Allied AI players know full well to disguise a Spy as an infantry unit of the opposing faction, then send him to infiltrate.
A medium or higher AI opponent will build lots of anti-air units to counter those units (Gatling Tanks, IFVs, or Flak Tracks). Ditto if you build Flying Discs (as Yuri) or Kirovs (as the Soviets).
If you go against an AI opponent (Allied or Soviet) of medium or higher difficulty in skirmish mode, it will train Attack Dogs to counter any Spy attacks you might attempt. This is very handy for positioning base defenses more efficently and effectively (especially the Allied Prism Towers so they can use their coordinated prism beam attack). Anti-Frustration Feature: In Yuri's Revenge, placing a base defense structure will now display a semi-transparent visual circle that shows the structure's attack range. Anonymous Ringer: The player character in the Allied campaign is invited to a video conference with the "European Council" after the Chicago mission, with participants being Expies of Margaret Thatcher, Charles de Gaulle and a generic German chancellor. And I Must Scream: Yuri's fate in the Allied ending of Yuri's Revenge, where he is captured, strapped down to what amounts to a metallic coffin, with something like a dentist's lamp right over his head, and kept there for a life sentence, all to prevent him from using his psychic powers. In the intro cutscene of Yuri's Revenge, though, the desperate Dugan points out to Yuri that it in fact was the United States who won the war, even if he doesn't specify who all else won it with them.ĭugan: You can't threaten us! We're the most powerful nation on Earth! We did win the war, you know! The French President appears to be stereotypically uppity at first, though the actual fact of the matter is they want to push back against the Soviets just as much as America - they simply can't unless someone takes care of several nuclear missiles in Poland pointed right at them to intimidate them out of the war, with the French President even reminding the USA that they're not indifferent to their plight. The USA also has to set up a Government in Exile in Canada until Washington DC is retaken. America Saves the Day: Inverted, as getting the European Allies to enter the war against the Soviets is of prime importance to the United States. Amazon Brigade: The Viruses, a group of all-female mercenaries from Yuri's Revenge that serve Yuri as support snipers. As it stands, Red Alert 2 and 3 essentially function as standalone stories with virtually all references to the Tiberium saga gone. Alternate Continuity: While Red Alert 1 was originally meant to lead into Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert 2 and its follow-ups take place in a different timeline (or rather timeline s), diverging at an unknown point after the previous game (this divergence was to be explained in the initial version of Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars, but it was scrapped). French Representative: Do not think us indifferent to your situation, Mr.
