And that's just skimming the surface! To go into a bit more detail, let's take a look one of the coolest additions - the Vandal Scraptank.
A new tier 4 'monster tank' for Confederation, this beast is only available from a support power attached to the Revolutionary Headquarters. It only costs $1500 to spawn 3 of these bad boys, but before they can become too powerful they have to earn some kills! With each veterancy level the tank attaches more armour and weaponry, eventually becoming a formidable weapon that can turn the tides of battle.
Furthermore, navy has seen a number of additions to make that lacklustre area of combat more interesting. Both factions now get repair ships - the Rig and Lifeboat - as well as helicopter carriers - the War Turtle and Crocodile. This to add another layer of combat, where anti-aircraft can be a requirement and to help mixing of different unit types.
Moreover the Gunboat has been replaced with the Minisub, making early game engagements potentially more interesting. All pre-existing vessels have had balance adjustments as well.
Of course there are more new maps as always, ranging from 1v1 to 3v3. Here are a few examples:
Of course there are many balance changes too, bug fixes and so on! Here's an overview of the entire patch:
Big Features
- Addition: Minisub. Replaces the Gunboat for the Allies. A small submarine, good against light ships.
- Additions: Rig and Lifeboat, for the Allies and Soviets respectively. Repair ships available at the Naval Yard.
- Additions: War Turtle and Crocodile Heli-hauler, for the Allies and Soviets respectively. Available at the Naval Yard with either Airforce Command HQ or Air Strategy Centre. A long range attack helicopter carrier, good vs enemy vessels, structures and off-shore bombardment.
- Additions: Charge Thrower and Torpedo Tower, for the Allies and Soviets respectively. Available with the Naval Yard, these two are defensive structures for use on water, with good range and sensors, intended to better protect the shore allowing fleets to spend their time elsewhere.
- Addition: Vandal Invasion, support power for Confederation at the Revolutionary Headquarters. For $1500 credits it spawns 3 Vandal Scraptanks at the HQ, which are quick anti-tank vehicles. Their speciality is the ability to upgrade themselves with each veterancy level, gaining strength, firepower and anti-air / anti-infantry rockets as well! Furthermore they can enter Resistance Tunnels, allowing for powerful strikes anywhere on the battlefield.
- AI updates including nerfs to support power usage and Chronosphere support.
- New interactable natural features such as Destructible Rocks and Tornadoes (map specific).
- 9 all new maps for skirmish and multiplayer.
- Reworked over a dozen existing maps for more interesting strategies and improved balance.
- Tonnes of significant balance adjustments and bug fixes.

The next patch is well underway and possibly the most game-changing yet as it includes alterations to several countries- more on those can be read on the relevant images below.
As well as those, there is certainly more to come, the usual host of balance changes and many new maps.
Community YouTube Content
Lots of people have started uploading multiplayer games of Red-Resurrection. Check out their channels and subscribe to follow for future matches.
A 2v2 on Sovereign's channel:
A 1v1 from JackoDerp:
And a 1v1 from WavePy:
Often these videos feature some of the new upcoming content first, so worth a watch if you're interested in seeing how the latest changes play in action, and of course you can always join the Discord channel to get involved yourself!
That's all this update but as always the next patch isn't too far away and should definitely see the mod shape up into something even more complete, polished and fun to play!

Release Date and Live Stream Update
The fourth live stream of Red-Resurrection aired on Friday the 1st of November. It went pretty... well the first half hour was a technical disaster but the latter part more than made up for it! It's been uploaded in a cut down form to only include the sucessful games of which there were some good ones, including Doomhammer's incredible (and frankly unbelievable) victory in a 2v2.
During the stream I made an important announcement, which is the release date. Red-Resurrection Multiplayer Beta 2 will be released on the 11th of December 2013!
Starting on the 1st of December I'll begin revealing parts of this huge ingame screenshot on ModDB a day at a time. The full resolution is a whopping 6060 x 2640 and features every constructable unit in the mod. Certainly big enough to full up several screens worth.
Below is the 1st November stream on YouTube.
Subscibe to us on YouTube to keep up with the live streams and follow Doomhammer on Twitch.tv
So keep watching, starting 1st December things should get interesting. Prepare for resurrection! Or something...

Woohoo! Finally I think it's ready for a release and to be honest I am proud of how this turned out, ignoring some outstanding changes that didn't make this release. I know I said I'd release Classic with this but that will come with the next version which isn't too far away, one which will be totally perfect in my mind, maybe including some taster campaign missions too! So for now you will have to settle with this, Apocalypse 1.50 which includes many changes to existing units, creation of some new units, tech tree adjustments, new sounds, new animations, new weapons and new balance ready for the more sci-fi hold taking place.
I have hand crafted and hand mashed a new trailer together, as I did for the first version, which will hopefully win you over if your not sure if you want to download this or not. So, you can watch the trailer on YouTube by clicking this sentence or download higher quality below.
Watched the trailer (Cheers for the music Apollo
)? Good. Now you're mine, download the new Apocalypse below and its theme packs (Same as last version's) if you haven't got them already:[C&C Apocalypse 1.50 Launcher Download]
[Theme Pack 1]
[Theme Pack 2]
This mod requires NPatch SE 20 installed to work correctly, so download and install that too!
[NPatch SE #0020]
