Using DrX's desolation mod as a basis, the zone is reforged, not as a radiated tourist arena of never ending gunfights, but rather a no man's land stalked by mutated terrors and hardened killers. The two biggest changes between this version and the previous compliation, is the higher difficulty, and the lower count of NPC's in the game world.
Some Mods, brillant as they are, have you wandering the zone controlling a painfully slow chronically obesse man, who couldn't make a dollar selling solid bars of gold because of the trade rate, this mod gives you a deadly starting gun (they all get the job done) and a swift pair of legs, its your choice to use either, or some combination of both. That all said, even though the complilation leans towards trying to 'realisticficate' certain elements of the game, the core principle of COC being fun and statisfying are king, here, reality does take a back seat to entertainment. The compilation offers changing alliances, a dynamic newsfeed, dynamic mutant spawning (based on DrX's work, it scales with your experience), NPC's that actually travel the zone, mutants that hunt and attack each other (a custom edit), a useful torch, upgradable binoculars (life detection is a final stage upgrade), the need to eat, benefits provided by sleep, and even the ability to ignite and extinguish camp fires in friendly locations. Most of the custom changes are there to provide better gunplay, (increasing both damage levels and NPC health and immunities), allow for a more liberal stealth system, provide better starting equipment choices (using a variation of TRX's new start addon), and finally improving on looting and trading dyanmics to reduce in game grinding (trading is more profitable, but higher costs across the board, mean you will have to spend your hard earned loot).īetter atmosphere, better immersion, better than reality. They are simply not included to ensure the game runs smoothly, and to keep the download from being too large. Addons such as 'Structures and Environment REDUX' should be compatiable, as should any files that only add Textures. Smurth's dynamic HUD (now fully working!), repolished original weapons (OWR) and the basis of 'Autumnal Winds' are the only graphical upgrades. And to provide a stable compilation of compatiable mods in a single modest download. The idea behind this mod is to provide a range of improvements that remove or mitigate some of the more unpolished aspects of COC (1.4.22).
