of this mod in the description.

• 25 Instant Action Maps - Maps have a variety of faction match-ups and team make-up (including ally AI teams)
  
• 10 Playable Factions - Factions include the PEX (from Burn's Rebellion), the Red Wolves, Omega Squadron, People's Dragon, Fury-Capable CCA, and Mammoth-Capable CCA. The Red Wolves are playable by default on Hemorrhage and Bellerophon.
  
• Highly Advanced AI - AI on these maps can change strategies, utilize howitzers, minelayers, build their own bases, and use advanced tactics like weapon switching and the occasional sniper use.
  
• New Weapons - To go along with the new factions, this mod features 69 new weapons, which are available through faction armories, in default loadouts, or through custom cheat codes.
  
• New Heavy Tank Vehicles - New CCA, Black Dog, and NSDF heavy tanks are included in this pack: the Mammoth, the Bison, and the Kodiak. Heavy tanks are featured in the default set-ups of Damocles, Threshold, Bellerophon, Nemesis, Mars Fate and more.
  
• Play As Any Faction On Any Map - Using the custom codes in this map pack, you can change your faction or the faction of any AI player on the map, and the map will continue to play without skipping a beat.
  
• Modify Gameplay on the Fly - Using the custom codes in this map pack, you can add or remove gameplay modifiers, such as meteor showers, random Fury encounters, heavy tank or CCA fury use.
