OpenRA mod that tell the storyline between 1936 to Red Alert 1.

Red Alert .5

Red Alert .5 is an OpenRA mod aiming to have a campaign acting around 1936 to start of Red Alert 1 (early 50s) and show what happened during this time in Red Alert universe.

Mod contains 6 factions with total 29 subfactions, but with minimal faction differences like in Dune 2000. Current plan is to give each faction 3 and each subfaction an additional unit per subfaction.

Mod is currently in pretty early stage, all (sub)faction specialities are now in but no missions are done yet. You can find a spreadsheet containing plans at here.

red-alert-.5's Issues

I made the account just to tell you about an issue.

The OpenRA mod template requires python.
Unable to continue without engine files
make: *** [Makefile:106: engine-dependencies] Error 1
I am using Lubuntu 22.04
I found out that Python2 does not work and I had to use python-is-python3.
