[h1]Tyler’s Red Alert AI Overhaul + Ore Truck Improvements[/h1]
Tyler’s Red Alert AI Overhaul is a single-player AI mod for Command & Conquer: Red Alert Remastered.
The goal is to make skirmish opponents smarter, more aggressive, more coordinated, and less predictable while keeping the classic Red Alert feel.
The mod does not add new units or radically change the game. It focuses on better AI economy management, expansion, army production, targeting, defense, and attacks.

[h2]Main AI Improvements[/h2]
[list]
[*]Much smarter and more aggressive AI opponents
[*]Learns where enemy defenses are and remembers failed attack routes
[*]Larger, more coordinated ground attacks
[*]Strategic targeting of Construction Yards, Refineries, and War Factories
[*]Secondary-base construction and expansion
[*]Improved economy, Harvester, and production management
[*]Multiple AI personalities and playstyles
[*]Better base layouts and traffic management
[*]Improved anti-air and defensive behavior
[*]Allied AI assistance in team games
[*]Improved naval combat and shore bombardment
[*]Coordinated aircraft strikes
[*]Improved helicopter rearming and Helipad management
[*]Chinook infantry and Engineer raids
[*]Improved MCV deployment and Construction Yard recovery
[*]Smarter use of Engineers, Minelayers, Medics, Demo Trucks, and other special units
[/list]
The AI can remember dangerous areas, avoid repeatedly making the same failed attack, regroup larger forces, and prioritize valuable enemy infrastructure once it breaks into a base.

[h2]Ore Truck/Refinery Quality-of-Life Improvements[/h2]
Ore Trucks have also received improvements for both the player and AI.
They make better decisions about which ore fields and Refineries to use, helping reduce crowding, traffic jams, and unnecessary Harvester pileups. This isn't a magic fix, but it is marginally better/more intelligent than vanilla.
Damaged Ore Trucks carrying ore will also attempt to return their cargo early when badly damaged instead of continuing to harvest until destroyed.
You can also check how Ore Trucks are being distributed between Refineries.
When you hover over an Ore Refinery, its information displays how many Ore Trucks are currently assigned to it:
[b]Ore Refinery
Ore Trucks Assigned: 4[/b]
This information is visible for your own and allied Refineries, but is hidden for enemies.
These changes do not alter Ore Truck speed, armor, cargo capacity, harvesting rate, or ore value.

[h1]WARNING: Hard Mode Is EXTREMELY Hard[/h1]
Hard difficulty is intended as a serious challenge for experienced Red Alert players.
The Hard AI expands aggressively, rebuilds after losses, creates large economies, produces large armies, and can recover from setbacks that would normally cripple the original AI.
Destroying one army does not necessarily mean you have won.
It is difficult, but absolutely winnable.

[h2]Recommended First Hard-Mode Challenge[/h2]
[list]
[*]1 Human vs. 1 Hard AI
[*]Use a very large 8-player map
[*]Choose a map with plentiful ore and gems
[*]Give both sides plenty of room to expand
[*]Avoid tiny rush maps for your first game
[/list]
Large maps allow the AI to demonstrate its secondary bases, large armies, economic expansion, air power, naval forces, and long-term recovery.
Bring your A-game.

[h2]Tips for Surviving Hard Mode[/h2]
[list]
[*]Scout early. Do not let the AI expand freely.
[*]Protect your economy. Losing Harvesters and Refineries can quickly become catastrophic.
[*]Attack infrastructure. Construction Yards, Refineries, and War Factories are often more important than individual tanks.
[*]Expect counterattacks. Do not leave your base completely undefended.
[*]Stop secondary bases early. A second AI economy can become extremely dangerous.
[*]Keep scouting. The battlefield can change significantly during a long game.
[*]Be prepared for a long war.
[/list]

[h2]Smarter Ground Combat[/h2]
Large AI armies are designed to behave more like coordinated offensives instead of feeding units into the enemy one at a time.
The AI can regroup before attacking, bring reinforcements forward, and prioritize valuable targets once it reaches an enemy base.
Important targets include:
[list]
[*]Construction Yards
[*]Refineries
[*]War Factories
[*]Airfields and Helipads
[*]Other important production and economic structures
[/list]

[h2]Air, Naval, and Special Operations[/h2]
The AI can organize grouped aircraft strikes, properly rearm helicopters and planes, use Chinooks for infantry and Engineer raids, and make meaningful use of naval forces.
Cruisers and Missile Submarines can conduct shore bombardment, while naval forces can scout coastlines and attack enemy ships and coastal structures.
Yes — the AI actually uses naval units.
