Tiberium Essence and Community News
Development of 1.5 continue towards finish, despite all delays and lack of news. Lots of work has been done since last update yet there is still some things left that I want to add, but overall Tiberium Essence is getting in to shape I always want it to be. Today I present new models of Nod Harvester, Nod commando, Nod secret shrine, Gdi AA battery, rebuild Gholiath apc, Falcon and Hover mlrs with possible new name (if you like it) - Tempest Mlrs. Mutants where not left behind this time so I present Mutant Mastodont Tank. This unit is based on mammoth prototype from Tiberium down. How cheap it might sounds there is strong logic behind it. Remember tiberian sun? Mutants use prototype mammoth from time to time as heavy support. Also, I believe that original mammoth belongs in to tiberium essence, and because I also like new gdi mammoth 27, I will not replace it, so mutants is the only faction that can have old mammoth. Now why I call it mastodont. Several reasons. It's not quite the same unit anymore, it lacks missile racks, instead of that mastodonts large turret also serves as bunker and can contain infantry so its much more like generals overlord with bunker upgrade. Prototype mammoth is now precursor of current mammoth series - mammoth 27 and mammoth mark II. Mutant version is different yet still share some features therefore mastodont is quite appropriate name. I have also modified mutant hovel to support large vehicles, its still work in progress, but you can take a look.
Also, Im trying to fulfill some requests. Today I show you my test on crates. Crates now have different models for each type - heal crate, money crate, unit crate and veterancy crate. If you like surprises in multiplayer I can do it so that this feature will work only in single player, but I personally prefer this feature in multiplayer too, its like powerups now and makes game more smooth if I can say so.
As usual you find pictures in image section.
Vlado32 was also busy and made new track - Fields of Green. Creepy, desperate and awesome
