I'd swear the rules for the crates are bigger then RA2's rules, ahh well it's definatly easy even I'd be able to make something outa this lot, just need the graphics to use which look a lot more complex then RA2 voxels. Question what does generals use for units?

Good question. :|

FactionUnit.ini and FactionBuilding.ini it seems. You then have CivillianBuilding.ini and CivillianUnit.ini, which are for units and buildings not tied to a specific faction. Probably the "Neutral House". "House" seems to have been replaced by "Faction", and looking at the ini files, it seems the units and buildings have not changed much, but the sound and graphics / rendering system has changed drastically. For instance, the sound system now works on current popular codecs like MP3 and also supports WAV, making it easy for the coder to change sound objects. The pariticle system in this release for instance, is some 120 pages long, even longer than RulesMD.ini, and has its own dedicated file.

it's pretty obvious those are not voxels....

Can someone tell me how exactly does the new resource system work? I know that you have to collect "crates" from around the map, but where do these crates come from? Are they regenerating?

u capture suply depot type thing, and they provide u with money like tech oil derriks do, they also have the resources transported to your base like harvesters. america use helicopters, gla use miners and i forgot wot china use, i think its a vehicle, also each of the 3 sides get smaller recources by 1 of 3 ways, each specific to the army. china hacks bank accounts, usa get recourses dropped in by a plane and gla sell stuff on the black market
