I may. It may not look so pretty, but I can

[Svea Rike]

Is it ROTR or RotR, because two different acronyms doesn't look good, especially when right next to each other. Personally, ROTR looks better but RotR looks more natural. Which is standard? Maybe we should have a poll?

[MARS]

ROTR seems to be preferred.

[Pickysaurus]

Launcher files in the game are named ROTR.

Also MARS has spoken!

[Svea Rike]

Does the flag for the Pacific Peace Alliance still exist, because I created a page for it.

[MARS]

It does exist, although it was probably more of a logo/mission patch seeing how briefly this alliance survived.

[Svea Rike]

I mean, does it still exist in real life in the servers, so it can be added to the page?

My god, I need to read this!

[Svea Rike]

I see you've updated the timeline MARS.

Okay, so it is described how the ancient Sentinel Tank and Tremor AGAS looks like. Can someone please post a picture (rendition preferred, no need to apologize if rendition is unable to be found) of the ancient Sentinel Tank and Tremor AGAS? (When I refer to ancient, I mean when the Russian Airfield had a hammer and sickle rotation pad. In other words, pre-SWR.)

This, I have to read.

They don't look that bad actually.

[Shiro]

Considering these were made 10 years ago, they were indeed fairly nice for their time.

[MARS]

As far as lore's concerned, these two did actually exist. One is presumably an early, more conventional testbed for the Tremor, the other one is the failed, pre-Suvorov era Sentinel tank which was basically meant to be a Russian Overlord in the setting.

Thanks, SorataZ.

Not a bad predecessor. Didn't know the ancient Russians used an almost-similar Overlord tank on steroids before going to El Presidenté's rendition of one 200-something mm tank cannon on a 4x4 tread tank.

And the ancient Tremor AGAS also reminds me of a Twin-Fang's cannon.

I wonder: was there some ancient stuff we never knew? (I know the ancient Russian airfield was something out of Red Alert or something ).

[teslashark]

I thought one Iteration of the Ancient Tremor is made for China in Reborn Mod, something edited from the Nuke.

Thanks!
Theese look quite well...

As for lore is there anychance they still exist in a warehouse?
Maybe someone can write something about ECA commandos droping in and stealing one of theese buggers and rolling over russian supply trucks

[Admiral*Alex]

I just wanted to run this by everyone first before I edited this into the Aurora Page on the wikia:

(These lines word for word are the same as I would put in the wikia.)

• As of Version 1.802 the Aurora Bomber can be coded back into the game.
• If coded back in the Aurora Bomber requires the Aurora Bomber General's Point (Also needes to be coded in).
• In Game, as of Version 1.802 and if coded back in, the Aurora Bomber hasn't been changed from the vanilla Zero Hour version except the it requires the above General's Point.

And to the little Bird:

• The Little Bird can be coded back into the game as of 1.802.

[The_Hunter]

not entirely correct as both of those had been in the game code since the very first 1.0 (re)release.

[V.Metalic]

Probably not appropriate place, but this question is not one that anyone actually cares about so I doubt anyone will be asking it again. The Chinese generals, their names as they are displayed (Chen, Mau and Jin), are these surnames or first names? As it seems that in Generals 2 the order is same as in Japan, surname first, first name second. The names in Generals (1) are different case because they were made to translate some phrase, like Tao's is bad spelling of "green stones" (uranium), and Kwai's is "he very fast", or so. So I just wonder if Red Army General's surname is Chen or rather Xing, as both can be surnames.

[MARS]

Chen, Jin and Mau would be their surnames - even though someone recently informed me that Mau isn't even a real name to begin with. I chose to arrange them in that order because the original game also had this weird habit of putting them in an unusual given name + surname order (Tsing Shi TAO, Ta Hun KWAI, Shin FAI). Suppose it's one of those early period things that we didn't really invest any proper thought on which everyone still grew accustomed to anyway, much like the ECA Generals who, despite HAVING full names, are still referred to as Generals Wolfgang, Willem and Charles in the game itself.

[Shiro]

Ta Hun Kwai insn't exactly good mandarin either, but apart from being broken, it's supposed to mean "He (is) very fast". Blame EA.

[V.Metalic]

Exactly. The ZH Chinese general has their names as a jokes or references, not an actual names. That Mau is not a name, its true, but maybe his family adopted this name recently, maybe as to connect with the glorious leader, Mao Zedong, being very similar in pronunciation. So in practice the names of them should be more as

Jin Bao
Mau Hu Tan
Chen Xing

But I suppose this is not a big deal at all. Just a cosmetic change, nothing that differ from what is now.

Could someone add a Gallery and this image (below) to the Jagdmammut Tank Destroyer, please?
I would do this ,but I don't know how to make/insert a Gallery in the wiki.
