1. KNOWN BUGS :
---------------
+ Yuri's Orca Transport will bomb mind controlled units if the
target was selected before the mind control link was established.
To stop this you have to manually stop the Orca Truck from engaging
the target any further.
+ Yuri's Mobile Tank Bunker doesn't tilt in slopes (SHP).
+ Neither the Soviet or Yuri AI use their new airforces. This is due
to the time restrictions I had on releasing the mod as soon as possible
+ Parabombs cannot be dropped into water.
+ There have been two reported cases of the game exiting to the
desktop as one player has assigned a team to a Chaos Missile. So far,
this bug has occurred only in online battles.
-----------------
-- 1.1 Bug fixes:
-----------------
The following things have been changed since version 0.73:
+ The Cyborg Commando has been given -25% defense and its cost has

be shot down my stationary anti-air (Flak, Patriot, Gattling).
+ Deltas can now detonate vehicles and ships even when they are elite.

2. MOD FILES:
-------------
Place the files in this zip file into the Red Alert 2 directory, and
the changes will take place the next time you start up Yuri's Revenge.
You will be asked whether to replace ra2md.csf, which you can go ahead
and accept because game will automatically create a new copy of the
file once the one that came with DoV has been removed from the folder.
The changes will take place the next time you start up Yuri's Revenge.
--------------------
2.1 -- Removing DoV:
--------------------
To deactivate this mod, you have to remove the following files:
+ ra2md.csf
+ expandmd06.mix
+ ecachemd06.mix
+ glslmd.shp (title screen)
-------------------
3. GENERAL CHANGES:
-------------------
List of general changes as of version 0.5:
+ All sides can build wire fences and naval mines.
+ Some units have been completely or partially renamed.
+ Crates occasionally offer a player the chance to use a free NUKE.

that completely re-shrouds the map.
+ Over 30 new cameos for existing units.
+ Over 60 new units and/or buildings.
+ Construction Yards carry crates, provided that crates are enabled.
+ All sides can produce special Remote- Contolled Bombers ($900)
from occupied Tech Airports. Airports no longer allow paradrops,
but parabombs instead.
