: > : mercinaries, from locals or such others.
: > No map purchasing.
: If u purchase a map, it would only show the landscape, not the enemy.
Guess that would be okay...

: > : 14.   Selections of bombs on Airstrikes.
: > Nope. Airstrike is airstrike.

: BUT selection of planes..... see the cutscene with the jets dropping bombs 
: NOT the A10s dropping napalm.... This could be used with the multi sides 
: thing... like GDI = napalm and Nod = bombs etc.
Hmm... Maybe NOD=napalm GDI=bombs... but yeah, why not.

: > : 17.   Camoflage option, ie. for extra money a troop blends into a
: > : background.
: > Hmm... why not.
: becoz it would be very very strange to see a shrub blowing up ur cons yard.
: Stealthing more vehicles however.....
Yes... But those units would be detected from a short distance...

: > : 19.   The ability to dig tunnels and plant bombs. Such as WW1 trench
: > : warfare.
: > No tunnel digging!
: no tunnels,... but trenches and traps... Tanks can fall into trenches that 
: have been covered up... cool.
Yes, that would be cool!

: HOw about SCUD launchers? like nuke in C&C 1 but weaker, and have a certain 
: range...
Why not...

: > YES YES YESYESYES!

: ?!?!?! oh yes, lets do that... "Ok, guys, you've been briefed... LETS GO!!!"
: "No! we want a pay rise... screw u! STRIKE! STRIKE!" jeez.
No... I mean, C&C isn't meant to be realistic, but if you send a troop 
alone to enemy base, it sould flee... and get executed at base :)
Or maybe these guys just are so stupid, that if you say "Go to that base! Do
it for the world!!!" (GDI) they go there... maybe... Or they may also have
a little tiny microchip in their brains...

: > Oh, you mean the FOG OF WAR, huh?
: > Now THAT would be something!
: no it wouldn't... an option for FOW... becoz a lot of people don't like it.
I meant an option...

: Or... engineers for units? have these men that go into units and take
: them over!
Yes, that would be much better!

: > 31: Building a bit like in WC2. (the MCV thingy). 

: i think that might hurt game play... but it might not... make it really 
: expensive and fragile.  
It wouldn't hurt the gameplay, I think...

: > 33: The famous FOG OF WAR! It's the only thing that blows up the C&C
: >     multiplayer games!

: No it isn't. If u want reallism, don't play C&C.
Hey! I don't want it because it's realistic! I want to build my base 
wtihout opponent seeing it all the time!
I want to build another base without enemy destroying it ass soon as 
possible.
I want to make suprise attacks and all that kinda stuff!
I mean in C&C you always know when the opponent will attack! You really
shouldn't know that.

: > 34: Weapon that temporary (say, 30 seconds in middle game speed) disables
: >     all kinds of turrets and defence.

: huh?! well u could just knock out their power u noe.
And if they have enough exess power???

: > 43: Funny little animals wandering around like in WC2.

: Civies... I would rather blow them up... hahahahaahah
No, little cute animals... and civies protecting them.. that would be FUN!
Shoot an animal and civilian shouts "HEy! That was my dog! I'm gonna kill 
ya!", and then shoot the civilian!

: 2) This *might* hurt gameplay.. but it would probably not though..
: RESEARCH CENTRES!!! u click on them and you can research steal tech for more 
: units.... u can research STUFF. 
I don't think it would hurt gameplay... and it would be cool.

: 3) When u put people into APCs or Chinooks, make them all go in. I hate 
: having to select each man to go in.
Yes, and they would go in a lot faster!

: 4) Super duper unit that costs a bitch.... 5 turrets on it with a huge cannon 
: and the works.. and don't stick a VolksWagen beatle motor on it like in the 
: mammoth tank. With all that power and the cost of the investment, PUT A 
: DESCENT MOTOR ON IT!!!!!!!!!
And then both sides would start bulding only those units...

It wouldn't work!

: 5) Back to the research thing... Bigger harvies... a bit like the warcraft2 
: upgrades.
Yep. Would be cool.

: 6) More air units... jets that blow up buildings. Ability to target air 
: units.
DEFINATELY YES!

: 7) Scouting units.. like small robot buggies which are really light/fast/ 
: have bloody huge dcout radius.
Yep.

: 8) OH... back to the fog of war... that is not great but if u could build 
: jammers? (unrealistic but who says C&C is realistic?) Jam the enemy's radar 
: so he can't see ur base.... 
Umh... I don't think enemy should see your base anyway, so...

: 9) Not my suggestion but it is a good one: Cliff scaling men and men who have 
: jump jets which fly for short periods of time.
Yep yep yep.

: 10) Chinook transports vehicles.
Yes, somekinda transport plane.

: 11) Electrified fences to kill infantry?
Heheheee. ZZZZZZTTT! Uaaarrrghhh!

: 12) A bit crazy but.... A really fast unit with flamer and is pretty badly 
: armoured.. but is VERY fast... specialised troop killer. SQUISH BURN SQUISH 
: BURN... etc.
Hmm... no... then troops wouldn't be good anymore...

: 13) Camouflaged snipers........ hide here and there and can pick off enemy 
: troops.
Yes.

: 14) Distinction between MACHINE gunners and MINI gunners.. mini gunners 
: should be pumped and really cool... awesome destructive power.
Why not.

: 15) SCUD launchers.
You already said that...

: 16) MAYBE night and day... Launch night time attacks and it'll be pretty 
: cool!!!!
Yes. Should be possible to select from multiplayer menu.

: 17) Maybe a bit too violent but have war in city areas where civies are 
: running around with cars and sky scrapers? hmm..
Too violent???? Nope. It would be COOL!

: 18) I'm all out of ideas.
And so am I.
