An expansion/overhaul mod of epic proportions, with entirely rebalanced gameplay, expanded factions, new gametypes, graphical overhauls, and five new factions; stealth-based Confederate Revolutionaries, tower defense-inspired Atomic Kingdom of China, economy-focused Mediterranean Syndicate, DotA-esque Order of the Talon and spammy Electrical Protectorate.
We've been busy little buggers for the last little while, and here is a sample of our work, specifically what we've got going for the Confederate Revolutionaries. They have the beginnings of a base, with the Vehicle Warehouse and the Power Plant (Please note those are two power plants in the shot; we've arranged them so you can get that Advanced Power Plant look if you want) along with a defensive Turret.
Of course, a base is only worth the sum of what it produces, so say hello to the M4 Beagle and all new Austf B Mastiff tanks! Fight tyrrany and oppression with style with these refurbished 15 year old fighting machines!
The Beagle comes standard with a fuel injector for those extra bursts of speed, and a three-round burst 30mm multipurpose cannon, while the Mastiff brings to the table an 88mm cannon and a small machine-gun turret, with optional autoloader!
(Warning : Vehicles may explode when shot)
The warehouse, the turret and the power plant really look like... RA1 style. Was it intentional?
Nope, it was a complete accident :P
The Confederates have hijacked and use all the old RA1 technology. The Beagle is the light tank, the Mastiff the medium tank. Though they have their own unit tech as well, the core of their army is salvaged World War 2 vehicles.
Cool, progress is good I see. Especially like medium tank (mastiff?)
Although the smoke from the power plants is off centered in this shot...
and sorry about the other comment...
I dealt with it. Gotta keep those comments in line...
Ya, the smoke is weird. We'll be fixing it soon.
thx, and can I suggest posibly chsnging all smoke to make it more, well smoke like, not just RA3's gray circles...
the bricks are a bit too bright.Other than that,good job
thats just that pic but they are a tiny bit
turrets are great. i like that RA1 style
awesome work.
i really like the Mastiff.
Err ... sorry if it's obvious, but what's that white at the bottom right of the screen?
its a motorbike object from the vRa3 ;)
This is awesome. Great job.
This is what's cool about you guys, if we don't hear from you in a while it's because you've been working at an update like this!
... Good work! Its awesome work with building textures, they really look like they are salvaged and many times repaired! Great!!!
But I dont see very well a Mastiff as a details, only a grey/brown/yellow model of non-defined tank. Mastiff is salvaged German Tiger tank?
And Beagle still needs some more dirt on it :)
But overall, its excellent!
it looks very good but the power plant looks like brand new 50's prefab housing I thought it would look more run down. But it's your mod n your interpretation and I don't know how hard this is to do so yh I reall can't complain about bits
great!!!!
i love these tanks!!!
there are only a few things:
1the beagle might need to be dirtier
2 the contrast between the ground and buildings is a little big
but other than all that, it's brill
it needs shadows and it will look better
This mod so going to rock!
Great detail to what we seen back in RA1 actually mistake or not its pretty sweet :)
I was just wondering, the Medium Tank used by the Allies in RA1 was for all intents and purposes an Abrams. Of that I'm 90% sure about, so Why not make it look slightly more Abrams-y? Not quite that tall, and a bigger turret? I'm not saying copy it exactly but give it some Abramnessocity!
Although I'm fine with what you got! It all looks great, and I love seeing you guys coming out with new stuff! It's like Christmas every month or so!
Yes, but we're assuming that RA1 takes place in the 50's... Which means that Abrams tanks wouldn't really make sense. We decided that it would be a little more intuitive to make new designs.
ra1 is WW1. -.- atleast the altered one. (Hey i want Ottomans! -.-)
No, World War One is unchanged in this setting. Remember, the earliest change to the timeline is the death of Hitler in 1924. The second change is the death of Einstein in 1927, which leads to a modified version of the events of Red Alert 1; with the invention of the Chronosphere delayed, the Allies cannot strike at Moscow, and a truce is declared on Christmas Day 1955 instead. This leads to a second Soviet invasion much earlier than in the RA2 timeline; 1966 rather than 1972.
hitler didnt die.he was erased.and einstein existed in ww1.and if he is removed from the timeline,ww1 einstein is affected too.einstein dissapearing in 1927 doesnt have any importance.It could be 2310351 but he would still be ''never existed''
But both Hitler and Einstien played minor roles in WW1. Just because they did not exist does not mean WW1 never happened. Without WW1 there would have been no Red Revolution no USSR (part of the dissent was due to Czar's involvement in WW1). The borders fell the same way, and Stalin, somehow, is the leader at the exact same time.
Actually, Einstein and Hitler both continued to exist until their respective deaths-by-timetravel in 1924 and 1927. As this system works on a series of alternate universes, both of them still die. World War 1 happens *mostly* unchanged, World War 2 is Red Alert 1, World War 3 is Red Alert 3, and Paradox represents several different wars that follow.
can you put some shots of the power plants on water plz
Right now they just use the Allied water supports.
Are those doors on the power plant? (If they are, that would look weird when they are on water) Other than that, I'm glad to see the code is getting fixed!
why? there will be a platform under it so logically,someone can get outside and wait for his boat on the platform :D
my friend (for some wierd reason ) loves buildings that tessalate...
so bet is that the powerplant is now his favourite structure :)
i presume that you're building these buildings from an allied mcv for the moment so hows the dozers doing?
Well, we actually had a working Confederate faction separate from the Allies for a while, complete with a Conyard that didn't undeploy. We had a ton of ideas for the dozer, and surprisingly few of them worked, though last I checked we had a working build system. We'll merge the stuff that's built from the Allied base (currently everything you see in the screenshot above) soon, once all the bugs are figured out.
just an idea... i think you should release the dozer system for other modders to use for thier mods.
also, is the confed mcv cheaper because structures are not built directly from them?
The war factory and turret are great!
