C&C Generals: Rise of the Reds - Comparing Power Plants

Rise of the Reds or ROTR for short is a massive mod for Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour.
The mod adds 2 brand new factions, the frontal breakthrough focused Russian Federation and the defense-oriented European Continental Alliance or ECA for short.

The mod also vastly revamps the original factions, giving them new units, buildings, upgrades, and more!
Other improvements include a focus on army diversity, a new 2-tier tech system, amphibious capabilities, and more!

Today we will be comparing each faction's main power production facility. These buildings are essential for combat operations.
We will be covering their differences, strengths, weaknesses, unique abiltiies, and more!
I plan on doing more of these for other General's Mods and more units from ROTR.
If you have any suggestions, please comment them below.
Thank you for watching!

TYPO: At 4:20 the Fusion Reactor Control Rods build hotkey is "C" not "I".

Me after blacking out an ECA base with just 2 super weapons:

How’s that clean energy working out for ya?

[Leman_RUSSIAN]

Suddenly, the least technological power plant is the most efficient.

[Clonekiller]

Imagine needing Power.
This post brought to you by GLA gang.

Shall we now focus on the defensive structres of Each Faction like the Russian Tesla Tower, or the US Patriot Missile System? Just to name a few.

I have learned a lot of things that I didn't know, like the EMP immunity of Solar Reactor and self-repair of USA buildings. Keep making ROTR content!

[donaldchurch]

To make a quick balancing note here, I feel the USA should have a buffed power system due to their high reliance on power compared to the other factions excluding the ECA.

[Mr_Rebel_]

I love your content and hope you continue!
Come on, next time there will be COMMANDOS of all factions

[aldrichcruz]

Don't forget there is another one for the ECA Back up Solar Reactor well it does give a 100 or 500 power but it became dormant because the Solar Light array isn't activate you'll have to activate it to increase power

[EVILIAN]

If I'm not mistaken, Chinese Fusion reactor(or how it's called) also produces lot of energy. It was enough to supply whole base + 2 nuclear silos.

[ToriusHeart]

Thanks for considering the comments from the previous video about the readability! Although, now I am not sure if I have noticed it in the previous video or I was too focused on Russians having the least readable descriptions, but now its only the US that seem to have barely readable stats.

[fazrulfasya]

I didn't know before that GLA benefits with power to produce vehicles faster.thanks for sharing

[fc-rqbi]

The fact that if we upgraded the ECA infantry in Barrack(can't remember what it's call) we can just put felin riffle man in the Solar's bunker and can protect enemy infantry and aircraft at the same time

[andrewmozer]

Really enjoying your videos
Hope for your next comparison you do either on the factions jet fighters or heavy anti air

[dimitrijespasic]

Holy shit I didn't know that getting a Tech Power Plant increases unit build time for GLA!

[JuanMatteoReal]

That's why I don't like the standard fusion power plant whenever I play as USA in other mods and prefer what General Alexander has (in other C&C ZH mods like Untitled or Shockwave), aside from being bored with the yellow-green color of the upgraded rods.

[generalderpscout]

Missed the opportunity of China's second power plant known as Breeder Reactor

[sola]

Nice
I'd also like to watch some comparisons for all faction's airforce, both light and heavy from helis to planes please~

[maelstromx]

Are you testing this on the version 1.86? The open beta 1.87 added a second reactor for ECA. Provides 50 power, and has a temporary ability to generate 300k power for a few seconds

[SilverScarletSpider]

solar reactor 😂 maybe add some wind turbines on it too
