Furthermore, the demo will no longer include the dozer building system for the two main factions. This means that you will build up your base like old C&C's - via construction yards. Also we decided to let the normal ZH factions and generals stay in the demo, since we want to enable fun skirmish games and to get our AOD working with the mod. ;)
Finally, the demo's official subtitle has been announced: The Power of High-Tech Warfare: Taste of Destruction
Mr.Funsocks: Can you tell us a little bit more about "fortress mode" and the new ability "lance strike"?
Detonato: TPoHW has 4 base modes. Each of them significantly changes the game play. "Fortress mode" is great if you would like to play long games. It is also great for beginners 'cause the wall avoids all rushes for the first minutes in the game. Just upgrade a wall segment to a sentry gun or bunker and the enemy has to retreat. This doesn't mean that you can't destroy the wall, however — strong units like "renegades" or "boss renegades" can create large gaps in your defences. "Boss renegade" is the point where I transition to the lance strike. If you saw the trailer, the unit in the animated render is the Boss Core defender. The Boss Core defender can throw his lances. If the lances hit the ground, the green glowing energy cores change the weather. Enemies must then destroy the lances as fast as they can, in order to quickly force them back into outer space.
Furthermore, the Lance Strike is now complete. The new lightning effects can be seen in the gallery as well.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that we're still looking for experienced people to help us on the mod. Click here to see what positions are available.
And of course, we'd be glad if you'd vote for us in the MOTY 2006 Award on ModDB.com. Thanks in advance for your vote!
» The first official trailer has been released! View it here!
The first chapter of the mod begins with the arrival of a cybernetic life form that had traveled into the past from the future. For thousands of years it has been sleeping to regenerate from a war and to strengthen itself. In 2022 the humans discovered its strange technology. Hungry for power, they are stealing part of the Pandora-Technology without consideration. Angered, the cybernetic creature starts hunting the humans. It is the beginning of a brutal fight to avoid total annihilation. The question is: Can the humans avoid the apocalypse?
More details about the storyline can be found on the Story page. And of course, you'll want to check out the Screenshots Gallery for glimpses of some amazing superweapons and exciting new technologies.
