The United States Army Modification for Emergency 4 1. CONCEPT The United States Army Mod is a modification for Emergency 4 and based on the presence of the US military in a Middle-Eastern region. It's a freeplay focused mod and your task is to carry out events from your base with small taskforces. 2. MAP The map is fictional, but based on a rural, Middle-Eastern region. It features a functional army base from where you will have to start each event. The map features a town as well as a bigger rural area, including a refugee camp, a ravine and smaller populated areas. 3. EVENTS The US Army mod features freeplay style gameplay in a neverending gamemode. The mod contains new, unique and challanging events and only one event will spawn at a time. The events range from finding and deactivating IED's to providing humantarian aid and most events contain random elements to create unpredictability and enhance replayability. By completing events you will earn points which can be spent om development, and money what can be spend on new units. 4. POINTS The most unique feature of this modification is the development tree. The development tree contains 10 different items which will add small advantages to the game. Choose your development carefully, as it takes time to complete development and gaining points can be difficult, especially if you start losing units. 5. UNITS The mod contains several playable military vehicles and persons. Each unit has at least one unique feature, which will make them important and valuable. You can buy recruits ingame and train them as a soldier, medic, engineer, sniper, fire fighter or spec ops. You will start the game with an Army Commander, who is able to call in assistance from local emergency services, such as local police, ems and fire department by using his radio. There will be only one available commander per game, so make sure to protect him well! 6. INTERFACE Because the mod only features a handful of units, some interface elements have been redesigned. The window where the buttons to the vehicle browsers used to be, has been replaced. This window contains buttons to purchase vehicles or recruits, a button to open the development tree, a button to open gameplay options. The window also shows information about the current active event and the points you currently own. 7.
