Description
Changes, changes..
Many missions, so many revamps.
Easy got easier, and was renamed to Casual.
Mental.. not so much! Quite the opposite.

Difficulty adjustment is good, some of the missions were too easy on Mental. Each Mental mission should feel like Singularity, or at least close to it.
Madman. And there is me who considers Singularity (and some other lovalmidas' missions) too hard even on easy.
Why rename Easy to Casual? Your Easy was already pretty tough as far as RTS easy modes go, unless you're transforming it into a story mode-type minimal AI resistance mode, this rename sounds counterproductive.
Scenario difficulties will be referred to as Casual/Normal/Mental while AI difficulties will stay as Easy/Medium/Hard. Missions have much more changes depending on difficulty, not just the AI level. There's also a Mental boost for the AI in skirmish, so Hard was never truly equal to Mental, thus I decided to split the two difficulty scales.
Also yes, the lowest difficulty is in fact going for a 'Casual' feeling with the changes to maps.
As an actual casual RTS player that plays for fun and adores your mod for lore and visual style - I thank you for this.
So there will be 2 difficulty sliders? Play Casual with Hard AI & Mental with Easy AI? Or is the AI difficulty remains in Skirmish?
Oh, that makes sense, different naming conventions for different game settings.
Casual like in the C&C remake? Or oldschool RTS ''Casual'''?
I see the Soviets no longer own the Medical Outpost, looks like it's the "Tech Medical Outpost".
It's a Soviet Medic Bunker now.
Is Mental Omega standalone, or do I need Yuri's Revenge to play it?
It is not standalone, you need 7 files from Yuri's Revenge to play it.
Here are the instructions: Mentalomega.com
Wait, you mean they are just like Soviet Battle Bunkers but with the same effect as in the Drakuv and the Apocalypse?
And is it Campaign-only or also for Skirmish?
Medic Bunkers are campaign-only.
I like how the gates resemble GDI's from Tiberian Sun.
Are the vanilla Tesla Troopers still in this mod? Because, I saw some Shock Troopers in this revamp mission.
Idk, if the Shock Troopers are exclusive to Russia as a replacement for Tesla Troopers just like the Chinese Eradicator.
Also what are those brown colored conscripts?
Shock Troopers are exclusive to Russia, Tesla Trooper is for the others.
Brown colored ones seem to be prisoners.
