Okay, so due to the feedback that you have all posted. I've made some changes. You can find the latest download link in the OP. It'll be updated per change. This should hopefully fix most of the issues that are present. Please test and post feedback on the latest build.

Here's a quick change log:
  • Fixed AI + Player Colours
  • Improved AI drops and cleaned up AI bases
  • Removed Cybran Land Patrol from Base 3 to improve movement
  • Removed ASF from attacks that are focused on trucks.
  • Added a delay for the truck spawn (Player has to defend facility for a maximum of 2 minutes before trucks spawn).
  • Added objective that allows you to move on in the mission if you successfully destroy Cybran force after failing the timer objective.
  • Added a truck counter to the LZ objective (You can now view your progress).
  • Removed random Cybran teleport.
  • Increased Objective 2 timer by 5 minutes.
  • Fixed AI attack priorities in Objective 3.
  • Added bonus objectives.

Thank you again for all of the feedback. Please post more feedback from the updated mission. This should rectify most issues (link for mission can be found in OP).

Played it again, noticed a couple things. First, not sure if the southern enemy base still stacks units in phase 2, but it does in phase 3. Too tired to check the replay.

Second thing, Jerrax seems somewhat suicidal in phase three. I've found him in most of my games hanging out near the NE edge of his base, SE of the sourthern jammer location.

Third thing, Jerrax is still immortal if one decides to not do the secondary objective of killing him and instead construct the quantum gateway, which causes him to tp next to you (and unless if you are in the pond or he completely derps, you die).

Overall, mission felt better than last time, not exactly sure why though :D GJ.

Suggestions: I think speed2 had some code regarding AI nuke usage that it would target the place with the highest mass concentration, could be useful, especially if multiple people are playing the map (I might be wrong though). Since Jerrax has a big base (I assume he has a decent eco as well, I haven't exactly looked), he could make experimentals/arty and use them to attack the player(s) if they choose to stick around. Maybe the experimentals already on the map could attack at some point as well. Finally, maybe you want to rethink Jerrax' teleport thingy. Could have him choose some other target than the acu or in the very least let him teleport out (currently he just starts walking back to his base).

I forgot to mention one thing in the last post. Upon entering the quantum gateway (thus ending the mission) HQ congratulates the player on a job well etc. but the line is shown twice.

I played the mission with FxT_Black_Master, I died and then we could still control the units but the enemy did not attack.

Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.

Hi, thank you again for the amazing feedback everyone. Unfortunately, I can't find any errors in your logs provided. I will investigate issues that have been raised and do some more AI changes to improve the mission overall. Hopefully that should fix some things up.

I have a new version up with more improvements for you all.

I cannot work out what is causing the expansion to fail when playing with 4 people, there are no errors in logs that have been provided. I also ran a test with myself and 3 AI characters (which causes 4 ACUs to spawn) and it worked fine. If this issue starts reproducing often, I will investigate further. For now I have concluded that it's nothing to be concerned about as of yet. The mission now ends, it no longer plays the winning dialogue twice.

I've changed the drops for the second part of the mission to stop transports flying over the civilian base with no units on-board. As suggested previously, I have removed the direct teleport when a quantum gate is constructed. The Cybran Commander now targets random structures instead of the player ACU directly. I've also removed some code that caused him to become invincible when he warped. He's now prone to death like the rest of us.

Some attacks have been added whilst the truck delay is active to encourage the player to defend the facility whilst the trucks are being loaded (I don't want the mission to get boring).

For future versions, I plan on adding some more attacks to each AI and using more functions available to make it feel more like a mission that GPG would release. Thank you to all of you that provided logs and additional feedback, it has helped develop the final stages of this mission. Let's hope that this brings it to a playable state that's suitable for release.

In the next couple of weeks, I will be making a start on a new mission for a rebel campaign that I have planned, so keep your eyes out. For now, if you wish to test or play this mission, you can find it in the original post like before.

Land units still continue stacking at the entrance of the southern enemy base in phase 2. Image
(image right after I destroyed the jammer.)

The three monkeylords patrolling around Jerrax' main base can get stuck at the southern base. Image

I'm not sure but you may need to rework Jerrax' teleporting. He teleported right next to ~15 percivals that were in his base. Image

EDIT: Fixed the images. (I'm a dummy.)

Thanks again for the feedback!

Jerrax has been coded to teleport to these categories: LAND FACTORY, LAND UNITS, NOT WALLS OR COMMANDER. So it could be random. The MLs are on patrol, due to the terrain it's quite likely they will get stuck like that. The land unit build up is likely due to a lesser amount of transports doing the work. I will push an update soon to make it build more or possibly spawn more when the base is created. A few easy fixes will clear it up.
