Contra is a freeware modification for Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour real-time strategy game and one of the first mods for this game. It adds many new units as well as numerous new upgrades, new general's powers and buildings. It also adds new sounds, maps, bug fixes, enhanced graphics, and other effects, as well as three new generals.
Chemical generals Poisoner got brand new visuals, as well as additional ability.
Thanks to improved armor, new dozer like model fits him well.
He also got additional ability to deploy/build toxin barrels into the ground which are triggered when enemy unit comes near. Just like demo trap, chemical barrel will explode and deal toxin damage only.
This will help when fighting swarm of infantry units, as we all know, Toxin pumps are barely used because they require much micro with workers and are cleaned easily.
Poisoner still benefits from salvage upgrades, as well as Anthrax Gamma upgrade.
Nice idea to add old Toxin Tractor new role of "mine layer".
.
the heavily coloured barrels look quite cool but the team colour is too small and hard to notice now.
it should be the other way around.
We may experiment with less saturated barrel texture colors.
Glad to hear it. While I do like the purple barrels they are VERY bright.
Render is also affected by light settings in 3dsMax which is very different than actual game, also, renders are additionally improved in Photoshop to emphasize details.
