I found a lot of scenes from the movies and some fan art, so isn't a problem.
Better to ask permission first - likely his answer will be that the images are copyrighted to the Terminator franchise owners since they paid for his work.
The resistance gathered its best forces to assault the complex and destroy the Skynet core. Skynet detected the preparations and set a trap. When the resistance broke through the perimeter, the machines deployed a large force and counterattacked, catching the resistance forces between a hammer and an anvil. The resistance was able to hold off the counterattackers until Cheyenne Mountain was secured but at a great cost. It is a bit similar to the radio signal to shutdown Skynet on T4.
At a certain point in design I considered placing the Skynet Core on North America right on Cheyenne Mountain and fortify the region so that the player would need to get some proper defense tech before placing any bases there (they'd be destroyed in a matter of days/weeks in retaliation attacks). I dropped this idea because it made everything more predictable and not knowing the location of the Core will be a challenge when placing bases.
What I'd be interested at this point would be for you to write just a paragraph for each generic sector descriptions. And then, when I finish the regions will be a matter of using that template to create the different reports for each sector.
And this is what I've written so far about the background story. The timeline is set around the first movie, before the first terminator is sent. So far I haven't mentioned John Connor at all because of my plans on how the story will progress.
I'm not using any specific reference - I love Christopher Shield's site and his descriptions of the tech, weapons, etc., but I've steered clear of using any of the historical events he describes, and I'm just creating stuff as it is needed, like the Graveyard Airforce.
I have another thing in mind regarding Russian AIs, called 'Death Hand' or 'Perimeter' system, but this will be a part of the storyline, so it won't be revealed in the sector reports.
I understand why "Maginot" and "Great Wall", they were impenetrable fortresses. But, why "Astra"? It's any type of AI?I have a lot of ideas about the general universe, but I haven't written them all down. There's some info in the intro (which is currently a visual mess) but tomorrow I'll compile it all in a document and share it with you.
I like tamales even better

If you'd like to help with writing, what I'd need right now would be for a single paragraph description of each sector to use in their Intelpedia articles.
That site really has some awesome images, thanks for the link.
Just added your more recent images and they're looking pretty good. I've been working to finish the regions, been taking longer than expected but I should release 0.29 in the next days.
To properly credit the original authors, and/or if necessary ask for permission to use them in the mod. There are a lot of fan images around the internet and I don't like to steal other people's work.
If your models were based directly on the HKs found in the movies, then it's not necessary
Yes, Skynet will send missions against targets located on those cities, like civilians or resistance forces.Oh, just like a Terror Site!
Very nice, now I'd only wish that the sprites on the tactical missions looked the same.
Did you get those images from any particular site?
City ruins, most of them nuked during Judgment Day or devastated afterwards by the fighting against the machines. But the ruins are also very useful for humans and the resistance to hide in them from Skynet.Oh, I see. They are any missions in those cities?
And a little update...
efrenespartano's updated craft sprites have been added and are looking great, but it will still be a couple of days before I release a new version, but it will contain several major additions, including the whole Earth being playable and the strategic level will definitely look different.
Here's a little teaser of what's to come.
These will be Sector comm reports. At start you'll have 1 for each sector, in a total of 23, that you can research to get tips on the areas more likely to encounter HK activity on the sector.
Cool, just added your sprites and they're looking pretty good, specially the craft weapons.
All extra images are added in extraSprites.rul and you assign them to HKs in ufos.rul
There's already an Interwin image for the HK but I didn't use it - it's included in \Resources\Craft\ as hangar.png
One question - the Mohawk reminds me of the Ornithoper in Dune 2. Is that a coincidence?

You can see all the ruleset files in \mods\TechCom\Ruleset\ . The ones you're looking for are extraSprites.rul, ufopedia.rul and craftWeapons.rul
