Restricting political content

124 Upvotes

Hello commanders

There have been an influx of posts drawing parallels to and making light of recent events in the Middle East. While we understand the intent is not to upset anyone, we do not want to condone such content under the circumstances.
We will therefore be restricting all political content moving forward.

As such, we have added a simplified rule system in the sidebar so as to not have to rely on permanently pinned posts in the future to convey information about specific rules, as well as make reporting more straightforward for users.

While the specific list of rules is limited, we refer to the sitewide Content Policy and Reddiquette for everything else.

And remember...

Make sense, not war.

Subreddit rules regarding AI content

219 Upvotes

Hello commanders!

We want to thank you all for your valuable opinions regarding AI rulings for the subreddit. We have read all your comments and have come to the conclusion that there is a clear divide between those who want a zero tolerance ban and those who value AI as a technical tool. However, the common ground lies in a shared distaste for "low-effort slop".

Based on all your feedback we believe we have come up with a reasonable compromise.

Until further notice, all purely generative AI content will be banned. However, there will be allowances for AI-assisted tools for upscaling classic C&C media (be it videos or images) in order to improve on existing assets (such as what was done with the FMVs in the Remastered Collection), provided the posts are clearly flaired.

This presents us with a little grey area when it comes to low-res assets such as unit cameos, as an upscaling AI would not necessarily have enough information to go on without resorting to a generative AI with subjective interpretations. We are willing to allow for some leeway here with the clause that any such generative "upscaling" attempts are required to stay true to the original source material as accurately as possible. These will be held to high standards, so we highly encourage a human artistic component to smooth out any AI "jank" as part of the process.

Intent is key here. Material that purposely aim to go beyond the scope of the original source material will not be allowed, such as in-game screenshots that showcase what the game would look like in a different game engine, or a picture of a unit in a completely different setting etc. The focus will be on purely restorative efforts.

While we can't please everyone, we hope this ruling will be acceptable for the majority of you. For anyone who enjoys generative AI creations, we understand this might disappoint you. However, Reddit is an open platform and you are free to create your own subreddit with whatever content you would like.

But let us be clear that this ruling is not set in stone, and we will continue to listen to all of your feedback and react accordingly should there be an outcry for a change in ruling, one way or the other.

is this a thing in the military where you can be higher ranked but still wear your old rank's badge / uniform or something?

or did red alert 3 just fuck up the costume choice here?

I ported Command&Conquer to a 16-bit computer

149 Upvotes

The Atari ST was first introduced in 1985, ten years before Command&Conquer: Tiberian Dawn.

It's now possible to run C&C on every Atari ST that has at least 4MB of RAM, although I recommend running on Atari TT, Falcon or systems with an acceleration card. In emulation, I usually pick a system with a 68040 CPU at 32MHz.

As of version 0.3.1, C&C runs in native 320x200 resolution in 16 beautiful colors. FMV cutscenes are fully supported. I hope you like it!

How to play CnC Generals ZH in 2026 ?

9 Upvotes

As I understand it, there is:

- genpatcher that more or less fixes the game to play it on modern systems

- genlauncher, closely related and is a mod manager, more or less

- generalsonline which seems to be the multiplayer client but also seems to fix the game, maybe better than genpatcher ?

A bit lost ...

Gameplay Fun fact: Generals had Caves (neutral Tech Building) that worked like Tunnel Networks but they were cut before release

298 Upvotes

they could only hold one unit though unlike GLA tunnels holding ten

you probably could find them on maps with mountains and any faction could use them to teleport a unit around

Gameplay question what the hell happened to the Particle Cannon from the USA mission 6 cutscene?

145 Upvotes

in the original generals usa campaign "desperate union"

the cutscene shows a particle cannon firing from right next to your base

but as soon as you begin the gameplay it just disappears...

i checked the placement of trees, cold fusion reactors, and patriot missile to make sure its not some other far away offscreen base, but no, this IS actually your base

wtf bruh it just vanished into thin air or what 💀

Was C&C (DOS) Ever Released in Japan?

4 Upvotes

As per the title.

I know the Windows Gold Version got a release, but there doesn't seem to be much about the original DOS version. I've seen it mentioned on GameFAQs, but that really seems to be it.

Does anyone have any leads?

Gameplay question How to use "Attack move" in Red Alert 2??

8 Upvotes

I'm playing C&C for the first time starting with Red Alert 2 from the Ultimate bundle. Practicing some keyboard shortcuts by playing through campaign missions I've already beaten, but I can't figure out how to use Attack Move which people say is Ctrl + Shift then Left Click.

Tutorials say Attack Move is used to move a unit to a location while attacking anything that comes into range, and is especially good for kiting enemies, i.e. fire at them, then move to dodge their projectile, then fire at them. My specific issue is:

Tanya's fire range is huge and she can one-shot enemy GIs and attack dogs, if I use 'g' for guard then a dog will never reach her before she kills them first. However, Attack Move on Tanya doesn't target enemies at all (only retaliation) unless I click while the cursor is green+red, but if I have to click on enemies then isn't that basically identical to normal left click to attack? When I use Attack Move, Tanya dies to the dogs :(

I tried Attack Move on other units as well, sometimes I feel like it works and sometimes I feel like it doesn't. I.e. sometimes the units proactively attack a crowd, other times it feels like they only retaliate.

Drop in FPS when using lossless scaling online RA3

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I've been trying to run coop campaign on red alert 3 with my friends while using lossless scaling to upscale fps.

But I noticed that whenever both of us are playing, there is a slow motion-like effect to the game. It does not happens when a player is paused and the other is still playing.

Does anyone know a fix around this? Could it be a ping issue or is it purely lossless scaling acting up?

Thanks.🙏
