A Blast From the Past (BattleStrat)

Post by Red Devil »

For those of you who never played it/heard of it, the Battlestrat mod was made back in 2000. It has faster crigs, faster scrap production, some new units, and new build-menu items and it can be used to play IA, MPI, and Strat.

I worked on fixing asset errors and converting some textures to .dxtbz2, etc., to get it running in 1.3.6.5:

BattleStrat 2014
BattleStrat 2014 - bzscrap mirror

Install: Unzip/drag to root of BZ2 install so that the Battlestrat folder and the Missions folder winds up in addon.

Uninstall: drag Battlestrat folder out of addon to root; delete Missions folder (moving it out would conflict with Missions folder in root)

Will cause bad assets if trying to play with non-Battlestrat server

please let me know if i missed anything by posting about it here.

It might be worth noting that skill is twice as powerfull in this mod than it is in the normal (slow) game.
Rush-tactics are the standard.
