For the record, the subterranean units in the mod are the Mastermind (Yuri), the Subterranean War Miner (Soviets), and the Doomsday Devastator Tank (Soviets). The Allied Battle Fortress used to be able to go underground, but I discovered this made it overpowered, unless I made it into a high-tech unit - but I wanted to keep this at the medium tech level.
I did have a pavement planned for 1.5 but it doesn't seem to work correctly in the mod. Unless I can get some input from Blade about this, there won't be a pavement. It just won't work the same way as the TS one at the moment, and it could be impossible to correct this without doing drastic things.
@Zerohour: I hear ya. Still, I changed the Mastermind's armour - it's a bit easier to kill now. It also cannot move into the shroud. And yyou'll be glad to know that the AI is already harder to beat now (just ask some testers), and I haven't even started on making the AI use the new units yet...
One new "system" that this mod has is an "emergency transformation" kind of thing. Basically, the three Battle Labs can deploy into a Prism Tank, an Apocalypse, and a Mastermind (for Allies, Soviets and Yuri respectively). If you sell a battle lab, you'll also get the unit. Further, those tanks can deploy into a Prism Tower, a Tesla Coil, and a Psychic Tower respectively. So the order is Battle Lab > tank > base defence, in that order and never going backwards. It's an emergency measure to use, say, if your Battle Lab is about to be destroyed, or if you want to place a Prism Tower right inside an enemy's base, or if your Mastermind is about to explode due to MC'ing too many things (so you can repair it in Psychic Tower form).
Does this system sound good - yay or nay?
