Super Weapons

In Yuri’s Revenge, there is very little you can do to change or add to the existing super weapons – most super weapon-related features are hard-coded to only work as designed for the original super weapons. Ares, however, includes several new ways to customize existing super weapons as well as several wholly new super weapons.

Note

You cannot change a super weapon’s Type= or Action= values in any of the game mode specific INI files (like mpfreeforallmd.ini) or map files. To achieve the same effect, add a new super weapon to rulesmd.ini with the different Type= or Action= and change SuperWeapon= for the respective owner buildings to use the new super weapon in the INI file instead.
