I don't think it's ever a good idea to garisson Volkov in the BT.

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

 

They call that Basic Epsilon Economical Strategy. But the part where Libra shows up is... erm...

 

 

Anyways I clear Stormbringer, I decided to capture the Soviet base... Strangely when I capture the Soviet Construction Yard, it instantly being sold... yay... But that didn't stop me from wrecking Yuri. *stares at the Drakuv*

Capitalism/Communism reconditioning > Mind Control

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.

I did take that route my last time. The base is what killed all my units. Also Chitzkoi never survives that long, most of the time killed by my own units when still inside an enemy tank.

Now that reminds me...
Why in the world is that Crazy Ivan by the bridge in Noise Severe even tougher than an Apocalypse Tank?!
Is he a cyborg or something? -_-"

Because back in the prerelease Ivan could be killed and the bridge wasn't destroyed. Convoy is programmed to always take the longer route.

[19:42] <codyfun123_> worst MO player, best campaign brutalizer
[19:42] <codyfun123_> nothing left of your carefully crafted triggers but junk

[Kirov_Fury]

Epsilon defenses be like:
C'mon proselytes, we are winning focus on landing forces...
And then,
OMG WHO PUT THIS BARREL HERE !!!

Shouldn't it despawn though after doing that.

Wow... Now THAT'S brutal...

 

Btw, I won't be online for MO 3.3 until I clear Aegis Impervious in MO 2.0 (or someone manages to post a full walkthrough of it)

Alright... back to relying on trigger memory (and raging/reloading in the meantime) -_-"

P.S.: It's surprisingly easy to switch between MO 3.3 and MO 2,0, since it's just a case of installing/uninstalling NPatch (for some unknown reason)...

[CLAlstar]

I need to get all the files to get my hands on Aegis Impervious. Apparently NPatch doesnt work fine with TFD.

[GuardianGI]

I am using TFD, just saying
P.S.: The only problem I'm actually encountering consistently is rolling a dice and hoping my crappy dvd reader recognises the disc itself to grant me access to YR, and by extension, MO 2.0

DVD driver? What is this, year 2000? Get DaemonTool

[Solais]

NPatch doesn't work with Origin version sadly.

 

ANYWAYS! Using basically every tactics advice here (thanks), I completed Noise Severe! Hurray! It was really all about massing terror drones. :V

 

And then I did Heartwork just right after. Nice mission, I have no complaints whatsoever. Don't even know how one can miss the truck at the end, it literally drives into your forces, all suicide like.

 

Next up, Epsilon!

[Damfoos]

In Heartwork I didn't use 80% of reinforcements and cleared the complex with Buratinos and Tesla Tanks + Repair Drones only. Starting Quilins are to breach to the first objective, but after that they aren't really useful. Are all those extra units here for Normal and Mental difficulties?

Also, I love how there was a Repair Drone at the start and some units were already elite. This removes the boring routine of promoting all your key units (so they will get self-healing) before you can actually start the mission. I think on Easy difficulty this (elite starting units or healing/repair unit) should be standard for all missions with limited taskforce except those where you are not supposed to bruteforce your way through. It does make them easier because a careful player can completely avoid casualties, but it also removes unnecessary headache for the player.

Good luck. You. Will. Need. It.

[Handepsilon]

At least Lizard Brain. Dance of Blood just involves 'dancing' the MC'ed units to into their 'bloodied' doom in Grinder

That was intentional wasn't it? *sarcasm*

[Handepsilon]

I think in Act 2, there are extra protection for MCVs. In Exist to Exit, if you try sending an Engi to one of the two ConYards in the main bases, they'll blow up for no particular reason.

 

Found this out after I capped the establishing MCV on the north and sent a driller of engies behind the line.
