» Army Men RTS for Windows 98 ?
» I recently copped a 20 year old IBM Thinkpad on ebay that runs Windows 98 for the purpose of bustin out some of my favorite old games. Was grinding on NBA Live 04, when RTS came to mind. I looked online for a bit but couldn't find a compatible game file I could transfer to my laptop. Anyone have a version of the game that would work for ya boy? Figured I'd pull up to the forums and ask. Thank you for any help brehs. :ROCK:

» The user data download on the main post is a .zip file, and it can be installed as all of my mods can be: extract to the game's main directory. Specifically, game progress is stored in the file data.cfg which is located in the ../user/ folder of the game. user.png Alternatively, If you copied your old save data over, you should be able to play a single mission to completion (not failure) and the game should unlock everything you would've earned with your current earned medals all at once. AFAIK that is, It's better to use the save data I provided on the post.

» About the user file you added. Since I have all the golds already, how do I install yours with the gold medals? Since I tried in the mission files (with user in it) and it didn't work. Not sure where to put it. Since I would like to play the Operation Missions.

» Ants Ants Ants! On Steroids!
» Credits to TommyCD1 for making the original Ants Ants Ants! map, which this map is based on. Download Link: insectsonsteroids.7z Extract to your vanilla Army Men RTS root directory. Custom Campaigns \ Missions Add-on Support, by TommyCD1, is recommended. The Ants and Cockroaches have been injected with steroids concocted by a Certain Mad & Bad Doctor Sedge. The steroids: Make the Ants' and Cockroaches' chitinous exo-skeletons tougher; Allow them to spit further; Make their spits stronger and deal splash damage; Allow the Soldier Ants to knock down Aircrafts ( :o ) with their spits. Mission Objective: Destroy all Nurseries Medal Goals: No Heroes Lost Pick Up all Bonuses There are four Bonuses: two full health bonuses, one speed boost, and one newly added weapon boost ( 8) ). Q: Where to find them Bonuses? A: Hints https://i.imgur.com/l1kJa9I.png https://i.imgur.com/1PS220c.png The Player-controlled Green Team shall start with just 2,000 Plastic and 800 Electricity; however, Thick has answered Sarge's call to arms: https://i.imgur.com/AIZKxf9.png The stats of all five Heroes' (Sarge's, Vikki's, Thick's, Scorch's, and Bullseye's) are buffed. They are all stronger and tougher than they were in vanilla; and only take 80% damage from Ants' and Cockroaches' spits. Even Thick will prove himself to be quite usefully powerful. The Green Team has the foresight to stock up on more resource objects: https://i.imgur.com/sAKhYW5.png https://i.imgur.com/QbgoBbr.png https://i.imgur.com/APkSutd.png Also, there are more destructible props so players can let off steam ( X-( ) https://i.imgur.com/jPope37.png https://i.imgur.com/WCdGc8X.png https://i.imgur.com/faiSSNx.png Last yet not least, Please report bugs, I will fix them asap! P.S. You can actually extract to either subfolder gb or so < missions of your AMRTS Heroic 1.1; however, to be able to play the Ants Ants Ants! On Steroids.x mission; you will need use NotePad++ to Open the file if_shell.cfg in shell < p < client < p Find and change if ("sys.buildtype", "!=", "release") { Exec("if_shell_missionlist.cfg"); } to if ("sys.buildtype", "==", "release") { Exec("if_shell_missionlist.cfg"); } then also find and change: if ("sys.buildtype", "!=", "release") { CreateControl("Development", "Static") { Geometry("Right"); Size(100, 30); CreateControl("Missions", "Shell::Button") { Geometry("ParentWidth"); Size(0, 30); Font("System"); Text("Missions"); OnEvent("Button::Notify::Pressed") { Activate("|Shell::MissionSelect"); Deactivate("<<"); } } } } to if ("sys.buildtype", "==", "release") { CreateControl("Development", "Static") { Geometry("Right"); Size(100, 30); CreateControl("Missions", "Shell::Button") { Geometry("ParentWidth"); Size(0, 30); Font("System"); Text("Missions"); OnEvent("Button::Notify::Pressed") { Activate("|Shell::MissionSelect"); Deactivate("<<"); } } } } https://i.imgur.com/rGilBTC.png https://i.imgur.com/o9SwPk2.png https://i.imgur.com/ImlFtJa.png

» maps where you cannot rely on Heroes, such as some Great Battles where you only have Sarge and cannot use him effectively to defend multiple chokepoints. I'll add more Heroes to those two GB missions Scorch, Shrap, & Hoover for waterway "Waterway War" Riff, Thick, & Bullseye for basement "Basement Baloney" I hope I can finish doing so by this week's Sunday (17 March).

» Download Link S09.7z Extract the contents of S09.7z into S09 < story < missions of your AMRTS Heroic 1.1 copy. Changes: Fixed a bug which caused Two Half-Tracks + Infantry combo to come much earlier than intended; Fixed the backwards-facing Heroes bug: https://i.imgur.com/WQeu3fg.png The Outpost is assigned... one more Bazooka Man as guard https://i.imgur.com/KRb9Ug9.png The Speed Boost is moved towards the end of the road; the Green Team shall need to fight the Tan guards to get it: https://i.imgur.com/jYBfazv.png Redesigned the event-triggers: The "Tan welcome commitee" (1 Grunt + 1 Machinegunner + 1 Half-Track + 1 Chopper from the West and 1 Grunt + 1 Sniper from the Northeast ) will pay the Blokos' Village a visit AFTER the Green Team will have built an HQ or Resource Depot (the hero-armored Bravo Company can easily crush them tho') The Tan western Base and eastern Outpost will only attack AFTER the Green Team will have killed all Tan units guarding the Road; even so, the Green Team shall still be compelled to clear the Road because the Villagers will always come out at the 5-min mark (5 minutes should suffice for the player-controlled Green Team to build some defense and a few Medic Jeeps); The Tan Base & Outpost shall dispatch attack squads less often. Tips: Rush the Super Duper HQ to unlock AA Guns or simply leave 1 Hero (Sarge or Riff or Thick; advisably Riff because he deals splash damage) at home to defend against Choppers; Spamming Infantry is inadvisable, as the Tan attack squads consist of only anti-infantry units (Don't worry too much about the attacking and defending Tan Snipers; Bullseye outranges them and, even if Tan Snipers somehow get the 1st shot on him, it shall take them...seven shots to fell hero-armored Bullseye); If player has enough Electricity, lay down Thumbtacks to outright kill the incoming Half-Tracks so base defense will only have to handle Infatry & Choppers. Please report bugs, I will fix them asap!

» Okay. I probably will not be playing this anytime in the future soon, but I can help bugfix if need be, anyone else reports things. My advice for balancing difficulty, especially in regards to vanilla gameplay: If you want more difficult Tan attacks, they should never be simply made bigger. I would recommend either making them slightly faster (either sending them sooner, or sending them more frequently) or replacing units with "stronger" variants. For example, instead of grunts, send grenadiers. Instead of machine gunners, send snipers. Instead of half-tracks, send tanks. Add a single mortar man to a squad. There are lots of ways to drastically increase the effectiveness of the enemy AI in very subtle ways. Another reason making enemy squads even 10-20 seconds more frequent, or the reason why the vanilla game only sends squads every 5 or so minutes: the Tan AI has the advantage of having an already fully constructed base, AND has an exorbitant amount of resources, AND being a computer player is can micro-manage perfectly. 10 - 20 seconds can make a big different when you are out of resources, and you're trying to fight your way in after trading units with towers and other static defenses. It also helps in that, while the Tan is attacking the player, yes, the main flow of the game is going to usually be the player advancing onto the Tan's territory. Meaning that they have the advantage in that their facilities construct units which are then thrust into battle sooner: they have less distance to go after all and pretty much construct as soon as possible (ignoring build modifier handicaps of course).

Latest Updates
Great news! clanexf.com now has an SSL certificate for better security. We also got rid of amrtscw.com but aquired armymenrts.com in the event of future Army Men RTS projects. Lasty, the login on this page has been disabled because of an update that conflicted with it. Hopefully we can get that fixed in the future.
Wow! What happened to the old layout? Let’s just say it was outdated. Although personally I was satisfied with the design, the layout was no longer appropriate for today’s multi-screen devices. This new design is simple but responsive, meaning the content will adjust depending on the device's screen size. Still trying to work out all the kinks so if you notice something strange, just send me a message in the forums.
