I could do that by modding but I'm talking about Elites and marines. I suppose I could hide a marine in there.

Eh. it was just supposed to be a name, but that would be cool too. Just hide 1 councilor in a bunch of ultras'. Would be nice, but I don't know how "massive" of this army is or the variety in it.

Oh. Well thanks then. I'll use that. :)

It's massive enough to overload Great Journey and make ghost Spectres.

And the best part is, it can be done without modding. I can't say if 4 Hunters are necessary but if you have 2 Spectres, then it should be possible.

I thought this army was imaginary! I feel so special to be included in this supposed epic army.

Damn I just spent exactly 3 hours, 43 minutes, 17 seconds organizing my army for their betrayal, setting up 4 waves comprised of exactly 43 Elites (and I had to replace Rtas Vadum who was meant to be the substitute boss since Tartarus disappeared but disappeared with Tartarus) only to get assassinated by a sword wielder before the battle could even begin!! Giving them the sword was a terrible mistake.

A while back I spent about 3 hours hauling 30 OS Ghosts back to the IWHBYD so all the Elites could get in. When I was hauling the last few I got to the courtyard and halve the previous Ghosts I put there before. Can't get 28 Elites into 17 Ghosts, that's for sure.

Well that sucks. Did you cross a loading point? When I was trying to bring Spectres to the blown up door, during one of my experiments, when I left them behind at the cliff (before going down to the beach) and triggered a loading point (IIRC), when I came back, they were gone.

Also, were the Ghosts already occupied? If they were, maybe that's why. That ghost Spectre I mentioned on jumprs was the result of leaving 4 Elites (including Rtas) in it and then they disappeared (I don't remember if they disappeared at the same time as Tartarus) and it will be shown tomorrow. It's spooky because the hatch is closed, the driver's seat lights are on, but no one's on it. 0_0

Anyways, here's a preview (it's actually me showing my collection before the fight, which lasted less than 10 seconds) showing that my claim is real. I didn't spawn any AI by modding (I can do that in CE, but not in H2 Vista). Nor did I spawn swords by modding (some spawned with them, most I got from Zealots and from dead Elites at the Tartarus battle).

I was hauling the Ghosts into the courtyard for the fight. I have hauled Ghosts into that area off and on for years. There's safe areas where the Ghosts will usually not deload but not always. You must pass 2 loadzones several times each while transporting the Ghosts but 90% of the time if I set them in the safe areas they will stay. Just one of those things and I either rage or just sit there staring blankly at the screen.

What if you put them between the 2 loading points?

In CE's AotCR, for getting Hunters and a Zealot for the twin bridges megabattle, I would put them between 2 loading points and they never disappeared or froze.

Well you're not the only one. I've raged countless times.
