Some features i am very proud of (beside our new units), are:
[] pop up turrets that unpack if enemies are in sight and repack if enemies are outside their range (or they cant shoot them). This is what GPG told us, the aeons would have and never included it.
[] more realistic gameplay including slower vehicle speeds for big units and faster projectile speeds for most weapons.
[] i just fixed a very bad bug which lets land units in FA get stuck and not movable at all.
[] explosions with flying metal parts, fire plumes and a lot more (no comparison to the other versions before and even these were much better than in FA).
[]a lot more you have to find out in game or on the website:

important:
all these effects and new grafical changes come to the cost of performance. So you will have slightly less frames per second (net speed will be the same). In my tests i had about 500 points less with activated mod in the perftest with a E6300 @3ghz 8800gts640 and 4gb ram.
Ok, enough talk for now, download it and enjoy!
