The Technician is crucial to keeping your base functioning. He is normally assigned to one building, and keeps it maintained and repairs any damage that occurs to the structural integrity.

He is one of the most important soldiers in the entire game. Without the Technician, you have no free repairs and your base will slowly crumble because of lack of maintenance.

He carries a single pistol and runs quite fast. He has no anti-structure or anti-vehicle capabilities.

The Engineer is his counterpart, a stronger, more expensive soldier with the ability to heal buildings completely with one shot from his "gold wrench" weapon.

Will the "gold wrench" have unlimited ammo?

I smell balance issues...


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Both teams have Engineers that can completely repair a structure. The question is: Did they already use that ability, and await the one minute recharge period... Or is the Barracks down?

If either is true, they're not much of a threat. They're mainly "emergency repair" units that can repair a building in one shot, but they're out of the repair business for one minute.

They also cost quite a bit, $500 can be hard to find without an Ore Refinery, or if your Ore Truck keeps getting pounded.

Just for comparison, original renegade models (such as Commando and Raveshaw) used 512x512 texture map for body and 256x256 texture map for head and neck.

I agree about the plumber. One instance this might be considered unfair is when you and someone else place 2 flares with the intent of doing enough damage combined to take something out, but the tech waits till the first goes off before he repairs. That wouldn't be an emergency repair, that would more of less be exploiting the character for his worth. But hey.. core gameplay, bring it on.

Unless it's like the medic. You may have to wait maybe 30 seconds to repair again. Or it would be more even if he just had a certain amount of repair power (ammo) and had to buy him again.

Stupid flakes, the breakfast of... what? Trying to make some sense of what you said. First of all, if you need two flares to destroy a single structure, you're placing it too far back. The technician repairs the same way the old (Renegade, .9925 RenAlert) engineer does. I think you're trying to say an engineer can make a fast repair to a structure after a near nuke-hit or other major damage. Engineers will now cost $500, expensive, and you won't be able to do it again for another minute.

Engineers, the guys with the "golden wrench" and and cost $500, will be able to repair Structures with one shot to the MCT.

The technician will be able to repair vehicles, disarm beacons, and repair buildings but at a slower rate.

Also, the nuke damage has been scaled down for .993. No more "double building kills."

You sure about vehicles, RenX? And nuke damage isn't getting scaled back, you're thinking about the Demo Truck. A-Bombs can take out an entire base if placed properly. Demo Trucks don't do as much as A-Bombs.

Yeah, I was gonna say, one nuke could take out many buildings (Around 0-6) in Red Alert.

I said "double building kills", meaning you won't be able to take out 2 buildings at once in .993, which you can do now....

Hmm....now that I think about it, the technician doesn't look enough like Snoop Dogg.

Uh, RenX, yes you will, easily, but since only one A-Bomb Signal Flare works every five minutes, you better plan if you want it to be effective.

Aircraftkiller

Every five minutes, the Missile Silo spawns an A-Bomb Signal Flare. It's powerful enough to destroy the entire enemy base if placed so that its 150 meter blast range will encompass the base.


Demo Truck damage, however, is significantly less than what an A-Bomb does now. It can destroy an Ore Silo or Power Plant, and that's about it. (Maybe a Service Depot too?)
