mlieThe Red Alert 2 Mod brings Command & Conquer–inspired factions, units, buildings, defenses, and event music into RimWorld, adding large-scale enemy raids, late-game super-units, and tech progression themed around Soviet, Allied, and Yuri forces. This re-release uses Asset Bundles to keep file size down and adds support for Trait Value.
