Welcome back, Commander.
First of all, let me express my gratitude to everyone who voted for Rubicon during the Top 100 Mods of the Year competition. I wanted to post this article and promote the event before the polls closed, but life got in the way. Fortunately, you didn't forget. Thanks to you, our fans, Rubicon has made it to the Top 100 mods in 2023! Being a relatively new mod, I consider this a great achievement. Thank you for helping us reach this milestone!
Now the other, much harder competition has begun: the race for the Mod of the Year title. I feel like that's a little too ambitious for now, but I don't want to discourage you from voting either. Remember, you can vote for multiple mods, so do give a vote for fellow mods have received significant updates this year like Dawn of the Tiberian Age.
With that out of the way, let's look at what's been cooking up behind the curtain, shall we?
Since the first release, I've slowly but steadily continued to work on Act II missions, the second part of the Tiberian Sun campaign. Creating a quality mission, even if by tweaking an existing one, takes a lot of work. It doesn't help that I work at a 9-to-5 desk job, study, and try to maintain a speck of social life. Thankfully, the very positive reception of the mod so far gives me confidence and motivation to pursue this hobby.
Here are some previews of the first few Act II missions:
I've also made some bugfixes and tweaks to the Act I missions as well as overall gameplay balance. Your feedback is valuable in identifying and prioritizing issues, so keep it coming!
We've also revisited some more of the vanilla TS assets and updated or remade them with better quality. Here are a few of them:

TBD, but stay tuned, it might be just around the corner.
That's all for now!
See you on the battlefield, Commander!

I've just played Skirmish for a few minutes and I gotta say, it looks excellent. Can barely wait for the next update!
I just wanna ask: How can I activate the Realistically Scaled Units option? Seems to be grayed off and I can't turn it on.
Really praying this mod is still in development. It's literally everything I have been hoping would happen for TibSun since the late 2000's. The alpha release is fantastic, absolutely perfect. Can't wait for Act 2. And Act 3 :)
It sure is! Updates may seem slow as I don't have as much time to work on the mod as I'd like to, but it's going forward nontheless!
This mod is pretty good for an alpha. I can't wait to see more of the updated sprites and new maps, excellent work.
This is my most anticipated mod
Hi, great stuff! Just what I need.
CANNOT wait for this!
I would love it if the Mammoth mk2 could be a lot bigger than it was in the original game. Is that possible?
It already is. Download the mod and see for yourself ;)
It looks amazing!
