Alive!
After a big lull where nothing happened, Novus Ordo is back on track! While you may all think the mod has been inactive for God knows how long, it's been slowly crawling along. With the help of ackron the mighty for a load of voxels, it's getting closer and closer to a public release of some sort. Anyway, to progress.
The unit list has been finalised, and the majority of coding for them complete. Note that the list doesn't include harvesting units (tiberium/weed) and doesn't include the MCV either. You can find that here.
Next, the actual units. The first unit is the only fully completed unit (SHP, cameo, code, voices) so far: the Inquisitor.
The Order
She carries dual pistols and C4, which can kill infantry and vehicles/structures respectively.
Secondly the Screamer. This is the fastest unit in the game. Enough said. It can quickly gun down infantry and, in large groups, decimate anything else.
The Gargoyle. While it doesn't really live up to its name, it makes up with its bomb payload. It drops light bombs which may not seem to powerful. However, these bombs cause a mild EMP effect, temporarily disabling any vehicle and structure.
Finally for The Order, there is the Freeze Tank. Excitingly, it freezes the enemy units. Great thanks to ackron for helping with the particle, which came out rather well. This includes both a normal screenshot and an animated version to show the freeze cannon in effect.
Iron Fist
Now, the Siege Tank. A slow, floating artillery. It has pretty good armour, is rather slow and carries a large, powerful cannon to shoot down targets from a great distance away.
The Eagle is the base aerial unit for the Iron Fist. It is quite manouverable and has a heavy gun to mow down infantry.
Finally, muddled up in this nice little screenshot are three other units. The tank there is the Cheetah. It's fast, lightly armoured and with a light cannon. It can also, however, self-repair. At the very top is the Heavy Infantry with a couple of powerful rocket launchers there. Right in the middle is the Iron Fist commando unit, the Partisan (not parmasan as someone managed to call it). These are units from The Order that defected and joined the Iron Fist forces. They have a powerful armour-piercing sniper rifle and explosives to take out structures.
Added on top of this is a wad of new explosions and animations taken from RA2. There are a few other works in progress, including the Trauma Tank, the Spark (which is a name in progress. I'm still not too sure about it) and the Invigilator. These will probably be shown in the coming weeks. As there are a set of holidays coming up, I should have plenty of time to work on the mod. _________________

Oh, there are far better ways to kill your enemies in this. Actually, that may be a slight lie. It probably is the most fun way . The Trauma Tank is extrordinarily good fun, trust me on that. _________________
