Sooooo... its been a while.

First of i'd like to explain whats been happening for the past few years.Back in 2016 when I last posted an update online things were about to change in my life and in addition to all that I was a bit burned out on the whole mod development.
Most of us were still in college when we were actively working on this mod or just starting our first job and because of that we had quite a bit of time to burn on things such as this project.
But as time passed on more real-life responsibilities came, I started playing a MMO for the first time and on top of all that also switched jobs.
It took a while but things have settled down for me now but i still didn't really have any inspiration or motivation to continue with this project until a few weeks ago something changed.

I had a sudden itch to just make a 3D model and texture something so i figured it might as well be something for good old Rise of the Reds in case i'd ever get the spark again to work on it.

What i did not expect after i showed it in our private developer discord that something happened that can only really be described as the band getting back together basically.

Me and Co-Lead Comr4de of the project talked for a long time and we both decided that this project being part of our lives for more than 10 years at this point really want to see it through to what we had original envisioned.In the coming months we will be focusing on wrapping up our current in development version which does include a few new units and fun tweaks for everyone to enjoy.

With all that said i can say in earnest that we are back in gear, updates might not drop as regularly as they did back in the day but we will try our best to deliver.


This is The Hunter signing off and hope to see you all in future updates!

Hopefully things kick into gear! Will there be a possibility that Hanpatch assets be used like the Golem tank?

Wow this is absolutely great news! I'm very pleased!

It's nice to have the band back together. Reminds me of my teenage years checking daily for updates I have missed this mod dearly.

This is the best news I've heard in a while. I've never forgot about the ROTR.

Is the 1.9 build available for download anywhere? I cant find it either here in the forums or on moddb.

I was convinced this project was silently declared dead so I am overjoyed that it continues!

My favorite game by far. Had no reason to play Zero Hour after initial run through. Balance and unit lay out was crap. EA should thank you for giving people a reason to buy the game. Lot of hard work in quality of unit look/theory and balance/game play. Even if things don't work out I'd like to thank you for the hard work. Best of luck.
