Remastered single player Campaigns & fast paced, balanced multiplayer. Rise of the East introduces two completely new factions to the game, East Asia (China) and GLA from Generals. Full multiplayer functionality using CnCNet Client and many new and exclusive features, improvements and much more!
Firstly, thank you all for the ongoing support and patience over these last 2 years of development. Thanks to the fans and contributors we were able to hit top 100 mods in 2020 and top 5 in 2021.
If you want a rather long bedtime story, the 3.0 changelog can be found here.
Here are some of the core changes since 2.2.5:
So what does almost 300 (288ish) beta patches get you? Keep reading and find out 😏
3.0 offers the first 3 of 7 C&C Generals missions for both, China and the GLA, aiming to give the player an experience as close to the General's counterpart as possible (except for The Dragon Awakes, pending its remake). I am aiming for all 7 to be available in 3.1.
We're also adding challenge maps on the less serious side of things, such as Yuri's Genetic Challenge and GLA's Defense Challenge - both play as survival maps. Other maps and play styles will be added in the future. Challenge and Cooperative maps can be found in the Skirmish and Multiplayer lobbies.
And for some bad news: RA2 missions have been disabled pending a remake in the future.
Each faction has a new subfaction with unique technologies and playstyle:
Vietnam is infantry heavy and utilize squad training and personnel carriers to overwhelm their enemies. Vietnam is also the only faction to have 2 trainable hero infantry units.
Ukraine drops the slow but heavy hitter Soviet design and favors utility instead. Much of their arsenal revolves around "iron" based weapons both, in defense and offense.
Japan utilizes mechanized infantry and vehicles capable of switching modes in battle, whether in the air or on land. Chrono technology has also been advanced into Cryo tech throughout their arsenal.
Genesis is the experimental branch under Yuri's Army with a focus on mutation and subterranean assault. Their tech choices allow them to adapt to almost any enemy line-up depending on situation.
Cobra Cell relies on hit and run more than the other GLA Cells and specialises at crippling the enemy's front lines. This Cell can also access economy boosters earlier than any other faction.
3.0 pushes the 20 year old engine to its limits, here are some of the new features:
All of these features were made possible with Ares, Phobos, DP (Kratos) and Otamaa's own custom features. For a preview check out the video below:
This update also introduces General Powers for all factions, which are designed to adjust your gameplay depending on the situation.
General Powers are granted at each tier free of charge. GPs give the commander a choice between tools such as unit upgrades, support powers or economy boosts - allowing for a strategy shift or counter to certain combinations.
The example below shows Ukraine's Rank 1 choices between upgrading their Bulava Tank with more armor and amphibious tech or gaining access to a new tiered Support Power that spawns Iron Striders anywhere on the map:
Some GPs are also backwards compatible, meaning once you reach a certain tier but end up losing the tech building, the new tech (unit, upgrades etc) granted by the GP will still be available. For SPs, a lesser version is granted. E.g. USA Rank 3 GP to unlock the Paladin Tank is accessed at T3, but the Paladin Tank itself replaces the M1A1 at T2 once selected:
Next up we have some exclusive assets to showcase - but in the interest of article length, I'll try to keep the images to a minimum!:
Without reposting from the previous article too much (said article can be found here):
Preview of the new desert terrain and some of the new Asian structures
The client has been updated with new visuals and functionality.

We're hosting an image contest in the discord server until the 20th of August!
Has been too long since I last posted, so here's a rather long article to address the delay and discuss/showcase some of the new features.
Quick pit-stop before 2.3. This update contains many fixes and adds some cool new features. We are also CNCNet sponsored now!
Balance and content patch, part of the 2.2 series. Remakes many MP maps for quality of life improvements and enables GLA single player missions 1 and 2.
After almost 2 years in development, I present you: Rise of the East 3.0 - Featuring all new exclusive features, missions and audio/visual improvements.
This patch takes RotE versions 3.0 to the current, up to date 3.0.0c You should only download this if you do not or cannot update via the client or if...
I really love this mod, but the AI threshold for this mod is a bit too high. I think you can make more difficult AI, but it shouldn't be so aggressive and economically cheating in simple and medium difficulty. I would like to express my respect to the production team and hope that you can provide feedback on my opinions. Thank you very much for your efforts
bản update như con cặc nào là lỗi màn hình còn tức nhất là khi định save nhấn esc nhưng lật mặt sau cứng đơ không di chuyển được con chuột coi như cũng thông thấy luôn
how add custom maps?
romanov on the run mission is such a mess why are the supply stashes invisible lol
Thank you all for your patience, will release an update soon to address stability and compatibility issues. Content wise it will be feature rich as always but missions are still on hold for the time being.
This mod is the best for me. I know they can improve it even more.
I am waiting for his update, thanks to the developer.
After following the instructions carefully and the possible compatibility fixes. I could not launch a skirmish game without ending back in the lobby.
The only Part of the instruction that that I've identified that I did not follow is that the gamemd.exe from EA is version 1.0.1.1 and the mod asks for version 1.0.0.1
I was able to obtain an old version of the gamemd.exe and used that instead of the latest one from EA. and now the mod works properly/
The link for the older gamemd.exe this Rb.gy
****BUT PLEASE DO NOT BLINDLY TRUST RANDOM EXE FILES on the net. SCAN IT WITH VIRUS TOTAL before using***!!!!!
edit* I found out if I update to the latest mod version, the game becomes very unstable =/ lol. Hopefully someday a proper update will come
thank you so much. I had the same issue. Your fix works. GG!
when new version?
How to do it for STEAM? Thank you!
