Nice update, the Sentry drone now looks like Phalanx on tracks. The 'new' Nuke Cannon looks great as well (ok, I have seen it before). @Diary: I think it is really fun to see that both April 31 and 32 are actually non-existent. I and some others would like to see it changed to May 1st and 2nd respectivly. Also, some intel about the Convention would be helpful. Apparently the convention was something that went extremely bad for china according to what overdose says and it will be shown in the next part of website lore |

From the sounds of it the Budapest Convention led to a ban on the use of neutron weaponry.

I actually like very much the new models,astonishing the story
About the reutilization of TAO's nuke cannon.. I'm totally fine with that: Game-wisely the nuke cannon that passed to the new generation was the advanced prototype utilized by TAO, same thing to be applied to the ERA armor from Kwai that went to every chinese battlemaster by default. About the neutron technology that chinese can no longer utilize following the treaty of Budapest in 2026... Do you remember what they said in the original Zero Hour manuals about the neutron tech? the exact words: "long rumored to be in chinese arsenal". No one actually saw it in work, even in the campaign the only time you utilized the technology was during the assault to the chinese reactor perpetrated by GLA. And tell me, who cares about GLA losses done by a new,devastating, deviated technology? During the intervention in Europe they are forbidden to utilize nuke tech. I also remember that in the manual in Tao's attached Bio there was written something about a nuclear accident caused by him, maybe the very same accident that leaded to the Budapest Convention. (that would be really awesome,giving the feeling of linking ends) Maybe it's just speculation. It's just that I like Maddog TAO. And about the chinese strategy that doesn't care about humanitarian anti-neutron convention: They will have increasing problem with public opinion as every advanced country, and when their products will reach the same price of european/american product in european/american markets (increased cost of transport likely) what will drive the consumers towards a product?

nice update!
the sentry drone looks nice and it also makes sense, that the chinese would adopt Tao's experimental Nuke Cannon on a great scale..... @katmoda12: very nice speculation .... your thoughts do make sense. -------------------- let's cap some screens |

Sadly no Katmoda12. Generals takes place in 2020 and that incident with Tao happened earlier in his career was very distant from 2027 when the convention took place.

The original sentry drone had no such thing as a firing animation. If your reffering to the muzzle flame it had it still has that except that we used a different texture for the muzzle. And what about sounds? I expect this new gun to fire a lot faster. I misworded that when using animation, I meant the firing visuals along with the sound worked very well. -------------------- |

The dates on the diary are still wrong Also, AFAIK Generals takes place in 2013 to 2015, and Z:H takes place in 2020, and my favorite General according to the taunts is Dr. Trax:
"Damn, that was my whine cellar!" or "You destroyed my Command Center? Well, I didn't like my subordinates anyway." or "Fire that Nuke at us, it will only make us stronger!" aso. Last thing: what is a Golova? |

Well the Chinese would still be okay with the Nuke Cannon even if the Convention will forbid neutron weapons (including the upgrade for the landmines), 'cause they have more powerful nuke shells to make up for that. katmoda12's speculations gave me some nice info about the lore...

Me too for the Generals'/ZH's setting, as for the quotes: Dr. Thrax: "You smell something? Huh? Hahahaha!!" "You'll come for the toxins, but you'll stay...BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAD! Heeheehaha!" Gen. Granger: "*humming the Star-Spangled Banner*...the bombs bursting in air...hehehe...!" Gen. Tao: "You're going to like this, General...oh wait, no you won't! Hehehe..." -------------------- "Not in mood...go away..." "We are going to have to act, if we want to live in a different world." Bringing wrath to a forum near you since 2009! |

Actually if we see the generals/zero hour in SWR productions way they are: Generals Classic (2015)- Shockwave (2020) -Rise of the reds (2030) Rise of the reds it's almost a total conversion. While Shockwave it'a a huge addition that mantain all the feautre of Zero Hour. |
