Maps

This section houses new maps for use in Red Alert multiplayer games against the computer in Skirmish mode or against other human opponents. Most of the maps are in zipfiles to make it easier and faster to download.
Note: some maps have alterations built in to change characteristics of some units / structures!

[ Click here to see a directory list of all the available maps at RA-Archive ]

To use these maps:
Click on the filename of the map zipfile you want and choose a place to download it on your hard drive. If the map has a .mpr extension instead of a .zip extension then you need to download it by clicking on the link. Unzip the map(s) you want to your main Red Alert directory (usually C:\WESTWOOD\REDALERT).
This can be done using Winzip which can be downloaded for a free trial period.

This is not necessary for maps which are not zipped up (ie those which already have a .mpr extension). You can now start up Red Alert and choose the map(s) to play on from the list of maps in the multiplayer settings. Note, if you have several maps in your directory, Red Alert can take longer to load up (although it does not affect the gameplay). If you wish to remove maps simply delete or rename files ending with a .mpr extension.

Description: There is a large river running through the map, although at least one of the bases is out of range of the Cruisers' eight inchers. I can't say there's anything special or that it favors one side or the other, but I think it'll play well.

Description: This map specifically designed for eight players. There's plenty of money to start off with, and author put in many ore generators, so that once all the money has been harvested the game won't become a crate race, but the ore will regenerate quickly enough so that any remaining players can plod along. There are no buffer zones between the bases, which are placed around the edges like the squares of a tic-tac-toe board. Each base does have a bridge it can blow if the player feels like minimizing avenues of attack. The central area contains a little ore and a lot jewels. There is a small lake in the middle with a land bridge across it. For only a few players, this is an interesting map to use the colonization tactic.

Description: Here's another map for a large number of players. There are four bases in the corners and four in the middle, separated by a mountain ridge. Each base has only one way in and out, and plenty of money inside each base. This map is probably good for beginners, since the bases are relatively defencible (you can't stop people from shooting over the ridges) and the risk of loosing poorly managed harvesters is minimal.

Description: 2 to 4 player map that allows many different stratagies. A very large river dominates this map that allows ships to navigate freely. As with most maps with alot of water, this map is more suited for allied play.

Description: 2 player map with lots of choke points. All roads lead to your opponent. (well almost) This is a very large & defendable map. Choose your routes carefully. You are a long way from your base & suppliy lines are critical.

Description: This map was inspired by the Barbarossa episode of World at War. "...eastward ever eastward to the boundless motherland of Russia" Author wanted a large sparse arctic map, that was lightly resourced and left a lot of room for manoeuvring and fumbling around in the fog of war. It's a pretty basic map.
