Story: (If I ever get to making a Campaign)
The Giant Ants were somehow able to survive their supposed genocide from Red Alert 1 and have resurfaced from their hiding to cause wreak vengeance upon the human race.. Meanwhile as the Allies and Soviets were struggling with the fight against Yuri. A Sudden new enemy has appeared into the battle. The Giant Ants. Now with Four Sides locked into an epic battle who will emerge victorious?

COLONY (The New Side)
The Colony is a New Side composed of the Giant Ants and their various mutations. The Colony specializes in constant unit rushing and harassment of the enemy by sending out more and more of their units. They do not rely on Power unlike the other conventional Sides but in exchange they have more expensive units & buildings.
PROS & CONS:
+ Bases do not rely on Power
+ All Units and Buildings are immune to Radiation,Regenerate and are very durable
- All Buildings and Units are more expensive
- Cannot capture or use Tech Buildings
COLONY STRUCTURES:
Unlike conventional Armies. The Giant Ants do not use Power, instead they are able to increase their Monetary Income from their "Power Plants" instead. Colony Buildings cannot be captured by Enemy Engineers. (Being too unnatural to properly capture) Their Engineer Equivalent however can still repair buildings. The only Structure exempted from this is their equivalent of a Tech Lab which can still be infiltrated by enemy agents.

Colony Mound - [3000 - 4x4] – Base Expansion Facility
Every Ant Colony needs to start somewhere. This is where they all come from. From this mound. All buildings are planned for construction. So like the other ConYards. This is a prime target.
Ore Mound - [2000 - 2x3] – Ore Processing Facility
Much like the other Ore Refineries. The Ore Mound serves the same purpose as a drop-off point for Ore Collected and to be processed into nutrients to grow the colony swarm.
*Requires Bio Pillar
Passive Ability: Generates 600 Credits per minute.
Bio Pillar - [800 - 2x2] - Power Plant/Support Building
Instead of providing Power to the base like the other 3 Sides the Colony's version instead generates funds to further their war effort. These Buildings function similarly to Oil Derricks albeit watered down, slowly supplying a small amount of credits to the Colony Commander.
*Requires Colony Mound
Passive Ability:Produces 300 Credits per minute.
Hive Cluster - [1200 Credits - 2x2] - Radar Access/Aircraft Facility
The Hive Cluster provides Radar Capability to the Colony. Aside from this, The Colony can use their natural senses to reveal the terrain every few minutes. Aside from this, the Hive Cluster can send out a signal upon visible structures/targets a pheromone which alerts a Trio of Swarm Ants.
*Requires Outpost Hole
Ability - Hive Mind - Every 3 Minutes - For 10 Seconds, you will gain Full View of the Map.
![](http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/JeremiahLoh/Red%20Alert%202%20%20YR%20TRFRA%20Mod%20Album/Core_Mound.png)
Core Mound - [1800 - 2x3] - Advanced Unit Information Facility
The Core Mound provides to the Colony the ability to train further and stronger Units to be used for combat. Much like the other Battle Labs, the Core Mound also provides some Stolen Tech. Once the Colony Mound is created, Giant Ants created from the Assault Hole are now created more cheaply by 25% due to the streamlining of the genetic code.
- Allows production of:
Tesla Ants
Crusher Ants
Rad Ants
Psychic Ants
Passive Ability: All Units created from the Assault Hole will be created 25% cheaper.

*Immune to Mind Control
*Requires Battle Lab
Blaster Disk - [900] - Aircraft
The Blaster Disk is Yuri's answer to a Jet Unit. Much to Yuri's liking for Old Sci-Fi Movies the Blaster Disk is also based on the UFO. Owing to It's lighter and smaller frame, The Blaster Disk has faster movement and allows it to fly more quickly letting it to travel faster than conventional aircraft's. However due to its miniaturization The Blaster Disk has only enough power to send out a single blast of energy and must return to the Disk Pad to Recharge the Cannon.
*Requires Disk Pad
Yuri Disk Pad - [1200 - 2x3] - Aircraft Building/Maintenance
Even Yuri has decided to assimilate a True Aerial Unit into his Army. This building lets Yuri build his own brand of Aircraft join in the fight.

Chrono Ant - [1200] - Assault Unit - "Vehicle"
A Giant Ant implanted with Chrono Technology by Allied Scientists. The Chrono Ant attacks much in the same manner as any Warrior Ant. But instead of crawling like other ants this Giant Ant can simply shift in time. Should a Changeling Ant infiltrate an Allied Battle Lab this unis is available for their use.
*Gained by sending a Changeling Ant to an enemy Allied Battle Lab
Hive Ant - [2000] - Assault Unit - "Vehicle"
Another breed of the monstrous Giant Ant. Owing to their Gigantic Size, The Hive Ant is able to crush most Vehicles, except for the gigantic ones like the infamous Battle Fortress,Apocalypse Tank & the Master Mind. Another feature this Giant Ant possesses is the ability to send out Groups of Swarm Ants to attack for it. Due to this symbiotic relationship with Swarm Ants it has lost the ability to attack itself and instead commands these specific Ants to do his bidding.
*Gained by sending a Changeling Ant to an enemy Colony Core Mound
Allied Units
Chrono Commando
*Gained by sending a Spy to an enemy Allied Battle Lab
Tesla Commando - [1500] - Assault Unit - Infantry
The Tesla Commando is the birth of merging Soviet Tesla Weaponry and elite commando training by the Allies. The Tesla Commando is armed with a Tesla Cannon, just shy of the Tesla Tank along with some C4 Charges to take out buildings. Due to their heavier Armor, they cannot be crushed by Tanks and lose the ability to swim.
*Gained by Sending a Spy to an enemy Soviet Battle Lab
Psi Commando
*Gained by sending a Spy to an enemy Yuri Battle Lab

Tesla Vanguard - [1200] - Support Unit - Infantry
Only by reverse-engineering Soviet Tesla Technology from defected Soviet Commanders are these new infantry available.The Tesla Vanguard are slow moving infantry who wield powerful Cannons which fire devastating Tesla Shells. The sheer weight of the ammunition and the gun slows them down and takes time to load the weapon but results have shown they are devastating against grouped units and structures.
*Gained by sending a Spy to an enemy Soviet Battle Lab.
Magnet Vanguard - [1200] - Support Unit - Infantry
The Magnet Vanguard are an elite group of Heavy Assault Troopers. Available only to Soviet Commanders who have stolen Yuri's Magnetic Technology through their Agents. Magnet Vanguard are armed with the same powerful magnetic beam by Yuri's Magnetrons.
*Gained by sending a Spy to an enemy Yuri Battle Lab.
Colossus Ant - [2000] - Assault Unit - "Vehicle"
Superior Soviet research has yielded them this giant Ant. The Colossus Ant is what some may say a successor to the Volkov Program. The Colossus Ant is fitted out with cybernetic inhibitors to keep it in from going rogue against Soviet Commanders. Along with this the cybernetics that also keep it in place also enhance the Ant's powers. The Colossus Ant is armed with the same weapons Apocalypse Tanks wield.
*Gained by sending a Spy to an enemy Colony Core Mound
Yuri Units
Chrono Corp - [1200] - Support Unit - Infantry
After stealing Allied Technology, namely the Chrono Pack Tech. Yuri is able to manufacture them to his Psi Corp Troopers.Select Psi-Corps are often drafted by Yuri's Commanders who have obtained this Stolen Tech.

Tesla Corp - [1200] - Assault Unit - Infantry
These special units serve Yuri's Army as assault units instead of providing Mind Control. Tesla Corps are able to project lightning bolts from their fingers of which they can send it to kill enemies. By equipping Tesla Technology hidden in their Robes they are able to channel Tesla Bolts that rival Tesla Tanks. Due to the heaviness of the Tesla Packs and their lack of physical strength. Tesla Corps do not wear armor. But however have great mobility thanks to their levitating powers.
*Gained by sending a Infiltrator to an enemy Soviet Battle Lab.
Psi Prodigy - [1500] - Support Unit - Infantry
The Psychic Corp has long always been Yuri's greatest asset in his Army. Psi Prodigy's are select Troopers who show promising talent and are given permission to further enhance their psychic abilities with Psychic Technology and further training. Unlike Psi Corp Troopers, Prodigy's can control up to 3 Units and have superior Range. However they are implanted with psychic inhibitors to keep their psychic powers at bay from trying to mind control too much or being able to mind control buildings much like Yuri.
*Gained by sending a Infiltrator to an enemy Yuri Battle Lab.
Dominator Ant - [1500] - Suicide Unit - "Vehicle"
By miniaturizing the Psychic Dominator Device into a more mobile version. Yuri can attach it to his captured Giant Ants. Much like the Psychic Dominator this contraption attached to the Giant Ant allows Yuri to fully control those within the Blast Radius and destroying any buildings within it. Should the Giant Ant be killed the Mobile Psychic Dominator will still detonate.
*Gained by sending a Infiltrator to an enemy Colony Core Mound
