  1. And as far as RA1 is concerned, Funky's installer at https://funkyfr3sh.cnc-comm.com/ has the option of installing the game from both the Allied and Soviet discs.
  2. It still kinda hints at free releases of RA2/YR/Ren, which don't exist I get what you guys are trying to do with that, but that particular wording can't go right in this case. (I also can't think of a reputable game server that you have to pay for.)
  3. Bikes are particularly useful for, and are indeed used in multiplayer for, Harvester harassment, same as GDI Pitbulls.
  4. Well, in RA1 they can damage V2s, and in RA2 they can actually deal some damage Tiberian Dawn - APC (except when full of Engis). A weak machine gun with not-so-good armour? We've got Humvees for that. Red Alert 1 - Thief. There's a reason they were merged with the Spy in the sequel. Tiberian Sun - Attack Bike. Why would they not attack aircraft except when elite? To give Rocket Infantry the only reason to be trained in non-Firestorm games? Firestorm - Limpet Drone. Obviously. Red Alert 2 - Terrorist. Too fragile and needs to be adjacent to his target to detonate. Crazy Ivan isn't far off, but at least he does more damage and is amusing. Yuri's Revenge - Brute. Unless you can really be sure you're about to engage tanks and nothing more, these are worthless. Renegade - didn't play MP yet (for shame!) Generals / Zero Hour / Tiberium Alliances - no idea, don't care much for them. Tiberium Wars - Mothership. While it packs quite a punch, it's too slow and tough to get where it needs to be, plus you have to consider friendly fire. Kane's Wrath - Ravager. As much as I love their idea, they're too expensive for an anti-infantry infantry unit with an ability that requires them to approach a likely guarded Tiberium field. Red Alert 3 - Striker-VX/Chopper-VX. A 50% more expensive inverted Tengu, no thanks. Uprising - didn't play much, but I'd go for the Mortar Cycle, everything about it seems redundant, and the Soviets got the weakest additions when the others got weapons of Kill Map Now. Tiberian Twilight - the entire game
  5. The general design is pretty good, well done to everyone involved! It's also nice to once again see a Renegade server list. The only thing I'd change are the somewhat misleading (especially in the case of RA2/YR/Ren) "Download & Play Online, Free" buttons. Why not change that text to simply "Download Client" or something?
  6. Sounds like simplifying a system that should already be working well.
  7. Neither was my project, which makes me sad still. Welp, guess I could dive into your new font editor...
  8. Is that the one you made when I was doing my now-lost Croatian localization? :O
  9. Until a better solution is found for the original retail discs, try this: http://forums.cncnz.com/topic/19497-original-ra2yr-cds-vs-windows-10/?do=findComment&comment=225594
  10. They're both equally awesome.
  11. Psssh. Nah it isn't Now look deeply into my eyes, and say that again
  12. It's important to note that TS/RA2/YR screenshots come in PCX format, which Microsoft no longer has a program to open (not since they dropped the MS Photo Editor from Office 2003), so you'll need a Photoshop equivalent, and put the pixel aspect ratio to 1 manually (PS sets it to 0,56 for no reason). Ares is smart and uses BMP instead
  13. Someone else just had a similar problem in Kane's Wrath very recently, but believed it was due to the newest 1.02+ map pack. Seems it isn't... Check if rolling back to your previous driver version fixes this.
  14. It's all just the Renegade mods made by the team. RA A Path Beyond, TS Reborn, RA2 Apocalypse Rising, Imperial Age and BFD War of Assassins.
  15. CNCNZ.com, the C&C subreddit, GameReplays.org, Revora. And I occasionally peek here, on PPM, and W3D Hub. Plus, I run the Wiki.
  16. Okay, you got me, but who sane uses TFD without 1.03? (I'd still like to examine the differences between 1.02 TFD and retail Gen/ZH executables, though).
  17. 1) Speak English, this is an international forum. 2) Contact EA support, they are the only ones who can help you with that issue.
  18. Windows 10 didn't do much to Generals and Tiberium Wars. The only thing that's different is that the SafeDisc driver comes disabled or removed, which makes retail versions of Generals and Zero Hour a bit more difficult to install (TFD and TUC versions are not affected). Generals and Zero Hour had such a shit engine from the get-go anyway that even modern Steam Greenlight abusers can cough up something more stable.
  19. Red Alert Mobile had a 2D version for Nokia OVI Ex-Westwood Pacific staff member Mark Skaggs made Death Gear, for which he tried to connect with some community members. Westwood co-founder Louis Castle worked on the generically-named War Commander: Rogue Assault.
  20. Configure your firewall and antivirus not to block MO, YR and the CnCNet client.
  21. It is (mods don't usually stack, which is why I pointed it out). Did you properly install the mods that do have the Tesla Tank, in the proper directory and running the game with the correct parameters?
  22. AFAIK, version 1.13 is a fanmade mod thing http://www.moddb.com/mods/red-alert-3-community-patch-113
  23. Total games released: 24 (+2 from Pogo, closed on 31 December 2010) Total games cancelled: 10 (+2 from Pogo) Released, not counting expansions: 13 (+2 from Pogo)
  24. Kudos to C&C Wiki user Darth Tenebra and CnCSaga.com! http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_Alert_Alliances
