THIS IS A MOD OF RISE OF THE REDS! Rise of the Reds is a great mod made by our friends at SWR Productions. Check it out here!

Required: Rise of the Reds 1.87 PB2.0

Installation Procedure: ZH 1.04 -> Rise of the Reds 1.85 -> Rise of the Reds 1.86 -> Latest Rise of the Reds 1.87

This mod is an Overhaul-style mode of ROTR - a reimagining of the formula in a more balanced and fun way for online play. It adds many new units and abilities more balance changes. The aim of the mod is to change the way you perceive the gameplay of Rise of the Reds 1.87 to something that is more similar to Zero Hour and other classic C&C games.

In the new RC1.0 Version, there will be 15 Generals for you to play with, from the Russia's Zhukov with his Tactical ICBMs of Doom, to sneaky Secret Police Jin, he is always on watch.

This patch can only be played online if all other players have the patch. This patch will not corrupt your 1.87 installation - the Babushka's Revenge launcher is completely compatible with original ROTR and all other SWR mods like Shockwave.

You can use the Radmin VPN service to join multiplayer game (more information on the download)


FAQ:

Q: I want to install Babushka's Revenge, but I cannot find v1.87 whatsoever!
A: The v1.87 Rise of the Reds can be found on Swr-productions.com OR on the official Babushka's Revenge discord. Out of respect to the original creators of Rise of the Reds, I am not allowed to freely provide the download for this version publicly.

Q: Me and my friends are having mismatches? What's wrong?
A: Check your versions before you play. Everyone should have the latest version. That is usually the issue but sometimes the mod mismatches due to having AI. Finally, sometimes the game mismatches for misc. reasons. There's not much you can personally do about that (or I for that matter)

Q: The mod is looking really weird... all the UI is screwed up...
A: Usually the issue is either some sort of WIDESCREEN addon. Remove any widescreen addon and browse the addons section for BR-compatible widescreen addons. For example there is the official widescreen addon from ROTR.

Q: There's invisible units, structures and other weird graphics.
A: You have not installed the game properly. It must be installed in the following order: ZH 1.04 -> ROTR 1.85 -> ROTR 1.86 -> ROTR 1.87 v2.0 -> Babushka's Revenge, as shown above ^^^. If you have any difficulties, contact us on the Discord :)

Q: Where are the 15 Generals? I'm in Skirmish and I can only see the original 5 factions.
A: The generals are found in-game, select them from your command center.

Q: Will there be a campaign/challenge mode?
A: The answer is it is PLANNED.

Q: Will there be navy?
A: Maybe... it's unlikely you will see new maps, and the full navy roster would take a long time to fill out due to lack of models and hard to balance nature of it. However you can be sure they will appear in some missions ;)

Q: This thing is unbalanced or something? WTF?
A: If you have any sort of balance concerns of any sort, use the Babushka's Revenge discord, in the pvp-feedback channel. However, keep in mind that there is a general design philosophy behind the creation of this mod and we reserve the right to all changes of course.

Q: Is there/Will there be new Tech Buildings?
A: Yes. no i'm not gonna spoil them here ;)

Q: Will there be new epic units of some sort?
A: Probably not. There is very little space for epic units in Skirmish/Multiplayer modes but you may see them in future campaign missions or custom maps.

Q: How do I play multiplayer?
A: Follow the multiplayer guide in the Readme provided with the installation of the mod. It includes the installation of Radmin VPN, which is the software most current players are using to play BR. If you're still having trouble, we're very happy to help on the main discord.

Q: I have some other question I want to ask?!?!?!?!! But it's not in the FAQ?!!?!?
A: Ask in the discord bro ;)

Been playing this for a long while, usually online 1 v 1 or 1 v 1 v 1. Much better than vanilla ROTR but unfortunately, the experience is marred by random crashes. (Encountered a serious technical error fault). Is there a fix or some sort of recommended setting to avoid this as it really dampens our mood to play an otherwise fantastic mod?

Unfortunately, sometimes some bugs will seep through... However, maybe if this mod gets a remake, it could become more robust. Thank you very much for enjoying the mod!

The Ai level is crazy.It cheats and spam units non stop.easy dificulty was beatable but Medium dificulty is super hard.

Love this mod, though is there a way to alter the AI? The Easy AI is way too easy and the Medium AI is way too good. The jump between the two difficulties is too extreme. (Somehow the Russian AI can build Shock Troopers and Bombardiers).

This is a sub-mod for ROTR, not Shockwave. You'd have to run either mod's launcher separately. You can have both installed (though I find big mods break things and recommend GenLauncher) but that's not really "on" Shockwave just beside it.

is it normal for the china ai to be so ridiculous compared to the other teams? on medium as usa i can't beat it at all because he chooses the general that gives access to those nuke bombers every time and they wreck your whole army easily. as eca it's a bit easier because i can just choose pandora and spam solaris relays so i actually managed to beat it, but by the end it said he made like 950 units compared with my 40. maybe it depends on the map but it seems a little broken to me

Will there be plans of adding some of the units from ROTR to the specialized generals? Like Partisans and Stinger soldiers to Kassad, or Recycler (with an option to pick all the 8 salvages) to Deathstrike. Or even Neutron nuke pick ups or dirty nuke pick ups for Jhuziz?

I might address this in future patches. Stay tuned.
