Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Retribution
Project Overview
Synopsis
Like previous Command & Conquer real-time strategy games, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 contains two separate campaigns with distinct story lines, one for each playable faction.
Red Alert 2 is set in the same alternative history universe as Red Alert in which Adolf Hitler was removed from history. With Hitler gone, the Soviet Union led by Joseph Stalin attempted to conquer Europe but was defeated by the Allied nations and their military destroyed. Fearing that a regime change would cause mass unrest in the Soviet Union, the victorious Allies installed Alexander Romanov, a distant relative of Tsar Nicholas II, as the puppet Soviet Premier. Romanov acquiesces to the Allies' demands at first, though he builds up the Soviet military for "defense purposes" – a cover for an intended invasion of the United States. The game's story line starts off in 1972, with the United States Armed Forces caught completely off guard by the sudden massive Soviet invasion of the United States, with Soviet aircraft, naval vessels, amphibious forces, and paratroopers coming in on both the East Coast and West Coast and with the majority of Soviet ground forces coming in through Mexico, starting World War III. The U.S. attempts to retaliate with the use of nuclear missiles, but Yuri, leader of the Soviet Psychic Corps and Premier Romanov's top advisor, uses his mind control to manipulate the personnel charged with launching the warheads and leaves them to explode in their silos. Within hours, the U.S. is overrun with Soviet Army troops. The player either takes the role of an American Commander, tasked by General Ben Carville with defending the United States, or a Soviet Commander leading the invasion for Premier Romanov.

I'm looking for a person that could design a basic loading screen & some other minor designs with Baltic themes for a new Baltic faction. This help would be most appreciated, and would help our team a lot!
Say something you think would fit
Yuri (Russian: Юрий) is a powerful psychic that was once Premier Romanov's chief advisor and later turned against the world in a bid to take over with his secretly organized personal army. Most likely, he, not Romanov, was the true ruler of the USSR in the 1970s.
His appearance bears an uncanny resemblance to Vladimir Lenin and Kane, with a bald head and goatee. On his forehead are tattooed three Hebrew letters "resh" (ר), "vav" (ו), and "yod" (י), while psi stimulators linked to a psi collar underneath his clothes is surgically implanted into his skull. Professor Albert Einstein translated a Soviet poster for Agent Tanya at one point, on it was a reference to Yuri as "hostis humani generis", Latin for "the enemy of mankind".

No, comrade Premier. It has only begun.
We fight a life or death struggle against the powers of capitalism. Only complete faith in Yuri can protect you. Only total compliance will save the lives of you and your family. Empty your mind, and submit to my will. The less you know, the better off you will be. I am Yuri.. obey me.
It would have been good to see inside your mind, General. I still may get the chance...
Although a charming and eloquent man of peace at first glance, Romanov is in reality a dictator consumed by progressing madness. His experiences during the Second World War branded him; memories of foreign troops crossing the snowy streets, burning factories, his homeland crushed by the decadent empire of the west refuse to die and feed a relentless hate of the western Allies. As he grew up, he carefully nurtured this feeling, drawing both from communist ideals and his tsarist roots, drawing up his plan to rebuild the Soviet Union as a superpower.
Original voice sample for personality example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33NC7JwAdek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsX_XXq06mM
Listen very carefully! I'm not your pet, Mr. President! We Romanovs have our legacy to consider...
Comrade General, welcome to the future of Soviet Union. I want to introduce you my little friend. This is Sam... like Uncle Sam. Say hello, little Uncle. The Americans, they have turtle in children's film, it teaches them to fear the Soviet Union. But the little turtle says "Big Russian missiles coming", and he ducks and he covers. Duck, cover, haha! Today, we will make history, comrade! Together we will destroy the United States - their cities, their homes, their dreams, and perhaps more! This is my advisor Yuri. He will help make this possible...
Michael Dugan was the President of the United States during the Third World War and the Psychic Dominator Disaster.
Dugan's most outstanding characteristic was his sense of optimism. He was rarely known to jump to negative conclusions, even when the circumstances were dire. When General Benjamin Carville first informed him of the coming Soviet invasion, referring to it as a "situation," Dugan's first response was "how bad can it be, Ben?" Dugan then demonstrated the same optimism when he contacted Russian Premier Romanov, kindly asking him "what's going on over there, Alex?" It was only when Dugan received printed intel of the coming invasion that he finally showed anger, accusing Romanov (justly) of breaking their Alliance without provocation. Dugan showed similar patience and good feeling when Yuri announced his intent to enslave mankind, offering the madman a free pardon if he agreed to stop his Psychic Dominators from activating, even offering him a leadership role in the postwar Soviet government. He swiftly took action however when Yuri continued his plans, completely unfazed by Dugan's offers.
Original voice sample for personality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsX_XXq06mM
I have, um... you're throwing everything you've got at us, Alex. We're supposed to be allies, you maniac! I'm the one that put you into office!
I don't give a wooden nickel about your legacy!
I never wanted to send in you against our own citizens. But those Psychic Beacons are turning our upstanding Americans into Soviet-controlled killers. Move fast, move wisely, and try not to hurt my constituents. Alright?
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to the Allied war effort. He was instrumental in making the Chronosphere a practical weapon. In an alternate Red Alert Timeline, he was later erased from the timeline by Cherdenko.
Allow me to say 'Danke Schön', commander. Thank you for saving my home. I have something that how shall we say to even the score ya? You are aware of my Chronosphere. It is a device which is capable of moving matter through time and through space... I have thought many long days and nights for the perfect place on where to deploy this weapon. There is only one small problem. The perfect place is to be here, on a tiny island in the Florida Keys, only a few short kilometers from Soviet Cuba.
Lieutenant Eva Lee was the Allied intelligence officer under General Carville during the first and second iterations of the Third World War. Her main duty was to brief and assist the Allied Commander who was in charge of the bulk of the Allied forces.
Commander, good morning. We've successfully instituted the president's emergency Lazarus Protocol. I'm Lieutenant Eva, the intel officer assigned to your command... and since you're the only commander left alive, I guess I'm pretty lucky to have a job.
We're all very sorry for General Carville, commander. The Soviets have been using their Crazy Ivans everywhere. Carville always said that you will be the one that will lead us to victory. It seems you're proving him right.
Lieutenant Zofia (Russian: Cофья) was a Soviet intelligence officer during the first and second iterations of the Third World War. Her main job was to brief and assist the Soviet Commander who was in charge of the bulk of the Soviet forces.
Comrade General. My name is Lieutenant Zofia. It will be my job to make sure your command runs smoothly. I have assisted in over fifty successful campaign simulations since the great war. I believe you will be more than satisfied with my services.
I think you are satisfied now, da? Yuri has his own stronghold here, outside Moscow, and he is massing his own forces, but the bulk of the army is yours. Don't... don't speak, General. They are listening for you now. If we do not speak again, it has been an honor to serve you.
Tanya was the codename of an Allied female commando who operated during the first and second iterations of the Third World War. Her skills rival, if not better than those of the famed US Navy SEALs, and was equipped with dual pistols and C4. In addition, she was also trained to swim long distances allowing her to plant the explosives on hulls of enemy ships. Furthermore, she could self-heal at a slow rate due to improved provisions.
After the Soviet Union was defeated, she was trained to resist mind control in case they had to combat it again. She also was trained using her C4 charges on enemy ground vehicles, unlike Navy SEALs.
* The voice should be energetic, & in most cases playful. After all she is a commando!
Anytime, boss.
How about some action?
Woooo, Shake it, baby! Yeah!
Locked and loaded!
No fear, Tanya's here!
What? <laugh> Yeah, right, Boris is skilled. Ooh, look at me, I can call in an airstrike! Please...

Lithuanian General has a brief appearance in the new Baltic faction missions.
Your first task is to infiltrate the Soviet war base located here, in Vilnius. With their blueprints we may be able to expand our secret arsenal a lot further.
Great work Commander, they didin't even see it coming!
Emperor Yoshiro of Japan is the long time ruler of the Empire of the Rising Sun, and presides over the Empire at the zenith of its power as one of the three superpowers of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. He is cherished as a living god by his people.
Personality:
Emperor Yoshiro is a traditionalist who strictly follows the code of Bushido, the samurai way of the warrior. He fundamentally believes that the Empire's destiny is to rule the entire world, that he was Emperor by divine right and that his fate was preordained. He rarely shows emotion and often spoke in a seemingly wise tone.
He holds the ideologies of the other two world powers in contempt, regarding them as barbaric compared to the perceived superiority of Japanese culture and ideals.
His hobbies include drinking tea, practicing with his Katana, cultivating bonsai trees, practicing calligraphy, and empire building.
Citizens of the world, the Empire of The Rising sun has risen. The day of our destiny has arrived. Do not struggle what is inevitable. The Soviets have resisted and suffered for their arrogance. Do not make the same mistake. Survival is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. Life or extinction, it is up to you.
Today is the day that destiny has promised us. No longer will we suffer the abysment and the corruption of the foreign barbarians. For as they battle amongst themselves, we've resurrected our realm creating a new Empire of The Rising Sun. Commander, you are destined to reawaken Bushido, the way of the warrior. You will be a part of a new shogunate, uniting powerful leaders from all 4 corners of our Empire. Together, we will first attack Soviet Russia and not crush not only their armies, but their leaders, their spirit and their hope. My son, Crown Prince Tatsu will assist us in this noble endeavor.
An African-American prison guard, who is in charge of locking up Yuri.
You behave! Or there won't be no dessert tonight!
Extra characters, such as but not limited to: Units,multiplayer taunts & other.
You must send help, don't ask questions, just do as you're told.
Is not my army beautiful? Behold! As it destroys everything you own!
It will be very boring for me, but.. perhaps you should surrender?
Latvian General has a brief appearance in the new Baltic faction missions.
Now, brothers and sisters: Attack!
The Nordics have joined our cause and sent a group of spies on our way. Use them to infiltrate buildings.
Our uniquely built UAVs can sneakily spy on the enemy without them noticing.
The Estonian General has a brief appearance in the new Baltic faction missions.
We've got to establish a contact with the Nordics, otherwise this is a lost cause! Romanov's army is too powerful for us three to handle!
With the enchanced tesla technology, we can quickly erase tanks & buildings. Build plenty, and wreck some havoc!
Our Estonian Snipers can quickly reload and kill enemies from a great distance. Use them to clear out the infantry blocking our way.
This female Soviet newscaster was reporting on the war against the Allies in the Soviet campaign.
Our nation's sub-leaders presided over the parade today in the Red Square to celebrate their ongoing victory over the United States. Premier Romanov himself presented the Order of Stalin to the hero of the campaign, General Vladimir.
The Virus was Yuri's sniper unit used during the second iteration of the Third World War.
Viral agent ready.

Here comes the plague.
How about a nice shot in the arm?
Mmm, better go to the clinic.
I need an antidote!

A large, strong man, Carville has a very cowboy-like attitude and enjoys the finer things of life - alcohol, cigars and victories over communists. He has a very laid back personality, but becomes dead serious when military affairs are concerned, though he is not one to shy away from making a joke or a playful poke at one of his coworkers, like Agent Tanya.
Good Morning Commander. I've got good news and bad news. The good news is uh, it's great to be home again. The bad news is our U2s have picked up a fleet of Soviet ships entering the South Pacific. It appears that General Vladimir is aiming at our Pacific naval command center at Pearl Harbor, as if they can mount a successful attack against us, heh heh! What I want you to do is to prepare a genuine aloha for that little bulldog Vladimir. Oh, and uh, get yourself a cup of coffee, commander. You look deader than a Texas armadillo.
I hope you're rested and ready commander. As of 0800 hours you'll be in charge of every satellite, base, tank, airplane, enlisted man, woman and child in the eastern United States. You answer to the president, and you answer to me. Your ops officer and your vital lifeline will be the Lieutenant. Your point man for this mission will be Special Agent Tanya.
A senior Soviet officer, Vladimir was given command of the forces invading the United States. He has a brash and boastful personality, and has little patience for officers under his command, particularly when they prove to be better commanders than he is.
He was incompetent glory hound who's your superior in the first half of the Soviet campaign. He gets you into trouble in the second mission by assaulting the vastly superior American fleet with only his personal command ship, and then leaving you to deal with them as he flees the battle. Then when you have completed the destruction of the U.S. East Coast fleet, he takes credit for your accomplishments by returning to Moscow before you can. His one saving grace is being savvy enough to see through Yuri, but it feels rewarding when you finally remove him from command. (Kill him)
Hear me you foul American phantom or whoever you are.
You can work your armies like a puppeteer all you want, but this is my play.
Here is the city that you have saved. Without the Psychic amplifier which you so irrationally destroyed, I no longer have much use for it. Behold the power OF MOTHER RUSSIA!!!
Boyd was an air force lieutenant by the start of the Third World War. When the war started, Boyd and another officer were ordered to begin the nuclear launch sequence as part of a retaliatory strike against the USSR.
However, Yuri intervened: when Boyd answered a call from the command hotline, he was mind-controlled and prevented his comrade from opening the missile silos. Holding his coworker at gunpoint, Boyd caused the missiles to detonate on the closed silo doors.
We have confirmation. Missiles primed.
[the phone rings and Boyd answers it] Missile command.
He used to be the Allies watch officer, before his comrade Jerry got mind controlled and prevented him from opening the silo doors, thus killing them both from the explosion.
[Opens up a box] Armed.
10 seconds to launch. Open the missile silos.
Jerry, what? We have to open the silos or they'll explode on the..
The Silo doors are closed. This is suicide!
Bing was a trillionaire and the CEO of Massivesoft during the Psychic Dominator Disaster. Bing alerted Allied command to Yuri's activities in Seattle. When Allied forces arrived and liberated the Massivesoft campus, Bing made a donation to the Allied war effort.
I don't know how long i'll be able to stay online.. Yuri's forces are.. crawling all over massivesoft campus.
He's built a nuclear missle silo, and he's threating to nuke Seattle, unless i fund his war effort.
He's also forcing our.. our indeed apartment, it's some sort of special project, looks to me like it's some genetic software.

With The United States reeling from one bloody blow after the other, American President Mike Dugan is calling to European allies from an unknown location.
French General Renee Lyon, is calling for a quick Allied commitment. But, so far, the 2 countries have been slow to operate.
The German Chancellor is one of three Allied leaders from Europe that helped President Michael Dugan to fight against the Soviet Union in the Third World War. He is the most influential person in Germany.
Our men will go nowhere until this threat is eliminated!
He wanted his country to help America fight the Soviet Union, but the Soviets had two nukes nearby that kept him, as well as Germany and Great Britain, from fighting. His country was too afraid that they would use those nukes on France like they used them on Chicago. Fortunately, Tanya, along with some spies, GIs, and crew from a plane that crashed near the nukes, managed to destroy both nukes, and allowed France, as well as Germany and Great Britain, to join the Allies.
Do not think us indiffrent to your situation Mr.President, but for us United States is very far away.
We all need leaders, agent, no?
The objects you see in the second photograph are Soviet missle silos. As you can see commander, they are a bit too close for comfort.
I believe Romanovs intention is to keep us out of your war.
He commanded the South Korean navy during Operation: Home Front to destroy the Soviet home defense at Vladivostok, which eventually failed. He was mentioned in Operation: Sub Divide that he attempted the help the Allies in Hawaii by sending in a large Korean fleet consisting of Destroyers, Aegis Cruisers and Aircraft Carriers which were all sunk by the Soviet Commander.
Form up! All ships, at the ready!
Good morning commander and welcome to basic training.
There's a war on so we have to make this a crash course.
In front of you is your battlefield control interface, with this interface you can command any soldier on the field.Commander. This is only one soldier, in a few days, you will have to command armies, now left click on him and then left click on open ground to get him moving out of the Base.
Hurry up Commander, you're boring me..
Now that you've mastered the "difficult" task of commanding a single soldier.... try ordering around a squad first select all of the men by left clicking and holding down the mouse button.You really weren't ready for red team, were you Commander. If this had happened against the Soviets, your base would now be in flames.
He finds and kills Vladimir, hiding inside a closet. The general is then never seen again in the game. He is saying: No, no! I found him!

Solid as a rock, sir!
Affirmative, sir!
They want a scrap?
A brand new unit modded in-to the game.
The Secret Service is a law enforcement agency in the United States of America. Secret Service Special Agents are bodyguards in charge of the physical protection of certain individuals, most importantly, the President of the United States. They generally wield small firearms and may also carry a briefcase to attack their enemies with.

Engineers were a multi-purpose non-combatant infantry unit used during the first and second iterations of the Third World War. Although engineers possessed decent armor, they are unarmed, relying on commanders to clear the battlefield for them, or more likely, to be transported.

Armed with a high-caliber bolt-action rifle, SAS snipers are among the greatest infantry killers of the war, having an effective range far greater than that of standard infantry units, and even that of Yuri's specialized snipers, the Viruses. The sniper was also a master of stealth, being able to kill enemy infantry at long range without revealing his position.
Sniper ready.
Give me a target.
Proceeding to vantage point.
Just give me a clear view.
I love to camp.
Navy SEALs are able to kill any infantry with one burst of their submachine gun. If they can reach a building, their C4 charge will instantly destroy it. They are also competent swimmers, making their C4 charges a threat to ships as well.
Let's get it on!
I'm your man.
Who's your daddy?
How 'bout a swim?
Special delivery!
Equipped with a high powered jetpack and high-calibre semi-automatic carbine, these brave men can stay in the air almost indefinitely.
During the war, their first notable deployment was to assist Tanya in retaking the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs from Soviet control.
Judging by their noticeable accent, they are likely recruited from the southern United States.
Rockets in the sky!
All fired up!
Check out the view!

Rather than attacking enemy units, the spy targets an enemy and changes his appearance to that of the enemy unit. A spy can mimic even dogs, or units that normally do not move in a regular way (Chrono legionnaire, Rocketeer). This can lead to a comic and decamouflaging sight of those units walking.
Mission, sir?
Give me a plan.
Operation underway.
Agent ready.
The chrono legionnaire was a high-tech Allied soldier, whose suit and weapon were based on the Chronosphere technology. They were used during the first and second iterations of the Third World War.
Yes, Commander.
Already there.
Deconstructing.
Never existed.
They're history.
The Propaganda Truck was an Allied vehicle used during the Third World War. It is a standard truck equipped with loud speakers to spread capitalistic propaganda messages.
Join the Allies! We have hot food, women, and guns for everyone.
Start a new life with the Allied Forces. You'll get all the bread and milk you could ever want.Join the winning side. Be a pioneer of freedom with the New Soviet Democracy!
Free TVs for all who join us! Act now... freedom is yours for the taking.
Bring us the fat and lazy... come join in the decadent lifestyle of the west.
Chrono commandos are specially trained SEAL operatives, equipped with a man-portable Chronosphere device, identical to the one used by chrono legionnaires. Apart from the ability to chronoshift across the map, chrono commandos retain their trademark equipment such as the C4 explosive charges, however their cameo shows an Uzi instead of an MP5.
Goin' down!
This is too easy.
Cover me
A little C4 knockin' at your door!
The Chrono miner may only chronoshift to a friendly Ore refinery and will do so automatically when full. It must move conventionally to any other location. They can also be commanded to do so, providing a way to quickly escape when under attack. This can also allow Chrono miners to teleport to a player controlled refinery which is even not directly accessible by wheels, like across bodies of water or across the whole map. This may be significant for going to a forward refinery quickly and efficiently. Chronoshifting will also leave behind any Terror drones that may have embedded themselves in the Chrono miner, but will keep Crazy Ivan's bombs with them.
Oh, hello Sir!
24/7
Always on time!
Chrono miner reporting for duty!
The Grizzly is one of the fastest tanks in RA2, easily outpacing its Soviet counterpart, the Rhino. It is also an inexpensive unit to build, making it easy to mass produce quickly. These attributes combine to make a unit that is tailor built for swarming hit-and-run tactics, with an above decent damage rating that makes the Grizzly a potent threat to enemy structures and vehicles.
High speed, low drag.
On our way, sir.
Destination Commander?
Unit reporting!
The IFV can be garrisoned by one infantry unit. This will cause its weapon to change. Without any infantry inside, it is primarily an anti-aircraft unit and fires a weaker version of the missiles used by the Patriot Missile System against both ground and air targets. While fast, the IFV is very lightly armoured. It requires support from other vehicles or the element of surprise in order to last long.
Everything's made to fit.
IFV ready.
We can make adjustments.
It's a sure shot!
Watch my dust!
It has a large anti-tank cannon mounted on a flexible, tracked platform, which is capable of easily destroying enemy tanks.

The tank is a technological marvel created by Albert Einstein. Developed relatively late in the war, it incorporated technology allowing it to take on the appearance of any organic item in order to disguise itself. Like in Shakespeare's Macbeth, the Mirage tank was designed so that the forest could move.
SURPRISE!!
Mean, green, and unseen!
Aren't the trees lovely?
One more for the landfill!
Essentially a much heavier version of the M113 APC, the Battle Fortress was a heavily armored mobile bunker with a machine gun and firing ports for up to five infantry. It was tied with the Kirov Airship for the strongest armor of any unit. The Battle Fortress was so large and heavy that it could easily crush walls and most other vehicles simply by driving over them, including the mighty Apocalypse Tanks. However, due to the Battle Fortress's slow speed, this ability was impractical against a competent enemy commander.
Battle Fortress on the alert
Let's make a warpath.
Takin' in close.
We will trample our enemies!
Let's load up the troops!
The Allied Nighthawk Transport was designed to carry troops and spec-ops forces swiftly and safely from bases to an LZ, and also to evacuate Allied forces. To this end, Allied designers equipped the Nighthawk with radar baffling armour, making the unit undetectable by Soviet radar towers. Furthermore, the Nighthawk flies much more quietly than its predecessor. It is equipped with a nose mounted chaingun that was effective against infantry units. The Nighthawk possesses multiple hatches and a main rear hatch that allows it to quickly load and unload infantry.

Destination?
Korean aeronautical engineers sought to replace the under-armored Harrier used by the rest of the Allied nations with an indigenous design, emphasizing both survivability and firepower, while maintaining the flexibility of VTOL technology and a high speed. The result was the advanced Black Eagle jet.

Amphibious transports were used by the Allies, Soviets and Yuri to move ground troops and vehicles across water. The Allied and Yuri's transports are visually identical, while the Soviet version has a different appearance; however, all three share the same function and statistics.
Welcome aboard.
Having a nice day?
How about an adventure?
Plenty of window seats.
Let's take the scenic route.
During the Third World War, the Allies developed a new version of the Destroyer. This new Destroyer was greatly different from its predecessor: it was armed with a cannon for short-range defense against surface targets and instead of the old Depth charges it used Ospreys to engage submarines.
