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.

Description
The second screenshot shows the new Fanatics and RPG Insurgents which will be spawned from a GLA Ambush from now on instead of generic Rebels and Tunnel Defenders. The change is purely visual.

Why bother with this when it makes just as much sense with regular rebels? I mean, sure, I appreciate the work, but what's the intention behind the creation of a new unit variation where the regular version would have looked just as natural, and there are no exclusive abilities or stat differences?
Because it's cool, dummy.
There is a reason, an I'll give you a hint: demo unlock + ambush + enemy tanks = not as intended :)
this doesnt change the fact that its still just visual change... -.-
but i love it! more variety is always welcome even when its just visual
Those guys won't have demo unlock, so they won't be used as suicide "AT mines", so no, it is not just visual.
@NikCaputnic
Will they be atleast stronger then Regulars?
I don't think so. The main point of making another unit for ambush GP was to prevent its using as suicide units. (My assumption was confirmed by one of the testers)
Example: you pick high explosives unlock, which makes your rebels and tunnel defenders explode if being runned over with tanks. Then, you pick ambush. Then you see enemy tank blob. You spawn rebels directly within this blob, and venichles go boom. That is not how it was intended to be, so that problem needed a decision. Taking away explosives isn't cool for usual troops, so instead, a new unit was made with the same stats but without explosives upgrade.
well, will they get exclusive voice acting?
OH YES PLEASE.
VDV Voice over is one of my favourite.
And you bet I spam the shiet out of them every game.
Tweak stats :v
