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.
Typically setup in hastily fortified areas and mountainous terrain, these guard posts are equipped with a .50 caliber machine gun, situated high enough to be able to fire above walls and hills. Like their grounded counterparts however, these posts are vulnerable to anti-garrison weaponry, and must be supported if a faction wishes to use it for an extended period of time.
Ya never see guard towers in RTSes, so this is nice
Bonus points for letting us build guard towers as the ECA
Can flashbangs, ECA and Russian garrison-clearing weapons go over walls and hills?
Can we have ECA watchtower?
