Single Player modding/mapping and the UMP
#3
I agree that avoiding linking would be preferable to working around the problems it causes.

However:
Yuri not having a dog means he could potentially have two attack dog types (forget the land rush issues for now).
Does the AI ever build Yuri attack dogs? If not, then new attack dog types could be created that would never be subject to map modifications.

The technician as generic [doesn't have to have different properties] engineer would, IMO, be an acceptable compromise as that would mean only 1 missing link (however Yuri can, of course, mind-control enemy Engineers).

I think that avoiding linking (even if it means missing links) is the best option. That way, although there are some missing link issues, there will be no chance of IEs cropping up.

As such, linking will now be covered in the 'extras' section of the UMPDP and generally discouraged.
Ever wondered what the hell is going on?
Believe me friend you're not the only one.
