I thought I found an alternative route near the village where I was stuck for many a tries, but it lead nowhere. I tried to mitigate what I had after I lost my army, and tried going through the woods, but alas I had not enough to breach through the base because I already lost everything.

 

I wish I had saves, so I wouldn't be forced to go through entire missions just because I did a mistake at the end. This game is seriously disrespectful for one's free time.

 

 

Edit: Tried it again. This game hates me. I managed to reach the tower, then my army got destroyed, and ran out of time.

 

But not just that, oh no. Just after making such a comment as "seriously disrespectful for one's free time", look what happens:

 

Spoiler

 

After defending the last remaining Drakuv, it goes "fuck it, I'm turning back". And he did. I went through the rest of the mission, with the Drakuv taking a stroll back home.

 

Spoiler

 

Only after I reached the Chinese base it turned back, but it was halfway back to the starting point.

 

Spoiler

 

You know what, screw this mission, it is clearly trolling me. I hate it as much as it hates me. The only way to fix this would be to skip the second half (and seriously STOP MAKING THESE RANDOM "LOOK THERE'S MORE" MOMENTS, they are waste of time!), or at least removing the timer completely.

I'm sorry for saying this but, since most of the time I saw Solais' posts being nice and sassy and sarcastic recently I see a different side and....kinda amused me.

 

Especially with that kind of troll from the game. I wonder what actually happened there xD

[Damfoos]

The Knightframe prototypes which the Russians called "Cyborgs" aren't actually cyborgs right?

I assumed that the Russians confused the exoskeletons for artificial limbs because that would be the most logical progression from researching Volkov.

Knightframe prototypes are called "heavy trooper" there, the only real cyborgs Russians aim to destroy are those 3.0 Soviet-Soviet stolen tech guys and Lancer prototype.

Speaking of which: it would be nice if it had a unique sprite with no weapon (how can it have one that early anyway?). I'm sure Nolt still has the source model, so it shouldnt be hard to render it again without the blade.

How the heck do I catch the kamaz truck in heartwork? The freaking base is full of teslacoils and the moment where I entered the base the truck run with fullspeed.

Was so close to winning, then this shit happened...

The game knows what do you write on forum. And it clearly takes it back on you. I might be an ass, but i haven't got that good laugh for some time.

 

And really, how one does run out of time in that mission? I always have at least 15 minutes of time left.

Ye man, I spend a hour getting till that point to destroy my second nano fiber building thing, and then bam, a fu cking truck outta nowhere and mission failed.

After losing one army, there's not enough time to build another. You have to wait for the miners to bring in the money, and maybe I can build up a small taskforce and let them at the wall which is the enemy base, but after that, I usually have 3 minutes left and can't do anything. And seeing how close the timer is in other missions when I win them, I still think the timer is set with the mind that 1 second in the game is 1 second irl, which is not true, one second on the game timer is really around 0.45 seconds in real life. This is why I find most timers too short in MO, because it ticks down like crazy and makes me panic.

 

And yeah, that laugh was well deserved. I feel stressed nowadays due to a messed up sleep schedule, (which is actually caused by MO, because I only have time playing it at night), so I'm more irritated nowadays.

By the way, is there going to be Act III?

Kamaz in Northern base goes to the north and approaches through the main gate of the base near the Centrifuge.

Holy crap, in noise severe there is a devestating forest full of adepts in the darkness at the second part, i lost pretty much everything i had there bar the scuds (volkov died earlier, damn he would have helped there) but i still made it. Why? Because if you move out straight away when the second objective starts you still have time to rebuild a sizeable army with the industrial plant and the numerous abandoned vehicles in the chinese base if you lose literally everything. But anyway, once you pass that forest and take the southern route upwards the rest should be easy as long as you properly use scuds against tesla coils.

 

 

Also, in heartwork being aggressive at the last centrifuge probably works better, the truck meant zero problems for me considering it just went straight towards my army coming from the west while i was attacking the tesla coils with burratino's.

Aggressive move Terror Drones and especially Chitzkoi might be enough to clear out the forest from them and Shadow Tanks. Chitzkoi imo is even more useful in this mission than Volkov.

[Nablis123]

Noise severe : just lead with the battle fortress and put volkov in it, clean everything up while body blocking the drakuvs. second part after you destroy that first Iron guard go top with chitzkoi (just keep him alive you don't have to run him in) kill the adepts and viruses in that forest then let him go loose on the shadow tanks, they can't kill him on their own anyways, while all that happens just build up the army while taking the hard parts with the heroes and rush with at least 5 minutes left under your pelt, either make a lot of borillos and fill them up with troops or escort the Scuds infront of the base's entrance and shoot the the objective from there. (did it with 3 tries)

 

Heartwork : that mission is a walk in a park.... a very dark rainy scary park....

 

and about the Kamaz at the end just rush with with the tesla tanks, they will disable it and it's not like it has that much health anyways...

[CLAlstar]

Seriously Solais, take a look at videos, you dont even need to make units, things you get + captured vehicles from chinese base are more than enough. There is a route where you can avoid all adepts in forest.

It's just the fact that if you take TOO long, some parts will literally be pitch dark

[Flandre]

According to Martinoz, the chinese is NOT upset.

 

Because the Chinese Command either believe this:

 

#1 that must be the Nationalist posing as Russians to deter our alliance with them! They destroy our research center in attempt to destabilize the treaty!

#2 Yuri must had figure out our research! He decided to send brainwashed Russians so that along with destroying our research center, they want to ruin our alliance with the Russians! To hell with Yuri! (Attacks an unnamed Island)

#3 Both 1 and 2

#4 Maybe they are not the Chinese we were looking for that have signed the treaty?

[Damfoos]

I bet this is Yunru's private science division or she is affiliated with its leadership. She was the one who analyzed Volkov in Dragonstorm, she arrived to the airstrip in The Lunatic after the plane lifted off - she's probably been watching how efficient in combat he is. What the Chinese Conscript in the complex says clearly tells us the complex has a "chief" who has (or pretends to have) approval of official China, it is highly possible Yunru is the chief.

Hence it is not Chinese forces who gets attacked but independent research division, and if they don't have that approval, Chinese will be mad not because Russians have destroyed their complex but because Russians have decided to solve the problem themselves instead of relaying in to Chinese leadership.

Played Dance of Blood

 

Mind control and grinder made the whole defense a joke :v

 

1st OST seems like a remix of Obsidian Sands, and has that anime feel.

 

2nd is just.... creepy

[Allied Commander ???]

I wonder how the "Rocket lands on landing zone and Libra exits" sequence is scripted in 'Dance of Blood'. BTW the mapper indeed did a good job in this mission, Bravo Mentalmisters!

[GuardianGI]

Just cleared Noise Severe on Easy...
The first part was a nice walk, while I cleared the second part with terror drones...
Maybe 70-80 of them?
P.S.: Nearly got my ass whooped with my Elite BT garrisoned with Elite Volkov -_-"
