I started liking it but then I went to the helicopter on the plateau. And then to the sawmill. And with that I decided that your claim that it is 98% vanilla is just misleading.

To anyone who plays CoP for the first time: Don't do it with this mod.

If you want a suggestion in terms of naming of the QO:
Based on the shape and its ability to fly I'd personally call the QO the "Cicada Battlewalker" (/Cicada Gunship). It's "arms" while being on the ground remind me a lot of a cicada sitting on a wall.
Cicadas are also very much associated with JPN so personally I think it fits the theme.
In terms of balancing I think their ability to just quickly reposition or bypass defenses and deploy in positions where the enemy is vulnerable is extremely potent and I'd say they'd either need a nerf in terms of damage and durability or in terms of air speed.

Sorry for being so rude about it in the previous post, it was in the middle of the night for me and I just finished the game and pretty much went to bed immediately after.

Played it very shortly and only the JP subfaction, so take it with a massive spoonful of salt but here my thoughts:

- Queen Oni sounds dumb? Sorry for being so direct about it. I get it is supposed to be the counterpart of the King Oni but I just wish it would differentiate more
(Especially considering oni are basically the JP counterpart to western ogres, so something distinctly male)

- Also QO is a bit too strong, considering its versatility - JP always traded versatility for cost efficiency, and QO seems both way too adept at dealing with smaller units in ground mode, has AA (not tested, but at least that's what the tooltip says?) and also has an air form which while definitely feeling more like a gimmick in terms of combat performance (intented?) is still huge in terms of mobility
(though I am not as against this as it seems, as I think JP lategame units should be stronger due to the much higher investment compared to soviets and allies - maybe buff King Oni? In which case the QO isn't as much too strong as it seemed, though you might still want to bump the price; otherwise maybe remove building time for production upgrades (keep costs obv)(also then you obviously would need to nerf both QO and the unit whose name I forgot you took from C&C3;))

- doubt this one was intended but I could build main faction JP MCVs in both factory and dockyard

- also had no building limit on the commando? Or was that intented (as her tooltip says she was mass-produced). Dunno how to feel about that one.

- Any plans for custom protocols?

All this was written pretty much immediately after I was done, if you want balance suggestions or more thoughts I'd love to share and assist you with them.
Best try to contact me on Twitter @CPTpurrfect as I am a very occasional guest on moddb these days.
Thanks for all the work, it's really cool!

All those things were left out as the point of the mod is balancing. And while I support the Giga Fortress getting its anti air back (or just getting long range artillery rockets) most of those have been removed in order to balance things out.

(I mean long range akin to artillery ships, maybe even longer. I mean calling the lasers artillery feels kinda meh considering how huge the range of artillery ships is)

Is it just me or is the Giga Fortress ******* glass and dies much too fast and deals not nearly enough - especially considering the time and ressources you put into the gigantic pile of crap.
I mean, ye its the only of the three "super units" which doesn't need a tier 4 SP to unlock, but you still can only build one and you need to upgrade your shipyard in order to get it. And when it comes to ground targets the shogun battleships are just vastly superior both in range and damage. Don't see a reason RN to build the GF. Especially considering you need to upgrade your dock for this AND you can only have one.

Tesla Mammoth - aside of the weird but obvious from where it comes naming - also doesn't feel like it justifies that you need at least 4 points into a single tree even if you have no interested in any of the other upgrades it offers.

Haven't tried allies yet, but those "superior" units certainly lack a level of superiority.

If I want to invest such amounts of time into just getting them they definetally should be a threat on their own akin to U weapon. I mean it is easier to get one of those than to get one of the S units. And for that they just feel shallow and too easy to fight off.

And last point (which got deleted when i added the suggestions for alternate protocols):
The japanese Wave-Force technology seems to project kinetic energy (akin to Cyclops from the X-Men in some incarnations).
Nanites can't really do much to upgrade those. Maybe rename the protocol to "Wave-Force Focalization" or something like that.
(I know. We got giant robots as large as buildings so realism is a bit out of the window, but leave me poor nerd alone :( )

Aside of that I absolutely enjoy this mod, especially the slight changes to the unit/building skins to make it look less like a plastic toy collection sim.

Am I the only person who thinks "honorable discharge" should be changed that it doesn't suck as hard?
Maybe make it an upgrade for the Yari and the Burst Drone to deliver an EMP, or let the Imperial warriors trigger an (actual) explosion when they die with their swords drawn which knocks down surrounding enemy infantry? (maybe both?)
Alternatively it could be replaced by an entirely different protocol, few suggestions:
- Nanite-enhanced Attacks: Tsunami tanks, Archer Maidens and Steel Ronin deal additional damage over time
- Supercharged Nanocells: Tsunami tanks can shoot while their Nano-deflectors are active
- Supra-Cells: Non-defense structures consume less/no power (probably only as last or second to last protocol though)
- Surveillance Master: Radar stays active even when no Building Yard is set up or you are on low power mode

Also I kinda hoped the weapon upgrades would make slight changes to the model and the armored fleet upg for the tsunami looks weird (too much red imo), but hey can't have everything.

idk no fan of lense flare.

I have a strange symbol in my HUD - it kinda ressembles a stomache. But when I ate it didn't go away. What is that??

if he does that it can easily happen that the balancing is broken.

good idea! whats about of swirling threshers as collecting tools insteand of the claws?

Whats about putting the reservoir on the left side and stretch the rest (or keep it so, anyway) I think it would look great..

I must say I liked the cabin... :/

MARV is bigger than one too, **** it, its great!

Nice but the scorpion tail is the wrong way arround.

sorry but I think they look too fat for being a fast marauder n everything :/ no offense

Looks nice

Will there be a version for PS Vita too? could imaging good controls there

An ONI and an OGRE are two diffrent things! Oni = Demon, Devil and NOT OGRE

Will it be possible to turn it on/off in the gameoptions? I think though the NPCs wont do that its kind of a disadvantage for the player.

Im from germany so it doesnt touch me directly - but still, i must say this is an act you my dear friends from the USA should not take place - not now, not today, not tomorrow, NEVER!

I see the chain reaction coming, and I dont like that thought, because, what will happen after SOPA/PIPA? ofc other countries will follow the US line and the freedom of the internet will be endangered like the white shark and one day dead like the dodo - stop SOPA - stop PIPA.

dignified legacy for WotW.
with that what i want written down, and my hopes raised back to the stars, i want to say see you next time, regards

A pity, one of the most daring mods has officially declared "dead"
That's now a fact.
A sad fact which has been for sure a heavy weight on the shoulders of you and your team Beacon,and when you wrote this you surely were sad, like the community is now sad for the death of your great mod.
My hope are very clear:
That MAYBE, just MAYBE someday you will write a new update to WotW or that you create a new CoP-project, a project which will stand for a new generation of total conversation mods, a mod which will be the

First they ruin SC2 with their "No LAN-Support" ******** and now D3 with an item-shop and a permanent internet-connection? Further, Activision support is also just a bunch of faggots - finding bad excuses for their own stupidy (I for myself had a problem that in CoD BO my weapon-clantag and weapon-emblem purchase gets resetet after 1-2 games and i always must repurchase it if i wanted to use it again, what did they tell me? my computer doesnt meet the requirements so they can not help me! At WHICH point had i talked about non-existing performance problems? i can run the game on nearly max. graphics without problems and have a problem with my gameplay and they can not help me because my computer doesnt meet the REQUIREMENTS!? seriously that are just very bad excuses for their incompetence)

Ah okay^^

Will you sell it via steam...?

Will you also sell it via steam?

Please sell it via Steam

Btw, can you pls upload it on youtube? the video is playing faster than i load it and doesnt save temporarly so i cant just stop the vid and wait, would really be nice.

CoS will rip FT apart :3 (I'm sure!)
