SWR Productions Forum _ Rise of the Reds _ Are you guys dead or are you still going
Posted by: OmegaUnseen 1 Jan 2012, 0:47
hello, i was just wondering if this mod was continuing or has gone out of flavor, there hasn't been any updates for a year, hope to hear from you guys soon, thanks
Posted by: Jester 1 Jan 2012, 1:44
The mod is still chugging along as alot of the mods on here will tell you updates have just not materialised but hang in there apparently theres something big just around the corner 
Posted by: claine 1 Jan 2012, 5:22
yeah.. dude! more than adequate as comr4d post and the_hunter say soon.. just keep your butt close day & night
Posted by: MARS 1 Jan 2012, 12:53
First time I log in this year and this is what I get.
Gotta be honest here, this whole 'are you dead?'-thing is starting to strain my politeness a little.
So, are we dead? http://forums.swr-productions.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=120&view=findpost&p=35452 http://forums.swr-productions.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=120&view=findpost&p=35512 http://forums.swr-productions.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=120&view=findpost&p=35535 http://forums.swr-productions.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=120&view=findpost&p=35560 http://forums.swr-productions.com/index.php?showtopic=2611

A little screenshot of a little something I'm working on at the moment. Taken just a few minutes ago, no biggie
So yea we are not.
Posted by: MARS 1 Jan 2012, 15:07
Nice WIP shot. It's sufficiently cryptic but at the same time does contain a few hints.
Posted by: claine 1 Jan 2012, 15:18
Oh.. yeahh.. 
let me guess Command Center? 
Posted by: Comr4de 1 Jan 2012, 15:19
let me guess Command Center? 
NOPE.
Whisper: The Command Center is not even remotely going to look like this.
Posted by: claine 1 Jan 2012, 15:28
NOPE.

Ahh..
wait its that Airfield General, hit me this time:)
Posted by: Comr4de 1 Jan 2012, 15:32
You know I can't answer that
So please don't go fishing for it.
Posted by: claine 1 Jan 2012, 15:38
So please don't go fishing for it.
come on its Airfield right?
Posted by: The_Hunter 1 Jan 2012, 15:40
no 
Posted by: Massey 1 Jan 2012, 18:07
Oh yea thats the good stuff.... I got my fix. 
1. Buildings that are higher then first floor
2. Gates and doors
3. Barb wire fence
4. Trololololololo
What I can tell... it is a building that will build units. Part from that i have no idea what esle it could be.
On that note: If it is a buidling to build units then me thinking that the ECA will have a few buildings to fill out their army instead of the 1 barracks and 1 warfactory. BUT THAT A GUESS, no real facts behide it.
Oh, I would ask only one thing. PLZ PLZ GET RID OF THE "88". We all know what that means to half of Europe. (and so not cool)
P.S
I love those messages... "I wonder what this is" and "trollololololo"
Massey
Edit: I also notice that the building has the ECA units colour sceme and not the old build sceme. Are units and building going to the the same sceme?
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 1 Jan 2012, 18:37
My wild guess - if it ain't no airfield then it's a superweapon or builds some kinda superweapon unit.
Posted by: Jester 1 Jan 2012, 19:14
Ooooooo something is looking good! 
Posted by: SorataZ 1 Jan 2012, 19:32
At first I didn't even look quite right at Comr4de's picture but from Massey's obviously quickly-made sketch it turns out to look like a Hanger and since it's the second tech building, I can imagine what it produces.
Posted by: Pickysaurus 2 Jan 2012, 1:39
Yeah it's got to be the Tier 2 tech building, based on what Hunter told me in the questions thread. Maybe the top area is a Goshawk landing pad... but then again not all ECA are getting it IIRC, so maybe not.
Posted by: Evan 2 Jan 2012, 2:30
Lol I bet this produces the Jadg.

That 88, it now says M86. Nothing was meant by it and well I didn't think that's what it had meant
(I'm MEXICAN/American you see so how would I know that:P?)Anywho; The scheme is still somewhat the same, you'll just have to wait and see
Posted by: Kurorahk 2 Jan 2012, 23:16
Well that single WIP shot is enough for me for the next year at least. That excites me to no end to see that. Though wish it had been you guys posting it to tease, not to relieve pressure to show life. Still a wonderful suprise sneak peak.
Keep up the good work, the best things in life are worth waiting for!
Posted by: Dimension 52 4 Jan 2012, 7:13
Oh sweet baby Jesus, even a single WIP shot like that is so good to see.
I swear I'd do anything to see this awesomeosity released sooner, if you guys need help with anything...
Ooh I know, I will make drawings of food to motivate you, every media update gets a muffin!

So yea we are not.
Yes yes many people are asking if this mod is dead or saying that this mod is dead and that we should thank them for making such a good mod. Seriously just wait. Many mods out there took a lot longer than this before they finally released something.
P.S.
Are you gonna upload that on Moddb? If you do, I'll just watch all the reactions
Posted by: Comr4de 4 Jan 2012, 12:46
You could just link it up, dont want to make it official : P
What is official however is the fact that we are working on this once more.
Posted by: Raven 4 Jan 2012, 13:20
wooooooooooot....an update....i think this might be the war fac if not for the antenna thing at the back.
Posted by: Zeke 4 Jan 2012, 19:24
Slightly unrelated question. Does that pic mean that the sdk works on max 2010 or are you just using it to model/skin?
Posted by: Comr4de 5 Jan 2012, 8:23
Using it to model and skin, The_Hunter uses 3ds MAX 7
Posted by: ed3891 7 Jan 2012, 4:57
I have to say this: thank you for being gracious enough to screen cap a WIP as proof that the team is, in fact, still proceeding with work on the mod.
Posted by: Shasokais 8 Jan 2012, 5:04
Nice mod dudes, nice mod... and nice to see u still working on this too.
Just try to finish it before December 21... just in case, hehehe XD
Posted by: Comr4de 13 Jan 2012, 13:42
Why not.
WHAT AM I UP TO I WONDER. Further proof gents in case those kiddos that said one wasn't justified. Truth be told - I'M PLOWING THROUGH MODELS.

It's just fun teasing is all
For the record its not. But it does show you the style of the new designed ECA structures
Posted by: MARS 13 Jan 2012, 14:07
Aw, come on, Comr4de, now you're just being cruel.
...
Carry on.
Posted by: Vidar 13 Jan 2012, 14:10
Seriously guys, we cant show that much AWESOME in one hit, need to give small doses...or else there will be people shitting bricks! So carefully now...

nice work we are love to play ECA soon thanks for this SWR Team stand still the best..

BTW what was the song on Winamp?
Posted by: Comr4de 13 Jan 2012, 15:55
Red Alert 2 - Burn.
Was feeling nostalgic
(I just got finished with this building, ONTO THE NEXT)
Posted by: Vidar 13 Jan 2012, 16:11
Just listened to the ECA soundtrack while you did finish it.
Posted by: Massey 13 Jan 2012, 22:43
I need a change of pants now...
My guess would be the Com centre or one of the tect buildings....
maybe a Super
Jokes asides I need more >< to tell. Massey
Posted by: dangerman1337 13 Jan 2012, 22:58
I've got a feeling that building is a tier advancement building of sorts.
Posted by: The_Hunter 13 Jan 2012, 23:18
It's funny how everyone guesses but nobody guesses it right.
Posted by: Jester 13 Jan 2012, 23:32

Posted by: Claine 14 Jan 2012, 1:08
how bout you hunter hope you doing okey
i know you have something awesome stuff for US, good to hear for all of you SWR_team
more power and god bless you all,,
Posted by: Massey 14 Jan 2012, 3:18
Ok i think if the players puts they mind together we can get this (if theres eough information in the pic)
What can we see?
- Tank stopers (i dont know the real names [tanktraps i think])
- fual drum
- a crete
- missles boxes
- sandbags
- a hardern building (with a fake door). Also it has slanted parts to it. maybe a search light too.
- Writtien: "ECA SR64"
put this altogether and u get?
Massey
Posted by: GuardianTempest 14 Jan 2012, 4:07
Ammo Depository! Allows something for more firepower! /blind
Posted by: Jester 14 Jan 2012, 10:40
Tbf the the pile of missiles has me wondering if it is the ECA airfield those missiles don't look like the sort to be fired from ground vehicles. Remember US airfield has a stack of missiles.
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 14 Jan 2012, 13:23
It still looks like a war factory to me. :/
Oh w/e. I am loving this thread. Hope the goodies will keep rolling.
Posted by: Decim8tor 14 Jan 2012, 22:17
Its the ECA Command Center of course.
So, can I haz my cookie nao?
Posted by: The_Hunter 14 Jan 2012, 22:24
still not right.
Posted by: Massey 14 Jan 2012, 23:05
is it a new skin for a old building?
Also would i be right to say the pic has been taken from the rawr end of the building?
Massey
Posted by: The_Hunter 14 Jan 2012, 23:13
Also would i be right to say the pic has been taken from the rawr end of the building?
MasseyBoth: nein
Posted by: Pickysaurus 14 Jan 2012, 23:53
Judging by the bollards, I'd say that door doesn't open. So my guess is the ECA supply centre.
Posted by: Massey 15 Jan 2012, 0:13
Given the fuel drum and missles I still say its a building that makes vehicles, i just dont know if its a hardern helipad or maybe a second building that makes vehicles that is not a warfactory.
Part from that, I would have to say i dont know and rage quit >< Massey
Posted by: Pickysaurus 15 Jan 2012, 1:58

The fortress for the Royal Guard?
Posted by: Sgt. Mjr. Jazzie Spurs Kid 15 Jan 2012, 8:49
That's an ECA defensive building; Somekind of hardened bunker or firebase for Mechanized Assault General
Posted by: Comr4de 15 Jan 2012, 9:02
WELL LOOK WHO SHOWED UP AND NO IT ISNT HAHA.
May call this the Sneaky WIP thread or something. KINDA EXCITING ISNT IT?

Nah, just name it "Post one WIP Render; Kill a fan with suspense thread"
Posted by: Massey 15 Jan 2012, 10:17
any chance of a second pic of the building? Massey
Posted by: Comr4de 15 Jan 2012, 10:28
^ Probably not, maybe of the new one I'm working on today.
Posted by: Claine 15 Jan 2012, 11:08
mhmm.. sound like awesome! SWR_team is best in terms of modding & creativity, they have good idea and unique style. 
Posted by: Jester 15 Jan 2012, 12:31
maybe ECA radar relay system the superweapons operating structure?
Posted by: Comr4de 15 Jan 2012, 12:33
I love this guessing game.
Posted by: Claine 15 Jan 2012, 12:35
we love too every one is waiting if you are ready
Posted by: Massey 15 Jan 2012, 13:00
This might be hard for someone with all the information about the building to answer. (inside POV)
Does the pic have eough information to tell us (out side POV) to guess correctly? Massey
Posted by: Dimension 52 19 Jan 2012, 7:31
It looks like it could maybe be a command center 
Posted by: Comr4de 19 Jan 2012, 8:11
Nope. Have to work on that next... maybe
I'll post the next WIP shot soon.
Posted by: Raven 19 Jan 2012, 8:20
Time to bring out the wild gueses . It could be some sort of an ammo supply depot or a repair depot.
Posted by: Dimension 52 19 Jan 2012, 8:34
Agh what else could it be D: a supply depot? For resource collectors etc?
Posted by: Claine 19 Jan 2012, 8:51
looks like something happening here I'm just here ready as always for guesting game 
Posted by: Dimension 52 19 Jan 2012, 8:53
Okey people... It works like eye spy, you just have to guess all the wrong answers until your left with the right one
Posted by: Claine 19 Jan 2012, 8:58
Still War factory
my guess will never miss
Posted by: Dimension 52 19 Jan 2012, 9:04
my guess will never miss
Nein!
It's a.. battle factory.
Posted by: SorataZ 19 Jan 2012, 9:13
It's not a War Factory, that would be silly. What kind of factory produces wars?
Posted by: Claine 19 Jan 2012, 9:27
if thats not a war fac.. i guess its something like Strategy Center 
........bet?
Posted by: Massey 19 Jan 2012, 12:18
Outpost.
Com relay.
Radar.
power plant! \ local power plant/relay!
TOMB OF A UNKNOWN FIGHTER! Massey
Posted by: Jester 19 Jan 2012, 13:54
maybe its a factory that brings an end to the conflict by producing ice cream and lets face all generals love ice cream
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 19 Jan 2012, 16:01
But they love having their ice-cream while enjoying a good show of boom, shoosh and drrrrrrr. And Chinese and Russian like ice-cream that has a label saying "made in Europe".
Posted by: MR.Kim 19 Jan 2012, 19:50

Looks like Supply Center or some reaserch center. Well maybe both are not
Posted by: IPS 19 Jan 2012, 20:16
Ok even I don't know which of the many buildings this is... damn you Comr4de! ><
Posted by: Jester 19 Jan 2012, 21:00
This building produces T rex's comr4de said this building would produce awesome so i cant see whats more awesome than a T rex that shoots lasers from its eyes!
Posted by: SorataZ 19 Jan 2012, 21:16
Obviously a Mecha T-Rex that shoots lasers from its eyes.
Posted by: Pickysaurus 19 Jan 2012, 22:51
Is this a common theme? As I was thinking the exact same thing
Posted by: Jester 20 Jan 2012, 8:12
And shits ice cream. This would be quite funny in the future if this idea goes into the final version as an easter egg on a skirmish map General our base is being attack by mecha T Rex's

Comr4de... Comr4de... Comr4de... sometimes i want to slap u... in a good way.
Nuclear... Hmmmmmmm. A touch of China back story there maybe Massey
Edit: Can we possible get a in game shot to see the bar wire? Massey
Posted by: Comr4de 22 Jan 2012, 10:17
Nope
Posted by: Pickysaurus 22 Jan 2012, 11:11
Power plant? Or some kind of weapon bunker?
Posted by: Darkfire Angel 22 Jan 2012, 11:46
Super Weapon? I'm going to stick with Super Weapon
Posted by: Jester 22 Jan 2012, 11:54
ECA buildings look sexy blue and yellow go well
Posted by: Assassin0066 22 Jan 2012, 11:58
It is looking amazing!! I think its a super weapon of some kind too.
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 22 Jan 2012, 13:42
It looks too big and fancy for an average power plant. Some kinda tier advancement structure maybe? Hopefully it's no superweapon, would hate to see China and ECA sharing the same kinda superweapon.
Just remembered, I once heard that lorewiese - neither ECA or Russia would use their nuke arsenals in the war to avoid MAD.
Posted by: Jester 22 Jan 2012, 14:38
Just remembered, I once heard that lorewiese - neither ECA or Russia would use their nuke arsenals in the war to avoid MAD.
ECA and Chinas weapon the same? Last I saw ECA had a giant laser that was shot from a satellite in space and it's been said that the structure for the ECA super weapon will just be a building that has to be built to obtain the power to activate and fire the laser. Russia will have nukes in the form of the Topol M ICBM
Posted by: Claine 23 Jan 2012, 0:52
this is great! its getting closer keep up the good works SWR_team and thanks for doing this for us
BTW.. i think OmegaUnseen had enough that this mod still going on
Posted by: CobraHumvee 23 Jan 2012, 1:08
hey no fair teasing us, good to see the mod is still going forward havent checked in like 6 months
Posted by: Massey 23 Jan 2012, 6:45
What can we see...
-Nuclear sign
-Some crane looking thing (like at a dock)... I think
- Vents
- its harden
- fuel drum
- (im thinking) there a solo or a radar tower
- A sign that Comr4de is hiding (interesting)
Guessing:
- Im thinking that the Yello part above the door is a light.
- Im also guessing that the yello bans around that solo will stick to it instead of hovering
- I can not tell but that bit in the middle looks a little like a door to the roof.
put that all together and u get!?!!?!?!?! Massey
Posted by: Raven 23 Jan 2012, 16:35
damn u Comrade!!!! if not for the radiation sign i'd say this is the Jagdmammoth factory. Perhaps this is a unique secondary economy structure of ECA generated by collecting nuclear waste
Posted by: Deaths-Apprentice 23 Jan 2012, 22:59
I'm inclined to believe it's some sort of airfield or communications/radar type facility, but I don't really have any idea. Whatever it is I'm sure the wait will be worth it.
Posted by: MARS 24 Jan 2012, 7:32
This last structure is definitely worth the wait as it's part of a neat little design feature that is entirely unique to the ECA.
Posted by: Massey 25 Jan 2012, 1:59
Me thinks... or im guessing, given mars said that and the pic looks to have a Crane in the back ground it might be a "heavry" warfactory. It would give the ECA the "unique"-ness. Given the ECA would be the only faction to have a light and heavy warfactory. But then again wild guessing is just that.
Massey
Posted by: Dimension 52 25 Jan 2012, 7:00
Ooh I know, a fortress/outpost like in age of empires. It might repair vehicles with the crane, and produce some units?
Posted by: Massey 25 Jan 2012, 9:49
No wait! maybe the crane is used in seconed money resource... maybe a truck of <insert item> comes in from... i dont know. Maybe another building and U got a second or late income...
This would give u two hardern buildings for a second income, instead of easy to kill trucks or hackers. Its would play well with the Defence or Protect nature of the ECA. The only problem I see with that idea is the fact that you could have a limited build zone (on some maps) and this would limited ur income.
OH bugger it, i starting to think we never now... or any time SOON <---rofl Massey
Posted by: MARS 25 Jan 2012, 11:08
It might be worth mentioning that the WIP shots Comr4de posted aren't all from the same building. These are actually from three different structures.
Posted by: GDIZOCOM 25 Jan 2012, 11:30
If all those shots came from 1 building that would be huge

MasseyTwo economic buildings and a trade vehicle running between them producing cash? Like the markets and trading carts in Age of Empires/Mythology or Rise of Nations? Dunno if General's playstyle goes with that kinda gameplay but it would sure be unique, I guess.
As for the third building - I still say it's a tier advancement building. Got no clue about it's secondary function.
Posted by: Comr4de 26 Jan 2012, 9:18
^
Nope
SNEAKY EDIT:
Posted by: Claine 26 Jan 2012, 12:49
uuhhyeah looks like ECA online now great..
awesome! 
Posted by: Jester 26 Jan 2012, 13:02
That looks like the relay station to gain the ECAs super weapon? Even if i was right you still wouldnt tell us
Posted by: Comr4de 26 Jan 2012, 13:15
Actually no it isn't still
The Solaris Targeting Relay has a unique look to it
Posted by: Jester 26 Jan 2012, 13:16
Oooh solaris funky name
Posted by: Claine 26 Jan 2012, 13:32
how come? i think is a Strategy Center
Posted by: Massey 26 Jan 2012, 13:35
The Solaris Targeting Relay has a unique look to it
Then it has to be the Radar system for the ECA... might look a little USAish (IMO) but i guess its a westen theme threw out now gone NATO.
>.> (House colors to be UVmapped)
I think a tank upgrade building...
A tank drives in and gets its old weapons replaced by the crane with new ones...
Posted by: Jester 26 Jan 2012, 13:36
Because the ECAs weapon is not land based weapon like Russias,Chinas,USA,GLA Solaris is a Giant laser in space and to activate it you need the solaris relay station. But as comr4de said this is a different building.
Posted by: Massey 26 Jan 2012, 16:53
my i ask how many buildings going to be in the V-ECA?
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 26 Jan 2012, 19:01
^And if we may know - how many defensive structures can we expect for V-ECA? Can we expect about five or more?
Posted by: SorataZ 26 Jan 2012, 19:19
I think it was said elsewhere that the Defense General has 5 and the others have 2 or 3.
Posted by: Overdose 26 Jan 2012, 21:20
I'm doing good thanks for asking.

Posted by: SorataZ 27 Jan 2012, 7:55
Now we know where EA got the inspiratin for the Alpha Generals USA structures from. This looks exactly like the Command Center tower.
As for the recent building shots - Tech Structure 2?
Posted by: Massey 27 Jan 2012, 9:43
Nope
SNEAKY EDIT:
look, read and thinking is what i have been doing and i have come to this concution...
ECA are a turtle faction right so ur main goal early game is to build defence defence defence. So Radar at this point of time is not useful. so im thinking for the ECA the late game tect building is also going to have the radar on. I say this becuase it not until u have the late tect (for a turtle faction) that u need radar... So my guess is a Radar/tect building.

Well that defenently looks like a structure that does something within the ECA tech tree . On a more serious note, interesting how even in this screwed up angle pics, you can see the modular design of the ECA architecture. Will be very interesting to see this faction once it will have a more ... friendly picture show.

I got a Q: Does the out lines of the camo-net change colour with the factions colour choose?

Well, it's more like complex. That tower-thingy, and the guard tower, they're overlooking something in the center of the complex. Maybe a large field gun, or mini-Scud Storm.

U just cracked me up.
In that case given the sand bags then another ECA building. Given the watch tower.... something that needs to be watch.

Since everyone is playing I'll join in - that's probably part of a GLA structure. I don't remember you know what completely, but from what I recall a good bunch of them included tower like structures. Not to mention the quality of the tower and sandbags also scream GLA. Probably ain't no airpad as GLA won't have any airpad.

Okay then. Starting with the age old fan fave question - anyone wants to guess ECA's secondary income source/method?
A quick reminder - over the last few months we've had a few... creative theories on this topic from the fans. Some of my faves -
1. TV reporter - A reporter unit would be available and ECA would gain cash whenever an enemy unit is killed near the reporter. This theory probably came from another mod with an Euro faction.
2. Trade Caravan - A vehicle would go back and forth between two certain ECA structures and produce cash after each trip.
3. Recycle - Some kinda "recycler" unit would be available ECA will gain cash by recycling battlefield leftovers ranging from vehicle wreck to nuke puddles.
Anyone has another theory? Anyone wants to agree any of three three theories?

Most definitely the salvage/recycler unit, I like the idea of getting money from dead vehicle hulks. Is it possible to have the unit make cash from sitting in Rad/Bio waste? That would be even cooler!
Posted by: Massey 29 Mar 2012, 1:36
would be funny to see units looking forward to being hit by a Nuke Cannon or MARV missles
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 29 Mar 2012, 5:30
The problem is they've already confirmed that the secondary income source is gonna be a building.
But technically the GLA can already gain money from dead vehicle husks by picking up dropped salvage crates using fully upgraded vehicles or units that don't gain salvage upgrades. They also have the cash bounty (or w/e it's called) gen power.
Posted by: SorataZ 29 Mar 2012, 7:32

Posted by: SpiralSpectre 30 Mar 2012, 12:45
One thing can be said without a doubt - you guys are really, really brave.
Posted by: SorataZ 30 Mar 2012, 13:23
Brave?
Posted by: MARS 30 Mar 2012, 13:24
Wasn't really the adjective I was expecting either, but I'll take it as a compliment, so thank you good sire.
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 30 Mar 2012, 14:46
It was completely meant to be a compliment.
Yeah, "brave". "Confident" might have been slightly better but "brave" has the better impact. Why not both? You guys are both really brave and confident. I'll keep the explanation as short as possible.
Firstly for obvious reasons - you guys are doing a mod of such grand scale. It's based on an almost decade old game that recently even got it's sequel announced. I am practically illiterate about game engines and stuff but I have never heard anyone say anything nice about the SAGE engine so it's obvious what you ain't working with a less than pleasant engine. It takes courage and confidence to continue something like this.
Then comes the comparison. You guys just did an excellent job with ShW so w/e you do here will get compared to hell whether you like it or not. Utterly silly questions will also continue. For example - lemme assure you of something obvious - after 2.0 is released you guys will get questions like "how come "x" and "y" factions have the same MBT?" like a dozen times a week. It takes courage to continue this.
Then comes all the compromises you had to make regarding original ZH features. Many contents went to the shredder and many are destined to go there. Inevitably some won't like the disappearance of many laser weaponry, neutron weapons and so on. Then will come how you'll divide the current units among the general and the possibility of it having a negative effect on gameplay. I'll admit, I myself have slight doubts how you'll pull that off while keeping all the factions fun. Anyway it takes courage to make such decisions.
Then comes another obvious point - the bubble of expectation. With time the bubble naturally keeps growing bigger. For example, I am certain a good bunch on ModDB still believes you guys have made a HUGE RotR version of that weird drill tank from Metal Gear Solid. Anyway expectation is rising everyday and it takes courage to believe you can live upto the hype and expectation. Specially expectation (and hype) concerning the ECA is spiking as always. You guys don't seem to find this expectation intimidating at all, as a matter of fact you don't mind spurring them on with teasers every once in a while. Plus you guys are a bit secretive. The more the people speculate, the quicker the bubble grows.
And how you guys keep your RL going as well at your age is beyond me but all I know about that topic is strictly based on what I've heard from you guys. So I can't give any kinda opinion on that. But it definitely takes courage and confidence.
And just to clear something - I ain't buttering you guys. It's totally my honest opinion, I am just this much amazed if not more.
Posted by: TheSpudd 30 Mar 2012, 21:13
^ This I agree with....
Posted by: IPS 30 Mar 2012, 23:26
Well, I can only speek for myself, but the expectations of the fans motivate me (right after the team itself). ; )
I guess I kinda like the challenge..^^
Posted by: Massey 1 Apr 2012, 4:09
I was going to ask this in a QnA thread but cant ='(
any way, Given that RotR have been in development for a bit of time i got a Q for the moddelers... Do you guys stick to the "first and only" type of plans for ur moddels or do you guys look at RL new visions of tanks planes and the like and go...Mmmm "lets add that bit to our moddels"?
I know this might be had to anwser becuase RotR is a stylise game and new equitment is always coming out in RL with in the development of the Mod. So do u make little changes to moddels based on upcoming or new stuff?
I am wording this very badly but i hope you understand what im trying to ask the RotR team.
If not just slap me and move on... Massey
Posted by: MARS 1 Apr 2012, 6:24
I'd say our development has pretty much come to a point where we no longer base stuff directly off a RL equivalent but design our own concepts instead.
Much of the ECA, for example, will be based on concept art from Rise of Europe, as well as other genuine 'in-house' designs from Ash and IPS.
By the way, the reason The_Hunter locked the Questions Thread was mainly due to the clearly observable fact that it was 'absorbing' all the activity on this sub-forum. It was basically the only active thread next to this one right here. In future, we want people to make a new thread if they have valid questions, so the lock is also a bit of a deterrent to those 'Does X have Y?' kind of questions as well as the stuff that's literally asking for the most minute numerical differences between units that will not be added for the next two or three versions anyway.
Posted by: Comr4de 1 Apr 2012, 6:33
Much of the ECA, for example, will be based on concept art from Rise of Europe, as well as other genuine 'in-house' designs from Ash and IPS.
As well as other individuals
To add to that most of our designs are indeed based off of real life designs or fictional designs dependent on how we see fit. Mostly out of it's function over form (with the idea behind that it will mildly add some unique silhouette to separate it from the rest)

Not sure if that had any affect on the implementation of the goshawk or not. I just pointed out how it would fit in a Europe-under-seige storyline, and how NATO did in fact have VTOL/STOL aricraft included as a major aspect of a possible cold war gone hot scenario.

Well given that the tect building has a Nuke symbol on it. I am will to make a guess and say the ECA will have a nuke upgrade for their tanks much like the Chinese do for their tanks But, most likely work in a diffrent way. RotR has always aimed to have eachside have their own tect. but again thats a guess.
Now, I know its not importent, but wwouldnt the driver of the "tank" be sitting to far back behide the tracks to see any thing?

Posted by: Jester 4 Apr 2012, 13:14
MANTICORE?!?!?! I DEMAND TO KNOW NOW!
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 4 Apr 2012, 14:35
I was also thinking it's the Manticore. But that feels almost too simple...
Anyway I ain't gonna bother with speculating that much, till the ECA updates actually start.
Posted by: MARS 4 Apr 2012, 14:44
This ain't no Manticore...It's actually more terrifying!
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 4 Apr 2012, 16:55
Knew it would be too simple if it were the Manticore. Maybe it's some kinda revised version of that original ECA Neutron Tank? Oh well, time will tell.
Pesky thought - we've seen some kinda strange Ruskie tank followed by something more terrifying than the Manticore... hopefully US and China won't lose this armour race by a mean margin. Oh well, this ain't the time for that kinda thought.

It's not a remake of anything including any old RoE assets, it's completely new. That's all I know.
Posted by: dangerman1337 4 Apr 2012, 18:12
I think it's a super-tank of sorts that uses the same kind of energy attack that the Solar Superweapon that the ECA will use (doesn't use mirrors to direct radiation against ground but uses the same radiation). Also I think you will have to decide what kind of 'super-unit' (not effective against everything but VERY darn powerful for what it does) you can have on the Battlefield on at a time or even only build that particular upgrade similar to Boris or use a general point.

Someone wanted a ECA WIP?
ECA's Overlord Tank(or Emperor Tank)?
Also, dosen't look like Manticore pretty much. Only I know "Manticore" like this: http://dow.wikia.com/wiki/Retribution/Manticore

The old rise of europe mod had a Manticore tank which was basicly an incarnation of the Mammoth tank.
Ours will be somewhat like that too but with a little more flavor and spices to make it taste better
This image however is not the maticore.
Also do note that "more terrifying!" does not mean more powerfull

I'm guessing super APC combined with some kind of artillery turret. But to looks too well armoured to be artillery.
Posted by: Comr4de 4 Apr 2012, 20:37
El O El , they think it's a tank

@Massey: I think the driver sits under that NATO symbol.

Lol just thinking, if the infantry were to scale with the vehicles..... this would be HUGE! 
Posted by: Generalcamo 4 Apr 2012, 22:20
Are you guys writing some new lore? Because I got some ideas that will probably benefit it.
Posted by: Comr4de 4 Apr 2012, 22:49
How can you write stuff on it when you don't know what it is
?We've got a whole background on this puppy, don't worry it'll show up down the road =)

Its a nuke mine layer!
Posted by: TheSpudd 5 Apr 2012, 2:57
ECA Dozer?
Posted by: Comr4de 5 Apr 2012, 2:58
I finished that just the other day (and it's variation OOOoooOO) , it isn't this vehicle
Posted by: SpiralSpectre 5 Apr 2012, 3:47
Then ECA is getting a flying builder variation alongside the usual dozer? Something like the Skycrane (or whatever it's called)?
Posted by: Massey 5 Apr 2012, 5:54
GLA get a radar van
Russia gets a "radar building"
USA get auto radar
China has to upgrade for their radar.
ECA get a Radar tank/truck/whatever it is....
My latest guess

GLA won't need radar van for radar coverage anymore. This should help,
From the 'Tunnel Rats' update:
Posted by: Mcbob 5 Apr 2012, 7:49
There was talk about how the loss of the command truck would be extra painful for the GLA this time around. The poor tier-2 upgrade... nooooooo!!!!!! ): /speculation
Posted by: Dimension 52 6 Apr 2012, 13:54
It looks like some sort of mobile fortress/land carrier
Posted by: SorataZ 6 Apr 2012, 19:56
It's obviously a Land Raider ECA style to go with the Forgotten-style Baneblade in CNC Alliances

Right, enough with those teasers. I'm calling it right the fuck now: The ECA gets a weaponised version of the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azEvfD4C6ow!
Posted by: Massey 7 Apr 2012, 12:16
That thing is HUGE! i would have to say one of the Two biggest units in the game (what u already release that info on) but thats a Guess.
Posted by: Mcbob 7 Apr 2012, 18:10
When Hitler couldn't have the P1000 Ratte, the ECA took up the mantle. jk
Posted by: dangerman1337 7 Apr 2012, 18:42
That's defintely a big-fuck off support/artillery unit judging by those deployed thingies at the bottom.
Posted by: Jester 7 Apr 2012, 19:02
Maybe it's one of those tank catapult things those crazy Germans have alot of?
EDIT: 
Posted by: Claine 9 Apr 2012, 9:20
OMG is that the manticore? did you finish it?
Posted by: Dimension 52 9 Apr 2012, 10:22
Mobile superweapon?
Posted by: MARS 9 Apr 2012, 11:51
It's neither the Manticore nor a mobile superweapon, although I wouldn't blame anyone for mistaking it for either of the two...
Posted by: IPS 9 Apr 2012, 12:12
It's not?
Posted by: Massey 9 Apr 2012, 13:02
Then my guess would be Goggomobil...
Posted by: Claine 9 Apr 2012, 13:20
its dozer
Posted by: SorataZ 9 Apr 2012, 16:44
Did anyone even read what MARS said above there?
Posted by: Claine 9 Apr 2012, 16:55
the only thing i understand about mars post above is "fuck" what else?
Posted by: dangerman1337 9 Apr 2012, 19:41
Is it different from the previous render that wasn't the manticore as well? Will they be in the ECA vanilla release after the GLA one or is it 2.0 exclusive?
Posted by: TheSpudd 9 Apr 2012, 20:49
Well definitely an intermap artillery weapon I'm thinking. if its chassis is the Bagger I wouldn't be surprised.
