Extract the contents of file uberbase.7z into missions > so > uberbase of Heroic mod (not missions > so in vanilla AMRTS).

Explanation of Modified Objective: To win, player must destroy all four HQs (marked on the minimap), not just two at the map's top-left corner as required in the vanilla version. I can always mod the english.dat to make the wording sound somewhat more explicit like "Destroy All Tan HQs" yet the vanilla's wording is already interpretable as such, so



Changes:

Spoiler

Player will start with a Minelayer so they can save... 100 Plastic & 100 Electricity ( ) ;
Just like in vanilla version, player can no longer build Medic Jeeps, yet will start with two Medic Jeeps to undo damages by the Tan's attacks.

The Tan will no longer attack the Player's base top-left corner.

The positions of the trees in front of the Green base's west gate have been slightly changed to remove LoS issue, allowing the Green team to defend their base a li'l bit more easily. However,

The Green team's unit limit is severely reduced to just (200) instead of Heroic's default (4076).

Already present in Heroic 1.1 mod's currently available version:

Spoiler

Player starts with 5,000 Plastic & 6,000 Electricity instead of 6,000 Plastic & 10,000 Electricity. (well, in Heroic's version the Dumdum is ~33,33% tougher (tho' is more expensive & costs 4 Command Points), Dumdum's self-destruct explosion has a large range, and all recource objects have larger capacity (e.g. the vanilla Toaster contains 4000 Electricityl while the Heroic 1.1 Toaster contains 15,000 Electricity (yes, you read that right)) anyway; so starting with a smaller pool of both resources should not be much of a problem)

All Tan on map (including the pesky Choppers) will self-destruct in AWE of Green's victory.

& many more which i can't remember.

Even so, please report bugs! I will fix them asap.

Instructions:

• Extract the contents of the file S11.7z into missions > story > S11 in your Heroic 1.1 copy (NOT vanilla)

Spoilers to give players an idea about what the Tan have in store for Hoover .

Spoiler

Vanilla:



Heroic:



The whole map has also been mined, just to make Hoover useful.

The Heroic cutscene is also made less noisy by creating "Huey" units visually identical to Choppers yet with quiet rotors.

Please report bugs, I will fix them asap!

Minor fixes:
* Fix a bug which prevents the Tan barbed wire posts from properly self-destructing after the mission has been completed;
* Minor modifications to intro cutscene.

Gameplay fix: A Thumbtacks near the resource object Punk Peachy has been converted into a Glue Bomb so player shan't lose Dumptrucks should they forget to sweep with Hoover or generic Minesweepers.

These fixes can actually be done without re-downloading by:
(1) Using NotePad++ to open the objects.cfg file in S11 < story < missions;

(2) Adding these lines of code:

Code: Select all

CreateObject("obj_start_fences", 1946)
{
  ObjectiveObj()
  {
    Condition();
  }
}

(3) Changing this line from:

Code: Select all

CreateObject("army.building.thumbtacks", 4722)

to

Code: Select all

CreateObject("army.building.gluebomb", 4722)

(4) Saving.

SO mission Road Block is toooo hard to finish, even with 'ahoy captain dan' cheat
Can you make it easier ?

To dmarijan,

I genuinely apologize. I cannot make "Road Block" easier otherwise it would not deserve a 5-star rating.

However, I can tell you these tips:

Spoiler

You do not need to destroy the Tan escorts, only the Convoy Trucks. Do not be too proud to run away when you feel you cannot handle all the escorts, who shall not cause you to lose the mission even when you let them get away. The Convoy Trucks move slowly, so focusing your efforts on picking them off.

There are two full-health bonuses, not one.

One is already available at player's starting location

The other, the secret full health bonus, is here next to the Blockos' Town Hall:



Use them judiciously! & I am confident that you will successfully complete the Mission.

Just in case you do not have this, the mission's latest version

Download this file

• convoy.7z

Then extract its contents into the folder convoy < so < missions of your Heroic 1.1 directory.

Spoiler

One more Health bonus is added. Player can find it next to the Blocko's Town Hall:

Dare anyone raze this Tan base to the ground then wipe away the pools of melted Tan-colored plastic?
