I found this idea in the Shockwave section, it was post by Shaka. I thought it would perfectly fit into the Crazy Mod!
The idea:
Surprise Crates like in RA series. You can get some money or repair crates when grabbing it.
Sometimes the crates would contain a nuke that would explode when grabbing it!

and MCV's? then u could become USA/CHINA in one game
edit: in the crates, or just a spawning command centre on the spot

Unbalanced.
Someone scouts and gets a money box or a post tech unit. Nope from me.

Meh, mine was better...
Anyway, why not?

I don't think crates are codeable for generals the way they used to be in RA2. Only money and healing crates (possibly veterancy). Still the idea of map reveal and nukes and free units is supposed to be quite buggy and could possibly screw up balance (no idea if Jordan even cares abt balance).

codes for those are allready in vZh , well for the free units, and the other 2 should be quite easy to make...

I guess the harder part is making the crates spawn randomly over the battlefield, and could be possibly ending up in per map scripts, which would be a lot of work

but if someone if prepared to do that, I fully support

I honestly have no idea how to implement crate logic without having tons of waypoints scattered across the map, for every single map, then complemented by tons of scripts. Also, since you can't just turn them off, it would have to be a separate mod of the mod, which gets a bit extreme.

So no, due to inability to code properly, unless someone knows something I don't.
