Dawn of the Tiberium Age (DTA) is a stand-alone mod that combines Tiberian Dawn (C&C 95) and Red Alert using the Tiberian Sun engine. The project's aim is to allow people to both play and mod TD and RA, while having all of the benefits of the TS engine.
All 4 factions (GDI, Nod, Allies, and Soviet) of the original games are included and can simultaneously battle one another on over 100 original multiplayer maps. This can be done either in classic mode (which matches the balance of TD and RA1 as closely as possible) or enhanced mode (which adds many new features and competitive balance improvements).
DTA also features dozens of challenging, unique singleplayer missions as well as co-op missions that can be easily played over the community-driven CnCNet online service.
Since this is a stand-alone mod, you don't require anything but the mod itself to be able to play: the original game is not required.
This mod is still actively being worked on, so you can expect frequent updates and if you find any bugs, please report them so that we can fix them as soon as possible.

Welcome to the 19th century: The American colonies have revolted, gained their independence and they are now nations, the Natives have resisted colonization and struggle to keep their identities, the ancient Asian civilizations are now an active part of the world scenario and have to play their cards right to protect themselves, and in the Balkans, people fight for their independence from once powerful empires. There was one spot on Earth, however, that was ignored for a long time... We're at the modern era and all empires have focused their attention on this long forgotten, but now desirable, region.
Dawn of the Tiberium Age (DTA) is a stand-alone mod that combines Tiberian Dawn (C&C 95) and Red Alert. While classic mode gets as close to the original game-play and balance as possible, Enhanced mode provides improved game balance and a lot of fun new stuff. DTA features many customization options for Skirmish and multiplayer (where you can play as GDI, Nod, Allies and Soviet on over 100 maps), challenging original singleplayer missions, as well as co-op missions. Since this is a stand-alone mod, you don't require anything but the mod itself to be able to play: the original game is not required.

Star Wars: Empire at War - Forces of Corruption mod
From the makers of Thrawn's Revenge: Imperial Civil War, Ascendancy is a Star Wars mod set after the Battle of Endor in the Star Wars Galaxy. Fight for galactic ascendancy as multiple factions from this period in Star Wars history. In the wake of the Empire's collapse, the fledgling New Republic is working to build an entirely new order out of the wreckage.

Brutal Doom has polled strongly in previous awards, but has never won. Tirelessly releasing major updates year after year that takes Doom into a whole new level, we couldn't be happier to crown Brutal Doom the 2017 champion. It makes the game much more violent than before. There's much more blood, plus it adds unique gibs, death animations, dismemberments, headshots, executions, fire and explosion particles, flares, shadows over all objects, and much more. Everything in Brutal Doom is extremely intense. Everything sounds louder, looks bigger, moves faster, and hits harder.
Congratulations to all the modders and community members who participated in the 2017 Mod of the Year awards! We wish you all the best for your continued modding efforts into the new year and beyond.

The Dawn of the Tiberium Age: ****: Look For the Dawn Dawn of the Tiberium Ages (DTA) is a Tiberian sun mod that looks to recreate the game that started it all, Tiberian Dawn. In that regard, DTA is a massive success, with the mod capturing the look, spirit and feel of the original game. It does not stop there however, as DTA takes Tiberian Dawn to the next level, including skirmish modes and online support for fans. Graphically, DTA mimics it's ancestral father perfectly, the charmingly simple…

This mod begin my journey with mods. Thank you developers :)
Very nice mod!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did you make the coop missions? I wish to convert the regular tiberian sun campaign into coop
There's not much special in them, aside from that you place objects under the SpawnX houses instead of GDI/Nod/etc, and make most triggers owned by Neutral. You can open the coop maps with DTA's included map editor and take a look at them.
However, while coop maps support most of the functionality that singleplayer missions utilize, there are some limitations, such as actions done in one mission being impossible to take into account in another mission. Those could make converting the whole TS campaign difficult, although still doable if you re-design the parts of the campaign that get hit by the limitations.
I got it working, but it's as you said very difficult, even the first mission takes up alot of time to get working. i'll try my best to see if i might get a few missions working.
I was wondering if kills from GDI aircraft carriers count, as I was trying to get them promoted and couldn't and at the post game stats the enemy had over 5000 losses but I only had 2000 score.
is it possible to get them promoted?
Sounds like it's not possible.

Ive been playing the enhanced soviet campaign and I must say I absolutely love it. In the future can you guys make more enhanced campaigns? Especially in the Interwar period. With maybe the Allies and their first engagements with Nod
Speaking of the Soviet campaign, where exactly does it take place?
My best guess is in Southern Russia/Kazakhstan at the Caspian sea
Glad to hear that you're enjoying the campaign. There are plans for more campaigns, but we can't speak on how quickly they'll be ready.
For Creeping Destruction, I was mostly thinking of Northern Africa and the Mediterranean Sea when making the campaign, although I haven't officially "defined" where it takes place.
Back when the campaign was released, I said in the news post that it takes place near / in a Soviet colony (in an unspecified region). Because it's a colony, their armies weren't wiped out with the defeat of the Soviet Union itself. There's also a lot of Nod activity in the area, and it's a desert setting. Combined with the "colony" idea and that TD's Nod campaign takes entirely place in Africa (meaning Nod has a strong presence in Africa), it seemed most logical to think of North African deserts, with the temperate island missions taking place on fictional Mediterranean islands.
I hadnt considered it being a colony. I always assumed the Allies gave the Soviets the WW1 german treatment and forced em to give up all of their colonial territories
It hasn't really been defined what the Allies precisely did to the Soviet Union, aside from fusioning their forces into GDI. In the campaign, the Soviet splinter faction / colony that you control is allied with GDI, so you could think of it as a mostly "given up" colony that is autonomous but still utilizing Soviet equipment.
Admittedly we haven't really focused too much on the story in DTA, partially because Westwood's existing story material isn't really well thought out either, and also because it's hard to actually tell a story well with the TS engine when you don't have the budget for making in-game videos. So, even if we actually wrote the greatest story ever, we couldn't present the story to the players in an interesting and meaningful way. Thus, I've left some freedom for the players to interpret things as they like and fill the gaps with their imagination.
I could definitely see it as a former soviet North African nation that was once a Soviet Colony. Maybe something like Libya only with way more Russians.
From what I can determine, in the Tiberium timeline, WW2 had claimed so many lives and a great deal of horrible atrocities were committed by the Soviet Union (the Greece incident comes to mind) that the Allies forcibly disbanded the USSR as part of their surrender. Rather than in the Red Alert timeline where they merely created a puppet regime when the war ended.
I do like your approach to the story, Less is more, maybe you can link a new campaign to the Soviet one?
It'd be kinda hard to make a campaign that continues the story. New campaigns or missions that reference the campaign aren't ruled out, though.
An example would be like, make some Allied prequel missions that lead up to the beginning of the Soviet campaign.
Maybe some of the Allies top labs are being raided in Germany for advanced technology sometime in the 60s or 70s and investigating them finds Albert Einstein dead and his prism and mirage technologies stolen
