Red Alert 95 Chinese version campaign guide
Faction design and unit features
Allied Forces: Focusing on technology and rapid response, representative units include light tanks (fast but thinly armored), cruisers (long-range fire support), and Longbow Apache helicopters (air strikes). Featured buildings such as the Rift Generator can hide the base, and the Chrono Teleporter can teleport units.
Soviet Union: Good at heavy armor and fire suppression. Its iconic units include the Rhino tank (balanced attributes), the Apocalypse tank (double barrels and thick armor), and the V2 rocket launcher (long-range strike). Unique technologies such as the Iron Curtain device can temporarily render units invincible.
Unit coordination: Players need to flexibly use unit skills in combination with the terrain and enemy lineup. For example, the Allies use rockets to restrain the Soviet armored forces, and the Soviet Union uses anti-aircraft infantry to deal with the Allied air force.
Resource Management and Base Construction
Resource collection: Collect ore and oil through mine carts and convert them into construction and production funds.
Base expansion: Build power plants to provide electricity, gradually unlock barracks, tank factories, docks and other facilities to expand military capabilities.
Technology research and development: Upgrade the technology center to unlock advanced units (such as cruisers, dreadnought-class battleships) and special abilities (such as Allied satellite reconnaissance, Soviet nuclear bomb strikes).
Story mode and mission design
Alternate historical plot: The game is based on a fictional Cold War background. In 1946, in order to prevent World War II, Einstein used a time machine to kill Hitler, but it led to the expansion of Soviet power and triggered a more brutal "Third World War."
Double ending setting:
The ending of the Soviet army: leading to the plot of the main story of "Command and Conquer".
Allied Ending: Leading to the plot of "Red Alert 2".
Mission challenges: including rescuing Einstein, destroying bridges, sneaking into technology centers and other diverse tasks, which need to be completed using strategies and operations. For example, in the "Saving Einstein" mission, players need to use Tanya to blow up the enemy's electro-optical tower and escort the scientists to evacuate.
