Nmenth 291 Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) I prefer stealing images off random websites and manipulating them myself for avatars. What is that skull-like central image in the Allied grid? Edited September 16, 2008 by Nmenth Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted September 16, 2008 No idea. For second there I thought the collection of Empire of the Rising Sun images revealed their BIG secret. But that is still safe..... for now Share this post Link to post
Gben 20 Posted September 16, 2008 By the way the standard windows compression program (vista) had problems unzipping this file. The compressed file has 0 byte files that were causing me issues. But I reinstalled peazip and it had no problems. Share this post Link to post
Silverthorn 0 Posted September 16, 2008 Yeap, beautiful icons. I'll use one of them, just to differentiate a little bit. As for me in the official forums there, nope, the old one stays. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted September 16, 2008 I've added them to the forums as Avatar Galleries. If you want use them (or just see them) go to My Controls >> Edit Avatar Settings >> Look under Pre-installed avatars >> Select each gallery from the drop down menu. Share this post Link to post
Hannibal 0 Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) They're pretty sweet. Does anyone have any ideas as to what these images might be? Edited September 16, 2008 by Hannibal Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted September 16, 2008 The EoTRS image, can't tell you.... NDA from June's RA3 Community Summit is still technically in affect for this I think. The Allies one, like I said before no idea. Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted September 16, 2008 Are we going to be seeing epic units in the campaign or something... this thing to me looks like a Samurai King Oni... probably an experimental weapon of some sort. But saying that, we haven't caught wind of who the Empire's Prince Tatsu is...Nah, not a chance.... But whatever it is, it can't be that big surely, unless the robot we see here is the real foundation for the empire's psychic ability. Cos in theory Yuri would still be a part of the timeline no matter how much it changes. He would still be born and still possess his abilities in many 5th dimensions.... he could be a part of this game in some unknown circumstance for all we know. Share this post Link to post

Saracen 16 Posted September 16, 2008 nah, I was more thinking along the lines of the Empire discovering and catching Yuri long before the war started where they ended up torturing his psychic mind. He ends up dying, and they stick him in a robot or something with abilities in tact... something which could bring a link to Red Alert 2, even though in this game the 1st and 2nd Red Alert Wars never really existed.

G0NE2W4R 0 Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Pretty cool avatars But I'll stick with the one I have right now, for now. Hope they make more in the future. Edited September 16, 2008 by G0NE2W4R Share this post Link to post
hagren 0 Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Sonic, you don't even have to spill the beans, because every forumgoer nows: The Eotrs avatar in question is the campaign-only red King Oni. Or at least, that's what they think it is Now, what that Allied mask is remains in the dark... Edited September 16, 2008 by hagren Share this post Link to post
