Rise of the East v1.01 Released
After working on and off on this mod I finally have a good enough version open for the public to download.
v1.01 brings in CnCNet5 Client support among other new features thanks to the Ares DLL extension.
There is no single player capability yet but there are 4 countries playable in multiplayer; America and Germany for the Allies. China and North Korea for the Eastern Empire.
What is RotE about?
Rise of the East is a mod for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge and was created with graphic & balance improvements, new features and playstyle variety in mind.
Balancing
- Yuri: Was flat out broken in the vanilla game and a lot of players would agree. By breaking his faction into two, one specializing in stealth/ambush and the other psionics I hope to bring balance to this faction.
- Lack of variety: Most units go unused and some units are too good to go without. RotE presents the player with units specialized at different roles and less one trick ponies.
- Weak infantry: All infantry should be useful no matter their tier requirement. They've been made cheaper and were given strengths based on role/tier. For example, Tier 2 anti-tank infantry cannot be crushed by vehicles. They've been made more susceptible to anti-infantry weapons to counter this buff.
Each country has their own unique weapons systems and support powers, the new side, Eastern Empire (or East Asia if you wish) focuses on the following:
China - Highly flammable weapons and self buffs
North Korea - Long range assault via missiles
The story
The campaign will be heavily focused on the Soviets (following the Allied victory), starting from the beginning of YR as they go back in time to stop their defeat, they go back further than necessary (no, not to kill dinos) to the day of the East Asian defeat by the Allies.. stay tuned for more.
What's to come?
The next version will have the Soviets ready to go for skirmish and multiplayer. Future versions will include a revamped client unique to the mod, new multiplayer maps, singleplayer campaign and much more.
