SWR Productions Forum _ Rise of the Reds _ How much is ready and how active is the mod scene?

Posted by: ReLaX 22 Jun 2009, 17:04

Basically what the title sais, how much is ready to play?
I search some players for good games on higher skill levels.
And is the europe mod completly in rotr?

No ECA in yet, that comes in around 2.0.
The mod is very active, with a 1.5 release due fairly soon. We have no release date though, as usual.
I think the player base at the moment is very inactive, most people still stick to Shockwave, but that will change when 1.5 goes active.

I thought you at least followed RotR a little ReLaX

Don't expect to be able to play high skill games on ROTR though, as the balance that is required for that isn't there, for good reason as it's useless to balance a mod which is not even near it's end content.

Exactly this.
At a realy rough % we are right now at about 35/40% of completion. (the mod as a whole not 1.5)

No Nidmeister, honestly I totally forgot about it as the balance was just awful.
Someone spoke to me over MSN if I still play and today I search again for it.

What I cannot see is what factions are playable in the currecnt version 1.2.
The Rise of the Reds Update Archive has also a yellow font, which is very hard to read.

The factions in Rise of the Reds won't be balanced until the final release as they have access to many of the technologies that are going to be otherwise unavailable to the Generals. In ROTR 2.0 there will not be any vanilla factions as you now know them. I can't go into details about who is going to have unit x and unit y because that is classified at this time.

What I will say, however, is that the playing experience will become a lot more fun with every new release as new stuff gets added. The current public beta of ROTR was merely an appetiser before the main course.
