Novus Ordo Released! Options

[Clazzy]

I'm proud to announce the first public release of Novus Ordo! This total conversion has been in development for over two years and is more than playable (in fact, I'd argue that the balance is better than regular TS itself). The graphical side is, unfortunately, lacking, but the fun dynamics of the game more than make up for it. There are some graphical errors and missing cameos, but with all the units in place, it barely matters. I will be fixing any pressing issues as time goes on (time-permitting) and I assure you that work on the mod won't stop now, if you want to report bugs then please post them at the main forum for the mod (see below).
Finally, for any more information on the mod, poke around the Novus Ordo forum here: http://www.savagewar.co.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=64

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the mod! Go here for the download.
Also, if you're interested I've also made a wallpaper for the mod with The Order's logo, which may be found here.

And of course, obligatory pictures of stuff in the mod:

1. The lightest plane (can't remeber the name) is overlapped by the helipad.

That would be silliness on my part. The helipad graphic was never final as R-moremen disappeared before he finished it, really it should have been removed.

2. 2 or more planes can land of the helipad at the same time

Are you sure? I've never seen this bug happen before. Nobody else reported it earlier on, either. If this is happening, it is probably an issue with TS itself and not NO since the helipad code hasn't really been dabbled with.

Also, i think its too many differet tanks.

There are a lot, but I don't think there are too many. The amount of units is comparable to the amount in vanilla Firestorm.

And the Orders nuke is waaay more powerful than both of the Iron Fists SW's together.

It has a long charge time and is admittedly overpowered (it was either slightly overpowered or vastly underpowered, I chose the former). However, do remember that the missile silo is rather weak and The Order get it far after the Iron Fist radar and Tech Centre, where the IF weapons come from. The IF superweapons together are very effective too, though. The artillery can soften up a large area of the base while the airstrike can down power for a ground/air attack, finish off a major building (CY/WF/ref) damaged in the attack, or even to weaken a structure before doing an aerial bombardment. The nuke has limited tactical options, although can be paired well with the cruise missile.
