It was supposed to be easy for the Soviet Union leaders. By entering the Time Machine and eliminating Albert Einstein, they expected to just gain the upper hand over the Allied forces. It worked, but there were also consequences. Their actions have spawned the threat coming from the East, the Empire of the Rising Sun. Or so they've thought.... As the three greatest powers fight the greatest World War in history, a new power emerges from the South. Forged from the abuses of fanatical Allied anti-communism that caused the most difficult period in their region, they come not from land, nor air, nor seas. They come from space. The Forth, the secret brazilian army, emerges from the moon and starts it's path towards the same goal all other factions vie for: Complete global domination. World War III was ugly. And it's gonna get worse.

This is the premise for Red Alert 3: Southern Rising. Besides adding this new and different faction, which has emerged from the cold of space and the warm rage of brazilian hearts, with units, weapons and tactics introducing stealth art, alien saucers, hover tanks, cybernetic apes and legions of insane, battle-hungry video-game addicted nerds, 3 new units and 1 new superweapon for each original faction are being added.

And that's not all we have in mind. A new terrain tileset are under plan to introduce you right into the Forth's main yard, Nova Luna, as well as we'll be adding three more AI's to complement the aggressive AVGN manners of war and improve the current ones for a more challenging gameplay experience.

In my opinion, this will be great, a Brazil faction (my country) plus new possibilities of playing

But at same time, i worried about the tematic of this fourth faction... Brazil is not that kind of "Space" or "High technology from the space" even if its Red Alert 3. In my opinion it would be better if it was a faction like the others but with brazilian things

Well I personally dislike mods that add a specific country that seems random. I much prefer a fictional faction. Models are looking good though.

I'm probably among the nerds.

[Ion Cannon!]

From space?? Oh dear...

[R3ven]

i just saw that mod a few days ago. it sounds....interesting i will have to try it out once it comes out.the singapore faction sounds like its gonna be more fun to play cuz brazil building stuff on the moon and teleporting a drop-pod like thing that can move and then deploy sounds way too high tech(isn't that supposed to be the allies job to be high tech?)

Hey, atleast it's a Original Idea.

I pretty much get bored of all this " Typicall often reused Faction starts Worldwar, the world shall beware " stuff.

[Balizk]

In my opinion it should be like... :

Jaguar, the jungle jaguar with run hability. (it would be like the dogs/bears)

Camouflage Fighter, normal soldier, but stealth.

Missile Beserker, a crazy man with a machine gun that shot missiles.

Hero (a prety lady) that can charm units.

Tatu (dont know the name in English lol) a massive armor tank that can serv as a bunker.

Tucano, a simple and old plane with a new design to carry a LOT of small missiles, like a rain...


But... i can't mod and everyone do what they want

[Overdose]

Tatu = Armadillo

Nice to see a "brazuca" over here!

We're working hard, but this mod isn't just about Brazil, it features Singapore as well. Our objective is to create a fun\high quality mod, featuring some forgotten countrys on game industry, featuring a big involving story, wrote by the mod leader Medici. xD

We're patriotics above all xD.

Medici, the leader is doingn great models, wich only will be featured on custences(yeah we will work on campaing) or unit icon, because of the EXTREME high poly

Any questions i will free answer here xD.
We're recruiting s well, if there's someone interested, PM me.

Thanks,

i think the forth are a bit unrealistic tbh.and how did you guys think up the crazy story for them.i mean they came from the moon is a bit ehm... outlandish so to speak, but i have to say it is very original

Isn't the RA3 story fictional\unrealistic? We're justing adding more "crazy" content.

@Overdose: Seria interessante (ÓTIMO ) ...vou te contactar por PM. xD

[WNxMastrefubu]

i still dont understand how they got to space in the 1st place...regardless, could be good

[Stinger]

I find the premise bizarre to say the least.

Truthfully I would have been impressed if you had textures to show. Models by themselves don't make a mod.

A South American guerilla faction would be far more interesting than Brazilian aliens, IMO.

[Slye_Fox]

agreed

Mod History said:

In the subsequent war against the Red Menace, the Allied space programs, like the under-developed nations, were abandoned in favor of the war effort. With the exception of the Krasna-45 facility, the Soviet Union did not have much use for the space shuttles which lied in orbit. In many aspects, the space program was a thing of the past, something to leave behind to rot. President Rodrigues thought otherwise.

Infiltrating the former NASA facilities in Houston disguised as tourists, brazilian spies hacked through the Allied sloppy security systems and uploaded gigantic loads of data to several computers stored in São Paulo's underground. This allowed them to explore the space technology and establish a proper fleet of spaceships to colonize the darkest side of the Moon, establishing their greatest military base of operations, called Nova Luna, using the remaining resources from the entire SAC as well as borrowed resources from the Allies, done years before Rodrigues' ascension to power. Nova Luna, when first established, became a mining site, but it ultimately transformed to a primary staging ground with the formation of their most powerful army: The Forth.

The establishment of Nova Luna raised hope for the population, as thousands of new jobs opened to effectively occupy and develop the brazilian space colony. No longer the brazilians needed to import any materials or food from the Allied forces, as Nova Luna provided the materials. Despite the expenses, Nova Luna provided the key for the large-scaled development in all of Brazil, specially São Paulo, which became the new brazilian capital.

ALL RIGHT ALL 'O YA LADS, LISTEN UP!!!

Name's Medici, leader and 3d artist for the mod. Just heard that Kenobi put in news frequently around here. Can't say much about propaganda, but I can say hell a lot we're making a shitload o' progress around here. You better get yourselves ready for a massive update that'll be coming tomorrow on ModDB. And not just images, we got a music on the run and some news as well!!!

This is it, now. Action Time.

[Shirou]

Will that include textures for some of your models?

I have seen so many mods who even release models in game without texturing them. It is hard to find good texture-artists but I hope you as a leader are able to do that as well, because then you will have a solid base for this ambitious mod.

And I would like to point out that although the models are good, some of them like the Railgun Hover tank contain a lot of polygons. Should be able to do with a little less and use bump mapping and texturing for the extra detailed look.
