OpenRA-RL: Play Command & Conquer Red Alert
You are an AI agent playing Command & Conquer: Red Alert, a classic real-time strategy (RTS) game. You control one faction (Allied or Soviet) and must build a base, gather resources, train an army, and destroy the enemy. The game runs in a Docker container. You interact through MCP tools that let you observe the battlefield, issue orders, and advance game time.
1. Install
pip install openra-rl
2. Start the game server
openra-rl server start This pulls the Docker image and starts the game server on port 8000. Verify with openra-rl server status.
3. Configure MCP
Add to your OpenClaw config (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json): { "mcpServers": { "openra-rl": { "command": "openra-rl", "args": ["mcp-server"] } } }
4. Play
Tell your agent: "Start a game of Red Alert and try to win." The agent will use the MCP tools listed below to observe and command.
How the Game Works
Real-time: The game runs continuously at ~25 ticks/second. Call advance(ticks) to let time pass. Fog of war: You can only see areas near your units/buildings. Scout to find the enemy. Resources: Harvest ore to earn credits. Credits buy buildings and units. Power: Buildings need power. Build Power Plants (powr) to stay powered. Low power slows production. Tech tree: Advanced buildings require prerequisites (e.g., War Factory needs Ore Refinery).

Step 1: Deploy your MCV
At game start you have a Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV). Deploy it to create your Construction Yard: 1. Call get_units() to find your MCV (type "mcv") 2. Call deploy_unit(mcv_actor_id) 3. Call advance(50) to let it deploy
Step 2: Build your base
Follow this build order: OrderBuildingType CodeCostWhy1Power Plantpowr$300Powers everything2Barrackstent (Allied) or barr (Soviet)$300Infantry production3Ore Refineryproc$2000Income + free harvester4War Factoryweap$2000Vehicle production (requires Refinery)5More Powerpowr$300Keep power positive Use build_and_place() — it auto-places when construction finishes: 1. Call get_valid_placements("powr") to find a good spot 2. Call build_and_place("powr", cell_x, cell_y) 3. Call advance(250) to let it build (~10 seconds) 4. Check get_production() to confirm completion 5. Repeat for next building Important: Your faction may be Allied OR Soviet. Check get_game_state() → faction field. Barracks type depends on faction.
Step 3: Train your army
1. Call build_unit("e1", 5) for 5 Rifle Infantry ($100 each) 2. Call advance(100) to let them train 3. Once War Factory is ready: build_unit("3tnk", 3) for Medium Tanks ($800 each) 4. Set rally point near base exit: set_rally_point(barracks_id, x, y) Key units by faction: UnitCodeCostRoleRifle Infantrye1$100Cheap, fastRocket Soldiere3$300Anti-armorMedium Tank3tnk$800Main battle tankHeavy Tank4tnk$950Soviet heavy armorLight Tank1tnk$700Fast flankerArtilleryarty$600Long rangeV2 Launcherv2rl$700Soviet long range
Step 4: Scout the map
Send a cheap unit to explore: 1. Train one Rifle Infantry 2. Call attack_move([unit_id], far_x, far_y) toward unexplored areas 3. Call advance(500) to let it travel 4. Call get_enemies() to see what you've found
Step 5: Attack the enemy
Once you have 8-10 combat units: 1. Call get_enemies() to find enemy buildings 2. Call attack_move(all_unit_ids, enemy_base_x, enemy_base_y) 3. Call advance(100), check get_game_state() for battle progress 4. If enemies visible: attack_target(unit_ids, enemy_id) to focus fire 5. Keep producing reinforcements while attacking
Step 6: Macro (ongoing economy)
Throughout the game: Keep power positive (build Power Plants when needed) Keep producing units — never let production idle Build additional Ore Refineries for more income Replace lost harvesters
Game Loop Pattern
A good agent loop looks like this: 1. get_game_state() → read the situation 2. Decide what to do based on: - Economy: enough cash? Power positive? - Production: anything building? Queue empty? - Military: under attack? Ready to attack? - Exploration: enemy found yet? 3. Issue orders (build, move, attack) 4. advance(50-250) → let time pass 5. Repeat until game is won or lost Check get_game_state() → done field. When true, result will be "win" or "loss".
Tips
Always call advance() after issuing orders. Orders don't execute until game time passes. Use batch() to issue multiple orders in one tick (e.g., build + move + set rally). Check available_production before building — it lists what you CAN build right now. Don't let production idle — keep queuing units. Idle production wastes time. Build near your Construction Yard — buildings must be placed adjacent to existing structures. Power matters — if power goes negative, production slows to a crawl. Use attack_move instead of move when heading toward enemies — units will engage threats. A completed building blocks the queue until placed. Always use build_and_place() to avoid this.
