So far, USA, Airforce, GLA, Demo, Stealth, and Cookie generals have enough content to be ready for the next release. But Laser, Superweapons, all China Factions, and GLA Toxin Generals have very little content in comparison. This is a thread to hopefully generate some ideas to get these factions back up to speed.

Lacking Factions:
============
USA Laser - Only has two new units, one I never made a news release for.

USA Superweapon - Only one new unit as well.

China - Only has a super unit.

China Infantry - Only two new units, and one new general's power. Almost ready, could use one more thing.

China Tank - Only has a superunit.

China Nuke - Has superunit and new hero unit.

GLA Toxin - Only has a infantry upgrade.
=============
I just need some ideas to help get some of these factions some good content. GLA Toxin General especially, as it only has a new upgrade, and that's it.

Feel free to make some threads about any ideas you have for these factions. You could also post quick ideas here if you want to.

A few ideers...

Gla toxin
-give their inf water guns, so they drown their enemies (eventually )
-Toxin tractor becomes a firetruck n just knocks enemies with water

Tank gen:
-Mobile tank factory
-Mig that fires tanks

[Destiny]

Laser:
Giant focusing lens mounted on a tank?
Unit with a HUGEASS laser and EXCESSIVE BLOOM but only stuns them?
Death Star

Superweapon:
Doomsday clock mounted on a tank/vehicle...ticks and explodes the enemy (Invisible projectile, set amount of damage) after a few seconds?

Infantry:
A giant Red Guard/Minigunner/Infantry? It'll look epic walking on enemy units Dunno, seems sorta cliche.

Tank:
A water TANK that shoots jets of water at things, pushing them backwards slowly...? (This was the origin of the tank's name, tank...you know )

Nuke:
Shines a spotlight with a Trefoil on a target, then some spawned/offmap/whatever you call it nuclear weapon flies in and wham?

Toxin:
Toxic donut launcher, upon impact the toxins spawned have many different colors?

Tank general: Flying tank. Quite literally a tank with wings attached to the side. Could be made old-school and designed in the stereotypical Chinese styling. Perhaps something like in this picture.

Laser general: Perhaps a kaleidoscope or a lense that gives that effect. Could also work with a very large magnifying glass (something tells me this was suggested before).

[RaiDK]

Laser gen should get Gi Joes. Seriously, EVERYTHING in GI Joe was a laser.

[Zeke]

Tank Gen
- Armor Crawler, giant troop crawler that comes with 8 battlemasters
- Emperor Helix, starts with prop tower and can get gatts

Laser Gen
- give lasers to EVERYTHING
- Laser'd laser attack, for laser MDs
- Laser Guided Lasers upgrade for Laser Aircraft
- magnifying glass upgrade, increases attack of laser weapons by 25%

Superweapon Gen
- FAB tomahawk

Nuke Gen
- Nuke storm

[Bang]

Superweapons General------ Thunderbirds & Captain Scarlet, those machines are very super


Laser General------ Giant Laser pointer with wheels (Call it the Laser pointer)

[TheDR]

Infantry General: A Gatling tank which fires stiff infantry as bullets. It can also get an upgrade to fire infantry with bayonets, which does more damage

Give them annoying soundclips from the show. That would make it perfect!

USA Laser
- an upgrade called blue-ray
- upgrade the current laser-magnifing-glass tank, for proper laser colour

More of a massive lazor from the Sky

Ideas definitely going in so far:

1. Flying Tank for Kwai.

2. Armor Crawler for Kwai.

One of my ideas is to use Liquid Nitrogen to freeze enemy units, probably as a special tank design for the Superweapons General.

Not sure about blue-ray and the Death Star though, because of copyrights.

new unit suggestion for Infantry General (maybe the super unit): Jackie Chan, or something like Kung Fu Master an untouchable melee infantry unit

Jackie Chan, is a definite "no". Not because Jackie Chan isn't cool (we all know he is), but because he falls into the "no-go ideas" category. I believe it's #5 that states: No real life people or movies, in whole or in part. Something to that effect. Anyway, the point is that an infantry unit like Jackie Chan won't be going in.

[n5p29]

okay, Jackie just an example. I just mean an infantry unit that very powerful, then Jackie come in my mind. Anyway it will be crazy if there's an infantry that can busted uber tanks.

W00t my Ideer got accepted

I'd also like to suggest calling the flying tank a BMIG, and make it replace Kwai's mig

A minor superweapon Idea:

A speaker tower rises from the ground (destroying whatever happens to be over it when it spawns) and plays the Faction's victory music (whatever faction it ends up assigned to. I had America in mind, but they seem to have enough). Everything within the range of the speaker is constantly damaged, and it can only be stopped by destroying the tower.

That seems overpowered but this did spark an idea for me- maybe a general power which makes a speaker tower pop up from the ground, healing your forces around it during a battle.

u mean just like contra had generals powers to build war factories and shit?

Stop comparing to Contra FFS..
This is Crazy Mod's forum, and you're discrediting all ideas by making them 'stolen' from Contra...
