Cygnus X-1

I didnt say I wanted only classics. I said I would like too see the classics I mentioned redone for XP.

Which game? Igot it out of TS and FS, and I found and got the Intro music for RA,RA2, and YR. I also found the map selection music for all the games (that I have)

I say the Soviet economy is decent dbecause their miners carry twice as much ore as the Allies, and the Industrial plant makes all vehicles cheaper to produce. And the Soviets do have slow artillery, until the Seige chopper arrives. It takes a scond or two to dploy and undeploy, but int groups when deployed, magnettrons cant last long, and neither can masterminds.

1. Saddam Hussien was gasing his own people with weapons that the U.N. told him to get rid off. Yes the Americans gave a bunch of stupid reasons for going to war, they should have just said "Saddam has had twelve years to disarm since Desert Storm, and in that twelve years, he has rebuilt his weapons stock and used them to kill his own people." 2. I personally believe that the U.N. is losing power. They went in and "inspected" Iraq, declaring that Hussien disarmed as was ordered. The UN refused to believe they news reports that THEY PUBLISHED abou him gasing the Kurds, and when the US went in to wage war, he fought them. Quite poorly, mind you, but he fought the US with weapons that the UN said he didnt have. Also the fact that the Americans went in despite UN misgivings says something about the power of the UN right there. 3. America does seem to have interest in global policing. Despite the fact that it kills their own troops and taxes their own people. It says one of two things about US leaders. ONE. They are good at heart, looking out for others, TWO(the more likely case) Their leaders are nuts, going around the world, "saving it for democracy", when if they would look out their front windows, they would see a people that need saving for democracy. Their own people. America is hardly a democracy anymore, what with party politics and all that. A house divded against itself cannot stand, and America is quite divided against itself. Perhaps its only a matter of time...

And the two nukes used against japan actually caused less death and destruction than the fire bombings (that's with napalm, for those of you who arent into pyrotechnics. Not that any of you arent :wink: ) on German cities and especially Japanese cities. Their paper buildings hardly needed napalm to set them off., and the cities were so crowded. BTW, and invasion of Japan would have cost an estimated 3million casualties+ for both sides combined. Compare to 80,000 deaths from a WWII vintage A-Bomb.

The Americans dont go around gasing and killing their own people. The nukes are for killing the big countries after they nuke others. Iraq had Scuds and chemical weapons. Its not that had to put the two together, then you have long range bio-weapons. Then every one (well, maybe not France :roll: ) would have gone to war with Iraq. Too many people focus on the wrong subject here. What about North Korea threatening to use their nuclear weapons if anyone gets in their way? What about India and Pakistans hatred for each other, and the threats of unholy genicide btween the two? Back to topic, I think any suicide unit is annoying when being used against you. Terror drones and squids are especially annoying, because you have to kill your own units to get rid of them. Also, the Nod artillery in FS are sooo annoying, because they were really good in TS, and then after technological improvements, they suck.

Counter fire with artillery and V3's

Yes I know that. I would like to extract them so I could listen to them without having to play the game. And i've been looking into copying and puting some music from one game to another.

Which game?

Or a game store You could buy online too. Usually very cheap.

I didnt say apoc rush, I said use apocs in a Soviet defense. A lot. Apoc rush with rinos, flak traks, drones, troops, choppers (lots) and Kirovs. Plus a nuke and an Iron curtain (if available) Overall, Allies have pretty good attack forces, weak on armor, decent dfense. Decent economy. Soviets have powerful attack force, excelent armor, excelent defense (battle bunkers get the guys inside ranked, and telsa troop-powered coils are almost unbeatable. They're stronger and hav a higher rate of fire.) Soviets have decent economy. Yuri has poor attack forces, (excelent at harassment), excellent defense, and a very good economy. Until a sniper shows up and gets elite status on killing your slaves. Or a mirage tank. Or a chrono dude, or Tanya, or aircraft, or Boris, or desolator, or.....(on and on) Allies have pretty good navy. Soviets have better navy. Yuri has best navy until aircraft show up.

1. How often does a Yuri player have time to send his capture units to a grinder durring the middle of an assault without losing his pychics? 2. deployed seige choppers will waste the masterminds. So will undeployed ones for that mater. 3. A magnet tron will bring the Apoc closer, then boom! goes the magnetron. 4. Terror drones are fast cheap, and a pain the rear end if you are going against them. Unless you have lots of prisms.

They should do new versions of the SW classics. Like Yoda stories, X-Wing, X-Wing Alliance, Tie Fighter. You know, the classics. Of Star Wars. BTW Republic Commando looks good.

:lol: That would be awesome. The whole story is completely ridiculous and unrealistic, but that's part of the fun of it. You aren't supposed to do that much thinking while watching a Bond movie. They're just entertaining! :wink: Its gets kinda old though. (dont tell me if I dont like 'em, dont watch 'em.) Someone says a new JB movie, and I say, yeah, he goes in, gets captured, makes a darring escape, then they throw some lady in bed with him, The End. Boring.

He was supposed to be able to put infantry into the clonning vats for money, like a grinder, but with the addition of the grinder, thats pointless. Yuri cant control heroes, even if he could, they wouldnt let him get close enough.

Have you ever tried to attack a properly fortified Soviet Base? Artillery fire doesnt work, they have the only non-rocket artillery, flak just downs the rest, including all the aircraft. No vehicle on the ground can go one on one with an Apoc, escept a mastermind, and they can only hold so much. Apocs also serve as good anti-air untis. And teslas that are being charged can own any number of attacking units with a few battle bunkers for close support, and some dogs to rush viruses with. And 2 typhoons can take a boomer, if narowly. And no infantry can beat desolators, except snipes, but that whats dogs are for. And with seige choppers deployed in and around the base, no ground unit lasts long, even without Apocs taking them apart. As for assaulting, boomers are better then dreadnoughts, but Yuri has no way to defend them from arial attacks. And there is virtually no way to stop an Apoc rush unless you have hordes of harriers and blackeagles to bomb them. Grand cannons only do so much, and the prism towers slow rate of fire means 1-2 shots before they get wiped. Add the Soviet industrial plant in for cheaper units built faster, The Soviets can be the hardest to beat. However, this takes great money magement, and many people I have played arent too good at managing their money. And remember, a spy cant walk through walls, tanks, or water.

If you follow his storyline hes like, 60 years old. And nobody is that good. Not nobody not nohow. Even if its just a movie. Maybe he could train an apprentice, or see the rise of someonelse, superspy. By the way, what he does is more like oneman specops missions where the lone opperative gets $1,000,000,000,000 worth of equipment. And he happens to be a ladies man.

Now these people are messing up the SW storyline. The Rebbelion does exist at this time, but their military power is insuficient to challenge the Empire anywhere in the galaxy.

Then youre no help. Anyone else?

For the next "Bond" movie, he should get shot by some regular soldier or guard. The he should die. The End. Back to maps, there is a RA map available (I think from raafraid.org) that is called "The Hills Have Eyes" In the middle of the map there is an extensive civilian village that is "heavily fortified" and the civilians have a few, shall we say, "priveledged" among them. They are also red on the radar, so dont be red. (darn)

Personally dont like James bond. He gets away with too much. What if in RA3 they brought back missions where you were in a building (like in RA) Then you could get house to house fighting. Sort of.

Sorry. I asked the latest in a string of off-topic questions. Grand Theft Auto is not really a racing game. More of a first person shooter where the main focus is stealing and using vehicles. And I still dont like Halflife. (but hey, thats just me)

Tiberium Darkness sounds cool. Tiberium Eclipse sound even better.

I believe world builder was a side project to Generals that never really gor finished. You might want to look around on C&C sites for fan subbmitted worldbuilder upgrades or different mapmaking programs. I was pissed when mine didnt work either. Sorry, I dont know of any specific mapmaker programs for Generals.

Or run RA in compatability mode for Win95. Its what I did, and it works like a charm.
