I'm signing in to ask if anyone has written guides to this game. Not just the video walkthroughs; actual text-based guides. I watched the walkthrough video for "Think Different", and tried to imitate it, but I still haven't been able to beat that stinker. Possibly, that could be to do with the video walkthrough being made with an earlier version of the mod, and it being rebalanced since.
For the present, I'll take any advice anyone has here on conquering this.
Think Different? IIRC all you need is a spam of desolators, with pyros for defenses and a few flak guys to deal with rocketeers and occasional robot tanks.
You can find guides on the challenges on the wiki. But I'd really like some for campaigns too.
Note: China uses the Eradicator, so it leaks radiation and can damage friendlies. How much that detracts from using it isn't clear, but it pretty obviously rules out deploying the units, and in that case, what can the Eradicator's weapon do that the Pyro's can't do well enough? Why use what is just an anti-infantry weapon that also harms my other units, when I make one that damages both infantry and buildings and doesn't hurt its allies? At any rate, I tried the spamming, both with and without Eradicators and it didn't work too well. You're going to need to explain a bit better how this is supposed to work.
Something else: In this mission there is a note that destroying some non-defensive structures might make the PF surrender. But which structures are those? I'm wondering if that's the key to this mission, since without negating large portions of the enemy, there doesn't seem to be enough time to complete it.
