Don't worry - nothing to do with time travel! I would just like to see the Future Era reinstated. Something seems fundamentally wrong about researching the Internet and Giant Death Robots at the same time!

Obviously adding a whole new Era requires adding a fair bit of content, but here's just a few ideas for new units:

  • Amphibious Assault Vehicle (upgraded from Marines)
  • Stealth Destroyer (upgraded from Destroyer)
  • Scorpion (upgraded from Helicopter Gunship) - similar to this
  • Javelin (upgraded from Antitank Gun) - Probably some form of plasma weapon
  • Floating Fortress (upgraded from Carrier) - Fresh out of 1984! A Carrier that can also perform ranged attacks and launch missiles.
  • Plasma Team (upgraded from Bazooka)
  • Meks (upgraded from Mechanised Infantry) - similar to this
  • Hover Tank (upgraded from Modern Armour)
  • Fusion Bomb (upgraded from Nuclear Missile)

I have slightly different ideas for the upgrade chains too. I would alter it such that:
  • Airship --> Helicopter Gunship --> Scorpion
  • ... Lancer --> Anti-tank Gun --> Javelin
  • The Giant Death Robot no longer upgrades from anything

Hopefully adding more units will add a bit more richness to the final military stages of the game, as well as allowing players to dare to attack GDRs
