A number of custom maps and modifications are available for the real-time-strategy video-game "Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2" and its 2001 expansion pack "Yuri's Revenge." A custom map allows the player to play out battles in a new setting designed either by Westwood Studios, the company behind the games, or by other players using open-source map editing software. These custom maps and modifications are easily installed. They just have to be inserted into the root directory to which "Red Alert" was originally installed.
