Althought this concept art is nothing new,this USA POW Truck from C&C Generals would be a nice civillian truck,as Crimsonum said. _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games. QUICK_EDIT
Remaking the civilian vehicles has been on the to-do-list for a while, we recently took on another voxel artist to fulfill this role. Maybe something like that will make it into the build, we'll see. QUICK_EDIT
hmm...turning civilians into armed militia men sounds like an ideea. The context is there and giving them some weapons and a few light armored vehicles or post apocalypse style improved armor on simple vehicles would be a nice touch.(for civilians that are not in the so called blue zones that is) _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Really? It is a possibility to see the POW Truck(as a civillian truck) in TI,right?In one of the future builds of course. _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games. QUICK_EDIT
Nothing new either on this concept art. I don't know if this also has a possibility to make it in one of the future builds of Twisted Insurrection ,but it would be a nice replacement for GDI's Convoy Truck. _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games. QUICK_EDIT
imho a militia/guerrilla faction would be a good idea, maybe as a corollary to the existing mutant faction. Might be fun to design some Mad Max style vehicles for them, and maybe have them use a handful of TD units. QUICK_EDIT
I made a voxel of that a lengthy while ago, I think. It never got released, but I might still have it kicking around if you folks want it?
You still have it,or not?If you have it,I would really like to have it.Is it possible to post a picture of it(if possible)? _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games. QUICK_EDIT
It's practically RA2 sized - I'd intended to use it as the mobile form of a deployable command station, but it just stood out too much by way of scale so I never really finished the deploy anims and stuff.
As I see,you did a very nice job with the POW Truck voxel.I really like it!!! _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games. QUICK_EDIT
I hava a few ideas for civilian/miscellaneous units and buildings too:
Armed civilians: from what I remember, some of the models for civilian units already have attack animations (eg: pistol shooting to the Technician). Removing the panic mode and panic animation, tweaking with the weapon to make it stronger against infantry/weak armor and having infinite shots (opposed to 10 in Technician) should be enough to make them. These can be used to make angry mobs and as general annoyance for troops passing through cities and villages in skirmish maps.
Police/security guards: kind of a similar idea to the armed civilians above, except that it would require a recolor of one of the current civilian models. They should have slightly better health and armor compared to armed civilians. Those can be used in campaign (maybe an early Nod campaign where your task is to take control of a city?) as well as on skirmish maps as minor annoyance.
Police car: basically a recolor of the taxi model currently in the Public Beta 4 to make it look like a police car.
Construction equipment: stuff like dumpers, excavators and bulldozers. Something to put around civilian construction outposts to make them more realistic looking.
Armed pickup truck: a civilian equivalent for old Nod attack buggy. It should have a machine gun with a slightly better range than basic infantry's main weapon, and it have a turret that can fire while the vehicle moves. This way you have a really annoying anti-infantry unit.
ICBM Launcher: basically the same thing as in the original Tiberian Sun. When deployed, it fires a nuclear missile over some decent range, making it something of a minor super weapon. To avoid abuse, those should have very slow speed, weak armor and high reload wait time.
Civilian hospital: same as the one in original Tiberian Sun. It can heal troops, but can't be used to train medics and expanding bases. I like the concept of Globotech hospital, but this is for the areas which are not controlled by Globotech.
Civilian armory: uses same image as the original, and can only be used to upgrade your infantry. Similar idea to the civilian hospital above.
Civilian array: uses same image to the original and acts as a radar and short range sensor. It is also seen in areas where there is no Globotech present. QUICK_EDIT
A civillian faction(before "The Forgotten")would be nice. But I don't know if it's gonna make it to one of Twisted Insurrection's future builds. _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games. QUICK_EDIT

It would be a bit too much if civilians had ICBMs (InterContinental Ballistic Missiles) since that is something a military really don't want to forget somewhere... QUICK_EDIT

I was thinking this could be just one of the things you could find at random in crates around the map. QUICK_EDIT
I know that GDI has already the Abrams Tank during TD chronicles, something like this will make a good medium variant tank for GDI during TI chronicles. It's just an idea. _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games. QUICK_EDIT

Goliath is a Medium tank/MBT
Really?I thought it was a heavy one. _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games. QUICK_EDIT

The MKII is the heavy tank for GDI.
Also, I like the ideas Sharpshooter pointed out, other than the ICBM. The problem with that is the undeploy-redeploy glitch overrides the reload time. Plus, an ICBM is a bit overpowered for civvies.
I do like the idea of Civ's fighting back. I suppose since this timeline is gritty and tough to live in, people have become a bit hardier, and it would make sense for them to take up arms. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
I have to admit that the MK2 is truly GDI's heavy tank,with the difference that it's a walker.Maybe the concept art tank is no good for the GDI,it would be a really nice addition for the civillian resistance(if any).I mean the concept art tank could be the civillian version of GDI's Goliath Tank. _________________ I love playing old good Westwood games,especially Command & Conquer games.

But are Globotech civilians? I was thinking they were a corporation.
About Globotech, is it based (the name at least) on the Globotech from the movie "Tiny Soldiers" (or something like that)? They were a corporation with their own military.
Or maybe it was a other movie, since "Tiny Soldiers" had many references from other movies. QUICK_EDIT

So I'm guessing there's no way to make the ICBM launcher playable in game without making it too strong or too weak?
I thought that Globotech had limited presense, and there would be countries/regions which for whatever reason would have to take on arms to defend themselves. Not to mention, stuff like police and random security personel would make sense to include in any reasonably large cities regardless. QUICK_EDIT

You misinterpret my meaning, my son. I meant more in rural areas and smaller towns (because Globotech, while large, aren't everywhere at all times), you'd have the old country folk taking up arms with their hunting rifles and such. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
