Rise of the East updates!

Banshee

Welcome back, Commander! The crew from Rise of the East has released a few tidbits on some of the features that they have been working on recently for their mod at their Discord Channel. For those who are not acquainted with it, Rise of the East is a modification for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge with Ares and Phobos. It introduces East Asia (China) and GLA from Generals as two new factions to the game. These two factions have single-player campaigns related to them. It uses CnCNet Client for fully featured multiplayer and many new and exclusive features, balance changes, improvements, a new map editor, and much more! Here is what we could catch and some videos with further details:

1. Upgrades and GPs now also apply to existing units
- 1a. Some units will be able to switch back and forth between forms, which is already possible via Ares for units but not for infantry, so this is new.
- For performance improvement reasons, I'll keep buildable upgraded units separate from their previous versions (see Comanche video), but this could change
2. Also showcasing Phobos' digital display feature - RotE will use HP value/value, shield value, and harvest percentage - maybe some others if I am bothered
3. Showing create voices again, too. I don't think I had it up in the showcase channel previously - with a cheeky delay on units so the voice comes out when they're almost out of WF, and so infantry don't spam their voices
4. Bonus - let's not forget to separate the Heli queue to vehicles (shared with aircraft though
