I have a great idea for a mod (I wonder how many people have said that before)

The gameplay changes would be like many onlie games, the idea is to capture (Invincible) structers/units (yes you can do that in worldbuilder) so you can create units. This will replace base building. To gain resources the GLA ability, when you kill enemy units you get money, will be given to all sides; therfore you must keep in the action or you cant build units. Standard units to all sides are things like:

1. Assualt Troops (Ranger,Rebel,Red Gaurd)
2. Engineers (Missile Defnder, RPG Trooper,Tank Hunter)
3. Snipers (Path Finders are given to everyone)
4. Finnaly 1 speacial unit (Can't think of USA, Terrorist, Can't think of China)

Vehiceles will be unmanned and strewn across th map. Aircraft will require (capture of) an airbase
As far as Commander abilites go Each side will have five or six powers.

If your at all interested please reply in this forum or E-mail me at jc266943@hotmail.com
I would perfer you to reply in this forum PLEASE RESPOND BY JULY 20TH!

Fell free to edit my ideas and offer your own suggestions as you please!

Sorry for forcing you to read ALL of this but i really want to make this mod. Thanks!

What would make each unit unique besides the look and the special unit?

Each faction would still have their speacal abilities (like when chinese have lots of units together) and each would have their command powers like artilery and stuff

With an airbase the chinese can only build their MIGs and maybe another air unit.

And the same differences in the current game would be there like how USA's units are expansive but more valuble than other units. China's units are less expensive but are not as as good as other units (without numbers)

this is sounding a lot like a rts version of battlefield 2

one comment that I got on my very first post in a forum and what started me modding was 'why don't you learn and do it yourself?' it is very true and then you are in control of your own ideas. I would help but this isn't my area of modding

a lot of this will be in making indervigial maps and limerting what you can and can't build from each building. it also sounds like jumping into a few of the ini files. for this you will need finalbig. eaither look aroud for tutorials or post here for a specific problem

sorry, I have spelling problems
individual maps, most of what you are saying is just restricting things on each map seperatly so you will download one of these mps and play without 'modding' your game (not knowing much about this area I am guessing a lot of this)
