CNC Zero Hour

games like dow,coh,starcraft,etc have tiers. click the button usually located in the hq command bar to go to the next higher tier. afterwards you are able to build more powerful units/buildings/upgrades

but can you talk of tiers in zh? where does tier1/2/3/4 start? what about special tiers of the different factions...or is zh so unique you cant categorize anything in this game? I just want to have some consistency in this mess and wanna know which units/upgrds etc you can assign to which technology level to compare them with each other throughout all factions...hope you understand what I mean

I guess you'd just describe post prop/strat/palace tier 2 and everything before tier 1.

tier one: before strat-/propaganda center/palace
tier two: after strat-/propaganda center/palace

jinx!

nukemigs might go to tier three

Why? You can build them once you have an airfield...unless you mean the upgrade but then I think it still belongs to tier 2.

I was thinking of classing Nuke Missile upgrades as T3, but wouldn't that make Black Market upgrades T3 as well? There's a huge difference in how easy it is to access those upgrades, even though the prerequisite is the same (one building after Prop/Palace).

interesting views...but I rather thought its like:

tier1 = rax
tier2 = wf/af
tier3 = strat/prop/palace
tier4 = sdz, inet center, blackmarket (+ upgrades), particle, scudstorm, nukesilo (+upgrades)

I know kinda hard to differentiate these things

I thought exactly the same lol.


I had this in mind as well but I don't see the wf as a special tier. Especially not if you would compare this to DoW...

There are no tiers. There are just prerequisites which works way better.

1. pre-tech
2. post-tech
3. 5th genpoint/SW spam
