Hi,
As you should all know by now I am starting the addition of a 4th Faction, the Soviets. I have began doing little tests to see what Generals is capable of (Revised was a big test ) and things look as if they're gonna go well.
Here is what I got so far:

-----------------
Conscript - Basic Infantry, upgrade to genades and capture buildings.
Sniper - Weak infantry with long range, powerful rifle.
Missile Trooper - Missile trooper, upgrade to napalm missiles.
Ourumov - He is the Svoiet hero, armed with a powerful sub-machine gun he can make quick work of infantry, also he has a gas grenade that kills infantry/vehicle pilots. He can upgrade to get tranquiliser darts so he can capture infantry for a cash bounty.
Engineer - Capture buildings, heal vehicles.

Land
-----------------
Light Tank - Basic Tank.
Scout Buggy - Fast buggy, with machine gun.
Discharge Cannon - Long range cannon that creates a small chemical dischagre.
Heavy Tank - Giant tank with missile launchers, upgrade to napalm missiles.

Napalm Cannon - Rotating cannon that scatters napalm in a carpet bombing fashion.
AA Gun - Mobile Anti-air cannon - requires war factory.
Supply truck - Collects supplies for credits.
Dozer - Builds structures.

Air
-----------------
Berkut - Missile Fighter.
Hind - Gattling cannon, upgrade to napalm missiles and can transport 5 infantry.

Buildings
-----------------

Flame Turret - Basically a static defensive dragon tank.
Barracks - Builds infantry units.
War Factory - Builds ground units.
Labour Center - Slaves generate power here.
Tech Lab - Upgrades come from here, also has a gattling cannon for defensive purposes.
World Destroyer Center - Calls upon the mighty World Destroyer cannon.
Supply Center - Main cash income.
Airfield - Builds air units.
Ore Mine - Drills for ore, alternative cash income.

Upgrades
------------------
Radar - Gives the command center radar ability.
Capture Building - Conscripts can capture buildings.
Grenades - Conscripts can use grenades.
Napalm Missiles - Missiles splatter napalm on impact.
Afterburner - Berkut speed increase.
Tranquiliser Darts - Ourumov can use these on infantry to get a cash bounty.

NOTE: This may change as we begin to find out more about what Generals can do.

I also have some early tests from ingame as well:
The Conscript
Beginnings of a new Control Bar
And the new side as selectable

Tell me what you think

Looks decent though in my opinion you should take out the Sniper. There are too many infantry-based units and the Sniper isn't really Russia if you get my drift.

Lookin' good. If you need an extra coder or writer(background details, storyline, unit descriptions, etc), drop me a line at silenced-sonix@webmail.co.za I'd love to help.

[oldmfunk]

Wick, Russia live for snipers!
See the film Enemy at the Gates?
But ok, I'm open to suggestions what should replace the sniper?
And Silenced_Sonix if I ever need any coding help I'll give you a call

[Goketa]

dude do u want to work with me on TD
I am adding 6 sides
Great Britain
RSU (Republic of the Soviet Union)
North Korea
United Pacific Forces
The Warlords
and 1 other terrorist side but i aint got a name

[Silenced_Sonix]

Hey, I'd like to see that - some good one-on-one North Korea vs. South Korea, or perhaps a Vietnam mod? Nobody thought of something like that yet?

[Goketa]

hmmm maybe i can make SK a terrorist side

[Silenced_Sonix]

Shouldn't it be the other way round? I thought the N.Koreans were supposed to be the bad(commie) ones?

[anandus]

It looks very good, and well thought out.

Russia is a mix betweeen China and a bit of USA, with a dab of GLA.
The idea is nice.
Although I can't skin or model, I can code and write.
So I also say: If you need any help codeing, amil me or msn me at petit_remy@hotmail.com

You should replace the barkut with A su-25
