2. NEW FEATURES
=================================
The new additions in this version

GLA Sniper - NEW UNIT!
------------------------------

Added GLA Sniper for Stealth General. GLA Snipers are similar to USA Pathfinders, but they are less camouflaged so they requires more time to regain stealth and also reveal themselves when firing unlike Pathfinders. Requires Palace and need to be unlocked on 1 Star General.


Heavy Toxin Tractor - NEW UNIT!
------------------------------

second salvage: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7556/ch...avytractor2.jpg
Toxin General now gets Heavy Toxin Tractor that have bulkier armor and stronger toxin compared to normal Toxi Tractor. Replaces his Toxin Tractor.


Twin-Gattling Tank - NEW UNIT!
------------------------------

Added Twin-Gattling Tank for Tank General. It's a Gattling Tank variant with two barrels instead of one. Fires faster to do more damage per second compared to the normal Gattling Tank. Replaces his Gattling Tank.


Infantry Training protocol
------------------------------
Replaces Infantry General Minigunner Training. This revamped and rebalanced version makes Minigunners, Tank Hunters, and Flamethrowers start as veterans (instead just make Minigunners start as elite). Other subfaction Red Guards, Tank Hunters, and Flamethrowers also affected with this training. With this, when enemy capture an Infantry General Barracks they will not get any veteran infantry.


Tank Training protocol
------------------------------
Replaces Tank General Battlemaster Training. Instead just make elite Battlemasters, this protocol makes Battlemasters, Twin-Gattling Tanks, and Dragon Tanks start as veterans. Also affects other subfactions Battlemasters, Gattling Tanks, and Dragon Tanks. With this, when enemy capture an Tank General War Factory they will not get any veteran tanks.


Light Vehicle Training protocol
------------------------------
Replaces Technical Training, exclusive for Stealth General. Makes not only Technicals, but also Rocket Buggies start as veterans. Also affects other subfactions Technicals and Rocket Buggies.


Fake Stinger Site
------------------------------
All GLA factions can build realistic replica of Stinger Site. They can be upgraded to real building or detonated. Have decoy Stinger Soldiers that can attack with no damage. Good for distraction. Even they do no damages, enemy will still take caution when moving around their aircraft if you place them correctly.


Fake Tunnel Network
------------------------------
All GLA factions can build realistic replica of Tunnel Network. They doesn't come with free RPG Troopers. Can be upgraded to real building (and gives you the free RPG Troopers) or detonated. The turret can attack like the real Tunnel Network, but with no damage. Good for distraction. This building not connected to the network, so if you're worried about Bunker Busters or Nuke Cannon Neutron Shells attacks that kill the units inside the tunnel when they're still under construction, you can build the fake version first, and upgrade them to real structure.

Fake SCUD Storm
------------------------------
All GLA factions can build realistic replica of SCUD Storm. Can be upgraded to real building or detonated. Can launch fake SCUD Storm superweapon to scare your opponents. Except the lower building healthpoint, your enemies can't tell are this building real or fake because this building also have the superweapon countdown and also revealed to all players, but when the fake superweapon launched, they will realize that this building do no damages. When upgraded to real version it will reset the countdown, don't think you can cheated the timer with this.

PROTIP: Use this fake structure for trolling or as drama-generating technique, for the lulz!

File Name: 01 Prison (ZH version)
File Submitter: Beng
File Submitted: 14 Aug 2010
File Updated: 19 Aug 2010
File Category: Zerohour Missions

01 Prison (ZH version) ver. 1.1
Single player mission for Zero Hour
Requires Zero Hour version 1.04

This map was made by madiba127 for the Shockwave mod, this version is modified by beng for use with Zero Hour without mods.

You win by destroying all GLA things on the well defended hill across the river. There are many ways you can play this - you can try a ground attack, pure air power, a special forces heli insertion, or a mixture of different strategies.



Some hints:

• The GLA attacks will get harder as you tech up, for example when you build a war factory or airfield or base defences, they will start using new types of attacks.
• Leaflet drop makes angry mobs.
• If you buy the carpet bomb science you can deploy a carpet bomber from your strategy center.
• You get napalm bombs for aurora bombers.
• Stealth jet missiles have a small neutron blast effect.
• Cargo planes are armed, so build your supply dropzones such that the planes coming from the nearest map edge will overfly the GLA base and damage it.
• Avengers can shoot down tank shells. Paladin tanks have improved anti-missile lasers.
• Colonel Burton can call in long range artillery support from the strategy center cannon to target enemy objects (you must use the bombardment plan).
• The GLA will rebuild their scud storms 5 times.
• The GLA command center, and also the tech repair bay, repair all the buildings of the player who owns them.
• If you have a slower computer and experience lag, destroy the water tower in the bottom right corner of your base. This will delete all the trees, which may help a bit, but otherwise play with trees on - it's more fun.

Version 1.1 changes:

• Imrpoves the train scripting. It will now respawn even when destroyed twice. GLA will try to board it.
• Train quad cannons will no longer get target fixated on only one thing.
• Chinooks get missile jammers.
• Fixed flak explosion damage FX for tomahawk missiles and chinook

~Oasis of Nomads~

Oasis of Nomads is a map set in, surprisingly, an Oasis/desert setting. It's been designed for either Free for All play or 2v2 in any form possible (North versus South or East versus West)
Each base has access to a single supply depot with another supply depot at the frontlines near the middle lake.
Between the northern and southern bases stands an Oil Derrick and between the western and eastern bases stands an oil refinery.
The middle island has been connected to the mainland through the use of bridges which span the width of the lake. It also has a house which can be garrissoned with soldiers to prevent passage in the early-game.
Near the southern and northern bases are both "landbridges" and normal bridges spanning the river.

Here are a couple of images to show you what the map looks like in-game.





This image down here is the original concept of the map, drawn by MDW, also known as Rayburn, in 2007 for the Mapper Guild.


You can download this map from the cncmaps.com servers or, alternatively, here.
