I want to do RA2 and RA2: YR

1) Timeline, it would take far too long.
2) Story was pathetic, most C&C fans will tell you this for free.
3) It would just complicate things farther, parts of this mod will be easy to do, others, who knows...
If a RA mod will be done, it should be about RA1 and maybe Aftermath and Counterstrike, but not more, IMHO. RA2 is just too exaggerated. It's not like the Tiberian series, which actuall has a fairly good story line and not too stupid units.
'Soviet Block' nations are all pupet states. I know it, I'm from Hungary.
There were only a small neutral states in the game, and Germany was Allied at the beginning, but was mostly fast taken by Soviet troops.

I played a Playstation port of RA (expansions?), and the 'Ukraine' was Romania.
Also, Switzerland and Portugal (?) were neutral until the Allies hid the Chronosphere there.

I don't play consoles, are you talking about RA1? or something else??Rocketman said:
Yea I want to do RA1. I think the Finnish would of fought so maybe thier is a little war between the two or something. We could just do the whole treaty of Munich situation and just have them be annexed without war though.
RA2 and Yuri's Revenge were very fun games. Lets stray away from Chronospheres and Iron Curtians in this.
Poland should be soviet-puppet in the beginning, but when the war is about to break out, there should be a rebellion in poland and the soviet army should intervene.
'iron-fist' strategy by the Soviets: this means the people only try to rebel if there are also Allied troops present. In game, the soviet regime is MUCH more stable, and not many try to rebel against it.kami888 said:
I agree
So, is it a RA2 and RA2:YR Scenario too or?
I can work on that by myself if it's ok, ofcourse extra manpower is welcome here

I'm pretty sure that's what happens in the first Soviet mission. Allied special forces back a Polish uprising.
As I said, they will rebel if there are Allied forces, but only then...maybe we give extra troops to Allies then?Shonison said:
Some ideas.
Don't forget to put von Esling as a German chief of staff, Stavros as the Greek chief of staff, Kane as the Soviet intelligence minister (Dismal Enigma; and I suggest he not have a picture and be represented as an "unknown" shadow), and Tanya as a highly skilled leader (with Commando attributes).
The Allies need a "Rescue of Albert Einstein" event early on, for the first level in Red Alert; after this the Allied nations could use the Albert Einstein armaments minister (Theoretical Scientist; he's already listed as a Swiss minister) and tech team.
The early Soviet uprising might be better depicted with a partisan revolt in one of the provinces.
As per the game, the Soviets should also probably have most or all of the nuclear blueprints; maybe even the double nuke production trigger.
Also as per game, an AI_event should make the Soviets declare war on Switzerland if they are more or less dominating Europe.
Japan probably doesn't have to be changed very much; perhaps the Co-Prosperity "Sphere" can replace the Axis alliance.
If the Soviets win, there should probably be a civil war between them and the Brotherhood of Nod (see the Soviet game ending). If the Allies win, the Brotherhood of Nod should probably start appearing in parts of Africa and Eastern Europe, as per the original Command and Conquer. Nod should, naturally, have core claims on the entire world.
I like the idea of a buildup that gives the Soviets most of the land they had prior to Red Alert:
-Maybe a "Treaty of Munich" that grants them Bessarabia, Eastern Poland, and parts of Finland. Romania and Poland would probably yield, but Finland would fight, and the Soviet A.I. would be altered to try to conquer everything in the Winter War instead of settling for peace.
-Then, a Communist coup could be staged in Poland to grant union with the Soviets, and this would be the point the Allies offer Germany alliance membership and the ability to rearm. Perhaps at this time, the Soviets could also gain their cores on Estonia, Latvia, and Lithania to be demanded whenever.
-The brink of war could be when the Soviets, now controlling Poland, demand East Prussia from Germany. It could be called "East Prussia or War (Last Chance for Peace)".

We'll need to have events that put all of the Allies under the human player's military control.
I remember playing Red Alert many years ago and I loved it
I'll be glad to help in any way I can (modding, research etc)..
Who's in charge? And give me an assignment and I'll help you guys..

Lets stick to Red Alert 1.
Lets have all of the post WW1 lands to keep it historic, we dont have to follow the story line greatly but I would like it starting out with Soviets crush Polish rebellion and Allies rescue Einstien. Maybe if this is a scenario the Allies just count as one single nation or maybe not. Maybe the Soviets take Poland and the Allies and Soviets are on the brink of war and fearing the Soviets the Allies support Polish rebels?
I am not good with map design but I could help with events and ideas. Maybe we can name our mod "Red Dawn" insted of Red Alert(you know..... Red Alert was Westwood's creation, we are just using ideas).
