So the Rift now sucks things into the magic black hole? Razz

Finally!

So now the nuke has the awesome Generals nuke mushroom cloud replacing the epic failure of the C&C 3 mushroom cloud, and the Rift has proper vacuuming effects.

Hmm... Ion Cannon needs something. Maybe for the next update you can remove the initial converging beams and cut straight to the main blast. I've always hated the time delay caused by the converging small beams. I'd prefer one single blast with perhaps the beam lingering for a little longer for dramatic effect.

Update was already at Thundermods Razz

Anyway the translated names for the basic Nod infantry sound a little wierd, especially "Novice Squad" (a novice is a term usually associated with newcomers).

I think their Militant Rifle Squad and Militant Rocket Squad names are fine to begin with.

Also I think the Mutant Sentinel should replace one of the guys in the Marauder squad rather than being an entirely separate unit. Maybe to balance the fact that the squad will only have one Sentinel, its rocket damage can be increased.

BTW I'm getting a glowy effect at the base of Storm Columns when they attack. Dunno if its intentional but it also looks a little funny. Also, with regards to its attack, the lightning seems to originate from thin air. Perhaps some sort of light flash effect at the lightning bolt's origin would be better (something like the Devourer/Tripod's muzzle flash maybe?). The movement of the lightning bolt also seems too fluid (noticed it ever since C&C 3 came out). Perhaps speeding up the animation of the bolt will help?

Finally I feel the explosion at the target should also be a normal orange one rather than the black Scrin explosion (which IMO suits the Scrin plasma better)
