If I would start a mod for RA2/yr

[Jason 0]

Since my broken computer cant run 3d cnc's(A plus to some.) I was going to start a mod for RA2/YR when it is fixed ,Or if I get a new one. If I did, how would I get people to play it. I was going to ask if people still played, yet the round table gave me courage to say I will make a RA2 mod, I just wonder if people would play it.If you are interested, I could make a post about what I have so far.

It all depends on the direction you want to take. If you want to expand the game and add units, make sure it's consistent and fluid with the game's design and not just a hodgepodge of extra bull**** that serves no purpose. If balance is what you're after, it's been done to death. Play my creation Beowulf's Rules if you want that.

 

I suggest a total conversion or a half conversion with a new campaign. You have to be very unique to get a good following any more.

 

A handy tip - if you use the words advanced or "mk 2" on a unit, don't add that unit.

Well, I was actually going for a half conversion With a mix of few new units, redesign old and old. My mod would also have a new Country Hero Unit where a skirmish mode would have a unique hero for each nation. I'll make a new post about it once I have a better idea of what is staying and going. As for balance, I was going to make it my way, and let the community tell me what to change, yet still keeping the units original purpose in mind.

 

thanks for this.

 

 

No, I don't like the "Mk-2" idea. If I change something, I'll give it a new name, or add an extra word.

Specific heroes hasn't been done yet but it will be a pain to make each one unique while keeping true to the universe. If you keep the right mindset and keep everything fluid and together with the existing game, you should come out with a decent product in the end.

 

Just please, please, please don't add new units because you can.

I wasn't planing to, I was just going to put what I think is cool. In total I was going to make only a few things new. Most of it will be re skined versions of there original form, and Other things that look better IMO.
