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.
The combination of anti-globalist/capitalist political ideology and radical salafism has proven to be extremely effective in attracting disaffected recruits for the GLA from nations around the world. From the former come many of the organisation's demolition specialists, such as the 'Wall Street Bombers' whose series of attacks on banking houses and business individuals around the Manhattan Financial District in 2042 revealed that the reach of the Global Liberation Army once again extended to American shores. In combat, GLA-affiliated Anarchists tend to be armed with a variety of hand grenades and home-made explosive devices which they can set up for area-denial purposes. Unlike their religiously motivated Terrorist cousins, Anarchists are utterly devoted to their goal in ensuring that the world shall suffer "no gods, no masters" - A stark ideological contrast which, according to recent intelligence analyses, has led to disputes among the GLA's top level leadership.
do you need GP to unlock this unit? And also as the description said "area-denial purposes", does that mean it would be booby trap for Anarchist instead of normal rebel
They can place mines with the explosives unlock but the basic unit is available by default.
So, these will be kinda like Shockwave's salvage general's terrorists or older CnC game grenadiers, right? throwing explosives, with extra bomb setup capabilities?
Pretty much yes.
Oooh looks like the german potato masher from WW1
A stick grenade's a stick grenade.
Personally, I'd sooner go with the RPG-40 hand grenade: Shorter stick, much heftier head.
It actually can also be the RKG-5, which looks like an iron Molotov.
I like the backstory giving the distinction between the Anarchists and the religious martyr Terrorists and it's dropping hints that Bio Command and Terror Cell do not get along given the philosophies of their respective generals.
I really don't know how a GLA unit that is not a supposedly Muslim religious crusader can fit in but hey...
Oh boy Stikkbommaz! :D Now what I want to now is will they get Recycler upgrades?
nope
"A rise in anti-Globalist/Capitalist political ideology [helps to draw recruits from the West into the GLA"
a western anti-Capitalist wearing red and black joining forces with totally not (actually extremely) Islamic international terrorists?
:thonk:
the GLA units don't even claim to be islamic, it's obvious that their fictional religion is a placeholder for radical islam but it's still a fictional religion
