Essential improvements

Mods

Red Alert 3 Paradox:

An expansion/overhaul mod, with entirely rebalanced gameplay, expanded factions, new gametypes, graphical overhauls, and five new factions; stealth-based Confederate Revolutionaries, tower defense-inspired Atomic Kingdom of China, economy-focused Mediterranean Syndicate, Order of the Talon and Electrical Protectorate.

The Red Alert:

The original Red Alert recreated in the SAGE 2.0 engine

Red Alert 3: Shock Therapy:

A partial mod conversion of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. This mod tries to fix, improve and add content which vanilla Red Alert 3 missed, forgot, or unable to do.

Which ranges from:

  • Missing features from older RA titles
  • Graphical improvements
  • Sound and particle effects
  • Balance changes
  • Addition of new/campaign only units.
