Patch 2.2.8 for YR Red-Resurrection has been released! This one's been somewhat delayed but it has all been for good reasons. In the background, or rather on the discord channel, this patch has been gestating and tested on a weekly basis to include bigger changes than can be achieved in a simple one month patch!

Big Features

• EUROPEAN COUNTRY REWORK- Chrono Legionnaires have been moved to T3, and Sonic Enforcers moved up to T4, with related balance tweaks. This is to help make Europe slightly easier to combat on T3, as the Sonic Enforcer/Bishop combo was incredibly powerful, but it also provides them with more mobility and versatility earlier on. Chrono Legionnaires were also underused in multiplayer, making them more relevant now. Furthermore, Speedways have been completely removed and instead Warp Nodes now also buff the speed of surrounding units.
• UNIVERSAL SELF HEAL CHANGE- Thanks to a new feature from AlexB, the developer of Ares, it is now possible for combat to prevent self healing- and that is applied to Red-Resurrection. Now, a unit will not self heal for 10 seconds after taking damage. This is great as it prevents certain units being unkillable in certain situations due to out healing damage, such as a single Rocketeer vs a Crazy Ivan. This affects most units in the mod, so healing may be adjusted in future patches to compensate.
• TWENTY-TWO BRAND NEW MULTIPLAYER MAPS- many made exclusively for this mod, and all of great quality!
• And dozens more changes, including many balance adjustments, bug fixes and graphical tweaks.

Here are a few of the new maps.

After a couple of weeks of balance testing, a new patch is released that contains a bunch of fixes for things, balance changes and new artwork.
 

Due to the overwhelming traffic from users using the website and downloading updates the website has been offline for the last 15 days as bandwidth was exceeded. As such I will restrict future updates to likely one per month, unless there's some desperate fix needed, and encourage people to download the manual install from ModDB when possible.
Here's a complete list of changes below.

Changelog
  - Updated Ares to latest test build
  - Updated manual
  - Updated AI:
    - Should now build more ore miners
    - Now functions with less money, and less cheating (unless Brutal AI is enabled). Denying miners can actually cripple their eco
    - Can now build and use the Cybernetics Core
    - Gets to T4 slower, building other things first instead
    - Should build more defences (particularly anti-air)
  - Updated missions:
    - S06: can no longer build Iron Curtain
  - Snow Place Like Home (4): fixed visible light posts and shroud glitch at the top of the map
  - Wojtek HP increased from 1250 to 1400
  - Liberty Tank HP increased from 650 to 750
  - Bishop HP reduced from 600 to 500
  - Prism Tank HP reduced from 1000 to 900
  - Combat Drugs: 50% firepower bonus replaced with a 40% rate of fire boost
  - Lightning Storm superweapon area of effect increased from 16 to 20
  - Flamethrower has gotten a new cameo
  - Bazooka cameo updated
  - Psi Corps Trooper has gotten a new cameo
  - Desolator has gotten a new cameo
  - Dante HP decreased from 900 to 800
  - Hammer Tank HP increased from 750 to 850
  - Tesla Mammoth damage per bolt increased from 140 to 180
  - Perun damage per lightning bolt reduced from 200 to 150
  - Flak Cannon received new artwork
  - Fusion Thrusters:
    - Duration reduced from 1 minute to 45 seconds
    - Speed boost reduced from 60% to 50% increase
    - Now also boosts rate of fire by 50% but decreases firepower by 25% (so an effective 25% firepower increase)
  - Mammoth Tank:
    - Now has a cameo (in case of being reverse engineered)
    - Cost reduced from 1750 to 1500
    - HP reduced from 1800 to 1500

Soviet invasion confirmed! This is not a drill! YR Red-Resurrection 2.2 is finally here, no joke!

It is by the far biggest update to the mod ever, having taken the last year to develop (to the month), driven largely by the interest and feedback fromt the little discord community that has developed. The original goal was simply to port the mod to the CnCNet 5 client, making it possible to play online again and increase accessibility, but as it went along it resulted in almost totally overhauling the eight countries as well, making them very individual and unique.
 

Tonnes of work has gone into this and I definitely want to thank the testers and contributors for making it possible and, largely, a fun experience.   Particularly a thanks needs to go to Starkku for making this entire thing possible by providing lots of technical support, particularly with the client, and the toolset he has developed.

And now its out!

Features

• Two factions, the Allies and the Soviets with all new arsenals.
• Four countries per faction, each with 12-15 unique units, structures and support powers.
• An entirely rebalanced experience with rapid, dynamic gameplay providing the player with plenty of opportunities for attack.
• Over 140 new units, structures & support powers (with 75+ added in this patch alone!).
• Over 300 multiplayer maps and several game modes, including Dead Resurrection - where infantry killed in combat rise from the dead.
• The vanilla Red Alert 2 campaign ported to work with the additional content of Red-Resurrection.
• The CnCNet 5 client from rampastring & Starkku, with additional unique features.
• Also includes an offline manual and map editor!

Development on the upcoming version of YR Red-Resurrection started back in May, and since then there has been massive progress, perhaps the most productive modding year of my life. Just in the last 7 months or so there have been over 80 new units & powers added to the eight countries, with constant multiplayer balance testing along the way which has largely driven development. This has not been a release built on theory but on practice, so hopefully when the mod finally gets to you it will feel polished and well rounded, and as quality as a more-or-less one man developer can make it.

Here is a recap of the recent country showcases that have been uploaded already to ModDB.
 

Only Yugoslavia and Japan left to show off, though even then these are not all the unique features of each nation. I hope to find time to do some more detailed previews and explanations of the countries later.

The release is not all that far away either. I wanted to get it out before the end of the year, however that won't quite happen, but early sometime next year is not an unreasonable goal. Work on wrapping up the mod has been ongoing for a little while, such as writing the manual to explain all the new stuff!

The next version will actually come with an OFFLINE manual (as well as it being available on the web) that you can get to by simply clicking a button in the main menu. The manual will feature lore and explanations on each unit as well as hopefully all the necessary info you need to get a grasp of the different countries, such as with the following example.
 

I've been trying to make it as user friendly and useful as possible. Here is a nifty little toggle feature that allows you to easily swap between viewing all or specific country units on each page!
 

That should allow decent customisation in the way you want to view the information, without cluttering up the screen or being particularly distracting. Anyway, there has been plenty more going on and development shall continue rapidly, so stay tuned and follow here or on Facebook for more little snippets of info!
 

Resurrected for CnCNet 5

In the two years since the last update I totally quit Yuri's Revenge modding after being tired with combating the engine and running out of stamina when it came to adding additional content, which felt like a strange necessity as if there was some kind of bloat war taking place in my mind. Knowing however that the mod was no longer easily accessible with the shutdown of CnCNet 4, I have decided to go back and update it for CnCNet 5, bringing with it the new interface and client to play the mod more easily. Here is a preview of the interface:
 

I cannot stress enough how vital Starkku of Project Phantom has been to this effort in providing his build of the client and supporting my use of it, and of course Rampastring for making it in the first place. What's more is that the mod is being updated with additional content and sweeping tech tree changes. There are dozens more units, mainly focusing on making each of the countries more unique in capability and playstyle as well as new gamemodes, more multiplayer maps to play on and a conversion of the original Red Alert 2 campaign for funsies.
 

Progress on this update is steady and I aiming to get it out before the end of the year. In the meantime here is a 1v1 match played between Alstar as Japan and Asylum as the Confederation.
 

If you would like to playtest the new build then I am running an open beta on the YR Red-Resurrection discord channel. So join in and give your feedback!
