Maybe there is some way to alter the colour palette? That what is now rendered as red becomes blue? So not change what colour China has, but what that colour looks like?

I found the solution: This option, unlike the resolution or the camera height, can't be changed via INIZH.big directly, but apparently has to be changed in GameData.ini. Not sure why, but it works now. Does anyone here have an extracted GameData.ini for Vanilla Generals?

Did the Empire really have blueprints for a Nano Core Royal Palace?

Sweet. Do you have codes for RTS-focussed Youtube channels by any chance?

I have to agree with that. "Kids these days have no patience and only like watered-down stuff" is a popular cliché, but it's ultimately just that - a cliché. I'd even say that it's the other way around: The classic RTS game are the ones that are fast-paced and short. SC may require handing out orders fast and managing squads ata high speed, but the overall time you spend in a match seems a lot longer to me. There are exceptions, of course, like the original Age of Empire - but that's mainly because building anything in AoE takes half an hour.

The second Soviet mission features more sniping as well as more of the new support powers. The Soviets have to have a whole bunch of old satellites just waiting to be dropped on someone! Soviets Mission 2: Circus of Treachery

Ah, thanks. I played TW and KW a while after they came out, so I missed all of that.

I'm curious about this one. Does this refer to v1.0 of the patch or KW in general?

It's pretty much impossible to tell anyway. If for some magical reason MOBAs didn't exist, RTS games could be as popular now as MOBAs are... or be as popular as they are right now, with the MOBA niche being empty. We don't know.

At this point, I consider VR to be like 3D films: A nice gimmick.

Thanks. I want to record the mission as part of an LP, though, and don't want to uninstall the TFD games and then reinstall them, so I'm probably just dig out my Deluxe Edition copy.

As 90% of all such anti-piracy matters, it only makes it a hassle for the honest customer (who runs into trouble when his WiFi is even slightly unstable) whereas the pirate isn't bothered (because he uses an offline crack anyway).

Sweet! While we are already discussing this: Is there a way to have the unofficial TFD patch apply changes only to selected games? I want to restore the GLA mission, but I don't want the other games to be patched, and I don't have access to my Deluxe Edition right now.

The static background image and/or the announcer voice?

No worries, 8-Bit Armies will get all the content - provided you but the next 15 pieces of DLC.

I'm not using that. Is there an option in one of the config file to get back the animated background? Well, I'm not even using the TFD patch. I'll try the unofficial and the official patches and see what happens.

£3 for the Ultimate Collection? That's a pretty good deal.

This is the mission where you can blow up the Word Trade Centre if you really want to - removed from the original box art, but not from the game!

RTS games being dead is a self-fulfilling prophecy when so few of them are produced.

This mission is surprisingly difficult (relatively spoke) consider that it's only the second mission. The Allies have a good amount of units and a comparably strong navy. Also, why does Vladimir hates hotels so much.

But Soviets with Tesla Suits and time-travelling Germans wasn't weird in 1996? You already made it clear in other threads that you have issues with U.S. foreign policy, but that doesn't mean everybody else has to follow that. Also, if you don't like the mods or the games because they are "stupid", I suggest you... just don't play them. Problem solved.

That option draws the entire map, which can cause FPS drops or crashes. Maybe they modified it so the game draws more of the map, but not the entire map. Just a guess, though.

Just my gut feeling, but I think Apple was on top o' the world somewhere around 2009-12 when Macbooks were all the rage, but then fell behind when the competition stepped up and delivered similar (and sometimes better and/or cheaper) stuff, and haven't full recovered since. Apple is still a powerful brand with many loyal customers, obviously, but the wow factor seems to have died down a bit.

IIRC, it doesn't. However, Moebius isn't much of an issue anyway because you can control him. Forcibly selling the hospital (I think that is possible through a trick) is a mission failure, though.

I played that mission once back then, once more for my LP, and never since. And I had to sandbag all the civilians. And Nyergud's patch already removes the Blossom Tree! Also, did you know that Moebius can be sold via the sandbag trick?
