With nothing much to do until RP 1.08b comes out, I've been going through the rules file and adding things here and there to add to the gameplay of the game. I'll tell you one of those things now, two new Yuri Legions (not including Antarctic and Pacific), whose details I shall not disclose. Since every country has some sort of country special (in most cases two), I've been thinking of adding vanilla Allies, Soviets and Yuri countries to the game, these have no country specials and play like the game in the campaign. I've been unsure whether to add them or not, so I ask you:
Should I add them or not?

EDIT: Also, if you vote, please give reasons as to why you chose that option. I would sort of like to know why you do or do not want vanilla countries.

I'd like to see something like that. But those vanilla countries will be too weak. I don't knwo if you gave any bonuses and weaknesses to the countries, but the Vanilla countries should get none and should also have chaper, simpler units thatn the other countries

I haven't modified build speed or cost or anything like that for the countries, yet - I'm considering it for the Yuri Legions, but the whole point of vanilla countries is that they're unchanged, with no specials or new units.

It would be like Zero hour. I don't know how vanilla stands up to specialized generals, but if they couldn't, this could be a problem here. So, watch out for that.

Not sure I quite get it, so instead of having some interesting thing to add flavor and altered tactics to the side you'll have... Nothing?
Not something I'd bother with, but since they'd be nothing to code up it would be easy as anything to do, so if you think anyone would actually play it, go for it.

If it were possible I would have made a multiplayer mode where you only get the vanilla countries to choose from, but for some reason country data is not read from multiplayer mode files.

[Jeeves]

I'll get back to you on that one, thought it was possible...

[OmegaBolt]

The Project made a game mode where it was like standard RA2 if i remember rightly..

[Gosho]

Yes, it's possible. Genobreaker has also done it for his mod, not really sure if it worked however, as the mod is not released yet.

[Jeeves]

And Gamemate and myself both plan on doing it...
In your case you could just techlevel=-1 the specials
