Hey, while I was browsing around the British Isles map, I noticed a car in a ditch, oddly enough it was named "
The Copeland Mobile" and had a resource value of 5.

I'm wondering if this is a new find, or just old news. Anyway, going to go back into my game. I've got a territory to conquer.

Edit: Ahah.

This is probably an easter egg of that person.

Quite old actually. Also there are a number of Copeland mobiles on almost every single map, to the point where it became a tradition for a few designers (myself included) to add it in custom maps as well.

SCC-PG commented on it before, it was one of his old cars. I had one Cope on each of my fan maps too, mostly in ridiculous scenarios (one cope was enshrined on an altar, another was standing on water, another was at the bottom of a river).

I had also tried (and failed) to mod the unit into a capturable vehicle (like the capturable structures), the code didn't work on units and I never found out why.

Well, I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday. Guess I'll keep my eye out for them on the other maps. Thanks for your replies.
