Return of the Dawn is a TS to C&C1 (Tiberian Dawn) total conversion, aiming to combine the fun gameplay of the original with the more advanced features and graphical capabilities of the Tiberian Sun engine. While March 2010 marked the first appearance on ModDB, ROTD is in fact one of the oldest active mods in the entire C&C community (the original version 1.0, which was more a partial conversion than a true TC, was released in Dec. 2002). ROTD 2.0, released in 2004, was the first Total Conversion for Tiberian Sun, and has received several updates since then.
ROTD version 2.9 incoming
Next and probably last bigger update in the works, release planned within the next 2-3 months.

Not bad, but I came expecting a revamped singleplayer. Still an outsanding job!
How played this mod on First Decade Game Disk??
Its a standalone
Strange.. With freeware version of Tiberin Sun I haven't see any units in game with this mod. And building too... Only cinstruction yard have been visible with bugged animation. I install 2.8.5 and 2.8.7 with overwright. What I do wrong?
You extract the mod into a separate folder, it is stand-alone, you made a mistake by extracting it into your Tiberian Sun installation.
very nice mod would be nice if u could finish version 2.9 :)
Isn't Reaperrr from Renegade mod too? Well at 1st this mod cant play but later can play. ^^
But sadly, i can't find ships.
Both this mod and DTA get my vote :)
