Command and Conquer: Regenesis

Command and Conquer: Regenesis, also known as C&C:R, is a real-time strategy game developed by Pancakers & Co. and published by Paladin's Watch and Kamantanov Games, which was released for Microsoft Windows and Dynamo Screens on October 23, 2010. Regensis, unlike the Red Alert and Tiberium series, allows players to choose whether to pick up at the conclusion of the Allied ending, the conclusion of the Soviet ending, or the start of the Coalition's involvement; Yuri's Army, Novaya, Saiyane and Imperial Axis were added into the game as part of a free update. A few expansion packs, one of which is the Aftermath of the Spellcross War, was released.
Command and Conquer: Regensis' engine utilize a heavily modified Tiberian Sun engine, the same engine used for Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2. Regenesis contains four playable factions, the Allies, Soviets, Yuri's Army, and Coalition, the former two of which were featured in Red Alert and Red Alert 2 and the latter first being featured in Yuri's Revenge. Collaborations with RA2 and YR fan groups that developed known but unofficial RA2/YR games led to a spike in popularity.

==Controversy==
Novaya having more than three subfactions sparked controversies since the release of the Aftermath of the Spellcross War, with fans decrying such as overpowered and unfair and critics attacking the expansion as being "pro-Novayan centrist bullshit"; the Novayan government even echoed the decriers' statements, adding that having only two is just enough rather than add two puppet states (Saderan Empire and Empire of Misurugi).
==Author's Notes==
*The Allied Forces, Soviet Bloc and Yuri's Forces having subfactions (if the latter has any) were shout-outs to Mental Omega: Almost Perfect Yuri's Revenge.
*Command and Conquer: Regenesis is a Novayan RTS game resulted from a deal between Paladin's Watch, Kamantanov Games and Pancakers & Co. and Electronic Arts.
*Command and Conquer: Regenesis is a fictional game, not a real one.
*Classifications of these factions and subfactions came from TV Tropes' article, "A Commander Is You".
