This mod is mainly intended for skirmish games against the computer, giving a new life to the game while holding on to the vanilla flavor as much as possible.
Features
- Skip EA logo animation from playing every time the game starts.
- New AI with pretty strong play. Set AI players to Brutal to get the best of it.
- New unit for Soviets, "Thief", very useful for stealing harvesters and other precious enemy vehicles, can also be used to explore the map a bit.
- Set the screen size to 1280 x 720 (wide screen), although it only works inside the game, the menus are not affected. This size was chosen to give the game a natural look, kind of a blend between the original resolution and modern hardware.
- New close combat map, "Arena of War". 8 players recommended for a full cutthroat. Be aware that some fights may begin right off the bat if you have a starting unit count higher than 0.
- Many tweaks that make the game more fun and balanced, giving more value to rarely used units, while keeping it close to the original.
