Yep, i haven't forget my map, and though i "disappeared" for a month, I've still been working on it as much as possible. I'd say im about 10% done because I tend to forget things, and leave simple errors, but anyone sees any bugs, tell me.

Of course, since this is Mercenaries, there is the Merchant of Menace. Right now, most vehicles are orderable, and I'm still working on how to "call in" airstrikes.

Hmm sounds interesting. I liked Mercenaries, and your GTA maps. Can you get soldiers from your faction?

If it is a 1 player game use darkswarm to call in airstrikes...

like give them a defiler with enough energy for 1 darkswarm
and where they cast it triggers wraiths flying over the area and dropping bombs. That would be cool.

Well I like how the bunker missile looks lol. Such a small explosion only to have a big one destroy everything around it .

You could also try something with the idea for missiles in Metal Marines. I thought that was a nice idea.

You know that dark swarm bomb idea is exactly what i've been looking for! I've been trying to figure out how to make airstikes work.

Thanks TRiGGaMaSTa for helping this map maker out!

And yes, you can get Allied Soldiers in your vehicles, up to 5. So when you exit, the number of guys you picked up is still there!

Now, once I figure out the airstrikes, i'll start work on the Deck of 52. So you can start helping me think about that.

Uh, why not use nukes for the airstrikes? (To add on triggermaster's idea...) Lets suppose the human player uses dark swarm. A location is centerd on the dark swarm. The computer then nukes this area. The only problem I can see with this is what happens if the computer uses a darkswarm? Would the computer nuke this area as well?

Lol that would be awsome, computers nuking around too. But anyway in his map making assistance thread i had just posted the idea of nuking, then i came here and read what you just said.. How ironic we had the exact same idea . Im sure none of us saw each others post though. But mine is in triggers on how to make it work.

Actually, the mod changes Artanis so his attack is a nuclear strike! This is how it is for now, just having Artanis fly by, but I think I figured out how to make the nuke thing work right. And yes, the airstrikes are targeted with dark swarm
(kinda like smoke grenade, lol) but for now, the mod handles the bulk of the airstrikes. (Except for Gunship Support)


Gunship Support meaning that gunships fly in a decimate everything in the immediate area.

Comments?
