Red Alert 4

Yeah. Desovietization does seem to be the most likely outcome. After all, the real Allies hit Germany pretty hard with Denazification. The only thing I can figure is that perhaps since Russia is so large, there weren't enough Allied troops to properly occupy/rebuild Russia, so instead of dismantling it like they should have, they appointed the "puppet" Romanov in hopes of streamlining the process and avoiding chaos. Perhaps there was an Iraq-style insurgency combined with an anti-war movement/war weariness that seems to afflict the Western Democracies.

And maybe Yuri had something to do with it. Who knows?

[Borreh]

Hmm, this alien idea is not bad..

If Yuri would return with the aliens.

Otherwise I preffer an occult wacky-nazi force from a different timline.

On a side note, this alien idea is not crazy, it's pretty much in the vein of the whole series. RA2 had a mission on the moon, after all.

BTW, what if, after a few timeline alterations, the timeline gets angry and attacks humanity itself?..

(i put this in another thread yesterday but its more appropriate in this thread so im transferring it)



perhaps the campaign could be influenced where you have the allies vs soviets and another faction.

but many other world nations are "up for grabs as potential allies to your faction" depending on the circumstances you could help them out in missions to gain their support, bribe them or conquer them. each country can give you bounses to
infantry
aircraft
navy
armour
speed bonus
range bonus
spesific units to build
special structures
special support abilites
etc etc

if say a country gives you a new tank it would get a paintjob to suit your faction


(im stealing the idea from emperor battle for dune with territories and sub houses and developing it further)

it would bring back the tactical map but where you attack matters to your army more(tho if you loose a country and suddenly you cant build a certain tank might not make sense but its a game so meh)



it means your attack strategy matters to what you gain sooner and removing your enemies abilities

How about such scenario:
After the uprising Allies are able to restore peace in the world. Attempts of Soviet and Empire's uprising have perished, and Allies keep running the world peacefully. All 3 sides of the conflict dedicate themselves to research and development of new weapons. Allies come up first with a new weapon, able to freeze time on a specific target(s) (like the Sigma Harmonizer) and even destroy things using power of time continuum. They use the weapon to manage any resistance caused by Soviets and Empire of Rising Sun. Meanwhile Soviets create two top secret labs on both poles, secretly kept from Allies and build their army with new innovations. Empire does the same, but keep their base under ocean. Soviets, after rampaging through Empire stole a few samples of their Nanotechnology and came up with a material that only melts in extreme temperatures; about 2 million degrees Celsius. The new Dictator of USSR creates an awful plan to destroy the technology labs in america where the New weapon is kept using the new invention. He orders to build a lot of small robots/drones that would be able to swim through Earth's Mantle, and equipped with strong bombs, would blow up the weapon, laboratory and most of America from under the Crust. This will outbreak into a war, and as soon as USSR and Allies would fight Empire would fit itself into the conflict again.

All the opinions of another break in time continuum would be just boring, because it would repeat once again. We need something new and crazy, so it would be some surprise really.

what about this, the allies have use the chronosphere since ra1 so what about time getting mixed up, this could mean it can be brought out fast because you can use units from ra1, 2 and 3 with new camo's and use old maps as well as some new ones

[teslamandan]

could have time travelling aliens that go back and clone Yuri and hide him away, or after yuris army fell a fragment survived and re-re captures the allied time machine (happening after the allied canpain) and brings him into the future

[Oogruk]

That's actually a solid idea with a lot of potential. I think it's a good chance to bring back some of the wacky 1950's sci-fi influences we saw in Red Alert 1.

What if you set the game directly after a Soviet victory in Red Alert 2. With the Allies more or less defeated, the Reds decide they aren't satisfied with Earth and embark on a mission to spread Communism across the entire Solar System. They're met with heavy resistance on Mars (or maybe Venus, Titan, Europa or another suitable location). In retaliation, the Greys land on Earth and begin military operations against the Soviets. In the chaos, the Allies see an opportunity to restore themselves to their former glory and take it.

[jake72002]

i like your idea. reminds me of universe at war.

[RAF883]

I think the devs should leave RA3/Uprisings universe alone for at least a few more years.
I definitely believe the Soviet ending of YR should be explored although not from the space side. The Allies should be reduced in numbers but still have plenty of tech at their disposal & support from nations that the USSR has conquered recently. The sub-faction idea should be explored further, rather than having just one unique unit per faction. I can't really think of anymore third factions that could work in the RA universe now.

the better plot will be: The present germany (part of allies) discoverd documents and articles regarding the original timeline (the real world where there is Nazi empire); it came into their hands because Albert Einstein (who was possessing the documents) originally planned to correct his mistakes by telling the allied commanders the real "reality" and stopping himself (his past self) from killing Adolf Hitler because he realized that the soviet threat is far greater than world war 2, and messing with time has greater consequences, however unluckily Anataloy Cherdenko killed/erased him before he executes the plan but the documents still survived due to that they were not on his hands at the minute when he was "killed/erased"; the present Germany after discovering the real "reality" thus resented and felt that they could have been a super power on their own (like the empire of the rising sun) thus they secretly sabotaged their allied commrades and stole & coppied various thecnologies from the future tech, but at the same time pointing their hands at Soviets (telling the other allied nations that it was the soviets who did it) thus reserving all the allied weapons and thechnologies for themselves..... and soon they became the unopposed leaders of the european union. (unknown to other members of EU it was all germany's plot). the USA and other non-EU allied members however eventually discovered germany's treachery and the "real reality", thus forcing them to develop their own weaponry and waging war on Germany. thus the "new allies" (without EU) persuaded the Soviet Union (who is now not under a crazy ******* stupid dictator!) to join them and "correct everything" (afterall the USA and soviets became the only two super powers after WW2!) germany (now called the third reich or fourth reich) on the other hand persuded the empire of the rising sun to stop the allies and soviets ( since they were the original allies in reality) thus to maintain their respective empires. (and japan will realize they will not rise to power if they do not help germany becuase of the hiroshima and nagasaki bombing in the original "reality"); making the red alert 4 a 2 vs 2 (US led allies & soviets vs the third reich & empire of the rising sun) and a fun,crazy, and exciting race through time .
