Awesome to hear, and thank you! I'll check it out :) Finally got a bit of free time and decided to load contra. Amazed with all the work you guys have done even between betas haha.

Hello, I believe I've found a bug with the Infantry General in the latest Beta. (I know it's still a beta but I figured I'd bring it up just in case it hasn't been fixed yet)

From what I've seen, his infantry veterancy doesn't get applied to any of his infantry. It takes up the general's point but nobody gets promoted and new units I make aren't veterans either.

Again, just letting ya guys know if you don't already. Loving your beta dudes, especially the challenge. Keep up the good work!

So let me get this straight... The part 1 is just for the special edition but parts 2 and 3 can be used on any version? Just wondering since that's what it says. I'm using the original version.

Late reply but make sure you have the latest patch, there was a glitch before where knighthood orders took your payment but didn't come into existence. They released a hotfix for just that.

The developers are working hard daily to update the mod. There's a reason it's called a beta. It'd be weird if it /didn't/ have bugs.

No I'm an idiot and never thought to check my private messages. -.- I kept looking at the comment to see if you'd reply to that lol. Anyways I've replied to it as you might've seen by now.

Sorry but I have too much respect for the Contra team to ever re-release any of their work without their approval. These guys are awesome and I don't want to disrespect them by uploading parts of it without them at least saying it's okay. If you've ever messed with the map editor though it's a relatively easy fix.

I have more than enough honor and more than enough gold. Like I said before, it even says that my order will be made. I think it's a bug in the updated version of the mod because it still doesn't work.

Yes they are. They're the Noldor.

Get companions and level up their trainer skills as well. Each companion's trainer level applies to your soldiers just like yours does so having a lot of companions with high trainer levels can train you up a high level army very quickly.

Believe me, the textures for most/all of the armor has actually been improved over the older versions. Take a look at the version before this and tell me those were any better.

Hello, apologies if it seems like I'm asking a stupid question but how do I found a knighthood order in my town? I must be doing something wrong because I wish to found a Shadow Legion branch in my town that I own and I get the option for it, it takes my qualis gem and my money, and yet nothing happens. Is it supposed to take time for this to happen? if so how much time because I've been waiting for in-game weeks for it to happen. Do I need to have better standing with the Shadow Legion maybe? Like I said I'm getting the option to make it but when I click it it takes the payment but nothing seems to happen.

EDIT: I also tried it with the Immortals at one point and I got the same result, is this a bug or something?

Wow I can't believe anybody still updates this mod. I was just looking through the top 100 mods for moddb and saw PoP on it. I was like "how the hell can an old, un-updated mod be in the top 100. Sure it's a great mod but only updated mods are kept there." Then I saw the release time of the latest version. It feels almost like Christmas in January, thank you for updating this mod good sir, your hard work has not gone unnoticed. :)

Hello Contra team, you might have gotten a few complaints regarding the nuke general general's challenge getting stuck on the intro. I know the fix for it! All you have to do is speed up the first camera pan to make sure the camera starts doing its "run away" bit before the nuke cannons fire. If you do this then the map loads every single time. :) I've already changed it in my own personal downloaded copy of contra and if you'd like I could take the effort of such a small change off your backs and give you the modified map. The only thing I've changed about any of it is the amount of time it takes for that camera to pan.

You can't be seriously trying to complain about the creators of this mod not adding in AI for boss generals that were never meant to be played in skirmish. If you legitimately think they're responsible for any modifications you make to their mod you're out of your mind.

I would love to become a tester in multiplayer matches but there's a reason you guys haven't seen me in any online games. :/ My ISP is a bunch of asshats and put a firewall over my home firewall so that I can't forward ports. So I can't use tunngle or hamachi or anything like that. I do, however, have some experience with the map editor!

I've always wanted to make a new infantry general map ;) Also if you guys would like testing with single player things (such as skirmish AI or the generals challenge) I'd be more than happy to help. I've actually had to make a few minor adjustments to a couple GC maps on my own personal pc to stop some bugs from happening. xD

I'd love to help where I can but unfortunately I'm useless with multiplayer because of my ISP problems. I also have a little bit of experience with modelling as well but that was for another game, I might be able to help you guys with that but if you'd rather not worry about it then I can just stick to maps and testing.

I have a question, Predator. Who of you guys is currently in charge of the mod right now? I'd like to get in contact to possibly help out with it. :) I have a half-decent amount of experience with messing with a few of the configs. (some of my work is for instance, making the flamethrower infantry of the boss general replace the rocket flamethrower of the flame general cause I thought the other one needed to be shown off a bit more)

I also have dabbled with a bit of coding on the side and I'm a very fast learner when it comes to anything in the configs I don't already know about. I'd like to help you guys out if you still need it as I've heard things aren't looking too hot right now.

and besides that it's actually really easy to defend a base with just a few of the nuke general's kinda op units and an overlord with a propaganda tower addon. It keeps them all healed and they put out tons of damage.

I disagree, I like the way it fires its turrets now. All at a time would mean there'd need to be a long *** reload time between volleys to keep it balanced, which would mean it couldn't put its damage out over time, it'd have to be all at once.

It's a theory called "perfect imbalance". Meaning that because the generals are imbalanced, a meta forms where certain generals specifically counter other ones. Thus making the game somewhat balanced and more strategic again.

What do you mean by pet skill in the description? That your summons have skills now? or that all classes have summons? or something else?

That depends on if the mod uses a launcher or not. If it doesn't go into your generals directory and find the mod files, they'll usually be called something like "Modname.big" and rename it to anything else at the end like "Modname.backup" or something, then install the other mod you want to run and do the reverse of this when you want to re-install this mod. If you want to run them both at the same time, most likely you can't so I wouldn't even try...
