I really like it, looks good, got some steriotypical "in soviet union" style humour in there too, and gives a nice idea of what the faction is about.

Mentioned about the lack of the SU-85 in the other post, but I've just checked again and it seems to have appeared now, but further down the page. I'm sure you guys are on it anyway. So all good  :)

Cheers

It was really nice. I was surprised how good the 2D graphics looked. Props to the artists! I think the Soviets are balanced and tiered in interesting ways and they should be fun to play as. :D

Very Professional work people,

Quick Question,

so... Breakthrough Strategy, Tank Warfare, you have 4 ablilities rather then 3?

Personally if you had to get rid of one, the Hull Down for the IS-2 would be my choice ;)

The SU-85 is supposed to be in the tank hall. Our site moderator is not here right now, we're working on it.

Can translators have own flags near names in the Team section?
My will be Ukrainian ^_^

P.S. I remember the Red Alert 1: Stalin, Western "Russian" jokes. Oh, my childhood ...

I just remembered this question,

Since all ablities are cooldown instead of cost, whats Munitions good for?

Tell me the Ingenery can lay mines, right?

Probably upgrades will cost quite a bit of munitions.

Is there any other to be added units not in the Ultimate Guide? Great job on the way. Very well done artwork for everything!

Mines, PPSh, DP-28, flamers, global upgrades (some costs muni).

Okay, So soviet infantry can't recrew heavy weapons. But can the heavy weapons reinforce infantry?

We got a the ones we use ingame, but once we reach a point where we will start doing more balance they will likely change.

I noticed that the text colour changes to grey from HQ to Strelky.

Actually looks better than the black - softer on the eyes - (although titles should be black).

Will the Medic Truck pickup wounded men like the medic bunkers and give you a free squad or does it just heal friendly units?
Title: Re: Ultimate Guide
Post by: theafroninja on August 21, 2009, 10:52:36 PM
one point; when conscripts cost no pop cap and up to 4 players can be using russians at once, this may create some (a lot) of lag. and when they can have grenades and all have rifles they would have to become almost equal if not better than a volksgrenadier squad... please make them cost at least 2 pop...  :-\

Wow, the guide looks awesome.
One question, the Tank Riders doctrine ability, will that have animations, and can you see the Infantry sitting on the tanks?
Title: Re: Ultimate Guide
Post by: Ghost on August 26, 2009, 05:54:34 PM
will the guide also be available in other languages (german, spanish, ...)?

Question Regarding the no re crewing section of the guide. It says soviets would never pick up a German weapon. Does this include hand held weapons such as the MG42 and Panzershrek?
Title: Re: Ultimate Guide
Post by: WartyX on September 03, 2009, 09:14:49 AM
Deployable weapons are currently the only ones to be disabled. May be subject to change.

An abnormally large portion of the team are German, so we shouldn't have any problems with that. It is just when we get it translated.
Title: Re: Ultimate Guide
Post by: Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G. on September 03, 2009, 11:26:05 PM
Just an offer  ;)
Title: Re: Ultimate Guide
Post by: WartyX on September 03, 2009, 11:31:13 PM
I've just posted a thread in the private developer section to see if we have any takers for translation. I will get back to you if we have any translation vacancies.
