Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
Over the years, Russia developed a number of new ballistic missile systems, including the 'Don' which was designed for tactical use on the battlefield. Thanks to its on-board jamming systems, the new missile cannot be intercepted by any means and carries up to five low-yield atomic bombs, essentially designed as a way to deliver an accurate nuclear artillery barrage to shatter enemy formations and defensive lines. Ever since President Suvorov had issued the clearance to deploy these weapons to General Leonid Zhukov, several Don missiles were installed at Russian Army bases in the occupied territories of Europe. Zhukov reasoned that a ballistic missile launch that was detected closer to the frontline would not be as easily misinterpreted as a strategic launch from the larger silo compounds in the Russian homeland. He knew that such an error might easily bring about the end of the world, which is why he reserved his missiles for only a select few high-priority military targets in support of his ground assaults and defied orders from General Aleksandr who urged him to launch them against European population centres in a last fanatical effort to shatter their opponents' morale. Despite protests from Aleksandr, President Suvorov never reprimanded Father Leonid for his disobedience, which the old, respected General regarded as an unspoken statement of approval.
End times are of coming...
It makes me feel the power of NUKE!

ECA will pay for the loss of our Russian Brothers! To War my Russian Brothers!!! Enemies of the great motherland shall burn!!!
THIS IS RUSSIA!
you sound like aleksandr
For MOTHER RUSSIA!!!
you scaring Enemies of the great moterland
is this will replace the tremor or it is a new superweapon?
No, and it is not as powerful as the tremor. Though it supposedly does have a longer range than the TOPOL M...
Nope. The Tremies will not be replace, as far as I heard this silo's can crack ECA's defenses like hot knife through butter, and I won't hesitate to use it on my brother's base when 1.85 is release. Keep safe guys ans keep up the good work making this mod the original Gen2.
Nice now there are two factions in Rotr armed with nukes :D cant wait to test thous in battle.
*Three. ECA just ditched as much of the casing and put more tritium into their for extra neutrony goodness.
Can imagine RF vs. China skirmish now... will be prolly summed up as "Nukes for the nuke god"
You get nuked, he gets nuked, EVERYONE GETS NUKED!
Yay! :D
The glow.... the wonderfull glow! can you not see it General
(random Taunt From Cina Nuke General)
I salute Gen.Zhukov for defying the Madman's order for launching these powerful bombs to ECA's population.
Agree. Ol' Zhukov is a badass for flipping Alex out.
Dirty weapons for the dirty faction. The Federation needs to be put in place!
On the other hand. Nice job on the model! Im excited for 1.85!
Every faction has 'dirty' weapons. Just look at all those Chinese nukes and incendiaries, GLA toxins, American microwaves and lasers that burn people alive and all the anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and neutron warheads used by the ECA.
Its worth mentioning that Russia has probably the most humane superweapon out of all the factions (though it was also considered inhumane due to the operators being poorly trained shmucks who probably only know how to push the big red button and care not for anything else...). The Tremor is basically a huge artillery gun which fires boring conventional HE warheads. Everyone else's either burns you alive (USA, ECA) or poisons you (China, GLA).
Let's not forget that Russia's nuclear weapons are in the hands of the most sympathetic and reasonable general who knows when and when not to use them. Again, everyone else either uses nukes liberally (China obviously) or treats it as just another weapon system (ECA Pandora protocol), not caring for possible consequences at all.
I wouldn't say that the ECA treats its nukes as 'just another weapon system'; they've detonated enhanced radiation warheads on their own soil and both the Fall of Man update as well as the VOs of the Pandora operator make it quite clear that they crossed this line out of sheer desperation. If it hadn't been for WW3 (or more specifically, if it hadn't been for a lunatic like Aleks running WW3), the Pandora as a weapon would have never existed.
You are right about the Tremor being the least 'superficially nasty' out of all the superweapons, although the explosion of a massive conventional HE shell still makes an absolute mess out of everyone unfortunate enough to be too close. Best case scenario, the blast turns your entire body into mush before your nerves can sense it. Worst case, you get your limbs torn off, your organs liquefied by the sheer power of the blast or end up slowly crushed/suffocated under a pile of rubble.
Imagine what would game-play be like if RoR dudes decide to properly simulate Nuclear detonation. And, I am not referring to blast yield size(that one is problematic to be simulated realistically and would be OP from the start), but to all effects of a nuclear detonation, like air-shockwave, heat wave, radiation and EMP. China would be the first faction to become OP, ECA following in the close second place.
lol there's a mod theat gives the chaina nuke general a super nuke missile,that basicly wipes the entire map,and only the nucklear shelter can save some of your forces.
That mod is Destructive Forces, too bad its old, unfinished and abandoned, i loved to wipe out the entire map, and if there was a Nuke general on the battle(which has the Armageddon Nuke), everyone would be able to build a bunker that could withstand a detonation of the Armageddon, that was a pretty nice idea, i wish that mod hadn't died =(
Nuke Han - best point you ever spent :P
Or alternatively, it makes your body fly into the air, into space :P
I've seen it happen myself.
missile silo is awesome will be esclusive for zhukov right?
Like he said, Zhukov exclusive?
Is that famous Satana rocket?
Nay, it is said that this one is called "Don" and have "low yield" warheads. While Satan delivers 20MT, hue.
Nah. I've just started to think about full out nuclear war. But thanks for reply.
So is this kind of like a buffed up ECA artillery emplacement?
'Kind of' :D
Is it just me, or shouldn't those warheads be , I dunno placed inside a bunker or something?
what??? place the warheads where they CANT be stolen to create a climatical impasse?
who would do that?????
but why the nuclear warheads are just "stockpiling" next to the silo??
когда это добавят в мод ?
and where is he? in the mode its is not there This EMP WHERE THIS EMP !!???!!??
it's famous ss-18 satana Missile ! when it will added??????!!!
