ziemlich cooler mod ... bringt viele veränderungen.. und ist easy zu installieren und deinstallieren da es nur 1 *.big datei ist
Installation:
Put the file in the Zero Hour main directory.
Un-installation:
Delete the file from the main directory.
This mod rebalances the game quite significantly, in an attempt to make it a bit less stupid in some areas. i.e. Col. Burton being more powerful than a Paladin Tank, which I noticed in single player at one point.
Build limits have been installed on Auroras and F-117 Bombers, which are very powerful.
The USA is orientated around the best air units, powerful super weapons and versatile ground units. They are expensive to run and have more restrictive build trees. The other teams will progress with upgrades and especially super weapons quicker, depending on how the player runs their army.
China is orientated around having a balanced side in all areas.
The GLA is designed to have pretty basic units mostly, but tough structures and armor with cheaper units and buildings.
Currently the AI does not use new units.

Submarines have not been added since I cannot get them to dive/surface. This needs a way of changing the locomotor at will, not just one way. I have tried this many times. If someone has this working please get in touch.
Challenge Mode Particle Cannons Fixed.
Tooltips added for new EA V1.01 maps.
I have made the laser defense turret an infantry/air only weapon. Thus the laser general has been given standard patriots to augment this change.
The F-35 uses the king raptor model until I can get a proper one. If you'd like to give me a good one, I'd be more than happy to use it.
Added large starting amounts in skirmish. (Testing Purposes)
Standard teams have some units from their generals. I believe it’s stupid that the standard teams, (Which are the teams as a whole) do not benefit from individual general advances. While each general has not been entirely stripped, which would make generals a useless feature, the more useful units and some upgrades have been copied. Each general still chooses to specialize though. The GLA, by its cell nature, is exempt from this. The GLA does not have a lot of general specific units, only abilities.
T-72 Can Disarm Minefields.
The Napalm Bomb can be queued up behind the other Helix upgrades, but not with the upgrades behind the Napalm Bomb.
The Shell Map now shows some new units in a military airfield, and some challenge mode maps have been changed to give you more money.
It is now possible for China to hack Black Markets.
The Specter gunship model was stupid looking. It has been replaced with a C130 "Spooky" Specter Gunship, which is not perfect. It is obviously slower and so can get taken out easier.
The Boss general has been enabled in skirmish and challenge mode. In challenge mode the Boss plays her own unique campaign. The AI cannot control this team in skirmish, so it is player side only. If someone can make an AI script for this team, even if it’s the default Boss team, that would be very useful.
The old .CSF editor I used corrupted some entries. Please let me know if you find any.
The Base Defense Scud Launcher permanently clamps down when it attacks. This is an initial attempt to stop artillery units moving about all the time when defending. The hope is to have a selectable hold, or maneuver.
The Boss general has a few new things, and some refinements.
The GLA should not have an air force. The story here then is they salvaged some AH-6 choppers (Severe build limit). Suicide planes are an obvious addition though.
The Skynet Center, once upgraded, is very powerful. As soon as one of these structures is built by an enemy player, it is essential it is destroyed. It can hack other faction’s special powers, like China’s carpet bomb, or the GLA’s Anthrax bomb. It can also generate money, hack Radar and GPS systems to give stealth to ground units, and bankrupt other players.
