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 200 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.
Some of our older multiplayer maps haven't stood the test of the time very well. [8] Frozen Wasteland was one of them.
It felt amazing when I made it as a 16-year-old back in 2011, but in retrospect, it had a lot of room for improvement. And its issues have only got worse with gameplay design changes we've made since then - the map simply wasn't very suitable for modern DTA gameplay.
Because I still like the original design, I decided to spend a couple hours on improving it, including:
- reducing details as the original suffered from overdetailing
- widening chokepoints and paths
- removing extra trees from the way of expansion paths
- replacing some tiberium fields with ore fields to make infantry more viable for offense
- making the lighting slightly brighter
This new "Redux" version of the map should provide a more enjoyable experience.
