Скачать или смотреть Rise of the Reds Pre-SWR Version Generals Challenge

Hard difficulty

Everyone knows about Rise of the Reds, one of the big mods courtesy of SWR Productions (the same group behind Shockwave). What people don't know is that RotR was originally by a different group before it got transferred to SWR Productions. Russia's original incarnation has anti-matter reactors, a mobile supply stash, a version of the Sentinel that has two barrels like the Overlord, a different design of the Tremor, and jets that do not require unlocking.

The readme describes plans for the next version (before the mod got adopted by SWR Productions), namely the generals that the current version of RotR also intends to use (Rapid Deployment, Experimental Weapons, Tactical Ballistics).

Since this mod is technically the very first public upload, there are a lot of bugs. One of which has something to do with Townes' arsenal that prevents me from playing his map (and proceeding with the rest of the Generals Challenge).

While there's a lot of jank and the mod was in a rough state, you can see many ideas that would eventually make its way into the SWR version of the mod. For example, only the main battle tanks have smoke grenades and they only covered a single forward spot, while the SWR version gave the smoke grenades to many more vehicles.

Alas I didn't get to demonstrate all of the units, so I'll list a few of them here.
The FSB Agent is an unlockable infantry unit that can plant TNT Charges and covertly capture buildings without revealing itself. He was my go-to for Tao's map before realizing that the Berkuts are more convenient.
The Iskandar is a powerful and expensive artillery unit that fires two powerful missiles from a very distance range.
The TMW is a tesla tank. I barely remember it.

Not gonna lie, I like some of the voiceovers here compared to the SWR version. I like the enthusiasm of the Buratino ("To victory!") and the Sentinel here doesn't sound like it's trying too hard to sound deep and grumbling, but it still commands respect as an arrogant senior. ("I have found the cowards!")

Given the aforementioned technical issues regarding the Generals Challenge, I'm not making a GC compatibility addon for this mod. Plus, there's a GC submod for RotR 1.87 PB 2.0. At least there Russia gets the recovery vehicle that provides vital vehicle recovery.
