What does this extension do?
I played a lot of RA2:YR in my youth but am not in the RA2 modding scene and I couldn't really understand how to use this extension or what it might provide.

Basically it patches bugs found in the original game and provides new engine features. RA2YR engine is not like modern game engines, you don't have a scripting language, everything is configured via config files without the need to code, hence modders can't implement custom game mechanics apart from what the engine provides. For example, per-unit shields with additional HP and different armor were not possible to do, with Phobos it is possible.
