hi, i love to see a reskin of renegade x to red alert 1 era just for nostalgia and think it would be fun difference like the tiberian sun changes.
i'm no 3d designer (and as of writing this cant get a server to work) but if there is a program thats easy enough to understand i'd like to help make RA1-X happen.
going with what you said marinealver, i'm in similar mind, keeping it as allied fast but weaker, soviet strong but slower.
if going with RA1 and its addon stuff, got plenty to use as in rebalancing units.
defenses for allies - turret can be made slower firing but stronger against armour. pillox as an auto defence too with gatlings like the wolverine TS unit in RX.
defenses for soviet - going with the tesla tank that was made for RX just tweaked to a tesla coil. same with a nod flame tank made into a flame tower.
as for transports would say just give both sides an apc with 50 cal. and the chinook.
infantry wise they both for varied to use, as for tanya and a soviet commando (boris? maybe).
air support, longbow anti tank and hind anti infantry.
as for balance tho. if going with unit cap and the soviets could have as example 7 mammoths vs allied 7 medium tanks or chrono tank it woud be unfair so if a mammoth could be counted as 2 units for production in game think it would balance out.
thats the start of my thoughts anyways
thanks
