        Possibly Red Alert? A popular branch of the CoC games.

          I think you meant “CaC” rather than CoC, which could be a very, very different game altogether in certain, ahem, furrier circles

            Ha! I didn’t even realize that. It’s been decades since I’ve played that but I do play Clash of Clans as well as work with Certificates of Conformance daily. CoC just looked so normal.

        Custom maps abound! Combined arms is great too.

      OpenRA is a game engine and the games built on it are mostly fan C&C like games that are skinned to look like the early actual C&C games. The engine can’t even play the original missions and mp maps.

        Indeed, but someone has recreated the original Red Alert and that’s really all I need.

          You mean Vanilla Conquer which is a proper cross platform source port?

      Is better than Red Alert? But is it better than Renegade?

      I don’t like a few of the changes they make to gameplay. In particular, I don’t like being able to build more than one structure at a time. I know RA2 started it, but I didn’t like it in RA2, either. Being able to build a power-hungry defensive structure and the power plant to run it at the same time takes out some of the strategy, in my opinion.

        Fair enough, but I believe there may be a toggle for that.
