Horseback Riding & Conquering: A new life for warbands - Command & Conquer's Red Alert style RTS mod
Since the release of Mounts & Warbands in 2008, the game has captivated countless players with its unique combat mechanics and open-world sandbox gameplay. However, over time, even the most loyal fans may get a little tired of the game. Luckily, modders have been hard at work to breathe new life into the game. And in 2020, a mod called "Command & Conquer: Red Alert Style RTS" was born, which not only managed to bring "Horse Riding & **" into new territory, but also brought the game back to life.
This mod is actually a sub-mod that was created based on the Warcraft mod for Mounts & Warriors. It combines elements of two classic RTS games, "Command & Conquer" and "Red Alert", to bring a new gaming experience to "Ride & **". In this mod, players no longer just control one character in battle, but can use the mouse to select multiple units and direct them to move and attack, just like in traditional RTS games.
This shift is undoubtedly bold for the "Riding & **" series. While the original game emphasized the use of individual skills and tactics, in this mod, players need to think more about overall strategy and resource management. This change not only adds a new challenge to the game, but also attracts many players who were originally interested in RTS games.
In addition to the changes in controls, this mod also introduces a variety of new unit types. In the original game, the player mainly played as a medieval warrior or knight, while in this mod, the player can command a variety of units such as archers, infantry, cavalry, and even siege engines. Each unit has its own unique abilities and weaknesses, and players will need to flexibly adjust their troop configuration according to the situation on the battlefield.
In addition, this mod also brings comprehensive improvements to the game's interface and UI. The new interface provides a clearer and more intuitive display of battlefield information and unit status, allowing players to make decisions faster. At the same time, the mod also adds multiplayer support, allowing players** to cooperate or play against others. This not only increases the playability of the game but also facilitates communication and interaction between players.
However, making such a complex mod is not easy. Developers need to spend a lot of time and effort researching and tweaking the game mechanics to ensure that the new elements will blend well with the original game. At the same time, they also need to constantly update and maintain mods to deal with compatibility issues caused by game updates. Still, these developers persevered and brought this amazing mod to the Horse Riding & ** community.
Overall, the Command & Conquer: Red Alert Style RTS mod brings a new life and future to Mounts & **: Warband. Not only does it expand the gameplay and content of the game, but it also attracts more different types of players to join this vibrant and creative community. As time goes on, it's reasonable to believe that the Horse Riding & ** series will continue to shine even more glamorously thanks to the efforts of modders.
