Finnaly...now down to business...please answer all these for I do not know the answers and could not find them in that mess of a comments page on moddb:

Why is Nod not getting an epic unit? I missed that conversation completely...and why not make the mutants powerful? you have to go through alot of trouble just to capture their hub, why not make them actualy WORTH the 600 you pay for? The standard mutants are nearly useless, the ony thing they could do that was worth a shit is to fire at air units, other than that they suck! Thats why I request that they get a buff of SOME kind.

Nod epic unit = Cyborg Commando. It may be less powerful and way smaller then the other 2, but it's also less expensive, and draws less attention when mixed with other infantry Wink

Well I can understand that, but it seems so 1 sided to have 2 factions with big bad ass super units and Nod gets jipped even though they have a few potential candidates. Would you consider the Core Defender as a Nod epic unit and set it so you can only build that or the other but not both? It was done for the Scrin mother ships so I think it could be reasonable for this case. Smile

The Core Defender is CABAL's, not Nod. There's no need for Nod to have a huge epic unit like the others, you know. They can be different, just as how the Scrin can look as buggy as they want and others cannot complain.

Also, epic units aren't that hard to bring down. Especially not with Nod. Long live mixed infantry attacks and Banshees #Tongue

Who was the orginal owner of CABAL? Nod. Who currently owns all of his merchandise after getting owned in Firestorm? Nod. having no Core Defender there but having everything ELSE is a bit off don't ya think!? Confused

CABAL's Core Defender is developed by CABAL alone, rather than the cyborgs which are developed originally by Nod.
Also, the Core Defender resembles Scrin manufacture in some ways, rather than simple human engineering..

A little bit, but I thought Nod got all their tech from the Scrin ship they found. I would like Carnius to say something here so I can get a real answer and not be so persistant. Rolling Eyes

Ah, yes, the "nod epic unit" question, it is here again and i bet not for the last time. I know that for many nod fans is Cyborg Comando not satisfying epic unit despite the fact that it is unique unit among all 3 factions, but IMHO anything like redeemer as nod epic unit is epic fail which doesnt represent nod combat doctrine. Nod always rely on sneaky tactics rather than frontal assault which is rather Gdi way.

I want to lead my mod different way than KW, but that is always difficult to balance things properly while not use the same game mechanics for each faction. To be honest i feel myself that nod is somewhat weaker than others, but not just that. In one hand i feel nod is oversaturated with units in other hand i feel nod is still missing something. In other terms im not yet done with nod and epic unit question, i will work on this subject until i´ll be satisfied with result, but it wont be anything like core defender or redeemer, that is sure. But please dont open any discussion about what could be nod epic here, there is thread dedicated to this question already, i´v got a lot of ideas regarding this subject and with time i will return to most of them and reconsider them.

Thank you for the response, that's what I needed to know. I was asking if there were other threads on this subject and no one really gave me an answer so I made this thread. If someone can link that original discussion thread here so that I may view it that would be most helpful, if you decide to change your mind about Core Defender, the idea I posted above would not be be a bad choice to have implemented.
