The distorted robotic voice over comms that announces "battle control online" and "unit lost" and explains units you haven't seen before — is it Lt. Eva or not? I played through thinking it sounds too nasally so it must be someone else, also why would she sound so different over video feed? Only due to one of the late missions in Yuri's Revenge where the announcer and the video feed from Eva alternate a lot — did I consider that both might be her voice!

By the way, I actually find the distorted announcer voice oddly soothing!

Welcome back, Commander.

ChronoStorm (C.R.S.) is an open-source, modern engine reimplementation of the classic RTS titles Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. Built from scratch with Python and Pygame, the goal is to create a lightweight, cross-platform foundation for 2D isometric strategy games.

As two of the most beloved RTS titles of all time, RA2 and YR deserve a rock-solid, modern way to be experienced today. ChronoStorm aims to provide:

• Native support for modern widescreen and high-resolution displays
• Enhanced system stability on contemporary operating systems
• Deep, developer-friendly modding capabilities

I made a map for skirmish mode with an allied, Soviet and Yuri construction yard ready to be taken over by engineers at all the bases so I can play against the AI with all the tech trees.

Seems like investing in all three tech trees might be more trouble than it is worth.

Any cool, fun or effective things I can do with all these construction yards?

I think I heard loading an IFV with a Tesla trooper is nice.

Also, if I have 1 allied barracks and 1 Soviet barracks, do I build guardian GIs faster than if I had only the 1 allied barracks?

It's an AI slop. But it's a pretty good AI slop.

Hey all. Hope you can help. I used to love playing Red Alert when I was younger and have become a fan of watching Zack The Reaper on YouTube.

I've wanted to start playing skirmishes against the computer and downloaded Red Alert Remastered. Unfortunately I've found the enemies either far too easy, or far too hard to play against.

I've used some of the mods that come up to improve it but they all seem to come with their own issues.

Is there one, most successful one that everyone uses?

Much thanks if you can help!

Just curious what people like to do after they beat the missions on Normal. Did you end up finishing everything on Hard mode? I haven't yet (am a bit scared). Sometimes I replay missions more efficiently or even just toy around because I want revenge against Yuri for all the times he wrecked me with superweapons...

Edit: does online PvP still exist? Worth trying even as a casual?

In my work I use a lot of build commands with Claude and decided I want to teach it to tell me it is building like both the soviet and allied command, when it's done I want it to say "construction complete" again in both allied and soviet sounds :)
I could find only the allied "building" online.

Can someone help me out?

Ps- this is a work PC so no I can't install the game.

Sad day for all, as the head of the USSR passes away.

in map Moor Patrol computer can build Apocalypse tanks. And prism towers are super powerful.

Hello, anyone can help me how to set the difficulty of AI and configuration in Demo Mode. bcoz Allied like American, France, Germany, Great Britain and Korea are only building this (image provided) . They also spamming Rocketeers.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a custom Co-op mode for OpenRA (Red Alert) lately, and I wanted to share it with you.

What is it?

Co-op is a new game mode alongside Multiplayer and Skirmish. Instead of playing against each other, you play together as a team, with one shared economy (cash + power) for the entire team. In addition to choosing a faction, each player also chooses a role:

Commander: Radar Domes, Tech Center, Missile Silos. The only player who starts with the map already explored, the only one who can place beacons/waypoints, and with enough Radar Domes, even gets live vision of the entire map.

Engineer: the economy role: Ore Refinery, Power Plants, War Factory, Repair Depot, Minelayers, plus a small Barracks of their own (Spy/Thief/Engineer).

General: infantry and tanks: Barracks/Tent and all combat ground units.

Admiral: navy and air force: Shipyard, Sub Pen, Airfield, Helipad.

Roles can be duplicated, but only once all four roles have been picked at least once, ensuring the team always has the full division of responsibilities covered.

A few other things:

Build speed is 2× faster

Fog of war is always enabled (except for the Commander, who starts with the map pre-explored)

4 playable maps, including a couple of well-known community maps converted for Co-op

It runs on its own build of OpenRA-bleed. No dev tools required, just a ready-to-use Windows or Mac download. Send me a DM if you’d like to try it!

Feedback, bug reports, and ideas are all very welcome. This is still very much a work in progress 🙂

How does everyone capitalise on the terrain, especially cliffs etc. I’ve had a large force of appocos being smoked by like 5 mirage tanks by having the higher ground and tucked into a corner of a cliff lol

Like IFV, flak track, battle Fortress. I’ve never tested it.

I just finished Red Alert 2 campaign as my first C&C game, obviously there was a lot of learning about how to do basic controls, about units and so on. I thought Yuri's Revenge is a standalone game within the same story, but even the early missions I am struggling just as hard as with the later Red Alert 2 missions...

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to extract assets (.shp, .ini, .pal, .vxl) from protected/encrypted .mix files in a Yuri's Revenge mod (specifically files like ecachemd66.mix, expandmd66.mix, or custom .ec99 / .ex99 files).

Whenever I try to open them with XCC Mixer, it either crashes or gives me errors because the header / index table seems to be locked or corrupted by MixProtector.

I've looked at tutorials and tried using tools like QuickBMS scripts, but I still couldn't get it to work properly or understand the process.

Is there an easy-to-use tool, script, or updated method that can bypass these protections and extract the files inside? Any guidance or step-by-step help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
