Rifle grenade made the red guards too powerful, it good that it was removed.

There were situation where 8 red guards with grenade blasted a damn sentinel with no Warden to hell.

OK I Am Not Going To Talk About The Story and Lore Since I've Already Read All Of It. Now Lets Get Back On Topic. I Am Going Ask Less Questions Now. So Lets See.

1 - About Colonel Burton On a Bike. It Was Only a Joke Because I Was Watching The Delta Force Movie. I was Only Suggesting it Should be Used For The Campaign Like Against a GLA Convoy. or For April Fools?.

2 - Is Their Gonna Be a Unique Terrorist Unit For 1 of the Generals?.

3 - How Come The Bomb Truck Can't Combine The Bio Bomb and The High Explosive Bomb?. Was it Because of Balanced?.

4 - You Said The Scud Launcher For The Bio Command General. and The BM-21 Grad For The Warlord General. What Long Range Unit is The Terror Cell General Getting?.

5 - So The Blackshark Helicopter and The Railgun Kodiak are Scrapped. So What Do Think The New Russian Mystery Tank and The New Russian Mystery Helicopter Is?.

6 - Is Their Going To Be a Unique Dragon Tank For Special Weapons General?.

7 - Their Is Only One ECM Tank for One General Right?.

That's All For Now.

2. Probably no
3. Because the Bio bomb is not the original ZH one (it's something new) and combined them together would be OP
4. I think one of them would be standard GLA tool of war but I can't remember which one
5. I don't know
6. Probably no as well
7. If my memory is correct, the banshee will be long to 1 Gen while other two get normal ZH ECM

[X1Destroy]

Maybe this? It would be great if this thing become the new dragon tank.

[MARS]

1 Why Does Every Chinese Vehicle Have a Red Star With a Gold Ring Around it?. Because it Looks Poorly Detailed?.
2 You Said 1 ECA General. 1 Russian General 1 GLA General. is Getting a Unique MBT. What About The Chinese Generals and The USA Generals MBT?.
3 Are You Gonna Add The Red Army Logo on The Overlord?. What About The Airship You Gonna Add the Secret Police Logo On It?. Add The Air Force Logo on the Wasp Hive or Not?.
4 Same as Question 3. Add The Warlord Logo on The BM-21 Grad?. Add The Terror Cell Logo on The Demo Track?.
5 OK this Question is About Shockwave. After ROTR 1.82 Is Their Gonna Be a Shockwave 1.11 Minor Bug Fix Patch?. Because All 3 Overlords are Bugged!. They Can't Even Shoot at Infantry With Their Main Guns
6 The Secret Police General. What Kind of Units Will He Have Like Some MG Infantry or a Police Like Infantry like The Peacekeeper From Red Alert 3?.
7 Is The Special Weapons General and The Secret Police Getting Some Sort of Counterpart of The Red Army Overlord Tank?. Like a Tank Between The Battlemaster and The Overlord
8 Is The Battlemaster Tank For All 3 Chinese Generals?
9 How Come Aleksandr Doesn't Get The Sentinel Tank. Didn't His Faction Built It?
10 So No Zero Hour Stuff is Returning?. Who's Getting The Avenger and The Microwave Tank?. What About The Demo Traps?. Is the Advanced One Coming Back?.
11 What Kind of Other Units is Orlov Getting?.. Like Some Spetsnaz Unit?. What About Zhukov What is He Getting?. What Other Stuff is Aleksandr Getting?.
12 How Many Planes Does Air Force Generals Have? What Kind of Infantry is He Getting?.
13 Is the Special Forces General Getting Some Sort of Delta Force Unit Like an Attack Bike. Attack Buggy From a Chuck Norris Movie?. Because it Would be Funny to See Colonel Burton on a Bike
14 Are There Gonna Be Marines For Tank Command General
15 The New GLA Rebel Unit Shoots like the Old Rebel and The Stealth Rebel From Shockwave. Did you Mix Them?.
16 You Said The Second Korean War Happened in ROTR Universe. What About The Second Vietnam War Did It Happened in That Universe?.
17 Is The Pyro Technician and The Nukaneer Exclusive To Special Weapons Generals?.
18 Is The Autoloaders Upgrade Coming Back?
19 What About The Rifle Grenades Upgrade For the Red Guards?.
20 What About The MOAB Support Power?.
21 For 1.82 is Their Gonna be New General Promotions For New Units?. Because Each Faction Has Two Unlock Tech. Except The ECA. Are you Gonna Add a Third Unlock Tech For Each Faction
Like Name All Unlock Techs After All The Generals Tactics?. Like Area Bombardment. Experimental Technologies. Air Dominance. Bio-Chemical Warfare. Airborne Mobility. Electronic Warfare & Propaganda. etc.
Since All Three Unlock Tech Could Be Like a Preview To The Generals Selection For 2.0.
22 Are You Gonna Change The General Points System?. Like Give More Points To Each Rank?.

1 The red star with the gold ring appears when your units have active horde bonus.
2 There are only so many unique ways to implement an MBT and we're only doing it as long as it fits and as long as we have decent ideas, not because we absolutely have to.
3 We might do that at a later point.
4 See 3.
5 Right now, there aren't any future plans for Shockwave.
6 Currently classified.
7 Special Weapons gets a heavier vehicle that'll be -vaguely- comparable to an Overlord.
8 Yes.
7 The Special Weapons General will have a vehicle that'll likely be heavier and tougher than the Battlemaster and vaguely comparable to the Overlord.
8. According to current plans, yes.
9 It's never been stated that he developed it. Story-wise, Aleksandr's unit is a self-contained entity outside the regular Russian Army. As such, they use non-standard equipment.
10 Of course there's gonna be plenty of Zero Hour stuff. USA Special Forces gets the Avenger, USA Tank Command gets the Microwave Tank and all GLA Generals have regular Demo Traps.
11 Orlov will have unique Spetsnaz units to replace most of his standard infantry as well as a number of dedicated specialists. Can't reveal anything on Zhukov and Aleksandr as this one's kinda bordering on info-fishing.
12 According to current plans, he has seven aircraft, including planes and helicopters. Infantry isn't his thing.
13 There are no such plans at this time.
14 He may be a Marine in the story, but since his focus is on tank warfare, unique infantry units don't seem appropriate for him.
15 Not consciously at least.
16 The Korean situation will receive some exposition very soon. As for Vietnam, the country was actually strong-armed into China's hegemony, the Greater Asian Peoples Alliance, after Zero Hour. Doesn't mean they like it though and we're gonna explore that part later.
17 Nukeneers will be exclusive to China Special Weapons. The Pyros will actually be made available to all Chinese Generals.
18 Yes, for Special Weapons.
19 That has been removed because it really wasn't all that practical aside from garrison clearing and you basically have Pyros for that.
20 The MOAB will not make a return as it is now considered unfitting for the US faction which is designed for precision, not indiscriminate AoE destruction.
21 Wait and see. The layout of the General Powers will be radically different as of 2.0.
22 The implementation of the Generals -might- result in a change to the point system but that's something we'll work out once we get to it.

[X1Destroy]

18 Is The Autoloaders Upgrade Coming Back?

18 Yes, for Special Weapons.

Weren't it supposed to be Red Army's? Special Weapon seem to be very overpowered now.

[MARS]

Pretty much all the things that make China-SW powerful (i.e. its unique combat units and upgrades such as the Autoloaders) are Tier-2, meaning you will have to rely on standard Chinese units and a number of indirect support units until you actually get there. I can also imagine that most of his exclusive stuff will be uncharacteristically expensive for Chinese tech.

[Serialkillerwhal...]

1: Are you tired of these questions.

[foxhoundx7]

I Going Stop The Questions For Now Until The Next Mod Update OK.

[foxhoundx7]

Sorry About The Bad Grammar. I Mean I'm Going To Stop Questioning Until The Next Mod Updates OK.

1 I Didn't Mean The Horde Bonus Star. i was Talking about The Red Star on The Dozer. The Overlord. The Battlemaster. The Hopper Tank. etc.

2 I Wont Talk about That Anymore.

5 Too Bad. I Guess I'll Enjoy The Current Version of Shockwave.

7 Great.

8 Yes.

10 Alright.

11 What About The VDV Units. Are They For Orlov Only?.

12 OK Seven Aircraft Good.

13 I Kind of Wanted To See Colonel Burton VS Jarmen Kell In a Bike Fight Because it Would Be Awesome.

14 OK.

15 I've Kind of Meant The Way They Hold their Rifles?.

16 Hmm Who Won Korean War 2. North or South?. Is The Condition in Vietnam Better?.

17 Glad That's Cleared Up.

18 Why Special Weapons. and Not Red Army Isn't He Suppose To Be a Mix of Tank General and Infantry General From Zero Hour

19 Oh Well.

20 I Guess We'll Settle For The FOAB Now.

21 I mean for 1.82. Is It Gonna be Different?.

22 Good.

[Casojin]

You seem to inquire a lot about Vietnam. Are you a Vietnamese?

[Guest_Vintorez_*]

14#Q: Zhukovs Getting The Regular Hokum and Orlovs Getting The BlackShark. The Hind and the Hunchback. While Aleksandrs Getting The Havoc and The PAK FA Right?.

Zukov won't be getting the Hokum

On the Moddb profile there was a Black Shark (basically a black Hokum) the description of which said it was basically "flown by an elite pilot" but I'm pretty sure it's been scrapped.

[X1Destroy]

Zhukov will get the Havoc, just like Aleksander.

All of current vanilla russia helicopters will be exclusive to Orlov.

[melaw]

Maybe this? It would be great if this thing become the new dragon tank.

Uuh I know this picture from waaaay back when I could not wait for my pre-ordered Generals!!
Would be a nice reference to the roots^^

[Сергеј Иванович]

How are General's Points be implemented? Are they gonna be similar in mechanics like Company of Heroes?
For example, when we choose General from our HQ, do we unlock point tree that will emphasise the power of that General or is it going to be something else?

[Genmotty]

7 The Special Weapons General will have a vehicle that'll likely be heavier and tougher than the Battlemaster and vaguely comparable to the Overlord.

Hmm... Not sure I like the sound of that, what with Nuclear Han's, general nuclear weapons inferno artillery etc. it doesn't sound like quite the right direction. I would have prefered the Special Weapons general to be more about using airpower and tactical artillery...less so the tanks armour and infantry.

[ubermensche]

I'm ready to bet that Shock Troops will only be available to Alexander and VDV will only be available for Orlov. But will they have conscripts as well?

[Darkfire Angel]

I'm ready to bet that Shock Troops will only be available to Alexander and VDV will only be available for Orlov. But will they have conscripts as well?

This has been well known for awhile. Aleksander will have exclusive access to Tesla tech. Orlov will have Spetsnaz as replacements for his basic infantry.

I do have a few questions

1) Will any of ECA generals get unique air drop units from the Deployment Zone?
2) Will we be seeing any of the Upgraded Upgrades (Nationalism, Anthrax Gamma and the like) from Zero Hour return?
3) I assume that the Pyro will be replacing the Red Guards ability to clear garrisons, thus ensuring that they are unique when compared to other basic infantry that all can clear garrisons?

[Panzer4life]

I love asking questions, but since I don't want to info-fish, I just want a clarification on Alexsander.
1: Is his unit like the NKVD divisions, loyal to its commander and obey orders from no one?
2: What is stopping the GLA from trying to kill Alexsander, I don't think GLA rebels would like being used for test subjects for tesla-weapons.

Also about Zhukov, will the Topol-M require a general point to unlock, like the nuke cannon?

1. Technically yes, but by this point, the Shock Divisions are actually more comparable to the SS in that they have this insane, self-glorifying warrior mythos and their undying, unquestioning loyalty to Aleksandr is connected to him as a person, not his function.
2. But how would the GLA accomplish such a feat? Sneaking into Europe in the middle of WW3 to attack an enemy that is essentially -more- frightening and dangerous than the GLA itself doesn't seem like a thing they would/could do at this time.

And yes, Zhukov's nukes will require a Rank 1 unlock in the same way as Mau's.

[X1Destroy]

So basically, Aleksander is crazy nazi leader himself?

[Mr.Kim]

He likes more mad genius than crazy leadership.

[MARS]

So basically, Aleksander is crazy nazi leader himself?

He's not consciously acting like a nazi because he wants to invoke the ideology; he's just a rotten, egomaniac sociopath and a manipulative bastard who was given unrestrained power to create his own twisted fantasy world.

[X1Destroy]

So much for the GLA.......Now they will know 10 times the fear they have infilicted on others....

[Serialkillerwhal...]

1: Will there be a twin barreled tank in ROTR
2: is 2.0 going to have generals
3: Is this a game mod for ZH.
4: Are these questions pointless.



More seriously: Does the carrier we've been seeing since the US got involved have a sister ship the pacific?
