[need my speed]

What, you want a quickie? *Runs away.*

Seriously, what the heck has this to do with anything:

"And this thread is about 3.0 anyway, so what's the problem? Let's do it quick!

Yeah."

[Speeder]

Google Rammstein's Pussy.

[Laro24]

Sry but when the new update is coming out?

And the video from Pussy is.. weird...

[Darkstorm]

Now we can finally say 10 seconds ago, at least for people on beta board. If you don't have access believe me, it really isn't THAT amazing.

[ElementerZen]

I'm not sure whether this is an old suggestion but, how about letting dogs swim?

Of course, they shouldn't be able to attack in water cause they can't pounce on enemy infantry in water.

I mean, dogs are the one of the best land dwelling swimmers! For mammals of course.

[feillyne]

Letting all dogs swim? RA3 infestation or what? :-D

But yeah. Yet making all infantry swim would be crazy. :-D

[ElementerZen]

I'm not saying all infantry should swim, humans take some time to learn and have their preferences over water.

but dogs on the other hand, they're kind of like natural swimmers.

On a side note, I totally forgot RA3 had swimming bears(and dogs?) xD

[Darkstorm]

they'll have to attack in water, it is just RA2 logic, maybe ask Dcoder to fix this (Ares) since it doesn't seem like it would hold up his progress, just a small side thing.

[some_weirdGuy]

Maybe just make one factions dogs swim, for example only allied dogs can swim. Then have soviet dog have some other benefit, or something, to make it even. Or not, whatever.

Actually that's definatly not true. I'm not sure if it's to do with naval targeting, but if you just make a dog able to swim it'll only attack on land.

[Darkstorm]

well I just made an assumtion, since there is not "attackonlyonland" type tag, and isn't naval targeting only for buildings, if not I guess it's weapons or WHs.

[OmegaBolt]

Modenc to the rescue!

[feillyne]

So... Land 0, naval 6... AFAIK. So some units can go swimming... w/ or w/o a weapon. x-D

[Crimson Dynamo]

what brought up swimming dogs?

[Speeder]

Meh, I thought of making more units amphibious/hover but in the end I couldn't decide which units could be changed into all-terrain ones.

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

Yeah but dogs, they don't have any armour or heavy equipement to wiegh them down.

Alliance Countries :

* India / British India (The Raj) (Might make a bit of a twist, since WWII never happened ...)
-) MLRInfantry (deploys and can fire decent range unguided rocket salvos)
-) +10% income, +10% range?, veteran guardian GI

* United Japan (should include Manchuria as well, as the Soviets didn't include themselves in the Pacific War as far as we know, though then again, North Korea exists)
-) standard Amphibious Transport -> Amphibious IFV, a faster transport, with a rapidfire gun, and small AA missiles
-) +25-30% Naval speed?, +6% most stats, -10% Ground Attack and -10% ROF, veteran battleships(?)

* Republic Of China (Maybe modern day PRC should be divided, with the ROC controlling most coasts and bit inland)
-) ROC Marine, can swim, heavy rifles and light AT weapon, no c4
-) +20% Infantry Speed?, veteran...I dunno (maybe range should be the top stat for them), veteran

* Germany -> Imperial Germany?

* Greek/Byzantine Empire (won the Greco-Turkish, owns parts of Anatolia)

* Iberia (our Spain and Portugal)
-)
-)

* Vietnam (or United Indochina)
-)
-)

* Zimbabwe-Rhodesia (encompassing all of South Africa and Rhodesia and Mozambique, southern Africa etc etc)
-) Nighthawk Transport -> Firefly Transport (6 trooper capacity, and dual side guns (i.e. work independently of targeting), non-radar stealth, faster
-) Infantry speed +20%, Armor +10%

* Iraq (includes our Iraq, Kuwait, UAE)
-)
-) -10% expense to structures and units, +5-10% build speed




Soviet Bloc countries :
* China -> People's Republic Of China (owns most of the inland, Mongolia)

* United Arab Republic (would be our world's Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen)
-) Flak Trak -> Flak Tank, double barreled, less effective flak guns, faster fire, more spread. More armor, slower, no carrying capacity.
-) ?, veteran Sentry Guns

* Gran Columbia
-)
-)




*Notes
- Cuba should probably be part of the USA, since the USA had more resources and will to combat communist revolutionaries in this time. I know RA2 had Cuba on the Soviet side, but they never adjusted the borders to account for event changes like the Soviet moving of the border 200 miles into Poland/Poland 100 mi into Germany, or the Danzig Free State/Kaliningrad Oblast. Also, time changed yet again here )



Im tired so Ill flesh them out/add more if interest

Greek Empire, no. It should be just Greece, I personally dont like the Empire idea in modern times (not Imperial Germany either). Of coarse that is excluding the Epsilon Empire.

Iberia could be the Iberian Alliance or something.

India is kind of wierd IMO, has no strategic importance since it isn't close to any Soviet force besides maybe China but then again it is quite isolated by Himalayas.

I'd prefer Vietnam be an Allied power, look near front, I suggested it in a odd storyline.

Africa and Middle East are left out since the main focus is at Russia, if there are any countries from here they should be alliances of a group of countries to keep them down, not have all Soviet countries be Arab/African. This is mainly since they are developing countries and aren't communist or democratic (if they are, they are very unstable).

Cuba needs to stay Soviet due to it being a major part of RA2 campaign.

A rule of thumb about countries: Allied=Europe, Soviet=Asia, Yuri=isolated parts of the world, some Africa and South America. While a few oddies are ok, dont switch there locations

On a side note, Germany should have most of Prussia since WWII never happened for them to loose it.

An empire doesn't imply necessarily undemocratic. After all, the British Empire was mostly internally democratic. And I don't get why you're upset about having empires in Europe - Europe was filled with them till the 2nd World War, and even beyond (French, British). Some of the 'good guys' had empires too.

And yeah, thats what I was getting at with Germany - they hadn't lost East Prussia. Maybe here they the rest back or something in return for their effort in GWWI. Also maybe Austria should be in Germany since Austria WAS looking to unite with Germany after Versailles but was forbidden by it.

Spain and Portugal had been united once in a personal union of the Spanish and Portuguese crowns, but it fell apart due to Spain trying to virtually annex Portugal. If you want to consider all the countries of the Iberian Peninsula, there was Galacia, Basque, Castille, Aragon, and Andalusia. So having one federation would be much more apt, since Spain is in the original RA anyways.

The UAR was a real country, as was Gran Columbia (they were both collections of countries we know today).

India has no strategic importance? Well as for China, they DID fight a war with the PRC.

Wut Speeder opinion?

Edited by IconOfEvi, 17 October 2009 - 11:51 PM.

[Darkstorm]

I'm not "upset" I just dont see it very modern, and an Empire is a form of government with a Emperor or equivilent.

The Treaty of Versailles did happen as did WWI, WWII didn't. However the Treaty of Versailles was probably taken back by the outbreak of the Red Alert WWII equivelent.

Spain wasn't really in the Red Alert story as wasn't Turkey, just names for countries they never named.

India just seemed to me as too isolated to have any importance to the Korea stalemate and China thing, they might of supported it but had no serious conflict.

However we still need Speeder's opinion.
