The Second Tiberium War 2.93  

This small version update fixes several issues and brings some campaign overhauls and improvements. After months of player feedback I've overhauled both Campaign 14 - Hostile Takeover and the final Campaign 19 - Regenesis. I've decided to rework the final mission making it much smoother and more challenging and am very happy with how it turned out. Here is a few changes this update brings:

• Campaign 14 - Hostile Takeover completely overhauled
• Final Campaign - Re-Genesis majorly overhauled
• Final Cinematic - Revelation improved and reworded with new story information
• All green temperate tree's remade
• and more! (Read the download description.)

Veteran Upgrades to base defenses

Base defenses may now be promoted to veteran once they defeat a certain cost of enemies. I was concerned at the possible balance issues caused by this so their over effectiveness will not be as great as when a unit becomes promoted. They do receive a slight visual upgrade when they are promoted and can now self repair, though at a slower rate than the manual repair structure.

Multiplayer / Skirmish

There have been some major changes to custom matches and fighting against AI with the addition of multiple factory bonus option, tree targeting, and a more balanced AI wit the option of Hardcore Mode. The Harcore AI option when selected will test the player with a challanging AI that will attack you with greater force and speed than ever before, challange at your own risk.

Other Features:

There are many other changes such as new laser effects, rebalanced units, new skirmish maps such as the remaking of the classic Casey's Canyon, and EMP effects now damage targets that are effected. All these new changes will ensure a enjoyable experience to both new and veteran players!
