This mod had been previously released to the public since the end of October 2009 which was only posted in some C&C forums rather than here. It was the fourth release of the mod where it didn't involve all the Uprising units and the other custom new units released as source codes from other modders. There were some significant balance issues and missing parts that need to be fixed or added for a future version for this mod. Suggestions are welcome for feedback.

RA3 Reloaded Beta 0.5 works only on RA3 patch 1.12.
=================================
Version Beta 0.5 Changes
=================================
-- All global, balance and bug changes done in RA3 patches 1.11 and 1.12 are included in this mod. The following changes listed below are new and edited changes to enhance RA3 version 1.12.
-- The sampled music track into this mod has been removed until EALA fixes the inclusion of music into the game involving pathmusic. It appears that there will be no new music in this mod at this point of time until the encoder is available for use.
-- New units available to build in RA3:
**Allied Harbinger Gunship (cost 4000/40) - requires Max Clearance and Defense Bureau
This unit is based from RA3 Uprising. Its way of moving and attacking has been fixed. Attack damage increased by 20%, clip-reloading time decreased slightly and locomotor values have been changed: circling radius is 100, circling speed is 70%, slow turn and fast turn radius are both 75. Airfield now prohibits this unit from parking. Unit ability names and descriptions added in mod.str. There is an AI issue in which this unit can't move or attack directly on some certain points such as repairing by drones over the airfield or attacking an enemy building when it refused to do so and target something else. This can only work if you click or press a button to hold fire stance.
**Soviet Tesla Tank (cost 1500/15) - requires Super Reactor
This unit was a SP campaign unit from RA3 and Uprising which was never available to build in skirmish modes. Primary attack is very much like the Tesla Coil but with lesser damage. Its ability is very much alike to the tesla trooper which spreads out a tesla emp wave in a small radius around enemy units, making the unit stationary. Friendly units are unaffected by this ability.
**Soviet Desolation Bomber (cost 1600/16) - requires Battle Lab and Airfield
A similar version to the Allied Century Bomber, it drops desolator bombs that are deadly against infantry and light vehicles. Since it carries one desolator ammo, it needs to be reloaded at the airfield.
**Japan Attack Drone (cost 500/5) - requires Japan Barracks
The unit has a gun effective against infantry but armor is weak. However, the foice taunts for the unit are not included yet.
**Japan Greater King Oni (cost 4000/40) - requires Nanotech Mainframe + Mecha Bay Breakthrough + Nanoswarm Hive
This unit has the same ability as King Oni but much stronger and faster and can attack air units.
**Japan Shogun Executioner (cost 7000/70) - requires Nanotech Mainframe + Mecha Bay Breakthrough + Nanoswarm Hive
This unit is considered the epic unit of RA3 and it can only be built at a limit of one on the battlefield. Its reload time of using its shockwave ability is now ten seconds making it ideal for faster destruction. Although it's more OP than the C&C3 Mothership's catalyst cannon in terms of range and radius damage, this is probably the biggest and most powerful unit of the C&C series.
General Global Changes:
-- All Ore Collectors are no longer buildable from War Factory and Naval Yard to all three factions because they are unnecessary. They can now only be buildable from Ore Refineries.
-- Sidebar now has 4 rows x 3 columns of building unit(s) and structure(s) just like from RA3 Uprising.
-- Multiplayer/skirmish modes now have more color options to choose from.
-- All factional base and neutral structures increase their health by 25%. All EORTS egg cores increase their health by 25%.
-- The player techs in the support powers menu have been modified.
-- Any unit that reaches heroic veterancy will auto-heal itself. Some units previously do not auto-heal.
-- Mouse's click and drag box color changed to red.
