Post news RSS Updates: Horde of the Red Army Part 1

This is an update about the new PLA infantry with some backstory.

Posted by on

The invasion of the red army has begun! People Liberation Army has advanced across Eastern Europe to take control over the Western Europe to fuel its ambitious global military campaign led by a newly elected communist party. With the support of its political allies, the red army now has grown even far stronger and fiercer than ever before!

PLA "Hongweibing (or Red Guards)" squad is the frontline operative unit in PLAGF consisted of the youthfuls, disciples and volunteers. The lack of experiences among them are substituted by their overwhelming number.

Armaments: Type-56 rifle, Type-86 grenades and a bayonet.
Body armours: None.
Capture time: 40 seconds.


PLA "Weibing (or Guards)" squad is the light infantrymen of PLAGF that are capable of performing a wide range of combat tactics in conventional warfare. They are one of the most mobile and versatile operation units in PLAGF, and they are not to be underestimated.

Armaments: Type-81 assault rifle, Type-86P grenades (upgraded to Type-91B under-barrel grenade launcher) and Type-67 anti-tank grenades (upgraded to Type-69 rocket propelled grenade.)
Body armours: Protector Mk.III.
Capture time: 25 seconds.


PLA "Hei-lianhua (or Black Lotus)" agent is famed for her illustrious expertise in both computer hacking and field infiltration operations. She is also a talented pistol user; her precision is as sharp as her mind. Her skills are as deadly as her utmost beauty, and many have fallen to her noxious allure.

Armaments: QSW-06 suppressed pistol and DCM-07 EMP grenade.
Extra Equipments: PLA's NS-01 adv. field laptop.
Body armours: None.
Capture time: 25 seconds.


PLA "Baowei (or Wards)" squad is one of the fire support teams of PLAGF. They can provide sustained-fire or steady bursts for other operative units in their area. No other infantry could go so easily through them without bullet holes in their chests.

Armaments: Type-81 light machine gun, Type-86P grenades and CY-03 smoke grenade.
Body armours: Protector Mk.III.
Capture time: 32 seconds.



PLA "Baoguan (or Keepers)" squad is the primary fire support team of PLAGF. They provide sturdier and more powerful firepower than light machine gun teams that could even penetrate lightly armoured vehicles. Their static nature makes them extremely venerable to many threats on the battlefield if unprotected.

Armaments: Type-67 general-purpose machine gun with deployable tripod.
Body armours: None.

World War III has just begun, and the world is falling apart.

To be continued ...

Squad-based combat was one of my favorite features in Tiberium Wars, because it made combat seem more realistic.

However, if I remember correctly from Rise of the Reds (Volunteer Squads), a certain number of "squads" in Zero Hour engine would cause quite a FPS drop (due to the game engine, I presume).

I was wondering(considering also its enhanced graphical settings), how do Squads perform in your mod?

Normal infantry are trained in group of a certain number like the original Red Guard's production. You still control individual unit.

Weapon teams are one unit with the facade of numerous operators in them. They kind of work like Nuke Cannon; they have to be deployed before firing.

tldr; no Angry Mob code :P
