Post-release support included 6 patches for the base game and only 1 for Yuri's Revenge, as well as a semi-official map editor (FinalAlert) compatible with both titles. The Yuri's Revenge expansion from October 2001 added two new campaigns, new units, and for the first time in the franchise, a third faction playable in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
