PurpleGaga27 40 Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Since RA3 Patch 1.13 will now remain to some folks in the CNC community to develop their own way of regular balance changes within RA3 without extra content, I decided that this patch mod shall be renamed to RA3 Patch 1.5 due to the Uprising content included. The reason why I made this change is because calling RA3 Alternative as a mod isn't a good name to fit and most people don't want Uprising content in RA3 Patch 1.13 after all. This balanced mod for RA3 plays the alternative way (the way it is meant to be played) with modified balance changes and some Uprising content. This is the mod that could change online play. Some of the units not fitting in this mod due to imbalancing are the Giga-Fortress, Harbinger Gunship, Ursa Major, Greater King Oni and the Shogun Executioner. After 3 revisions this is the last balanced mod version for this patch mod. I decide to hit something more bigger and deeper in the RA3 modding area now that I can work on finishing my RA3 Reloaded mod. Expect a Moddb page sometime soon for the news and its release.

All of them have zoom improvement. Download: Mirror 1: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zjnflznlmyt Mirror 2: http://www.filefront.com/16289761/RA3-Modified-Maps.7z/ Note that you have to replace the Maps11.big with the modified one. It works for RA3 patches 1.11 and 1.12. However, I recommend you make a backup before replacing it. As for all 7z files, they can be opened with either WinRAR, 7-Zip or PowerArchiver. --------------------------------- Revision 1-3 changes --------------------------------- Global Changes: - The following Uprising units are included in the mod: Cyro Legionnaire, Pacifier FAV, Future Tank X-1, Grinder, Mortar Cycle, Reaper, Desolator, Chief Scientist, Tesla Tank, Archer Maiden and Steel Ronin. - All Uprising maps from Bibber's RA3 Upheaval are modified, updated and included into this patch mod. - Oil Derrick health increased to 2500 from 1500.

Gben 20 Posted April 17, 2010 It's been so long, it feels, since I played that I can't tell whether I like these changes. But now that I say that... my only feature request that I have been wanting is to nerf yuriko's anti-air ability if not remove it completely. (Maybe a cool-down per individual air units would be enough). And seriously, Tanya, needs a better secondary ability. Share this post Link to post

Despite my last update on this mod, there's nothing much left for me to do to re-modify to this mod. I might do the nerf of Yuriko's anti-air ability in another mod I am working on. For this mod, it's fine as it is. Tanya doesn't have a replacement ability I could think of. Share this post Link to post
