After EA abandoned the game and red alert 3 began to die off, we finally decided to make a mod to try and fix the imbalances of the game and make it a bit more fun. This isnt a total conversion, it doesnt add new sides, it doesnt drastically change the game. Instead it attempts to fix whats wrong with red alert 3, its by no means perfect, but we hope its a step in the right direction to making RA3 more enjoyable and alive again

Please try the mod out, especially online with others, and tell us what you think

Actually don't worry about it, I found it, it's in AttributeModifier.xml. For anyone who's interested, look for "AttributeMod_AlliedPrismAttackBoost".
Could you get him to post how you guys did the Cryo nerf against harvesters though? It looks like the cryo damage isn't affected by damage scalars.

Hello mate, ive just updated my HDD and all the code is on my old hard drive/external backup so once ive transferred it all back over ill try and remember to let you know, sorry Ive left this mod so dead, life unfortunately leaves little time for modding anymore :< Hopefully ill eventualy get the time/remember to put all the code and art files up for download so hopefully people can get something out of it :) I think it was some kind of special damage nugget or a resistance I put into the actual collector xml, it was years ago though to be fair and my memory is pretty terrible. Like I say though I will hopefully get round to letting you know :) sorry i cant be more helpful

I have a request for anyone who decides to take up working on this, if at all possible...
Put in a way to disable super/ultimate weapon structures, or a way to disable the ultimate weapons at any rate.

It's rather sad when a match against the AI, of all things, is cut to this 10 minute (tops) rush run because the AI thinks it necessary to try to spam ultimate weapons...

Honestly, I find that a constant in most RTS games any more. It all comes down to whoever can deploy their ultimate unit (A la CNC 3 KW MARV, Redeemer, Eradicator Hexapod) or superweapons first (Ion Cannons, Nukes, Rift generators)... after that, they drop a bunch of defenses and hold off everyone while they nuke the hell out of you.
