Command & Conquer - Combined Arms game

What is Combined Arms?

It’s a completely free Command & Conquer game built on the OpenRA engine.

What started out as a simple fusion of the Westwood original Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert games, the project evolved by incorporating a plethora of new units, gameplay mechanics, and additional features.

The game includes five main factions:

Allies
Soviets
GDI
Nod
Scrin

Each of which, having four unique sub-factions with their own units, powers and upgrades.

Drawing from the extensive C&C franchise, the game incorporates units, structures, powers, and upgrades recreated in the Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert art style.

A comprehensive campaign, currently encompassing 34 missions, unfolds a narrative detailing the interwoven universes and timelines.

The experience extends further with Skirmish AI difficulties ranging from Easy to Brutal, providing a challenge even for highly skilled players.

Over 450 maps are included, including many competitive maps used in the base RA mod of OpenRA.

Balancing for competitive play has been a major focus. We host 1v1 ladder servers linked to player rankings and statistics, and hope to build a competitive community moving forward.

Tested and working in FP95:

Using Fatdog, I couldn't get this to work at first. The downloaded in the AppImage wouldn't connect to the server to download the required game files.

I had to figure out an alternate method, which is as follows:

Download required files from https://openra.ppmsite.com/

The files are

ra-base.zip

ra-aftermath.zip

ra-cncdesert.zip

Go to ~/.config/openra and create the directory "Content" and then "ca"

Extract ra-base.zip to the content directory
Then extract ra-cncdesert.zip to subdirectory "cnc"
Then extract ra-aftermath.zip to subdirectory "expand"

And then it seems to run

I have the audio and video if you need it, PM if required.

@Jasper politely can you just F! off with these C&C links. I've already had my bed time slip back an average of 2 hours every night playing Combined Arms, and now you're gonna make me stay up later with all this news. I do not have the self control to not play until the stupid hours of the morning on a work night.
Thank you
