Rise of the Reds
C&C Generals: Zero Hour mod | Released Dec 18, 2008
Rise Of The Reds is an expansion mod for Generals: Zero Hour which adds the Russian Federation as a fully independent faction in addition to making extensive additions to the old factions USA, China and GLA. Later on, we will also include the European Continental Alliance as a second fully unique faction, as well as three special generals for each faction, an in-game general selection, faction-specific naval units and much more. Whether it's steamrolling Russians, indomitable European defenders, American high-tech, Chinese strength in numbers or the brutal cunning of the GLA - ROTR has a faction for everyone, all in one mod!
European Manticore

Description
The 100 ton experimental Manticore tank is the most technologically advanced tank in the world. It sports dual 155mm cannons to fend off lesser tanks, a dual 30mm auto-cannon turret to dispatch any infantry and aircraft that venture into its sights and a set of rocket launchers to seal the deal. Deployed relatively early in the war, these rare tanks are usually seen leading entire ECA armor divisions into the fray against their Russian counterparts. The Manticore is infamous for being the only tank that is able to best the Sentinel in a one-on-one duel. This is not due to standard merits such as the plating of its armor or the parameters of its guns but rather because of nanite technology that can repair any damage done to the tank nigh instantly. Several small, orb-shaped bots actively hover around the Manticore and dispense a regenerative, self-hardening nano-foam that quickly solidifies inside any holes in the hull, thus filling out missing chunks of the tank's structure. There are even reported cases of the tank being fully repaired before its enemies could fire their second volley.
The orbs do not only repair their parent vehicle but also any friendly vehicles within range. This makes the Manticore fearsome not only by itself but also in a tandem with friendly units. Once a General has chosen to deploy the Manticore, two new, mutually exclusive upgrades will become available to his other tanks: Nano Shock Absorbers, devices that look like hexagonal panels that increase the armor of ECA vehicles, and Hydrogen Fuel Cells, new 'safe and green' engines that enhance the vehicle's speed. ECA Generals are only authorized to field one Manticore at a time, so utmost care with this beast is necessary. The Manticore is a new ray of hope to the European Continental Army that had seen so many defeats during the Russian onslaught. It's time to turn the tide, General!

A hero vehicle in a sense. Something I was not expecting. Amazing work and concept development team!!! Keep up the excellent work.
I can imagine a Paladin Tank crew parking next to this one XD
Kinda looks like a mammoth tank
on crack, with the eca touch
overlord crew reaction when they see this in the field...
DAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQ!!! :oooo
"I am in control" --> You certain ;-) ?
Well, there is still only one at a time.
And the 30mm can only do so much to all the aircraft it'll attract.
Infact, the manticores are so freaking dangerous, that the Russian Federation authorized used of the Tremor again facilities rumored to hold them.
Ok, maybe not, But if I were the commander, I'd certenly would sue the tremor against what is basically the concept of "over-powered" on wheels.
i don't think that there are facilities that hold "them".
That thing wont last a minute when I mess up with BIG files. XD
Manticore Vs. Cherno-Medve (Black Bear Tank) on nuclear all the time !!!
I'd used 3-4 tremors :)
Looks a really Badass :3
Mammoth mk1 gone Europe?
Stalin is not amused 2.bp.blogspot.com
:P
what are those fly like things around it ? Repair Drones ??
hehe sry about the last comment didn't feel like reading the Description :P
It looks quite bulky and old for one of the world's most advanced tanks. lol.
oh crap, we have a new epic weapon to fight the russian now, nice job lads :D
it's always to see a face off between german and russian engineering.
Let's hope it's not painfully overcomplicated relative to its gain again.
love it, my fav tank yet!
Very interesting design implementation!
A! HA!!! Finally the over-powered unit.
Youtu.be
My jaw dropped four feet when I saw this.
MAMMOTH TANK! XD
hehe I like the small german flags on the sides =), tank made in Germany :D
****, we need some nukes!
Or maybe just a horde of nuke cannons. Can't go overboard with the fission and EMP shells.
This, I want this tank in 1920x1080 for my main monitor, and in 1280x1024 for my secondary one :D
a couple frogfoots maybe a hind or havoc and problem solved with armored support, in case it has escorts.
I'm going to have a Nuclear bomb in my pocket just in case I meet this Tank. XD
European Mammoth tank :D
Still, you can only deploy one of them at a time and its only dangerous when paired up with other vehicles. Nothing like a swarm of Frogfoots or a rush of Sentinels can't handle :P
swarm of Frogfoots? I am an expert on that =D
"rush of Sentinels"
Does a group of 10 sentinels wiping out half an enemy base is considered a rush?
XD
So they're like a Mammoth Mark II but with wheels and a mobile repair facility?
I'm gonna need a nuke.
Two nukes.
More like the Mammoth Mark I by that comparison.
WOW
So beautiful... cant wait to compare their strength, speed, damage, and durability with the Sentinel
first the overlord was king then the sentinel and golem but now finally the manticore
For the moment...

STOP WHINING
I really like the turret and barrel shape and detail.
Will there be a limit of how many orbs can repair a single vehicle at once? Otherwise I can imagine the Manticore being almost as powerful alone as with escorts.

Sentinel's will cry! Overlord's will beg for mercy! Paladin's will crumble! Marauder's will fall!
I love the guy who decided to -karma half the comments. Anyways, very nifty unit.
i was thinking about ECAs armor lately and i thought: they have jagdmamut and manticore and a prety good starter tank, arent they the best armor?
then i remembered that not only is manticore an optional thats limited to one but also jagdmamut is for general wolfgang only.
I found my new favorite faction... Muahahahahahaha
I think its a bit too small Ingame the Leopard ist nearly the same Size :)
...and its a 100t tank...
