4th General For Each Faction, Have anyone thought about it ? Options

[Nemanja]

I don't want anyone to get me wrong,I just started this for fun,
I mean cmon guys spit out your Generals and their branches.

Also,have you,devs,thought sometimes about it,and are there some
generals or just general,you've scrapped in favour of those that are on their way ?

Vincenzo 'V.V.' Valentini
Tactics: Mountain and Underground Warfare

Restrictions: No Motar Tracks / No Tanks / No Grenadeers / No Protocol GP
Boons: Improved Map Mobility / Infiltration Units / Improved Moles

Bio:
While much of the focus of the battle for Europe was in the german and french countryside, the Alpine front was just as integral to ECA defense plans. Indeed, somewhat even more critical than the battle for France, since the boot of Italy was the imposing 'land carrier' that would keep the Russian Blacksea fleet from being able to make the mediterrainian and africa its own fishing waters.

Throughout the conflict, the entire adraditic coast would find itself fortified much like the world war two atlantic wall with Dutch and Italian engineers constructing some of the most intricate defensive structures in the war. Yet for all this strategic defense, the real defense of italy would be in the Austrian and Italian Alps, defending the Dolomites, Carnic and Tyrol regions.
Valentini being the highest ranking italian officer in the ECA (not to mention the oldest) other than the his counterpart in the navy, was ultermatly responsible for the defense of the alpine line that had been constructed to keep Europe safe well before the russian invaison.

While the initial russian advance would be checked north-east of Insbruk, withour sufficent aircover, such positions would be pushed futher south and west as the russians pushed across Europe. With most manpower being allocated to france, Italy would have to rely on its own draft of infantry solider to man the fronteer.

As Valentini found his command expanded, he would turn to his Dutch and Spanish counterparts to improve the mountain defense line. As such, he would support a R&D project to develop atomic 'subterrerres' that would be able to melt tunnels underneath the mountains of the Alps in which to provide cover and supply for soliders, as well as to outflank russian advances and supprise them with attacks behind enemy lines in much the same way the GLA had been known to utlise tunnel networks. These Subterrerres however have prooved expensive piece of kit and can be a radiation hazard on being destoyed. However the ability to develop his own tunnel networks was yet another innovative step that allowed the Europeans to turn the tide of battle.

Special Building:
Geothermal Bore:
Utilising Subterrerre technology, the italians were able to solve a vunerability of Solaris power relay being taken out via russian airpower. An atomic core would be created and having been placed over the earth, would melt its way through the earths crust to great depth to tap into the natural heat below Italy. Eventually the combinded heat and presure would typically cause the core to degrade, however by this point the bore hole could have water pumped into it, and the heat collected to drive steam turbine plants, thus allowing an alternative power source to power ECA defences and factories. While less in terms of energy generation, geothermal bores can be built in number to create a more distributed power network ~25 power units each.

Bulldog Gun Turret:
Gains this ability with R&D center rather than have the cannon turret as an 'AT' base defense.

Special Units:
Alpini-Jaeger
Replaces Felin soliders. With a simmilar model that lacks Manpads. Can also upgrade with 'field camoflage', which makes them stealthed when not moving.

Commandos
Gains the ability to build commandos from the barracks, very costly and random as to which kind of commando you get.

Mole Minelayer:
Upgrade: Packrat upgrade
Improves the Mole Minelayer with 'pact rat' moles that deploys three seperate smaller moles that allow for more distributed damage to targets.


Special Ability:
Atomic Subterrerre:
A rank 5 Generals Power it is effectivelly very simmilar to the sneak attack generals power that creates a 'tunnel opening'. The ability when activated causing a medium 'heat damage' effect zone above the targeted tunnel opening zone, as well as a short lived radioactive 'scattering' from the tunneling machine on initial deployment (the vehicle itsself is effectivelly just an animation, since the vehicle is part of the building; the tunnel).

On the buildings destruction, the engineers that control the machine induce a fission reaction that causes a small salted nuclear explosion (normal pandora protocol nuke attack). Hence it also doubles as a way to attack an enemies base by blowing up their defenses with an 'atomic mine'.

At least two subterrerre tunnels have to be deployed before it can be used in terms of a tunnel network, since the ECA otherwise 'lack' a tunnel network.




A nod towards Nod's Underground APC, and also I thought the high tech 'wunderwaffe' Europeans should get something as interesting as this. Since the Alpine front has hardly been touched in the fluff, but it would be a key battleground.
