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.

Four months of development, but hopefully worth the wait! Feel like I've said this a lot, but 2.2.12 is a big patch. It's main change is the inclusion of a brand new 5-mission campaign for the United States, marking the beginning of Red-Resurrection timeline. Furthermore the campaign features great voice acting and fully animated cutscenes between missions to tell the story in detail! Check out the trailer below.
The campaign can be found in the singleplayer menu of course, and although it can be played in any order I recommend going through them as listed for the story to make sense! Due to the size of the cutscenes I have put them up as a separate download, but please grab them before playing as they should massively improve the experience (and a lot of work went into them!).
That's not all however. Soviet Russia has received a replacement for the Tupolev, a jet which greatly added to their already potent frontline force. Instead, they receive a support power on T3 with the Air Strategy Control named the Judas Corps.
Judas Corps paradrops in 2 Spetsnaz infantry, equipped with a long range rifle and 'Blackout' EMP charges for use on structures. That is their main use, to sabotage enemy producted by disabling factories. This gives Russia another dimension and unique ability to slow down their enemy with subterfuge.
On top of that there are a bunch of new maps! 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
- Added a brand new 5-mission United States campaign, including full voice acting! The US has had enough of Libya's belligerence and launched an invasion with the goal of toppling it's president Hamza al-Sanussi - and thus beginning the Red-Resurrection story.
- ADDITION: the Judas Corps support power for Soviet Russia. Available at T3 from the Air Strategy Control, it paradrops 2 Spetsnaz special forces equipped with a long range anti-infantry rifle and anti-structure EMP bombs. Capable of disabling enemy structures for 45 seconds at a time. Replaces the Tupolev.
- 11 all new maps for skirmish and multiplayer.
- Improvements to several Red Alert 2 campaign missions, making them harder on higher difficulties.
- Hot new lava tilesets featured on many new and old maps.
- Reworked existing maps for more interesting strategies and improved balance.
- Many balance adjustments and bug fixes.

It's been a couple of months since the last patch for YR Red-Resurrection and in that time some significant changes have been made. Since the release of 2.2 I have been reworking countries that I felt were lacking, and the last of those was the United Kingdom, who have finally been given the attention they need in this release.
Calling in reinforcements from around the empire, the British Army is bolstered with special units capable of turning the tides of battle. Furthermore they gain the Pintail and Pop Shell, which replaces the Arms Jammer, and the Battle Fortress has been reworked.
Not only have the UK received additions however, Yugoslavia gains the Ironsmith, an infantry equipped to render your tank divisions unstoppable! As always, new maps have been added as well.
If you're interested in how those maps get made you can watch a timelapse of myself creating Close Encounter (2)! Remember to subscribe on YouTube for additional content.
Of course there are many balance changes, bug fixes, additional maps and more! Here's an overview of the entire patch:
Big Features
Reworked the United Kingdom, altering existing units and removing and replacing others, including-
- The Colonial Bureau for the UK on T2. Provides units at intervals depending on your tech tier; the Skitter on T1 - a fast amphibious harassment unit equpped with mines, the Gurkha on T3 - a steadfast versatile soldier and the Wildcat at T4 - a long range anti-unit artillery.
- The Pintail for the UK. An aircraft available at T3, replaces the Arms Jammer. Attaches a bomb to enemy vehicles that jams their weapons, and the weapons of surrounding vehicles, for 45 seconds.
- The Pop Shell support power for the UK. Spawns a tank bunker anywhere on the map, allowing you to fortify an area on the fly!
- The Ironsmith for Yugoslavia. And infantry on T3 who can attach charges to friendly vehicles which double their armour when activated!
- A new client feature; the Pick Random Map button, available in skirmish and multiplayer. Selects a random map based on the number of participants in the game.
- 7 all new maps in skirmish and multiplayer.
- A dozen reworked existing maps for more interesting strategies and improved balance.
- Many balance adjustments and bug fixes.

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.
You can view the full changelog here.

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

- 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
- Russian style wall towers should no longer display a missing string

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!

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.
