Unfortunately, in my experience, multiplayer does not often get much more sophisticated than this. More experienced players will however immediately launch a counter attack at the rushing opponent knowing that they may have gambled everything on the success of the rush and did not sufficiently prepare for (or even expect) any form of retaliation. When a tank rush is successful -and especially so against inexperienced players- it will more often than not result in a 'psychological victory' where the opponent is, for all intents and purposes, not actually defeated but his morale is so crushed from losing his construction yard that he concedes without a battle. And of course the most popular structure to target using a tank rush is the opponent's construction yard. Typically this is known as 'rushing' and the most popular units to use in a rush are tanks, hence 'tank rush'. In Red Alert 1, multiplayer strategy mostly -and unfortunately- consists of building a small powerful attack force as quickly as you can and then immediately launching an offensive at the enemy in an attempt to destroy key structures in his base before he is sufficiently prepared to defend them.

There were major updates to our documentation, and our tooling was joined by the OpenRA (Mini)YAML Language Extension and the OpenRA Lua API extension. In case you were wondering whether we ran out of treats, worry not! Modders will also be feasting sweet this time. The C&C Remastered Collection must be installed through Steam or Origin, and the project README provides installation instructions for macOS and Linux.

This preview is multiplayer-compatible with the main 20230225 release, but performance, memory usage, and loading times have not been optimized, and do not reflect the expected final requirements. It is a separate release and can be downloaded here. This support is still incomplete, but works well enough that we are today also releasing a development preview of “Tiberian Dawn HD”. For details see the previous playtest news posts and, as always, for a full overview - the full changelog.īut wait, there’s more! This release brings major behind-the-scenes changes towards supporting the C&C Remastered Collection assets. Several major systems have been added and overhauled, a great deal of rougher edges smoothed out. This release is packed to the brim with goodies small and large. We have been waiting for this moment for almost two years: A new stable OpenRA Release 20230225 is out now!Ī lot of features have built up over the two years.

Today we have a special occasion on our hands.
