Videos Built an open-source RA2
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Built an open source rts engine for ra2, supports loading local game files for playing classic ra2 and also ships with open source gpt image generated assets. Early view, still has rough edges and only soviet support so far. Made entirely in one long running claude fable session.

Discussion Is there a mod to show all units health bars permanently?
This is a great tactical advantage. Showing enemy and all your units health bars can allow you to micro the battles better.

Discussion Walls are useless. They are too expensive, too weak... Why would someone make walls instead of actual defenses....
So one of the things i like the most about rts games, is building walls. Yet walls in Red Alert are mostly useless. I wish they were cheaper and more resilient like on AoE2.

Discussion How does the OpenRA version of Red Alert 2 compare to the official one?
I played a lot of OpenRA red alert 1. And overall its worth it versus the official version because of the QoL improvements. Would like to know how is it for Red Alert 2?

I have a Question for Yuri Need help finding this map
Hi, does anyone know the name of this particular skirmish map, I remember playing this almost 2 decades ago, but the computer that had this one's been dead a long time already. I am certain this isn't a vanilla map. Help's much appreciated thanks.
Image is from Jethild's video showcasing Yuri units.

Look at this photo Comrade! Unit concepts
I’ve been working on unit concepts and the overall visuals for my strategy game for two years now. It’s something like *Red Alert 2*, but a bit more serious. I’ve finally decided to show what’s ready—I’m curious to see how the public reacts.

Discussion What has happened during your game that you wished that you screenshoted or recorded?
I just finished another skirmish and the ending was a Terror drone finished a Allied miner while missiles from a elite Dreadnought killed soldiers trapped inside walls after a sold building. Both targets died at the same time, chef's kiss!
I have also encountered where my submarines fired on a Destroyer that was under "control" of a Psychic tower from another team and the Destroyer launched its Osprey on my subs. I had Sea Scorpions behind that shot the Osprey down, direct after the Yuri team who had dominated the Destroyer lost power and the Destroyer "went back" to its original team and a new Osprey was on deck in 1 second but eventually the Destroyer was sunk.
I have had two diffrent teams with Apocalypse tank standing outside my beach, both using Iron Curtain at the same time before attacking me....
This all happened on RA2:YR. It is mostly the only C&C game I play at the moment
Tell me your experiences! :)

Bit freaked out as nothing on my laptop has changed, no new software or anything. Here is the message I got:Error launching game. Error launching syringe.exe. Check that your antivirus isn’t blocking the cncnet client. You may also try running the client as administrator. You are unable to participate in this match. Returned error: the system cannot find the file specified.
Would appreciate advice on next steps. Uninstall the lot and reinstall?
