Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
During its deployment to Germany in the midst of the GLA insurrection of 2028, one of the most glaring weaknesses of the People's Army became apparent: The GLA's widespread use of explosive traps and tunnel tactics took a heavy toll on the Chinese infantry and tank formations as they were not sufficiently equipped to spot hidden threats before it was too late. This inability to combat a cunning guerilla adversary culminated in the wholesale destruction Coburg, a town in northern Bavaria whose history dated back to the 11th century. The occupation of the city held little strategic benefit, but it gave birth to an infamous, award-winning press photo that depicted a group of burly GLA warriors erecting a crude scimitar-shaped victory monument in front of the historical timber-frame houses, which many regarded as an omen for the immediate collapse of Western civilisation. The Chinese forces soon subverted this insulting display of power, bombarded the city with Inferno Cannons and raised the Red Flag above its charred ruins. After the war, the PLA went out of its way to develop better tools for IED detection and counter-guerilla operations. The Forward Recon Kit was regarded as the most promising and cost-effective project. It provides the ever-reliable Troop Crawler with a large dish capable of scanning far into unknown territory with a powerful, highly concentrated probing beam. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with reactive armour to protect the passenger compartment from attacks, increasing the overall survivability of the Crawler in a hostile environment. Due to the added weight and power consumption, the Forward Recon Kit cannot be mounted alongside the external loudspeakers though.
Oooooh...shiny. On another note, niiiice :)
Mother of descriptions...
that's what i love about this mod, attention to detail
But these descriptions are somewhat way too unrealistic (yes I know, the game itself is unrealistic).15mm gattling gun is not reasonable for any Chinese units (like propaganda airship), since they, in real world, have 30mm (likely to be the gattling tank gun) and 7.62mm (minigunners, that's for sure) available.
nice addition and im loving the description it is very detailed
very nice 0.0
awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D
lol i love how it comes with a short novel :P
Our everything comes with a short-novel. :D
wait does that mean troop crawler has two possible upgrades? :D
Yes but only one can be put on at a time
great model
Am I the only one that read 'capable of scanning far into unknown territory with a powerful, highly concentrated probing beam' and looked up to see In-Game-Pretend-Physics soaring out of the window on his graceful lead wings?
tl;dr
DAT RADAR
Hum...
So I imagine that now the listening outpost has been moved into a higher tier scout and detector unit right? Or does it now have a diferent purpose? Or did you guys scrapped it?! Oh gosh!
I think you guys should remake the kits like: recon should be the radar and speaker tower and the armor kit have better armor and infantry can shot from inside or just make one autogun on the top of it.
