Thanks! I will implement them in update 3.3.5.

We won't be making any wiki in the end, you can remove the information on yours about 'official one coming in the future'.

Now you can make your own, assuming you know how to use the tools.

That whole Clairvoyant & bridges thing will probably be revised at some point anyway.

The solution of having 2 Warpshops to allow the players to do a base-to-base Chronolift was not very neat, we'll do something else in the future.

Absolutely no auras.

 
As you might have heard or read, the original plan of mine for patch 3.3.4 for Mental Omega was to have it contain the conclusion of the Act Two storyline - the remaining 7 missions, the names of which you already know. After some thought and some recent developments, I've decided to switch the plans a bit and release new content to the players sooner, since I've known for a while that these final missions of Act Two would take more time and effort than usual to be completed, and a release earlier than in December would not be possible (and this date is not final either). As such, there's going to be an additional patch in Summer - the 3.3.4 update will become something different than I initially intended.
 

 
Thanks to the efforts of our mission designers, both veterans and newcomers, we've prepared 9 completely new singleplayer missions for this surprise update! They are as follows:

• Allied Covert Op Mission Fullmetal
• Allied Covert Op Mission Gridlock
• Soviet Covert Op Mission Eclipse
• Soviet Covert Op Mission Dawnbreaker
• Soviet Covert Op Mission Brothers in Arms
• Epsilon Covert Op Mission Taciturn
• Epsilon Covert Op Mission Nightcrawler
• Epsilon Covert Op Mission Survivors
• Foehn Origins Mission The Great Beyond

The Great Beyond is the 2nd out of three additional missions for the Foehn Origins. Back when I first announced Nobody Home for Foehn, I intended for the Origins campaign to have 3 missions total, however, thanks to Esther and Ollerus, the final number of missions in it will be 6, with the last 2 missions to be released alongside the finales of Allied, Soviet and Epsilon campaigns.
 
While Covert Ops are mostly side stories, Dawnbreaker and Brothers in Arms are both part of the final Soviet story arc: the liberation of Russia from Yuri's hands. As the Soviet task force on the Moon is preparing for their counter attack, the forces that remained on Earth after Meltdown begin the grand operation ahead of them, preparing the grounds for the major siege of Moscow.
 
Eclipse is a Chinese mission which takes place during their invasion of Japan in Act One. Survivors shows what Malver has done after Obsidian Sands, while Nightcrawler does the same for Rahn. Taciturn takes place between Act One and Act Two and is about Yuri's forces chasing down a Chinese agent who has found out the big Russian secret. The Allied Covert Ops, Fullmetal and Gridlock show what challenges the other task forces from the Paradox Expedition had to face, while the Paradox Engine itself was moving towards Cape Town.
 

 
In addition to the new Foehn Origins mission and Covert Ops, another Challenge map will be added:

• Firestorm Challenge against the Wings of Coronia armies with a Blasticade stronghold

As usual, new skirmish/multiplayer maps will also be available. They are as follows:

• '(2) Closed Wide Open', '(2) Golden Spiral', '(2) Inferno Galore', '(3) Easter Island', '(4) Blood Feud Redux', '(4) Blue Hawaii', '(4) Dune Petrol',  '(4) Double Shredder', '(4) Goldshire', '(4) Tetris', '(4) The Well', '(4) Woody Island', '(6) Avalanche', '(6) Black's Big Bluff',  '(6) Death Stranded', '(6) Metallic Madness', '(6) Rorschach', '(6) Winter Desolation'

Out of the all planned bugfixes and changes, I believe the following are the most noteworthy:

• 'Free for All' can be chosen again as a game mode, it blocks the ability to make alliances before and during battle with no exceptions
• the Built statistic has been added to the Statistics screen, which can now be completely cleared through a new button in the client
• players can now choose a 'Random subfaction from a specific side' option in skirmish/multiplayer
• Observers can now see a player's current production or money by clicking on their buildings
• all amphibious transports are now immune to EMP weapons (but not freezing weapons)
• several of Foehn infantry had their transport size reduced from 2 to 1 and can form IFV combos
• Allied Co-Op map 'Low Rider' fully works again

Website descriptions are not exactly accurate. PsiCorps Troopers are not clones of Yuri.

The ring effect is now an SHP "animation" instead of engine-generated laser effecf that would delay the laser.

SHADOWF is just for holding the Shadow's deployed voxel artwork, it isn't used technically.

That's quite normal, you should never enter civilian units like that, they're not under your control.

Act One is a tutorial.

The Paradox Engine is never in America and its trajectory is not weird. It moves south, mostly near the western coast of Africa, all the time.

 

Any mentions of the Engine in Monochrome are wrong and will be removed in the future.

No idea.

Finally, the newest patch for Mental Omega is here, and it is quite a milestone. The update 3.3.3, which includes Ares 1.0 by AlexB, marks the release, in which the save/load functions have been restored. Yes, you read that right - SAVE/LOAD FUNCTIONS ARE BACK IN MENTAL OMEGA. Additionally, since we've skipped Ares 0.E, we can mention that AlexB has also delivered another selection of improvements to Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge game engine. Like always, you can either use the Mental Omega Client to perform the update or download the files manually and extract them to your Mental Omega folder.
 
It's also worth mentioning again that our website supports two other languages, with language packs for the mod, which have been updated to work with update 3.3.3: Chinese and Russian.
 
 

So, if you didn't get it the first few times: update 3.3.3 fixes save/load, so if you've been stalling your quest through the Mental Omega campaign, waiting for this feature to come back, now is the time! In addition: a customized version of the FinalAlert2 map editor, which is compatible with Mental Omega 3.3, is included in this update and accessible through the mod's client.

If you are a Windows 10 user and you've been experiencing issues with Mental Omega multiplayer recently, this update should fix those issues for you. If that doesn't happen, let us know. Also, you might want to try the new renderer, DDrawCompat created by Narzoul - it might enhance your game performance, especially if you are using the aforementioned Windows 10.
 

The 3.3.3 update comes with 11 new singleplayer and cooperative missions, steadily approaching the conclusion to Act Two of Mental Omega. It also marks the release of first 3 missions for the 4th faction, the Foehn Revolt. In the story, they take place after Machinehead.

• Allied Act Two Mission Insomnia
• Allied Covert Op Mission Obstinate
• Soviet Act Two Mission Meltdown
• Soviet Act Two Mission Earthrise
• Epsilon Act Two Mission Machinehead
• Epsilon Act Two Mission Unthinkable
• Epsilon Covert Op Mission Blood Rage
• Foehn Origin Mission Nobody Home
• Foehn Origin Mission Kill the Messenger
• Foehn Origin Mission Tainted Empire
• Epsilon Co-Op Mission Metaphor (replaces Cornered)

The 3.3.3 update includes full mission briefings for all of the new missions, meaning that this time there are none without one.
 

 
In addition to the new story-based maps, a new Challenge map has been added, with its own unique trait, and several previously released ones have been heavily revamped.

• Heroslayer Challenge against the enemies with a powerful "army of clones"

Last, but not least, numerous new skirmish/multiplayer maps have been added. They are as follows:

• '(2) Big Little Lake', '(2) Obsidian Knoll', '(2) Poisonous Milk', '(2) Route Sixty Six', '(3) Medusa', '(3) Don't Cross the Streams', '(4) Extra Small', '(4) BizarroGrid', '(4) Ivory Wastes', '(4) Mentalopolis', '(4) Not Without A Boat', '(4) Practice Yellow', '(4) Red Sun Canyon', '(4) Scorpion Trail', '(6) All the Fury', '(6) Alert Status Red', '(6) Ant Arctic', '(6) Blizzard Peaks', '(6) Cold Hard Crash', '(6) Frostburn', '(6) Paradise Warfare', '(8) Pacific Rim Mega', '(8) Tic Tac Toe'

 
Just like the last time, let's now talk about important gameplay changes, balance tweaks and bugfixes in this patch.

• a new unit has been introduced into the Foehn navy, the Whipray: it is an anti-aircraft drone ship with a confusion rifle and a 'Golden Rocket' launcher, which requires a Cloud Piercer to be built. With its introduction, the Swordfish loses its AA capabilities, but also gets a price decrease to compensate.
