I love all of it. My only problem right now is that supply vehicle AI is fucked and basically doesn't know how to automatically turn around. They seek out the tightest corner in the lowest left area of the map, wedge themselves there, and spend a few seconds moving in place before heading back. This happens even when the supply building is RIGHT THERE. The only time one of them averts this, it is temporary, only happens with the first non-automatically built supply vehicle, and stops working one you introduce a third. This doesn't happen with USA and GLA, due to their non-standard supply vehicles, but that means I either must A. only play in the bottom left corner of the map, B. sulk in in-game poverty while the AI's supply is PERFECTLY FINE, or C. play only as either the most boring team ever, or terrorists. But hey, Russia team's worth it. "This tank runs on nothing but vodka and loli." -Grizzly tank. "They cannot bear our assault." -Grizzly tank.

"I don't need blueprint!" -Russian construction vehicle. "All done, my friend! But I hope these spare bits weren't important." -Russian construction vehicle. "I shall hit it repeatedly, with hammer." -Russian construction vehicle. "From the motherland, with love." -Thermobaric Bomb power. "This is a no-fly zone!" -Heavy Anti-Air, deployed.

My brother had extreme trouble getting use to it from the base game. Basically had to backseat drive him through it, which is awkward considering I'm awful at controlling RTSes. Apparently I'm a wonderful advisor. Iunno.I think the point is that the Russian team is the "genre savvy" team, especially due to their lines, which range from "someone's not taking this war seriously" to "I shall hit (the fourth wall) repeatedly, with hammer".

It's kinda funny how the russian construction crane mostly quote the russian engineer song, also the hopper tank driver was a overlord driver but then took a shell on the threads(arrow on knee) best part is the overlord in RoTR receives horde bonus, perfect for a overlord rush once you got enough resources.

Plus they almost completely reference Red Alert, what with the tesla cannons and all (although dogs ended up going to the EUA). Probably an issue with the supply vehicles being larger than the chinese trucks with the same AI and behavior. As I said, they use combined arms tactics. Their units when just going spammy can't really faceroll anyone. But you play to the weaknesses of the other teams instead and use your well developed methodology of rock paper scissors superweapon. Whereas America just spams "combined arms" at your face, none of it really actually works together very well at all. So it's just a bunch of different one trick ponies thrown at you at the same time that can be picked off easily, none of it's valuable to the team. (except their artillery) Chinese were always about efficient use of spam and careful use of special units and abilities. All your base are belong to us? No? Then BURN. Or get crushed, son, under the might of a thousand boots (and bolt action rifles woop woop) Terrorists(GLA) have numerous strategies. But it's impossible to mix them together very well without having your explosives getting mixed with your toxins then all your infantry die and the enemy just murders whatever is left. So it's all about careful use of specialist units and hit and run tactics. Get in, get out. Or, get in and blow shit the fuck up, yeah! Last I saw the mod EUA were mostly unfinished so they weren't in, how've they developed? (I remember something about them using the Eurasian Dynasty soundtrack from earth 2150 and moon project but that's about it) RE: Avali Nexus Forum Thread 3: A crowd. - SilverOtter - 03-27-2016 And then I solved RoTR's derpy supply vehicle problem. Apparently it only happens in skirmish. Solution? One person LAN party!

They're bad at everything else, including attacking another team that is ALSO ECA.

Hope they take it the route of highly specialized and effective infantry. Would fit the countries included in the team well. In any case. I remember them more now. By a bit. Isn't their offensive strategy getting their turrets in your face and border expansion/annexation?
