Q: What means © - Copyright on this mod, i.e. what is actually copyrighted on this unofficial modification?
A: Under copyright are the modifications on every aspect that differs from the original game.
3-rd party authors of the assets that are used in the mod are properly credited in “Credits” in the game itself.
Q: Which parts of this mod can be used?
A: This mod is not open-source that means that you cannot use any part of it. Also, you may not make any modifications on this mod, and publish as yours, and also you may not use the new code found in *.ini files that is part of this mod.
"Many new mods implement too many new units and buildings that know usually to be complicated for playing because the duration of the match itself is not too long to build and use every each of them into it, even some other mods make total conversion of the game what is against every common sense, and even there are some that use only the game engine – that is actually exploit of the game code. This mod brings a lot of new buildings, units, aspects and systems, but all of it has right purpose and realism and at the end you will agree that you have wanted it from always! The main goal of Red Alert 2: Intelligence Tech is far more realistic gameplay! Gameplay like true Red Alert fans deserved from always!
Balance between sides is irrelevant because in real world nothing is balanced – if there is a balance, there wouldn't be wars. Good Player is the player who can win with every deal cards!
You will be surprised from the fact how good the AI (computer player) actually uses new available features provided by the mod, and how long one skirmish match can lasts."

Hi! I hope this isn't dead yet. I'd like to say thank you for making this incredible and highly re-playable mod. I hope that you keep on improving this and will one day be the must-have mod for RA2: Yuri's Revenge. Keep up the good work!Your mod is one of the best I've ever played and will always be my go-to mod for YR.
Thank you for your kind words. New update is planned for near future.
please i have one problem with the Paradrop in Yuri revenge version after i wait for 4 mins when i click on Paradrop units the timer repeat itself and no mouse pointer to drop the units
Strange, need more input. With which country? If it is case of "Paradrop Invasion" then you have to at least $20.000 to pay for it, otherwise you wouldn't see the drop cursor.
