Have you ever had the feeling of emptiness somewhere between years 1950 and 1995?
Smells like a giant plot hole...
This is what drives the guys behind C&C Renovatio to bring you a unique experience of those years. Just imagine being caught up in the middle of all the events that twist & shape the universe after the end of the first Red Alert into the epic Nod vs GDI power struggle in Tiberian Dawn.
On a side note...
Of course, it's naturally hard to think up 40 years overnight given some thousands of state variables at both ends, so the storyline & game props are being constantly reviewed & updated to avoid any inconsistencies.
Game features:
- New campaigns for each side (Defend, assault, commando & other style missions),
- Familiar (including those that have not been introduced in earlier games) units with completely new designs,
- New units along with new upgrades,
- New environments,
- New music, sounds and visual effects.
Special announcement:
Comrade, aren't you tired of sitting home and crying to your mommy?

If you're reading this, then you've tuned in... just in time!
You might wonder, why the hell do we still bother posting untextured models. To clear that up - Blogs serve us to show off unfinished work. Literally. Applies to everything.
We'll be moving the "blog system" a bit forward. From now on, we'll be discussing issues directly in the forums, giving you an easier-to-traverse channel to yell at us.
That also means the updates should be more frequent.
Or wait. We're repeating ourselves...
Once the formalities are out of the picture, we'll be focusing on the unplayable units and buildings, designed solely to be used at particular places in a few additional scenario maps that are not part of our main plan, but still to be included in one of the optional expansion packs.
*Catching breath*
Might look very important and promising, but this is a...
Joke.
Back on the serious tune. Each side will have 4 types of defense: anti-air & anti-ground tiers 1through 3. Choose wisely, don't put sausages against bears - they only help against hungry Wall Street brokers, um... Serious, serious, seriousness.
Allied LOSAT Tower (tier II)
The effectiveness of projectile-based defenses were crippled by introduction of fast-moving units, which made it necessary to move on from cannons to guided missile launchers.
Of course, it's slow to reload, but in this age... tactics and precision is all that matters.
You might argue this should be called anything but the version 1.
Can't judge you, but this is as-intended 2 years ago.
EDIT: The usual random technical difficulties of moddb made the song clip not show up for me.
Just in case, here's the link: Devil March

2. is it true that your planning 99000 missions for scavengers :)
3. does gdi retire most of their navy except the gunboat by late campaign?
4. Will the allies get the spy and thief?
5. IN the late campaign will the allies disband and gdi take over and fight the scavengers?
6. Will a buggy type vehicle make an appearance?
7. Will scavengers have a hijacking unit soemthing like that?
8. Will we see a prototype oblelisk of light?
9. how will flame towers get phased out?
i think i have phrased that nod question wrong let me rephrase
for example
A scavenger mission
TRansmission begins>
greetings commander i am kane......just kane i have been told by your superiors that you are the most capable commander they have. I hope they are correct.
This is sarajevo it is currently occupied by the allied division known as the black ops you must change that..
I will send some of my elite soilders disguised as allies to get your troops through then you must ensure that you wipe them all out and time is of the essence the bortherhood has big plans for that area
Or a different scenario
This is sarajevo it is currently occupied by the allied division known as the black ops then must be removed from sarajevo but we must not draw attention to you or ourselves.
that is why we will sabotage their efforts the relations between the black ops and residents of sarajevo is hanging by a thin thread it would only take but one act to force the black ops to withdraw an act which you must perform
This is there power grip that is powering all of sarajevo you must knock it out gather you best commandos and have them airlifted south of sarajevo in these mountians meanwhile my elite commandos will infiltrate from the north.
A village marked on your map will be the meeting point from there i will give you command of my team and you do the rest
Tiberium metoer mission
Commander it has happened a new age is upon us! the metoer has fallen here in tiber river italy the allied military is securing the area you must reach there before they do and take as many samples as you can for it is vital for the bortherhood to best the allies in tiberium research
Missions that you describe fit into a really late period (not in the current storyline, which is ~1956-1980), as now there's quite the deal of momentum for Scavengers to gain before they can even start thinking to just go and rock'n'roll some bust on someone's a...*beep* :)
1) I suggest to add character for scavengers - father or grandfather of Anton Slavik (NOD commander from TS)
2) Will be nuclear weapons? In TD NOD still have nukes
3) Will be explained why scavengers use allied apache? They have hind. But in TD nod.. but i remember in one of scenes we can see hinds on NOD side. But this can be wrong.
4) Will scavengers have Tu-16 bombers and parabombs or carpet bombing?
5) What about campaigns? This will be one storyline but with different poin of view like in C&C3? Or will be possible to play as scavengers win the war and build new empire?
6) Will be aliens? Or their technology?
8) I think scavengers must find tiberium first, because as i remember, Kane and his faction was first who start research tiberium and harvesting.
9) Will be laser weapons?
10) Will be cyborgs or their early prototypes?
11) Will be phase tank for scavengers as only mission unit?
12) Will scavengers destroy chronosphere and all technology and it will be forgotten forever? And Einstein can be dead or assasinated.
13) Will be explained why tesla coils not used by NOD in tiberium wars?
14) Will be shock troopers and tesla tanks for scavengers?
15) What will happen with Von Esling and Stavros? They will command allied forces?
16) Very interesting but i think NOD used some sort of Iron Curtain technology for protect temple in Sarajevo in C&C3 :)
btw one more idea
You should put Mr.t in the game with a pimped out abrams that pitys enemies to death like an easter egg lol :P
Too bad we don't have much time to spare... otherwise it would've definitely been included.
more questions :)
1. Will there be more than 1 sub faction for the scavengers specilising in different areas?
2. Will the scavengers have the phase tank?
3. Will volkov and his dog be a playable unit?
4. Will we see the tiberian dawn power plants in the later stages of the campaign for the allies?
5. Will there be ungrades for units?
6. Will the scavengers have more than 1 way to gather resources?
7. Btw when i meant When does nod come into play I meant actually come into play do they lend alot of aid to the scavengers and manipulate the allies or......
8. How will tanya die or retire?
9 One possible mission you could do as scavengers is raid a top secret allied research facility to steal plans for a prototype laser defense
10. In the scavenger campaign do you fight other scavenger groups as well?
11. Is the M.A.D tank going to make an appearance?
12. will we see a prototype tiberium refinery?
13. Will scavengers eventually switch from a war factory to an air strip?
14. What will make the allies throw away the old war factory and replace it with the new weapons factory?
15. How will the scavengers get their hands on the plans for the allied turret?
16. Are the scavengers going to be wiped out by the brotherhood in the end or absorbed by them?
17. Will we see the ion in the construction stages and the scavengers try to saboutage it?
18. Since there is a span of 40 years will the scavengers make many improvised weapons such a flame phase tank,technical or fake demo truck or something like that
19. Will the guard tower be buildable by the allies?
20. is the scavengers black hand the same organisation as nods black because if i remeber correctly the nod black hand started out as the bodyguards of kane?
21. Will the allies eventually get their hands on the iron curtian?
22. During the scavenger campaign will we recieve assignments for kane himself?
[Q] Will there be more than 1 sub faction for the scavengers specialising in different areas?
[A] The Scavengers are very divided, but still the tech diversity is low in the current story slice due to the fact they all heavily rely on Soviet legacy.
[Q] Will the scavengers have the phase tank?
[A] The Scavengers still have to get their hands on that technology, which will progress into the stealth tank. But they will most like not use it during Renovatio, as the plot's main object's problem is collecting itself.
[Q] Will volkov and his dog be a playable unit?
[A] Volkov is the First high-tech experiment created by the war's somewhat unaffected Black Hand subfaction during the WWII. He does come into play.
[Q] Will we see the tiberian dawn power plants in the later stages of the campaign for the allies?
[A] The timeline is revolves more around Red Alert 1; it starts with the last mission of it and ends in the Tiberium meteor impact on earth.
[Q] Will there be ungrades for units?
[A] No. But we will include upgrades. ;)
[Q] Will the scavengers have more than 1 way to gather resources?
[A] There will be several ways to gain resources.
[Q] BTW when i meant When does nod come into play I meant actually come into play do they lend a lot of aid to the scavengers and manipulate the allies or......
[A] Wha...?
[Q] How will Tanya die or retire?
[A] Tanya hasn't gotten through the story refurbishment factory yet.
[Q] One possible mission you could do as scavengers is raid a top secret allied research facility to steal plans for a prototype laser defense
[A] Oh, really... Yes, really, the Scavengers are planned to be some hell of a pain in the a**. :)
[Q] In the scavenger campaign do you fight other scavenger groups as well?
[A] As we said in the beginning, there will be a lot of chaos and mistrust... along with a few traitors =]
[Q] Is the M.A.D tank going to make an appearance?
[A] The tank has been dismissed due to the whacky nature of it...
[Q] will we see a prototype tiberium refinery?
[A] No.
[Q] Will scavengers eventually switch from a war factory to an air strip?
[A] Scavengers will have several ways for producing units.
[Q] What will make the allies throw away the old war factory and replace it with the new weapons factory?
[A] Time & Technology.
[Q] How will the scavengers get their hands on the plans for the allied turret?
[A] So the plan is... hmm. Ah, yes, thieves...
[Q] Are the scavengers going to be wiped out by the brotherhood in the end or absorbed by them?
[A] Firstly, there are no clearly divisible sides. Secondly, "The Brotherhood" is just the result of some clever rebranding work.
[Q] Will we see the ion in the construction stages and the scavengers try to sabotage it?
[A] The ion technology is wearing dipers during our story line.
[Q] Since there is a span of 40 years will the scavengers make many improvised weapons such a flame phase tank,technical or fake demo truck or something like that
[A] They will need to do lots of improvisation, but flame and phase tank is not part of it.
[Q] Will the guard tower be buildable by the allies?
[A] The Guard Tower will play part, but for a different host.
[Q] is the scavengers black hand the same organisation as nods black because if i remember correctly the nod black hand started out as the bodyguards of Kane?
[A] Correct
[Q] Will the allies eventually get their hands on the iron curtian?
[A] No. The technology is "protected" from seeing the daylight ever again.
[Q] During the scavenger campaign will we receive assignments for Kane himself?
[A] Perhaps... or had you lost your faith?
1. The beginning includes confusion, chaos.
2. The Bortherhood was always in the picture, even during the WWII the Black Hand had a saying in some leading positions.
3. It is undecided, if we will use the Bradley, though, the process of how the Scavengers got their hands on it should be explained.
4. That is the plan.
5. Now is too early to speculate, as the background story we’re working on hasn’t matured enough yet.
6. Scavenger faction is the result of such tactic change.
7. The Scavengers will have the mentioned but a rather scarce arsenal.
8. Navy will be lost, but certainly not the most of it. (Scavengers will have sneaky ways to disable ships near the coast, but, really, the story won’t be going too much into the seas due to the nature and location of the conflict.)
9. The currently-in-the-works story slice will not reveal this, though you may get hints on how they got it from the former Soviet army.
10. Given the universe/world state, there are quite a few equipment suppliers. The initial chaos decentralized the production.
11. Cutscenes revealing Kane’s involvement are in our to-do lists.
12. This is a difficult question. On one hand, they are all capable of doing just that, but, meh... Chuck Norris... hasn't even graduated yet. Same with Mr. T.
Or... wait...
