This RA2 screenshot is from a mod that makes Generals in RA2 engine.

For those who are not aware, Generals is a good game despite its terrible graphics and camera.

RA2 aged like wine, Generals aged like milk.

This happened in a lot of other RTS games. When they tried to go 3D they mostly failed. Examples: Stronghold series, Caesar series, AoE series, Lords 2 -> Lords 3, Red Alert, and many other series.

You can see that in the screenshot of RA2 the graphics are clear, sharp, and everything is easy to read, the buildings the units.

The screenshot of Generals has the typical fish eye camera, everything looks weird and harder to read, buildings barely fit in the screen.

Im not saying Generals is a bad game, Im saying it is a good game, despite its graphics.

Does anyone else care that all the parts work the way they’re supposed to? I think it’s awesome.

For the record, the Hawkeye propellers don’t normally stop in flight, that’s just to be in line with the music.

We're very close to calling this done... Couple final touches left to address~

Will be either the Lioness with weapons of mass destruction with deadly aurora alpha and humvee army or be the Tigress with the big overlords, hot migs and nuclear missile.

After successfully working Red Alert 1 + Counterstrike + Aftermath, now is the turn for Red Alert 2. I will upload the necessary files to Github (of course you will need your original copy of RA2).

Looks freaking awesome!

Installed Droid Deck on my phone and the first thing was I installed was some C&C. Playing RA2 and Generals on a phone is surreal. More than 20 years overdue.

So I just played Act of War, that is said to be as good if not better than Generals.

And I can tell its a good game. But as expected I cant stand its camera and cant stand its graphics.

Horrible graphics. Generals graphics are not that much better, so yeah.

Games like Red Alert 1 and Red Alert 2 have clear graphics, orthographic and camera and with a good color palette that makes it easier on the eyes.

So I was thinking maybe 9 bit armies could be a good gaming experience for me.

How is it in terms of mechanics? Since it came out after Generals, is it better than Generals in any way in terms of mechanics?

I prefer its graphics much more than Generals.

The much anticipated skirmish AI launch is here! Also 1.02+ and the 4K mod are finally one download.

This is a huge deal for all the PvE players out there!

It's still in pretty good shape.

As part of an effort to make infantry in RA3 viable again I'm experimenting with idea of squads like in Tiberium Wars - first results are promising. Depleted squad is automatically healed and reinforced in close vicinity of barracks. I also added 2 stage reload system that allows firing true bursts with reloads after ammo runs out. Another feature seen is dynamically changing formation. After solving the problem of garrisoning (not trivial) next on the list is squad members having different weapons.
