Hi guys, I made a small test map for a custom unit that I also made - The Terran Rhino APC, which can lay spider mines and transport up to 4 Marines. (or 2 Marauders) It is buildable at a factory, and uses the Colonist Transport (Agria)/Dominion APC (mission 1) model. The Diamondback is also buildable. This is only a test map and as a result, is incomplete, as is the unit.
However, the unit does have sounds, a portrait and a wireframe! The sounds and portrait are that of the Hercules...Seeing as how I believe it was the most fitting one. The build icon is missing because none was provided in the game, unfortunately.
If you want to use this unit in a map or mod, feel free to do so! If you credit me, I will definitely appreciate it, but it is not absolutely necessary (seeing as how I only did some really simple changes to make the unit).
I may still work on it or even include it with my "Wings of Liberty enhanced mod", which is a mod that adds a few new units to the multiplayer portion of the game and which I will allow anyone to modify and use in their maps. (and is bound to be imba, hehe)

And yes, there are a few issues with the map, but I'm working it out...Just wanted to post this map up before going to sleep.
Still, enjoy, and I await your feedback.
- Mineral and Vespene cost for new units is doubled.
- Victory dialogue at the beginning due to lack of a controller for player 2 (to avoid getting attacked by the units already on the map at start)
- The APC unloads one unit at a time. (This is due to using the bunker's load/unload ability)
- New units do not benefit from vehicle armor and weapon upgrades.
- Diamondback does not require the Tech Lab to be built.
- Inside the Terran unit list under the help menu, the unit's model keeps resizing after selecting another unit from the list
- There is a display bug with the Fog of War on the map.
EDIT: I do expect the unit to feel a bit useless at the moment, so any suggestions are welcome.![]()
