They did some neat game mechanic tweaks, especially of the previously useless units: mechanics and thieves being able to revive and capture vehicles. Keeps the spirit of the old game but makes it more fun.
- blueflow 3y agoThat epic moment when your thief manages to capture the Ukrainian bomb truck and sends it right back to the enemies base!
- Muromec 3y agoUkrainian bomb track in RA?
- blueflow 3y agoUkraine is one of the two playable Soviet factions in OpenRA. The nuke truck is a unit exclusive to Ukraine.
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>The nuke truck is a unit exclusive to Ukraine. I now see what the creators did there. I didn't think about it when I was a kid.

- saithound 3y agoYou,didn't think about it as a kid because the original Red Alert didn't include a nuke truck. Although one of the expansions (Aftermath?) did, it wasn't exclusive to Ukraine. The nuke truck was made the Ukrainian unique unit only in OpenRA.

- dismalpedigree 3y agoI like this plan. I’m going to try it when I play against my kids next.
- ta1243 3y agoDo they have an option where you can steal Russian tanks by using a tractor?
- blueflow 3y agoNot with tractors, but allied factions can do that with mechanics by capturing destroyed soviet tank husks. This is a worthwhile tactic because the soviets have bigger, more expensive tanks than allies.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> did some neat game mechanic tweaks Original RA had a tendency to devolve into tank spamming. That takes skill. But it's closer to tactical than strategic. Does OpenRA deal with this in any way?
- philistine 3y agoPlay it with seasoned players. You’ll quickly get a sense for the Meta. It’s not tank spamming, I can promise you that.
