Posted by: Lord Atlantis 19 Jun 2009, 5:40
Thats been an easter egg for a while 
I dunno where it is from or what it is paying homage too, but its an easter egg/
Posted by: C.o.m.m.a.n.d.e.r 19 Jun 2009, 5:47
that doesnt even look like its from generals at all lol nice find tho should make it buildable just for the hell of it. looks like somthing off of C&C3 or somthing

It takes 10 Armor gen planes doing a Payload to take it out
Posted by: C.o.m.m.a.n.d.e.r 19 Jun 2009, 7:40
armor gen planes are weak try airforce gens planes or nuclear MiG bombers 
wish i knew how to even begin with the editor otherwise ide have fn with them myself

That's easter egg units after release 0.95 and it was The Hunter made(I guess).
You can edit any custom maps.

Erm, not really. 2 Razors with Black Napalm can take out a Firebase while 2 regular Stealth Fighter cant IIRC.

If i remember correctly this is the Executioner and belongs to WarGames
Posted by: The_Hunter 19 Jun 2009, 11:29
Negative it's from the a game Called Starsiege.
You did get the name right tho
Posted by: Erik 19 Jun 2009, 12:11
Saw this a while ago already.
And btw unupgraded window > unupgraded King Raptor currently.
reminds me of an Earth series UCS unit actually, that would have been my guess.
Posted by: Pal 19 Jun 2009, 13:01
its a executioner...
it has two lazers and two ap gattling gunsand too OVERPOWERED
Posted by: Pickysaurus 19 Jun 2009, 14:27
Where do you find that? Or do you need to put it in or World Builder
Posted by: CommanderJB 19 Jun 2009, 16:13
Yes, the unit can't be accessed during regular gameplay and must be added to a custom map through WB. And @Pal, "OVERPOWERED" is completely the point.
Posted by: Ðåñž Q 19 Jun 2009, 18:58
Its weakness is its low AA-Range. It tears down helicopters but is too slow for planes.
Posted by: C.o.m.m.a.n.d.e.r 19 Jun 2009, 19:57
some1 should make a defence map with these attacking multiplayer too!
Posted by: Pickysaurus 19 Jun 2009, 20:52
multiplayer too!This is a good idea, I'd like so see any map with this little toy in it. Just because I fail at WB D:
Posted by: Zhao 20 Jun 2009, 0:29
i can help you learn it i learned it without any tutoring is pretty easy once you get the basics down
Posted by: Revan 20 Jun 2009, 2:41
Ah the good old executioner...
A cookie for the one who first finds the one in the shellmap 
Posted by: Pickysaurus 20 Jun 2009, 4:33
You've got me interested...
And I never use the shellmap - it's an unnecessary evil.
I watched it though after first run, just because I wanted to appreciate the effort that went into it.
Posted by: C.o.m.m.a.n.d.e.r 20 Jun 2009, 7:17
wats shellmap?
Posted by: CommanderJB 20 Jun 2009, 7:39
The shellmap is the scenario map that plays in the background of the game menus. Like most others I've disabled it (i.e. I always use quickstart) as while it's awesomely brilliant and good to watch for the first few times it just lags and takes up time that I could better spend playing the game.
Posted by: C.o.m.m.a.n.d.e.r 20 Jun 2009, 8:35
oh so the begining background movie thing well now i know its called a shellmap thx lol and its either 3 or 4 i think its 3 anyways if u have alot of RAM shellmap doesnt even play even without quickstart shows a picture of a hellfire cannon base defense from china special weapons general
Posted by: CommanderJB 20 Jun 2009, 9:35
Looks like your shortcuts are messed up, as that's the quickstart launch.
Also, what exactly is '3 or 4 i think its 3'?
Posted by: C.o.m.m.a.n.d.e.r 20 Jun 2009, 10:25
GB of ram. and no is not quickstart launch and not even my comp its my friends he has 4GB of RAM just a normal launch does it. me and him start the same exact way his just shows the picture. unless it could be his SLI and the game not supporting it
Posted by: ka1000 20 Jun 2009, 12:31
haha, starsiege
good times. i used to mess around all the time with the mech's skins, since the games files where not compiled or anything. you could just access anything in explorer
Posted by: Pickysaurus 20 Jun 2009, 14:21
Commander, I do think your batch files are jumbled...
Posted by: Ðåñž Q 20 Jun 2009, 15:43
multiplayer too!I made one last year, but it is simple and a bit easy, especially when youu've found the Executioner's soft spots. AI is too stupid to manage them properly.
Posted by: accomplice 20 Jun 2009, 23:51
multiplayer too!Defense map has been made already. Look up the addons for SWR on moddb, there is a map called tower defense.
There, you have only dozers and can only build defenses and power plants. And there are about 30 waves of attacking units (3 mins of infantry, all kinds of tanks, planes, helis, bomb trucks, etc.) Last wave is 2 execs

Sounds awesome!

It is

but the last round is easy compared to previous ones
Posted by: Pickysaurus 21 Jun 2009, 2:05
Don't suppose you could supply a link?
I'm useless at navigation ModDB
Posted by: CCCD 21 Jun 2009, 16:32
would it be possible to add the Mech to a build list, or build-able at a warfactory, for I would love to spam these in some hard or pointless mission maps. Also isn't there meant to be some kind of infantry-easter egg, I just seem to remember in the last topic about this it was mentioned and i was wondering if it was still available, something about a guy with a long pole.
Posted by: Pickysaurus 22 Jun 2009, 0:48
Would be cool if he had loads of health and a spear... and only attacked like the Chinese bayonets
Posted by: wew1994 22 Jun 2009, 22:25
That would be awesome indeed
I know nothing about a guy with a long pole
