no. You cant host 2 featured mods at the same time. However, the structure of nomads requires its own init file and thus has to be a featured mod. So for now, we cant release it as a normal mod and thus it cant be played together with phantom-X.

However: you can either make a standalone phantom-mod which doesnt require its own init file (i.e. can be put in the mod vault) and then play the featured mod "nomads" and add this mod as well. The only change in the lobby (that I am aware of) for phantom is to add the "random - no UEF" option.
OR: convice a majority that nomads would be a great thing to integrate into standard FAF which would make them automatically available in phantom as well (currently its not yet ready for that though, there are some more bugs that need to be fixed first).
Check out the next level of maps: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=13014
For adaptivity, customizability and less clutter in the vault.

I know I can't host it now what I meant was would it be possible to allow us to host games with 2 featured mods at once (that are compatible of course, I haven't check but don't see why phantom would interfere with nomads).

Just noticed BRNK is playing phantom with nomads.
So it looks like you can use some old phantom mod and it seems to work decently?

They used

I've played one game, and realised I will need to play a lot more before I can give you guys a good couple of replays haha.

What's the radar thing? It's a button in the top left, I clicked it and then I got green circles around my radars on the battlefield, and I was able to click in those circles, but nothing seemed to happen? Is there a Nomads guide somewhere? Probably on the wiki ...

Heads off to wiki

[update]: can't seem to find anything straight away.
I'm watching you!

This will be reworked, when is something in state that people are asking what that aplication do that mean it is in bad state. Will like to hear all other think that you ask yourself what it is and for what its there.

When i, (or someone else from team) will get some time then it will work as continual buff of radar that will drain much more energy but provide higerer range of radar. Nomads radar will whiteout this toggle drain 100% energy and providing (probably) 75% range compare to other radars and with toggle on drain +50% energy and have +50% randar range. So will be worst and best radar depend on player eco.

How it work now is meh:
Spoiler: show
When you click on toggle it start chaneling and after some time (that is diferent on every radar) while it continuesly drain energy it get radar boost what is +50% radar range, and decline after X second (what is diferent for every radar unit). On time when its owercharging it have EMP death weapon. So yeah big owercomplicate mesh that none can intuitive understand how it work and is perfectly ussles have radar fox X second when then it declay


About units and your lovely rewiev please w8 a day/3/4 for new patch that will bring lot of balance updates.

They already are pretty awesome - kinda like all factions together - many hover units (sera), some tanky units (UEF), some very versatile ones (Cybran), often there is 1 unit per task (cough Aeon cough)
Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.
