Some Ideas for the Enhanced mode for the IMO most impressive Mods i ever saw:

Hopefully it is not TOO LONG!

As i know, there will be squads, Garrision and Veterancy.

My Suggestions for Enhanced Mode:
There should be no self-repair for Heroic Units, but slight faster Promotion.
Helicopters have more Armor and use their Secondary Weapons for more Damage, make them more important, but their ammo is still limited.
There shoulnd't so (if) many Support Powers, because TD is considered Macroing than Microing.
More Technicans are spawned from Buildings, making cruelly things (Like KILLING THEM WITH FIRE ) moar longer!

Techtree in Enhanced Mode:

Global Defense Initiative
MCV
Walls
Powerplant (100 PU)
Baracks (Infantry)
Guard Tower (MK19-Grenade Launcher Upgrade, 300$ per Tower, needs Warfactory for Upgrade)
Heli-Pad (Chinook)
Refenery
Silo
Hybrid-Fusion Power Plant (300 PU)
War Factory (Humvee, APC, Medium Tank, Mk19 Upgrade for M113 and Guard Tower)
Comm-Station (BRDM, GPS Upgrade/Shotgun Officer Upgrades)
Repair Field
AG-Tower (MRLS)
Technology Centre (M2/Kevlar/M79 Upgrades ,XO-Powersuit)
Adv. Comm Station (Ion-Cannon, ORCA-Carrier, X66 Mammoth Tank)

Minigunner Squad (3 Men), GPS, improves Range by 25$ for his Weapon 1000$ in Baracks, Officer with Shotgun as Upgrade 1000$
Grenadier Team (2 men) clears garrison, M79 as Upgrade; 25% moar Firepower and 20% Range, 1500$
Rocket-Soldier (2 men), more accurate and Armor

All of them can upgrade with Kevlar-Armor which gives 25% more Armor 1500$

IMHO is a good idea to have some enhancement based on the main game (ex. water units buildable, airstrike not binded to Sam Sites, sole-survivor/multiplayer units available, infinite nuclear missiles from the Temple of Nod, airstrip for GDI too, in order to let them using aircraft like F-16 etc.).

airstrike not binded to Sam Sites

In C&C1 they are not linked to SAM sites. But in some missions you get Airstrikes by killing all Nod SAM sites..

Quote

sole-survivor/multiplayer units available

The sole survivor units are exactly the same as the C&C1 units. And I think the multiplayer units are available in C&C3:TD skirmish anyways...

Quote

infinite nuclear missiles from the Temple of Nod

Like in C&C1 multiplayer?

Quote

airstrip for GDI too, in order to let them using aircraft like F-16

Why should GDI use F-16 when they have futuristic future planes? And Nod use F-22's...if I remember correctly C&C3 only supports VTOL Aircraft anyways...

and Gollum

Where is the Nod helipad and Air units in your list?

[PUOjACKz]

The idea is to introduce some more militarish weapons (like Generals), that aren't too much unfocused with C&C TD or ridiculous. More "realistic" in terms of "army".

PUOjACKz: The campaign will use Classic mode anyway, so none of the things you mentioned there are even relevant, since they don't apply to multiplayer/skirmish mode.

Heroic what now?

About Heroic Level veterancy:
Veteran is Level 1 Veterancy, Elite is Level 2 and Level 3 is Heroic in the C&C Games, means that in Level 3 Units normally heal themselves.
But in the Enhanced Mode of TD, it would make Service Fields useless and the Units too powerful!
Promotion should be not THAT FAST, but a Mammoth shouldn't need 7200$ worth of Enemy equipment only to become Heroic.

Uhm.. in this case I don't have understand what the "Enhanced Mode" is. So, what you mean about? Where Enhanced Mode will find place?

How about making the Comm-center upgradable into adv.comm-center? Like it was supposed to be in Tiberian Sun where you purchase Ion Canon uplink and stuff to your comm-center. This would differentiate GDI a bit more from Nod. I see no resaon of having two so similar looking buildings in the same base.

Yes, nice idea IMHO.

Skirmish and multiplayer. Where else? We can't really recreate the original missions as they were if the units are different...

Maybe if we got some mission making enthusiasts they'd want to make Enhanced mode missions too, but the original campaign will take priority anyway.
