DOCUMENTATION
(FULLY UPDATED)

Initial plot of the mod version 1.0 - 1.5

The name for the mod comes from one particular reason - functionalities of the Spy unit in the
game are so much restricted. In the real world when Spy is infiltrated somewhere he will steal plans,
maps, projects, ideas and other interesting materials from that place. In the game infiltrated spy will
give the player just Chrono Ivan, Chrono Commando or PSI Commando. This is so unrealistic.

Current plot of the mod version 2.0 – 2.3

The following takes please after
events of RA2YR IT v1.5 and before RA3:

Japanese almost completely destroyed by the Soviets in events of RA2 and YR, somehow
manage to preserve their space program untouched. They sent a probe with a rover from their secret
space mission in exploration mission at two locations, primary at location of landing side of Yuri's
Rocket, and secondary at ruins of Yuri's Command Center in his Luna base. There have been found
documents that ware pointing to a secret location of some sort of lab complex on Earth for some
Psychic-related project codenamed "Omega" that involves subject with aggressive psychic capabilities
different than Yuri's. The subject was Japanese girl which Yuri gave her a name by himself: Yuriko
(officially as: Yuriko Matsui). Most of the people that know about this founding and depending of fact
that "-ko" in Japanese often means "daughter", believe in that, that Yuri is at least genetic ancestor of
the girl or in simple words they believing that he is the actual father of Yuriko. Yuri has died in events of
RA2IT v1.5, and his DNA material was destroyed from safety reasons by Japan.
GLOBAL NEWS:
Countries:
1. Cuba is replaced by China.
2. Libya is replaced by Iran.
3. Iraq is replaced by Turkey.

4. North Korea is added as fully new country.

5. Yuri side is replaced with Japan.

Yuri is officially dead, but his mind control and genetic technology are preserved.
Master mind tank can be build, and when Yuriko is in IFV can capture units and buildings.

Depending on mod v2.0 story, Yuri died in events of RA2:IT v1.0-1.5, and his DNA material was
destroyed from safety reasons by Japan, so he or any of his derivatives cannot be made anymore, that
means that:
- Yuri,
- Yuri Clone,
- Yuri Prime,
- Yuri Psi-Troop / Commando,
are not available anymore for any side. However Mastermind tank and all other Psychic structures as
Psychic Tower, Psychic Beacon, Psychic Sensor feature are still here, and act as before, also when Yuriko
is in IFV can capture units and even buildings as Yuri (Prime) does.

6. [v2.1] - All tracks (songs) from RA2 and YR are playable.

7. RA2:IT doesn't include campaign mode. In according with that the button 'New Campaign' from 'Main
Menu' -> 'Single Player' is disabled.
More of the campaigns are broken, they are simply not compatible with the mod.

8. [v2.3] NEW Interface features:

1. TogglePower OFF / ON with the "O" key from the keyboard. (AI / Computer player use this);
2. Save screenshoot with "Shift+S".

- [v2.1] - If you capture some Tech structure*, that structure is immediately available for you to

 * PowerPlant, Airport, Machine Shop, Secret Lab, Outpost, Hospital, while Oil Derrick was
excluded because is not realistic to be able to be built everywhere on the map; ground doesn't
contain oil everywhere.

- All sides by default have following units:

- Spy; Hijacker; Medic; Stealth Mobile Generator; Paradrop Plane; Repair Ship;
- Spy Submarine with powerful sensors to reveal all submarines, giant squids or dolphins on the
battlefield.
- Airfield Excavator – which deploys into Airfield anywhere on the map.

"Invasion paradrops" is a Tech Superweapon that is available only if Superweapon box (WMD &
Defenses) in "Skirmish" is enabled.
Invasion with 48 paradrops from different squads from all 3 sides carried by 6 planes gives a feel
like Russian invasion with paradrops on Pentagon in first Soviet campaign in original Red Alert 2.
NEW "Invasion paradrops" SUPERWEAPON is fully operational with 3-split voice for all sides,
with complete message system for all players and the player who fires it, and AI setting for
computer player to defend himself from it. Also the AI (computer player) uses the superweapon
normally as any other original superweapon.

Known Issue/Bug: Beep signal on loading screen when is loaded map with Tech Airport on it, probably
because it is considered as Superweapon building.

automobiles, instead of soldiers because paradrops have all sides from their airports.

 Goal of this mod is achieved again: Gameplay is far more realistic now!
P.S. Many new mods implement too many new units and structures which knows usually to be
complicated for playing because the duration of the match itself is not too long to build and use
every each of them into it.

P.P.S. You will be surprised from the fact how good the AI (computer player) actually uses new
available features provided by the mod, and how long one skirmish match can lasts.
Historical changelog:
Version 2.3 | 18.05.2019 [current release]:

News:
GLOBAL:
- Electrical Poles ware converted from terrarian objects to buildings, damage and
buildup animation frames ware created and included.
Electrical Poles are very useful on the battlefield in many cases they will remove
the need of second construction yard if it is needed for expansion of the base on
one mainland or island. With Electrical poles player can very easily bring power
on lower or higher elevation ground, like in the real world.

- Beside these there are the Electrical Pillar (concrete building in water) and the
Electrical Pillar Carrier (ship that is able to deploy into Electrical Pillar anywhere in
the water) with their use player, can even further expand its base across the water
and bring power to another lands.
* You can be calm for now :) AI (computer player) doesn't know to use the power
expansions,.. yet.

- Mechanic Rocketeer for repairing air units - very useful for all air units when they are
above water.
* Requests Tech Outpost.

NEW Interface features:

- TogglePower OFF / ON with the "O" key from the keyboard. (AI / Computer player
use this);
- Save screenshoot with "Shift+S".

Japan:
- Japan Hack Center - new building at same level with Soviet Industrial Tech and Allied
Ore Purifier
- Can be occupied with 5 infantries
- Gives twice more money than Oil Derrick at a time.
* Cannot to be sold :(

Changes:
1. If your cloak sensor vehicle detects underwater unit, airplanes* can bombing it.

*Airplanes that can bombing underwater units are:

B2, Kirov, Soviet MiG, Allied Stealth MiG for Soviet Turkey, Sukhoi Su-37.
 2. Neutral player is now considered as enemy to any other player on the map.
If neutral unit or a civilian attack the player than its allies will retaliate.

3. Alligator and all DOGs (except CHIZKOI) can swim now.

*Alligator attacks in the water while Dogs don't, for keeping realism.

4. Aircraft Carriers and Destroyers splits experience for the kills/destroyings with their
Spawns (aircrafts), as follows:
- Ship takes 10%
- Aircraft takes 90%.

5. American Carrier Nimitz's hornets when get promoted will become cloaked (stealth).

6. Soviet Tesla Tank can support Tesla Coil same as Tesla Trooper.

7. Tanya, Natasha, and Boris learn how to become Immune To Psionics when get
promoted in Elite status.

8. Chronosphere now affects on Deployed Japan (ex. Yuri’s) Slave Miner.

Bug fixes:
- Yuri Command Sub cannot be killed by the Squid. Squid now will grab it instead of
punching it.
- Veterancy mechanism for vehicles and infantries updated to support last ARES version.
- American Drone UAV sometimes instead of crashing just goes down to infinitive spin
loop.
- Resistance Warehouse now can be sold.

Version 2.2 | 29.04.2019:

- All known bugs are fixed now:

Game now use alternative cameos for expanded Veterancy support for:

1. Defense buildings get pre-elite status with Spy infiltration in Battle Lab(s).
- Trainable buildings: Prism, and Medusa missile launcher.

2. Naval units get pre-elite status with Spy infiltration in Battle Lab(s).
- All armed naval units.

3. Aircrafts get pre-elite status with Spy infiltration in Airport(s).

- All armed aircrafts.
- Non-controllable spy effect on Tech Airport for limitless “Invasion Paradrop” superweapon found in
v2.1 is fixed.
- ARES updated to v2.0p1.
Version 2.1 | 22.04.2019:

- All tracks (songs) from RA2 and YR are playable.

RA2:IT doesn't include campaign mode. In according with that the button 'New Campaign' from 'Main
Menu' -> 'Single Player' is disabled.
More of the campaigns are broken - they are simply not compatible with the mod.

- If you capture some Tech structure*, that structure is immediately available for you to build it from the
side bar.
* PowerPlant, Airport, Machine Shop, Secret Lab, Outpost, Hospital, while Oil Derrick was excluded
because is not realistic to be able to be built everywhere on the map; ground doesn't contain oil
everywhere.

- Tech Airport changes:

"Tech paradrops" now need both Tech Airport and Tech Outpost.
"Invasion paradrops" is a Tech Superweapon that is available only if Superweapon box (WMD &
Defenses) in "Skirmish" is enabled.
Invasion with 48 paradrops from different squads from all 3 sides carried by 6 planes gives a feel like
Russian invasion with paradrops on Pentagon in first Soviet campaign in original Red Alert 2.
NEW "Invasion paradrops" SUPERWEAPON is fully operational with 3-split voice for all sides, with
complete message system for all players and the player who fires it, and AI setting for computer player
to defend himself from it. Also the AI (computer player) uses the superweapon normally as any other
original superweapon.

- Gap Generator was disabled for computer player. Gap Generator makes sense only in human-vs-
human scenarios. Using this building by AI (computer player) no makes any sense because computer
anyway knows where the human player is located on the map and that is not a fair play.

- New building to all sides: Resistance Warehouse –

Produces: Flint Westwood, Arnie Frankenfurter, Sammy Stallion;
and enables:
- Barricades
- Sandbags wall
- Fences
to be built while the gates left to be able to be built without need from this building.
