You might have heard of this mod earlier on before I "left." It was just a small little project to pass the time, and to give people something to play for Mod Night. Well, nothing's changed. It's just that I'm adding another race and calling it a release. ^_^

Anyway, the story:

Some guys that call themselves The Jovian Order are trying to take over the world, and unite it under a communist government. After nuking the living fuck out of nearly everything, a few nations that survived the apocalypse united and called themselves the "Imperium of Surviving Nations." These guys don't have very much creativity for making names, and not much of a like for commies either.
<<
>>
So since the Jovian Order practically owns most of the world, or, what's left of it, they get all this high tech stuff, including bright neon lights, RustOleum for keeping the rust off of their buildings, and shields. However, since the ISN has to scrape what they can out of the landfills and rubble, they don't have as many cool things. They have rust all over their stuff, and and some rather old, obsolete units. Their weaponry is somewhat on par though, with their big fucking gauss cannons and pew-pew lasers.

Anyway, enough pointless crap. It's a mod where you kill stuff. 'nuff said.

The races are rather small, only having 9 buildings each, and roughly 10 units, more or less, pending on how much time I want to take on this.

Jovian Order:


Imperium of Surviving Nations: (unfinished, have about 4-5 more units to make)

I'm glad a few of my building GRPs could be of use. :)

your plane has nuck lunchers on it



Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

A few? 90% of all the buildings in the mod were made by you. :P

Well like I said, glad to see they get used. I usually just have them sit around and do nothing or go into a mod I never finish.

CU, and OI were fun mods, so this is probably well worth the download as well. Never got to try much of your little Nazi mod tho.

What's that unit in the first picture with the blue glow? Looks like a building of sorts. Nice graphic. :) That alone looks worthy of a download/peek.



None.

Hello

Looks nice, but on the 2nd screenshot the big machine shop... doesn't really fit in my opinion :crazy:

It's the building animation for the teleportal, which basically builds infantry units.

I kind of agree, but I can't find a better refinery graphic that'll match the ISN's theme.

I'm just a fish

It seems the Modding-Vacuum has sucked you back in too, Polly :bleh:

Since you made it, I'll have to try it out ^^



None.

The GRP is mine, the glow is Pols. I actually used that thing as an addon. But the teleporter is a nice concept for it, never thought of it that way.

I'll fix that. :P
Edit:
New refinery delivered.

Maybe I should write a balance guide for you guys after all.

Balancing is easy. You guys are just n00bs. :P

Polaris, you need to fix strings. The little science vessel is still High Templar, and a lot of units have a Dual Chaingun weapon for some reason. :P

Hello

I like the modified goliath

A little update: I've been working out the balance a bit to the point of where it's somewhat playable. I've also redone that crappy Striker on the Jovian race:


Now it's basically a spider tank from MOH. ^^

Hello

the new unit is blocky, especially the most right standing unit, the two tank-subunit-cabbobs are too far away from each other

Here's some ingame action takes from some balance tests:











I also rescaled the Striker's turret to where it doesn't look like it's going to tip over.
