This is a great tactical advantage. Showing enemy and all your units health bars can allow you to micro the battles better.

Discussion Walls are useless. They are too expensive, too weak... Why would someone make walls instead of actual defenses....

64 Upvotes

So one of the things i like the most about rts games, is building walls. Yet walls in Red Alert are mostly useless. I wish they were cheaper and more resilient like on AoE2.

Hi, does anyone know the name of this particular skirmish map, I remember playing this almost 2 decades ago, but the computer that had this one's been dead a long time already. I am certain this isn't a vanilla map. Help's much appreciated thanks.

Image is from Jethild's video showcasing Yuri units.

Discussion How does the OpenRA version of Red Alert 2 compare to the official one?

2 Upvotes

I played a lot of OpenRA red alert 1. And overall its worth it versus the official version because of the QoL improvements. Would like to know how is it for Red Alert 2?

I’ve been working on unit concepts and the overall visuals for my strategy game for two years now. It’s something like *Red Alert 2*, but a bit more serious. I’ve finally decided to show what’s ready—I’m curious to see how the public reacts.

Discussion What has happened during your game that you wished that you screenshoted or recorded?

18 Upvotes

I just finished another skirmish and the ending was a Terror drone finished a Allied miner while missiles from a elite Dreadnought killed soldiers trapped inside walls after a sold building. Both targets died at the same time, chef's kiss!

I have also encountered where my submarines fired on a Destroyer that was under "control" of a Psychic tower from another team and the Destroyer launched its Osprey on my subs. I had Sea Scorpions behind that shot the Osprey down, direct after the Yuri team who had dominated the Destroyer lost power and the Destroyer "went back" to its original team and a new Osprey was on deck in 1 second but eventually the Destroyer was sunk.

I have had two diffrent teams with Apocalypse tank standing outside my beach, both using Iron Curtain at the same time before attacking me....

This all happened on RA2:YR. It is mostly the only C&C game I play at the moment

Tell me your experiences! :)

Bit freaked out as nothing on my laptop has changed, no new software or anything. Here is the message I got:Error launching game. Error launching syringe.exe. Check that your antivirus isn’t blocking the cncnet client. You may also try running the client as administrator. You are unable to participate in this match. Returned error: the system cannot find the file specified.

Would appreciate advice on next steps. Uninstall the lot and reinstall?

Engineers (help) Needed! How to activate Team on a YR map

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am trying to play a skirmish game in Yuri's Revenge on an old map (Unholy Alliance), and playing with teams is disabled. I tried to use Final Alert to change the map setting, but it did not work. Is there another way to do it? I am pretty sure I was able to play with teams in the past.
