Rise of the Reds: Two Decades after Zero Hour.
After almost a year of inactivity we are finally back in action and have a with a new home at E-Studios. If you're just now joining us, we have changed our image from what we used to be back at Revora. We've begun a massive overhaul of the Russian faction and we are now happy to introduce the European Continental Army or ECA for short,into the ROTR conflict. The ECA originates from the mod "Rise of Europe" whom have now merged with the ROTR team. A vast majority of their content will be available for their Generals.
Rise of the Reds will add these two factions into the "General's" world, and stay true to the style of the original game in both design and gameplay. In addition we will improve the gameplay of the original game and fix balance or bug issues.
Features: New Content and General Selection
Rise of the Reds is a mod for Zero Hour which takes place several years after the Zero Hour storyline. A storyline in which entangles all 5 factions in a battle royale for both global influence and superpower status.
We're planning to scrap a the old Zero Hour Generals with ALL NEW ones with it's own unique General selection.
First you select your side: Russia, USA, ECA, China or GLA. Then once you are in game you will be prompted as to which general you wish to play, who you will then select at the Command Center.
There will be 3 Generals per faction, making for a total of 15 playable Generals - each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. We have decided to base ROTR solely around these Generals so there will be no "vanilla" or parent factions in the traditional sense. The new generals are listed as follows.
New Generals :
USA
-Airforce
-Special Forces
-Tank
China
-Red Army
-Special Weapons
-Secret Police
GLA
-Bio Command
-Terror Cell
-Warlord
Russia
-Rapid Deployment
-Advanced Weapons
-Tactical Ballistics
ECA
-Mechanized Assault
-Royal Guard
-Fire Support
We will release more detailed information regarding these new Generals later.
Unique Skirmish Maps :
For extra content, we will be releasing skirmish maps rather than full blown campaign, these maps will follow the storyline's war and will lead you across the globe. More on that later ;)
The next version of RoTR, is just on the horizon and will see it's release soon. That version will include improved AI, new units and strutures for the 12 factions, 3 generals for each faction. The next version will not have ECA, as we are not done making that faction at the moment.
Overall we hope you will be excited with our new ROTR as we are. Stay tuned for more updates in the future. Please also jump into our forums for your comments and up-to-date news with the mod and join an active community where you will eventually be able to play online. We've had a fan base in the past and with our revival we expect old fans to revisit us and maybe new ones to join in with the fun, so don't be surprised if they expect a few games with other fans!

Please Don't ask for the release date, or even an estimate, as there is never a release date.
There isn't a navy planned yet either

Good evening, this is Eric Bryce reporting live for ECAN. Russian submarines have begun to target European merchant ships all over the continent. Ships are being sunk within hours after leaving their ports and surprisingly the death toll has been very low. Statements from surviving crewmen included reports of Russian submarines acting in a 'very chivalric manner'. European officials have requested all European ships to remain in their ports until this new threat is dealt with. We've tried to contact the Continental Navy on the subject but no reply was given.

A massive evacuation of the populace near the eastern German border began today. Thousands are leaving their homes and belongings behind as the European defense line begins to wane before the restless Russian offensive. Hundreds of shelters are being built to house the evacuees and local aid workers have been very eager in delivering supplies. Many protests all over Europe have been breaking out recently challenging the ability of the ECA in dealing with the Russian forces.

Russian air strikes have increased in quantity lately. The few remnants of the European Continental Air Force are struggling to maintain the little pockets of air superiority they have left. Russian bombers and fighters recently are left mostly unchallenged as they strike military and civilian airports keeping the little aircraft that remain grounded. Berlin was also severely bombed today. Witnesses described severe amounts of aircraft flying over the city and then moments later a massive bombing took place in the city's industrial zone. Death tolls have been estimated in the hundreds.
This concludes our evening news. This has been Eric Bryce. Good night.

Hello ROTR Fans!
It's been a while since we've actually posted an update but I can assure you that we've been working behind the scenes (even though it doesn't look like it) and I'm here to prove it!
Today we have a special amount of content for you, including two of our reskinned structures for the European Union as well as the awaited Russian Tesla Video! So lets get on with the update shall we?
First up the EU Barracks:
The training facility for the ECA Infantry. The FELIN, Panzerfaust Infantry and other soldiers are trained here.
Next up, the EU War Factory:
These massive facilities pump out the ECA's armored divisions, artillery and heavy equipment for their on going war effort. It is said that during Russian raids factory workers continued to work here, with greater effort, to get the job done.
Now for a little extra, we'd like to show the Russian Cargo Plane:
Called in by General powers, the IL76 Candid transports all Russian invasion forces across Europe or wherever it is called for duty. When you catch one of these in the sky, always look for another nearby.
And now, last but not least, the awaited Russian Tesla Video, enjoy!:
Well we hope you have enjoyed our update, we'll continue to update you with our work as we progress (and find the time to update!).
This has been the ROTR team, good night!
