This is a continuation of a topic from Renegades other site:

A brief recap:
I am very new to modding, very old to Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. I have been a computer gamer for many years, and I have yet to be impressed by any game as much as I have been by RA2:YR (Though SupCom came close before they ruinated it).

My latest platform is this:
(A) More connection between main buildings and defensive building/offensive unit capability. It seems oversimplistic to just have a "Battle Lab" giving you instant access to all your higher tech. Perhaps create more buildings to give more construction options.
(B) Give the ability to build certain structures on land or at sea.
© Increased naval capacity and flexibility is a must. Thats actually the issue that's attracted me to the modding side of gaming.

To which has been replied "Mirage, you're really a newbie. (Not a noob.)"

So, I wanna learn. I need a new hobby, I'm not a moron and I'm willing to listen.
