They have long stayed dormant. The Giant Ants have returned and are now wreaking havoc against those who tried to elminate them. Will you help them achieve their revenge or will you be the one to stop them? Colony Wars is a partial Conversion Mod for Red Alert 2 : Yuri's Revenge. The Mod aims to add in the Giant Ants (The Colony) as a fully playable side,A New Set of Campaigns for each side as well as adding new toys for the original three sides. Allies,Soviets & Yuri. Awaken the Swarm!!!
In the coming months I'll be adding/revisiting other units and filling up more of the checklist. Among these is the return of Per Sub-faction MBTs.
Here is the 12 New Order of which they are and a brief description of their abilities.
Allies:
Bradley FV - Eagle Commandos - Infantry can ride it to boost its firepower and damage. Higher Tier Infantry offer bigger bonuses.
Grizzly Tank - GDI - First 6 Shots fire faster then switches to a slower attack.
Jaguar Tank - Talon Ops - Radar Invisible Light Tank that has one slot for OpenTopped Firing.
Soviets:
Hippo Tank - Storm Legion - Amphibious Tank
Diablo Tank - Red Guard - Fires off a Incendiary Shot sometimes. The Incendiary Shot can deal strong damage vs infantry.
Rhino Tank - Elite Corp - Can deploy into a fortified position which increases its defense.
Syndicate:
Scarab Tank - Psychic Enclave - Can Switch between 2 Modes which has heavier Armor or Weaker Armor but Stronger Attacks.
Lasher Tank - Cabal Order - Fires off shells which slowly lower enemy armor the longer it attacks.
Berserker Tank - Chaos Cell - Fires faster the longer it focuses on an enemy. Releases Rage Gas when killed.
Colony:
Soldier Ant - Horde - Attacks lock enemy in place.
Roach - Vermin - Extremely High Life Regeneration but weaker attacks. (By Giant Ant Standards)
Warrior Ant - Predator - Attacks can instantly kill enemies that are in low health. (Red for Non-Veteran | Yellow for Elite)
Two questions: where did this idea come from and why implement it?
Years before I wanted to do this but pressure that I'd get flak for saying it's just copying MO prevented me from doing it. Now that I realized I could do it without being harassed for just that I figured out doing it again since I wanted the more diverse roles/gimmicks per faction to be a thing originally.
Rhino, or Tiger?
Forgot that I renamed it back to Rhino after naming one to Hippo...
Tiger tank.. for Soviets?! bad joke.
My bad. I still subconsciously refer to it as Tiger Tank.
unit variety is good
