JULY NEWS Week 3

Sunday 18th July 1999
Interviews, Interviews, Interviews - ALEX
Aaron answered tons of questions this weekend. Here is a summary:
  • There is an expansion pack "in the works."
  • Terrain will affect a unit's speed in a few ways, so that for example tanks will "perhaps" be slower on sand etc.
  • Stealth tanks will uncloak when near infantry and when firing, much like in the first C&C.
  • We will "see an improvement" on the intelligence of the harvesters. (They already said that for Red Alert though)
  • The sensor array will have the longest range of sight.
  • In response to a question about base-building, Aaron replied that the TS AI will "kick Red Alert's and Tiberian Dawn's AI combined"
  • You will not be able to ally with the computer, as computers "are the enemy." I don't know why, but I have the feeling that this is only because the computer is too dumb for it. I'm sorry but I will only believe that TS's AI is good when I see it myself!
  • That NOD code - ALEX
    There is this gate to the NOD site on the official TS page. You need a code to enter it, and TS fans have tried to figure it out, even going through the source code of the script. I guess that there is some kind of "Easter Egg" hidden behind all this (VTed said that there is "something"), and Westwood is having fun with us. I think it is a cool idea, and am sure that someone will get the code soon enough.
    I'm Back!!!! - ALEX
    Yupp, it's me again! You probably don't remember me, but I used to be a permanent updater here. Daniel is off to a vacation, and I'll (try to) update a lot. So, enough talk, let's go!
    Friday 16th July 1999
    All New Layout and Massive Site Update! - Daniel
    New Nav Bar
    If you've been to this site before, you may notice the new navigation bar on the left of this page. I think it boths looks cool and is easier to use. Please tell me what you think of it, by e-mailling me.
    Note: This site looks best in Internet Explorer 4 or above, at a resolution of 800x600, with the browser window maximised.
    Re-organised Site
    Also, the site has been reorganised with clearer sections, several bits have been added and the images section has been completely re-done, with many more screenshots, photographs and pictures. Please contact me if you have any problems at all with the site.
    Note: Some sections are still incomplete and will be finished after my holiday.
    Site Map
    If you can't find something you want on the site, take a look at the site map.
    News Updater Wanted - Daniel
    We are in desperate need of another news updater on this site. If you have a little bit of time on your hands and would like to help out, please contact me for more information.
    Alex is Back! - Daniel
    During the next week, while I'm on holiday, Alexander Klaas, who used to work at this site, will be doing the news updating. Thanks a lot, Alex!
    Holiday - Daniel
    I am going on holiday on Saturday and won't be back until next Sunday so I'm afraid there won't be a newsletter this week. For now, you can look at all the images in the all-new images section!
