Custom Maps: Getting them to run with ANT units

I made a couple of maps and successfully ported them to the Remaster, however, these maps are not like normal maps.

My Custom Maps use ANT units. Literal Ants ("It came from Red Alert"). On the Remastered Version, the Cameo's don't exist, so you can't build them. The original Game had Cameo's for these units, so why did nobody remember to remaster them?

    Yes, very strange, though what's worse is the fact that given enough time and chance, the AI can build the ANT's on my custom Map while I can't.

    A quick solution is if EA actually placed a 'Missing Cameo' Icon to serve as a Default when there isn't a Cameo available (just like in Red Alert 2). Make sure it's clickable though, and not like what we currently got where you can't even click on the thing.

  • I dont see any icons for the giant ants at all in my copy of the original game/expansions (either for the dos or windows versions)

    I also can't find any evidence online that the giant ants actually had an icon anywhere in any version.
