I.A. Previously...:

With the defeat of the USSR, efforts amongst the Allied nations to prevent another war which would take the toll of millions of lives became paramount above all else. Under these efforts, the European Coalition was formed as a safeguard to freedom and democracy everywhere.
Allied nations from across the globe quickly ratified the formation of the European Coalition, and most democratic nations joined in without delay. While the Allies' individual nations contributed to the redevelopment and repair of broken nations involved in the Second Great War, eventually the use of the European Coalition as both a banker to fund repairs and a military to act as a peacekeeping force to keep reparations moving forward.
Installed in the wake of the Second Great War were communist-in-nature leaders, under the promise of power in exchange for obedience. As the years passed and the European Coalition's powers and funds grew, the end of communism was viewed as the only possible prevention of such another catastrophe.
Slowly, through political sabotage and Coalition-led rebellions, each communist nation's former leaders were ousted in exchange for puppet democracies. These puppet democracies allowed for the Coalition to influence more and more power over these defeated nations.
While political corruption and rampant poverty spread within the puppet nations, the life and luxury of those who supported the Coalition increased dramatically and exponentially. Eventually these puppet nations would rise against their masters, which sets the place for CnC: Final War.

Final War TC features three full factions with completely reworked tech trees and units, sporting a strong advanced tech timeline and a grim and dark visual style. The mod includes new units, maps, game modes, theaters, sound effects, and a new soundtrack to commence the last great battle for dominance over the planet!

I.B. Installation Guide:

- Final War TC is not a stand-alone game, but does not require a disk to run. In order to play the mod, you will need files from the original game, as listed below:
- blowfish.dll
- binkw32.dll
- ra2.mix
- language.mix
- ra2md.mix
- langmd.mix

- To create your Final War TC directory, copy the previously mentioned seven files into a new directory and extract the contents of the mod archive into the same directory. Then, set compatibility on "Syringe.exe" and "gamemd.exe" to Windows XP 3 and allow the executables to run as an administrator. After the files have extracted, run fwlauncher.exe to begin your first time setup of the mod client.

- If you wish to use the original Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge soundtracks, place theme.mix for RA2's soundtrack and/or thememd.mix for YR's soundtrack in the directory you installed the mod and original game files.
