Over time, the experimental aspect changed into a more proper, formalized continuation of 1.87 development, with an increased focus on resolving bugs and balance concerns, along with introducing new mechanics that follow the spirit of original ROTR. Drawing lessons from my previous community patch, it was meant to solve a number of longstanding bugs for Version 1.87 Public Build 2.0, as well as introduce a few experimental changes. HP is the product of the long hiatus that Rise of the Reds experienced starting from 2018. The_Hunter649 suggested making one many months ago, but we got around to it only now. Hello everyone, and welcome to the first article for the HanPatch ModDB page! Additional features are currently planned to include two story-driven campaigns and a new game mode akin to Zero Hour's iconic Generals Challenge. Thus, vanilla factions in the original Zero Hour sense will no longer be present in the 2.0 version. Unlike Zero Hour where generals were chosen during the match setup,ROTR's sub-factions will be chosen in-game at the very start of the battle, as it was originally intended in the unreleased beta version of Generals. The next major release version 2.0 will bring generals back into the game, allowing you to choose between 15 all-new sub-factions (3 per faction) that further capitalise on the tactical themes of their parent factions. Aside from adding many new units, special powers and visual overhauls for all five factions, the release was tied to the premiere of SWR.net, our very own online multiplayer service which is organically integrated in the ROTR executable and allows you to enjoy exciting multiplayer battles with players around the world via a virtual network. The most recent version 1.85 was released in April 2015. Beyond the gameplay aspect, the mod also brings many cosmetical updates, spectacular special effects and custom sounds and voice overs to the table. Examples include a technology progression system based around three tiers, a more fleshed out counter system between air and anti-air units as well as an additional emphasis on specialised scouting and detection units which serve to make stealth tactics a more viable option than they were in the original game. ROTR also changes some of the game mechanics in order to create a unique and fresh experience. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.

Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it.
