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

Hello once again ROTR fans and welcome to my media update. Sit back because this will be a very crazy ride. You heard plenty from ECA and the Russians right? If were you thinking 'What about China?' then this update is just perfect for you.
First up, we have the Chinese Han Gunship. Let's take a look, shall we?
This beauty sports inter-meshing counter-rotating rotor blades which give it a very cool and unique design. It's armed with twin anti-tank cannons instead of the anti-tank missiles and rockets you've all become very familiar with. This baby fills a common role but it both accomplishes the task and looks like nothing else out there. There's rumors of a secondary weapon or ability but that's absolutely top secret at this time.
Then we have the Chinese Propaganda Airship. You thought this couldn't get any more awesome?
The ultimate option for your propaganda needs. These enormous airships resembling leviathans will keep your troops healed and will give you the bonuses you all love. They are also armed and are a good way of providing fire support for your units. They also die in a blaze of glory. Literally. This baby can be further upgraded with displays that further enhance their beneficial bonuses. The display will keep on switching between a selection of images which will keep your forces inspired and ready to fight.
To wrap it up we now show you the Chinese Helix:
Without the Helix the game just wouldn't feel the same. The Helix has returned and is very happy as you can see for yourself. He's particularly very pleased with his new appearance though it may be already familiar to some of you from an earlier update.
(Remember, Shockwave and Rise of the Reds are one in the same!)
That's all for tonight folks. I hope you loved these renders as much as I did. This is Overdose and the SWR Team signing off.

Nergi Zed,
On the Rotr, will have tesla trucks or tanks like anothers C&C?
I believe there will be no Tesla trucks or tanks, just the defence for the one Russian general.
What campaign does this mod have? We have General Challenge, what about campaign?
There will be no campaign outright, instead we will release a map at a time which will basically be RoTR's campaign.
I'm also not totally sure there will be challenge mod in our first version. (there will be in future versions)
I just want to add that we will be posting a update moderately soon with some ECA content and that our Russian AI is fully functional and ready to kick ass. :)
update??
I WANT THIS MOD!
I like the tesla coil because the others C&C that I know have Tesla Coil, and this tesla that your team done is very bealtiful! Good work! And Nergi Zed, you think your team will make the tesla tank? Or tesla truck?
Liking the telsa tech guys. I can see this mod is going to be more than worth the wait.
love tha tesla coil
