Final note from the C&C/RA design team ============================================================================ 1. Aftermath Installation Notes 1.1. Preferred order of install (Red Alert/Counterstrike/Patch/Aftermath) At the time of writing there are 4 possible versions of Red Alert available: 1. The original version of Red Alert (v.1.04) 2. The updated version included in Counterstrike (v.1.07) 3. The Red Alert patch (v.1.08) 4. The updated version included in Aftermath (v.2.0) If you have all of the above, the ideal install order is: 1. Original Red Alert 2. Counterstrike 3. Aftermath Note that you do not need to apply the 1.08 patch as all of its updates are included in Aftermath. 1.2. Installing Counterstrike over Aftermath If you purchase and install our first Red Alert expansion product, Counterstrike, after installing Aftermath, you will see the following error message: Compression error. Error ept0036: Old file not found. However, a file of the same name was found, no update done since file contents do not match. File: game.dat This message is normal and Aftermath will play correctly. To avoid this error, follow the installation order mentioned in 1.1 above. ============================================================================ 2. What's new in Aftermath? The following is a list of items that are udpated automatically by installing Aftermath. 2.1. Improved Multiplay In our on-going quest for a great game, you will notice that multiplay is a bit different in Aftermath than it was in previous versions of Red Alert. Part of this came from the addition of the new units, and part from our goal to promote multiple-unit tactics and diverse styles of play. Excluding the new units, here are the changes we've implemented: - After your second production facility (weapons factory, barracks, airfield, construction yard, helipad, naval yard, sub pen), you get NO PRODUCTION BONUS for that type! The only thing that multiples will get you (after 2) are different locations to have the units appear or land. - Concrete walls are now $50. - Gap Generators require more power, and have fewer hit points. - Spy planes will ungap a gap-covered area for a longer period. - Allied Turrets are more expensive, but fire faster & do more damage per shot. - Tesla Coils have more hit points. - The Iron Curtain recharges much quicker! - You can no longer ally with the computer. - Starting points for multiplayer maps are more random. - Ability to slow down unit build rates in internet play. (This should limit the "Tank Rush" strategy) 2.2. New Units Available Here is a table showing the new units and the pre-requisite buildings needed before they can be built in a multiplayer game: Unit Side Tech Level Pre-requisites ---- ---- ---------- -------------- ChronoTank Allied 7 Allied Tech Center, War Factory Mechanic Allied 2 Service Depot, Tent Barracks Demo Truck Both 10 Missile Silo, War Factory Shock Trooper Soviet 4 Tesla Coil, Barracks Tesla Tank Soviet 4 Tesla Coil, War Factory Missile Sub Soviet 5 Soviet Tech Center, Sub Pen MAD Tank Soviet 4 Soviet Tech Center, War Factory 2.3. New version of Westwood Chat Shipping with Aftermath is the latest (v.4.1) version of Westwood Chat, which has been enhanced in numerous ways when compared to the original version included with Red Alert. The key new features include: - Find/Page feature allows you to find your buddy online or send him a message without checking out every single channel on the system. - Improved channel list/user list now displays more channels or users, making the system much easier to navigate. - New
