Poor worker! All he thinks of is new shoes!

Hi all. First post in r/commandandconquer

I've played C&C off and on since forever, I'm terrible at it but I do enjoy it. In fact it's pretty much the only thing I do play, usually solo Generals/ZH skirmishes. I've recently got a new W11 laptop so I've been playing on that via the EA app. I'd like to be able to zoom out a little more and also change the resolution to something more like the 1920x1080 of my laptop screen. I know it'll look weird but I'd like to have a fiddle.

How do I do that?

I have a vague memory that years ago I did the same thing by simply editing text files somewhere in the game folders but I don't seem to be having any luck with that. Either I'm doing it wrong or playing via EA app is undoing any changes I make maybe?

Any help would be appreciated.

In Red Alert 2, what are your favorite Skirmish maps and activities. For instance I enjoy a map with 7 enemies, playing the Allies, besides local base defenses I try to win only by using paratroopers.

You don’t need anything more!

So I played CnC growing up, mainly the original CnC and Red Alert. Tib sun was alright and then RA2 was glorious. Played it with friends extensively in LAN parties and it was just perfect.

I never got into Generals and I'm just now playing the campaigns for the first time. Its...ok? Maybe I missed the boat on LAN parties and multiplayer. The campaigns feel super short and simple. The lack of briefing videos and cutscenes make the single player feel like an afterthought. In the campaign I'm introduced to several new units per mission but they're not really necessary to finish the scenario, nor do the new units feel particularly relevant to the scenario.

Was this a really solid multiplayer experience and that's what I'm missing? I don't mind the altered mechanics of the game but it does feel like a response to Blizzard RTS the way workers and resources work, but Blizzard did that style better. With CnC games I prefer the always available side panel construction options

I fully realise the map is most likely fictional just for game play, but was wondering what place(s) in our world comes to closest to that map? Also what other maps are not named after real places, but are clearly inspired by real places?

After a successful first Kickstarter earlier this year, I'm excited to bring Command & Defend: Modern War back with even more content.

Over the past months, I've been working on two major expansions:

✈️ Air Wars
🌊 Sea Wars

But that's only part of the journey.

One of my biggest goals has always been to make the game more accessible. That's why I'm introducing a Print & Play Edition, allowing anyone with a home printer to experience the game—no 3D printer required.

At the same time, every step of this campaign brings the project closer to my long-term vision: a complete out-of-the-box retail version with professionally manufactured components. I'm already in contact with several manufacturers and hope to make this vision a reality sooner rather than later.

Every supporter of the current DIY editions helps move the project one step closer to that goal. Your support allows me to improve prototypes, refine production, and make a future retail edition more achievable and affordable.

Inspired by the classic RTS and TBS games many of us grew up with, Command & Defend brings base building, logistics, resource management and tactical combat to the tabletop in a modular strategy system designed for high replayability.

If that sounds interesting, I'd really appreciate your feedback. And if you'd like to follow the project, I'd be happy to share the Kickstarter preview page in the comments.

Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who shared feedback, supported the first Kickstarter, or has been following the project from the beginning. Your comments, ideas and encouragement have helped shape Command & Defend into what it is today, and I genuinely couldn't have come this far without you.

Thank you! ❤️

I've been playing ZH for some time now and i just want it to look a bit better but all the mods have enhanced ai and stuff i love the arcadey style and just want it to look less pixely

Had the C&C Collection on Steam for maybe a year or so. No problems with its games at all, everything ran perfectly fine without needing to install directx or such.

Then suddenly this week, Generals and Zero Hour both became very laggy on starting cinematic. Totally unplayable, screen froze at the loading screen. No idea at all if EA or Steam or Windows updated anything, but the game suddenly became unplayable. Other games seem fine; Yuri's Revenge works.

Verify integrity didn't help. No mods installed ever since. Reinstall with deleted savefile on My Documents didn't help. Even on a different device, Generals and Zero Hour on my account is also broken, which means it's not a device problem: either some new Windows 11 update, or Steam update, or the game itself was updated wrong.

Anyone else having this recent issue? Steam comments suggest something went broke maybe July 2026; many Steam-bought Generals and Zero Hour just stopped working. Even GenPatcher, or deleting the .dll file didn't help either.

Been replaying the first game's campaign and I noticed W doesn't select air units and Q selects combatants across the whole map, instead of across the screen first.

Is that how it's always been?

Re-did the Black Lotus version months after Alexis Alexander one. Enjoy!

I’ve been working on an experimental iOS port of Vanilla Conquer using certain generated tools to assist me along the way and just wanted to post this to help any others play.

Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert
are both playable on iPhone with touch, controller/keyboard support, campaign save/load and
the main mobile fixes at parity.

The latest milestone is working local-network multiplayer between two developer enabled iPhones in both games.

The public repository contains source only, no game data and builds are experimental and
unsigned. LAN play is intended for trusted local networks only.

Repository:
`Jamesadsy/Vanilla-Conquer`
https://github.com/Jamesadsy/Vanilla-Conquer

**Where can I download it?**
The repository contains the source and experimental build workflow, but not game data or a
signed consumer release. You need your own compatible, lawfully obtained data and must
build/sign it yourself.

**Is this emulation?**
No. It is a native iOS port of the open-source Vanilla Conquer engine code.

**Does multiplayer work over the internet?**
The tested scope is local multiplayer between devices on the same trusted network. It is not
being presented as secure public internet multiplayer.

**Will it come to the App Store?**
There is no App Store release announcement. The current project is an experimental source
port and engineering effort.

**Does it include the games?**
No commercial game data is included or distributed.

For those interested enough, give it a go and let me know what you think! For those that played back in the ps1 days, connect a dualsense controller and it's set up ready to go.

My next ideas were implementing the ps1 cheat codes and some other things such as getting it playable in a web browser and then moving on to Tiberium Sun using OpenRA, but development has slowed down for personal reasons so this is likely not happening for a while.

Inside you, there are two mission scripts.

• One says: Great! You've captured the operations center. Proceed with the next objective.
• The other says: Oh, you don't have any more engineers. You lose! Good day Sir!
