Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
The fall of Paris in mid-2047 marked the third major defeat of the ECA after the early success of the Russian invasion of Poland and the surrender of Germany following the battle of Berlin. Both prior events saw little involvement of France, whose forces were largely tied down by a resurgence of GLA offensives in north-western Africa. Thus, by the time the brunt of the French Army arrived to partake in the defence of Europe, fighting had already reached Metropolitan France itself. With the German and Benelux forces in exile forced to recuperate, the defence of Paris fell largely upon the French themselves. Fighting for the city was ferocious in a battle that was widely named the "Stalingrad of World War III." Despite fierce French resistance however, following a successful Russian encirclement, the city fell and with it much of the French Army, exposing more of the country to further Russian offensives. It was after this disaster that ECA high command considered the most desperate and distasteful options, such as the deployment of weapons of mass destruction. Under the direction of the Pandora protocol, strategists drew up competing plans for the use of chemical nerve agents or tactical nuclear weapons. The former was ultimately discarded, due to prohibitive mass production and safety concerns, in favour of the nuclear option. In addition to the experimental Pandora railgun artillery, ECA forces now fitted nuclear warheads on their existing stocks of the Prometheus, a road-mobile, short-range ballistic missile developed in the 2030s as a counter to Russia's tactical missiles. Most commonly used were low-yield warheads distributed to allied forces by France and Britain, though some would also use special neutron warheads, which not only destroy targets through heat and blast, but also produce a surge of intense radiation that penetrates even the heaviest of tanks, killing their crews in a matter of moments. In May 2048, the box of Pandora was opened...
