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.
Originally designed for the British Royal Engineers, the Warhound is a combat engineering vehicle used by the European Continental Army. Rapidly deployable thanks to its light weight of just over 30 tons, this versatile machine can be used for a variety of purposes. Its armament consists of a short 140mm cannon, which is typically loaded with high-explosive demolition shells, and a co-axial .50 calibre machine gun. The cannon, while devastating against static targets, infantry and light vehicles, cannot be fired on the move due to the relatively simplistic fire control systems, and requires the vehicle to be deployed in place. In that state, the Warhound can also be used to repair nearby buildings in a small radius around itself. Finally, the vehicle can use its powerful digging instruments to escavate a small pit to hide explosives in, which can be detonated on a manual command to surprise enemies. In combat, the Warhound has quickly proven itself as a worthy supplement to any defensive strongpoint as well as a helpful force multiplier in urban and mountainous battlespaces since the famous ECA campaigns in North Africa.
Awesome design & lore!
It is deployable from Region Command or from VAD?
Field Command.
So it's like a modern Churchill AVRE, with additional gadgets?
Vindicator reporting!
IMHO it's more of a Leman Russ Demolisher without sponsons.
Yeah, it has a a turret.
The chassis design was actually based on the new Terrier Armoured Digger, albeit with a turret and short demolition cannon added.

ohh i can crush infantry easier and faster mwahahaha
so in the end eca are spec faction and has no weakness
Because they gain an early unit that can only fire its main gun when it's deployed in a defensive state in order to cope better in filling defensive gaps and hoping the opposition still doesn't get out of it's range and completely ignore it's defensive area?
Please, do enlighten us as to how that confers to no weakness.
What about ECA having almost no airforce that is only ahead of the GLA?
The ECA's weakness is its lack of agility and its slow production. What this means in practice is that they typically lose the initiative of the battle early on because they can't get as many units out as other factions, thus requiring a fully developed late game economy to actually produce forces and gain momentum. Their gameplay revolves heavily around the idea that you'd play things safe early on, build up a well protected base, lock down approaches and chokepoints, build your tech, build your economy, kill enemies to rank up, then mount decisive counter-attacks with high-quality units, preferably right after the enemy has lost the biggest chunk of his army trying to break through your perimeter.
mmm so they still can be take down eh .anyway does mercenary require general power? how partisan work?
Not really. You could easily defeat ECA using rush tactics.
ECA has the biggest 2 weaknesses,
1: No Missle disintegration ability(Harrier Chaff not counted)
2: No Radar reveling ability besides Whole map reveal upgrade.
These weeknesses make it impossible for ECA to perform a well coordinated attack or defense.
So basically the ECA made a GLA unit but better?
can someone here tell me about partisan?
mmm, thank, i understand what is the name of that general power to unlock? like covert force unlock pathfinder and seal
"the vehicle can use its powerful digging instruments to escavate a small pit to hide explosives in, which can be detonated on a manual command to surprise enemies."
Looks like ECA learned some tricks with GLA
Wow, the guns must be epic for the Version 2.0
btw when will you release it?
Me like. Can I have one?
Soooo cute!!!
