I am currently addicted to the AoE redo and it’s great.

Original Tiberium Sun is free to download somewhere but I really want Red Alert 2 and Generals. Those are the proper nostalgic ones for me

Have they fixed the AI so it no longer sees a single row of sandbags as an infinitely high, not-shoot-through-able, impassable wall? hehe
Why improve on perfection smile
Or how it would always attack the northernmost target, so you could leave one poor sod above your base and be immune from airstrikes.

Agree with the other guys, compared to AoE 2 DE it feels like a nostalgia based cash grab. That said I will still pick it up when its on sale for £8 or so.

Hope this comes to Mac soon, I had Generals but a recent OS update has rendered it unsupported!

AoE Redo?

Age of Empires?

OOft, just seen this, AND found its on Game pass for PC, there is so much stuff i recently got in a steam sale on Game pass now wo could have saved money.

Should really look at Game Pass more often...though with 8 month old, i am hardly playing just now lol, so 20 year old games that i can save whenever i like is the way just now smile

This site/community has free downloads of Tiberian Sun/Command and Conquer/Red Alert/Dune etc.

From their website;

What is CnCNet?
CnCNet was first born in 2009. We quickly became popular through our early versions of CnCNet (version 1-4), starting with the original Command & Conquer we eventually expanded into of Red Alert, eventually expanding to Tiberian Sun, and more recently Yuri's Revenge.

' At CnCNet, we collectively share one goal, re-establishing C&C Online to the best of our ability. We also strive on the simplicity of how easy CnCNet is to use.

We make sure you can still play your childhood games today, whether it's with the latest operating system like Windows 10, or even running on Windows XP, we cover the broad spectrum of O/S. We also actively eradicate those pesky cheats for online play, be it old and new.

So that's pretty much it. Here we are rocking in 2017 and smashing records with our most recent achievement of 800+ simultaneous players online.'

I don't play online and have only tried the Tiberian Sun/Tiberian Sun Firestorm - they it work for me on windows 8.1 and games can be saved.

Huge C&C fan, countless hours in all versions, mostly RA2 and zero hour/generals (fantastic mods). Tried this new one instantly, and refunded it. Hasn't aged well even with the better graphics - poor controls/routing, awkward building placement, just not fun which is a shame.

I really must try and get the mods working with win10 for generals - there was even a star wars mod.

There’s command and conquer rivals but it’s not quite the same;

The nearest I’ve seen is this

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/redsun-rts/id1069719...

Plus there’s another form the same developer which is also good.

There have been a few ports over the years OpenRA is one there used to be another as well that I can't remember/find https://www.openra.net/about/


ETA this probably isnt the one being referenced but worth knowing about all the same. Also runs on MacOS and Linux

This brings back memories of C&C Renegade, the story was ok but the online multiplayer was bloody amazing. I believe there is still quite an active community playing.

On what?

I can’t a ‘proper’ version of RA2 or Generals that works on Win10. I have discs for both and tried recently, it was a no go.
