Ares is the next generation of binary-based Command & Conquer modding.
Following the path paved by pd's famous RockPatch, Ares fixes and enhances the Yuri's Revenge game engine in a variety of ways, allowing modders to expand the game with never before seen custom units.
However, unlike RockPatch and other exe patches, Ares does not modify the game's exe. Instead, Ares uses Syringe to inject its code into the game during runtime, leaving the original game unchanged, thus eliminating the need for backup exes or un-patchers.
If, for whatever reason, you wish to download Ares independently anyway, click below.
Ares can be downloaded to the right, however, for ease of distribution and regular updates, it is strongly recommended that all mods using Ares use Launch Base instead.
Launch Base is the next generation mod creator/launcher developed by Marshall, offering one-stop integration and management of mods, plugins and tools for Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. It has inbuilt Syringe and Ares support including automated updates, making it the cleanest and easiest way to obtain and use Ares.
Since this site has been de-facto static for over 14 years, I have finally stripped out the would-be dynamic parts and moved it to Github Pages.
This makes sure the site remains available as long as the repository does, and it enables the maintainers to change the site if necessary.
If development pace picks up enough that dynamic news are desired in the future, JavaScript could be used to display the Launchpad feed instead of static news.

In the meantime, you can open an issue on Launchpad.
Do not contact developers personally to make feature requests. Feature requests received that way will be ignored. Instead, file a proper feature request.
