This page serves as what I perceive to be what the community would like in 1.09.

Mutator Clone.

All attempts to create mutation clones using other superweapon logics has resulted in neutral mutations, due to the fact that the actual superweapon is unowned. As a result, I and at least 1 other person would like a clone of the Genetic Mutator Superweapon (as you did say you will try to clone 1 superweapon per version).

Completed 4th side logic.

Your efforts to add an extra side to the game have made some progress, however, there are a lot of things still missing. There is a checklist on the Status page showing what has and hasn't been cloned, and I believe there are also links to the documents i wrote back when you first started the process. Features I would very much like in 1.09 are disguise, paradrop, and EVA, although there are a lot more things to be done for it.

More Player Colours in Skirmish/MP menu.

Something PD did a while ago was to allow customisable colours to be displayed on the skirmish menu using new [MenuColors] section. How about a new [ColorsInMenu] section where these point to the colours, in order, that appear on the menu, replacing the existing ones and adding more. [MenuColors] will need to be the same length.

Breaking Unit Quantity Limits.

Currently CnCVK has increased the number of units you can build with a sane AI from 102 to 200. i sugest increasing this limit to 250. Also, you can only have 74 units per tab, and more and it will lock up the game. I suggest increasing this limit as high as it can easily go, AKA 255(byte limit). (Important Post on the subject.)

New Prerequisite System.

This includes NegativePrerequisite= where anything on this tag that exists causes the object containing this tag to be unbuildable. AlternatePrerequisite#= basicly a few of these lines that list alternate Template:TTL lines, if any of these lines including the original Template:TTL gets all its objects listed owned by the player, then this object will become buildable(An alternate name for the tag could be Prerequisite2= and a few more). PrerequisiteMisc##=, 100 clones of PrerequisitePower= to allow several buildings to be placed on here, allowing a "any building on this list" condition, such as the already existing "Any Power Plant" "Any Ore Refinery" "Any Tech Centre" and so on conditions. However, a slightly easier way to use this system would be a list such as

[NewGlobalPrerequisites]

AlliedFactories=GAWEAP,EAWEAP

SovietFactories=NAWEAP,VAWEAP

YuriFactories=YAWEAP,PAWAEP

CDAFactories=TAWEAP,RAWEAP

AlliedBarracks=GAPILE,EABRCK

SovietBarracks=NAHAND,VABRCK

YuriBarracks=YABRCK,PABRCK

CDABarracks=TABRCK,RABRCK

CNST=GACNST,NACNST,YACNST,TACNST,EACNST,VACNST,PACNST,RACNST

YARD=GAYARD,NAYARD,YAYARD,TAYARD,EAYARD,VAYARD,PAYARD,RAYARD

DEPT=GADEPT,NADEPT,YAGRND,TADEPT

TECHA=GATECHA,NATECHA,YATECHA,TATECHA

CDAHighTech=TALLAB,TAFLAB,TASLAB

Then using Prerequisite=AlliedFactories would mean GAWEAP or EAWEAP. this is simular to how [Sides], [Colors] and PD's [MousePointers] works, it also makes it easier for the modder because they don't have to remember what upto 100 different numbers mean.

Sensors on buildings.

Currently, there is no way at all to add sensors to a building, unless you use the veteran abilities system, which relies on the building getting promoted. PD added the Cloakable=yes tag to buildings. he also said it should be easy to add Sensors too. I mention something about it in this post.

More Weapons

A 3rd and 4th weapon for Units, buildings and whatever using tags Tertiary=, EliteTertiary=, Quaternary=, and EliteQuaternary=. it was also hoped that a VeteranPrimary= and VeteranSecondary= might be added, which means also a VeteranTertiary= and VeteranQuaternary=

More Promotion Stages

This includes at least 2 more promotion stages, such as promotion after elite. 2 ideas for defaults were Prime and Master, other ideas were also suggested, these will be my reference names though. This would also include PrimeAbilities= and MasterAbilities= to go along with VeteranAbilities= and EliteAbilities=. This would also like a PrimePrimary=, PrimeSecondary=, MasterPrimary= and MasterSecondary=, along with a hoped VeteranPrimary= and VeteranSecondary=. Assuming the weapons are also increased in number, this would also want PrimeTertiary=, MasterTertiary=, PrimeQuaternary=, and MasterQuaternary=.
