The primary aim of this mod is to get away from the current gameplay which for the most part involves spamming tanks. We are introducing gameplay that requires, scouting and using a variety of units to be successful. Tanks are not the do-all units anymore, instead you need artillery units to take out defenses, tanks to take out artillery units, air units to take out the tanks, and AA units to take out air units. It's basically bringing Rock-Paper-Scissors to the game which we believe makes it more challenging and interesting. We're also making the factions' abilities exclusive. By that we mean only Nod use mines (so no APC mine drops) and they are also the only ones that use cloaking technology. The same applies for GDI who use more EMP now etc. We think this better defines the play styles of the factions so that you aren't just playing each faction more or less the same way.

Description

This is the fourth release of the TALON Mod. This is an interim version that is being released due to some delays getting v1.3 finished. Previous versions do not need to be installed but you need to be patched to the latest version of the game. Two new maps are included in this version "The Four Horse Shoes of the Apocalypse" and "Hadrian's Wall". Details of what has been changed / added can be found in the included readme.

Haven't had any issues with walls at all. The AI doesn't seem to use them.

So I've noticed. Probably a good thing, too...I remember when I set AI builds walls to YES in Firestorm. That was a VERY bad idea.

I don't think you can compare those two... this is a whole different game engine.
