DEVELOPMENT NEWS

-Removing the third-party assets, used in version 1.4 is now finished

and current v1.5, and onwards, also features more return to old Red Alert 1 art,

with only a few structures / units custom-made, to suit the game engine requirements.

The new multi-player factions are added (eg. Croatia, Australia, Brazil, China, etc.).

The version 1.5 is now finalised and available for 2011.

THE SINGLEPLAYER GA

Install the game, from the down listed .exe installer file, and go to - shortcut, on your desktop.

You can play the Singleplayer campaigns in it's classic 2 sides settings: Soviets, or Allies,

with almost all feel of Red Alert 1, in improved optimised engine, with scroll coasting available.

MULTIPLAYER - ONLINE info / instructions (Win XP users based)

DEFAULT ONLINE PLAY

Online gaming is best with a LEGAL install of Yuri's Revenge game in your computer, prior installation of Red Alert Millenium.

Your already registered Yuri's Revenge serial number and nicknames will do just fine, for online, and be used automatically.

Just start Red Alert Millenium from it's desktop icon, and find and press 'proceed to online'.

ALTERNATIVE ONLINE PLAY

Some players have reported this procedure to work, so here it is, as we have received it from them:

If you don't have Yuri's Revenge game and don't bother: you can simply play online by: having, for instance:

"TunngleXP" client installed and running, and than going to 'Network Game' tab from Red Alert Millenium, to play online.

So: Install "TunngleXP", than sign up with them, than login in there in Tunngle client, than join a lobby of your choice in your

Tunngle (by double click on it) and just [leave Tungle running] and minimise it on your screen if you want. Than: just start

Red Alert Millenium from it's shortcut on your desktop, and find and press tab "Network Game" and you'll be connected and

ready to play, and also see all other players online this way, and be able to chat with them and start games, as normal online.

This way, the use of old (problematic) game servers is avoided, and any other problems associated with them.

In Tunngle, there are many country-based lobby's, eg. Croatian, Russian, etc, (matching to Red Alert Millenium multiplayer

countries to choose from). You don't need to use Yuri's Revenge looby in Tunngle, but just choose any country lobby, or

any other lobby you like, it will still work for Red Alert Millenium online, and you can enjoy being with your country mates.

FINDING YOUR COUNTRY LOBBY IN TUNNGLE

Start "Tunngle" (if it sais "starting adapter" for too long, just click "cancel" on the larger tab (which is below that one), and

Tunngle should start properly) than: on the 'Network Search" tab in Tunngle (top-left) enter: "Russian" or "Croatian" or any other

country name, and Tunngle will find it, than: just double click on that lobby name, and you've joined ! Than: just go and start

Red Alert Millernium, and click on the 'Network Game" from the game interface and you're ready to go.

There are also other gaming clients, similar to Tunngle (but more complicated, with non-automatic setup) eg. Hamachi, etc.

HEAR - SAY, INFO, ETC

Our goal is is always to support, and further promote and prolong the life of the BEST of RTS genre ever,

this way, combining the various artistic feel  from best RTS games, into this unique game, inspired

by the Westwood's Red Alert game serial, but: being an ORIGINAL game today, that still develops...

In our contacts to EA, and Westwood, we are answered that: "EA reckognises, and appreciates the work

of such authors" as we are, and they "may likely be interested publishing such works in the future".

So, gamers, prepare, get ready, go buy a new mouse, and - here it comes:    RED   ALERT   MILLENIUM

This game music also includes some cool music from other legendary RTS games , as: "7-th Legion",

"Dark Reign 2", KKND 2 Crossfire" and so on... The rest of music is original Red Alert 1 music, by Frank Klepacki,

and game music of legendary Oztronix Band, as well, that draws so slose to Frank Klepacki style, in their

concept dedicated to C&C serial, and included into this game... (In our contact, Frank Klepacki has expressed

his thanks, for having his music included in this game, as well...). Any time, Frank, you deserve it...

We are contactable, at any time, for any issues, questions, etc, on the email above,

and we'll always do our best to do what we can help with, depending on the amount of our time available...

(community members, and supporting the C&C games since the days of Dune II) - for the record:

we purchased every C&C game, played several times over and over, moded, and: lived it, and still do,

so that ORIGINAL game, Red Alert Millenium - is now coming out, of this dedicated work...

***Red Alert Millenium is proudly, based on Westwood 2D game engine,

that is additionaly improved by us, for the needs of this game, so that dream of playing

Red Alert "the way it should be" can be continued, and live forever, if possible.

We always thank to EA, and their always kind staff, for continued understanding and

support so far, and hoping for more titles in C&C universe coming soon, of course.
