Thanks so much for this amazing mod and for your excellent and extensive documentation here in this thread, it's all greatly appreciated! I just have one spelling correction for you: "IMUNE" should be spelled properly as "IMMUNE", thanks and keep up the fantastic work! :) :Tiberium:

Hey, awesome mod! :47_thumb_up:

Would be cool if you add an INI option to enabling build the opposite superweapon and defenses, also maybe enable capturing them? Like when I play GDI and capture a NOD construction yard so that I can build the temple and obelisk?

Thanks. It is already possible in skirmish and I don't plan to enable it in campaign, changing things in campaign may break the missions as I have learned with the balanced changes I made for skirmish.

In the future, would it be possible to create a full Rules.INI file for all units, structures, and weapons that is fully compatible with the .DLL code changes you created in Veterancy and More for TD (and your RA version of this mod)? I'm a programmer and could help with this task if you share the source somewhere like Git.

It is possible and there is a mod for TD that has done it, it is called NCO but I currently don't have plans to include that.
As for RA you can already use your rules.ini (just extract it from the *.mix file or download it from the internet), then put it into the CNCDATA folder and it should work.

Oh that's great to hear that the original RA rules.ini file is compatible with your RA version of this mod! I wasn't sure if it would be since you've made such extensive changes to the game systems. Thanks! :)

Thanks for the reply.

I see, but I don't think this would "break" any missions. In regards to balance the veteran status, more precise the legendary state of a mammoth is OP anyways, I could win an entire mission with ONE mammoth tank on legendary. It could handle anything the AI threw at it. I mean the game and missions never were a real challenge, maybe in 1996 when I was 13 ;)

Is there any desire to enable humvee's and tanks to hold infantry also, as well as enable them to fire? Not to make anytthing sound OP, but tanks usually have a gunner position on top, and I'm sure at least one of the C&C's enabled scout humvees to carry people (generals probably).

I was taking a look at the rules.ini mod to see if I can do it myself. I can see an options to enable occupants and set how many, but nothing that says they can fire. Looking at your description, you created that yourself for APC's only?
