Phase Transport This unit has also ditched APTusk in order to get its own unique weapon. The new one doesn't look at all like the Rocket Soldier's attack because it doesn't work like it. The new Phase Transport fires two bursts of missiles after each other, each burst containing two missiles. They ...

Chrono Tank Have changed the weapon from "APTusk" to a new "ChronoZooka". APTusk (also used by Phase Transport) looks like a Rocket Soldier missile but isn't, it deals its own amount of damage and can't target aircraft. This new weapon is the same as what the Rocket Soldier has, just with faster fi...

Figured out all the kinks in the production pipeline and now and produced something closer to what I have in mind. It's not finished yet as I still have to hand paint some minor details and lighting in places that look abit flat. Here's the 3d Model now after the latest edits, the cartoonification ...

Shock Trooper and Tesla Tank + Tesla Coil's zap Currently it's pretty hard to get a grasp of how Shock Trooper and Tesla Tank scales in the game. So in overhaul I've made sure that you can easily figure them out by using the Tesla Coil DPS as reference. First I'll mention that the Tesla Coil's Tesl...

@JOo: Cool to hear! I know about GitHub but I'd rather focus on just the thread at the moment. Maybe someone that hangs around on GitHub can pass on some of the things I've found? I'm hoping at least one of the old devs hangs out on the forum. Barracks and Allied Tech Center 1) Barracks health down ...

On the contrary to finding it odd that Allies can build Hind I found it odd that the Soviet could build Hinds in the original Red Alert. I didn't know about the name, just saw that Soviet got more air units. Personally I think it's nice and orderly that the Allied arsenal has all helicopters while t...

Will stream next Monday (Feb. 27th) with your mod. Is the mod .zip constantly updated or have all these documentation updates been part of the mod all along? They've been there all along, I spent slightly over a month working full-time on overhaul to make sure I could release all at once. So those ...
