AUGUST NEWS

Larry: Most of the questions have been asked over and over so I'm just going to ask new ones. First off, Will flying units be able to fight with each other in the air?
Erik Yeo: Yes, some better than others.

Larry: Will there be stealth aircraft?
Erik Yeo: No. But they will have some unique abilities.

Larry: I've heard that the power plants will be able to have defensive add-ons but in an article I read it said there was only a power upgrade. Which is true?
Erik Yeo: You will have a few choices but not a defensive upgrade.

Larry: Will aircraft show up on radar?
Erik Yeo: Some will and some won't.

Larry: How will the tunneling flame tank work. Will you be able to move it around underground or just show it where to burrow and where to surface?
Erik Yeo: Actually the Flame Tank's tunneling ability may not make the cut. It is almost too powerful and gives Nod a decisive advantage in most situations.

Larry: Have you figured out how too make sure the Harvesters aren't misused when a harvester treaty is on?
Erik Yeo: To make sure they aren't abused during a harvester treaty we have implemented many new features; They have no vision (They will go off into the black sometimes), They can't squish men, and they are forced to move off of an enemy gate.

Larry: I know this question is a kind of stupid question, but can obelisks still be destroyed with one shot from an Ion cannon?
Erik Yeo: We won't know that until we finish up with the balancing.

Larry: Could you please give me a few examples of what you can get in crates during multi-player.
Erik Yeo: Unit upgrades are back plus the crates are now one of the only ways to get the nuke. We also hid some "Gag units" in the crates such as dinosaurs and warcraft "look-a-likes."

Larry: And finally what is the current release date?
Erik Yeo: As of now it's undecided but it looks like it will take a little longer than we thought....Wait for Westwood.com to get updated. It will have alot of new information.
