The Giant has woken from its slumber General...
A few days ago, the United States left its self imposed isolation to join with the ECA in the war against Russia. Worryingly, the US has decided to establish their main foot hold south of Vladivostok. This means the war is happening right on our doorstep and threatens our own security. A few hours ago, a force of American experimental drones went haywire and attacked key Chinese border towns and bases. The most critical base contains a Nuclear Silo which is aimed towards Russia. We cannot allow this base to fall, as it prevents a Russian invasion without dire consequences. If we feel that our base is close to collapse, we will have no choice but to nuke the main drone base. No matter what the cost. We are still neutral in this conflict, so we cannot allow Chinese units to destroy the berserk drones in Russia. Instead, use Black Lotus to capture a drone outpost so you eliminate the remaining American drones. Do this quickly General. We cannot risk a war with the United States at this critical time, and they are sure to investigate any attacks on their expensive technology. Objective 1: Capture the Drone Assembly. Objective 2: Destroy all Drone Structures. Objective 3: Protect the Chinese Command Center. Should the Nuclear Missile be launched, await further orders in the field. Hints: Although the Russians are not on your side, they are more interested in protecting their homeland from the drones rather than fighting you, so perhaps it is best to leave them alone. It may be possible to take out the drones before they heavily damage the Chinese base, but it will be very difficult. [attachment=2500:EnemyOfFlesh.zip] |

so just tried it, good mission but 2 problems.
1. a second command center cannot be built for expansion or to rebuild the first if its lost after u gain control of the main base due to the faction china object being missing you can either add the object in (its in china system) or u can set in a script for it to be built ignoring prerequisites 2. you built it on 1.86, the drone plant is removed in 1.87 as drone production now comes from the war factory on a second construction menu, on 1.87 the map is fully broken. -------------------- |

Thanks for playing the mission and the feedback. I keep forgetting about the faction system, it's quite annoying to have to add it in but I get why it's there in the first place. I know about the changes to 1.87 but I wanted to finish this one first as I started it 4 months ago before having a break and only just got around to finish it, hence using 1.86. I'm going to begin to use 1.87 from now on to make missions and will most likely start by converting this one. |

but thats just my view, up 2 u on what to do. -------------------- |

Just played it and I have to say... WOW! Amazing work, RedDeadSmeg! Please, if you have time, do port it to 1.87, because a mission as great as this one should be available for every next build. The same goes for all other missions. I really liked how you managed the "diplomacy" (if I can call it that way), with the faction's relations going back and forth (I was surprised when I saw I can't attack the Russians, so I assumed they were my allies, but when I sent my Black Lotus, conscripts had a nasty surprise for me ). Anyway, fantastic work and just keep 'em comin'!

Anyway, fantastic work and just keep 'em comin'! Glad you enjoyed the mission 3rdShockArmy I've got a week off work so i'm sure I can make an 1.87 version of this fairly quickly and seems quite easy to convert. The diplomacy aspect of the mission is my favourite part because it shows China's concerns about the drones and Russia focusing on protecting themselves, hence why they don't mind you taking out the drone base but will attack you if you go near their base (Sorry to hear about your Black Lotus ). I'm just working on a new quick Russian mission at the moment so once that's done I'll work on the 1.87 version of Angry Machines, thanks for the positive feedback and I hope you enjoy the next mission!
