dont be a wimp and complain it's hard

I consider em rather easy, but that is because I've played em so many timess lol

yet, I'd always love to see more missions

[Unforgiven Pretender]

I am now at Soviet Mission five.
(I once was further, before re-installed my computer)

But instead of the normal mission 5, I got mission red.
In this mission you must destroy epsilon base in China.

You get Boris and 4 Iron Dragons first, and must battle with very much other units.
This does all go fine, until I reach the base (The base is Soviet, and has a barracks, one MIG and 3 Siege Choppers)

After that Epsilon attacks your base. (It's very easy to destroy the attackign units)
But the thing is that you must attack Epsilon's heavy guarded base, and I always get killed when I have done half the base :/

This is what I do when I'm at the point of having the base:
Train 2 Tesla Troopers, let them defend barracks against engineers.

Train 10 Conscripts who can fire from the buildings.

Well, I hope someone can help me.

Did you come nearby the shore? There's something helpful there.

[Unforgiven Pretender]

Ah, I completed the mission ^^
Thnx for the tip Speeder

By the way, I saw some units that I've never seen before:

Demo Buggy
Chinese Soldier
Chinese RPG Soldier
Lyang Missile Destroyer
Gunboat
Flame Tank (From Abandoned Research Facility)

And also some Tech Buildings:

Coal Plant
Soviet Air Strip (Not sure if this one's a tech building)
Solar Plant
Abandoned Research Facility

Why are these units and buildings not in the skirmish? (Or are they mission-only?)

[wcvechten]

Great deal are mission only

[Sturm-Korpsman]

A fast, but tedious (if that makes any sense) tip for Soviet mission #2: as soon as you can, have your Saboteurs destroy an enemy structure. This will cause the enemy Missile Silo to, somehow, track your units and fire upon them with nukes. As annoying as this seems, it can be used to your advantage; the enemy will essentially destroy all their own infrastructure for you.
The time delay of 50 seconds between every shot gives you just enough time to "lure" the enemy to fire onto whatever position you want it to, and escape; by doing this, you can essentially destroy every enemy on the map, save for the Nuke Silos themselves. The enemy Demo Trucks can be destroyed this way as well. Be sure to plan ahead, however; you may find yourself able to get the Silo to fire where you want it to, only to find you've trapped your own Saboteurs within the blast radius.

[wcvechten]

that is mah usual tactic lol

[Darkstorm]

Useful but reckless. I haven't tried it because I pretty sure I'd get trapped in.

[Speeder]

Bleh, nuking thing in second soviet mission must get fixed. xD

It definitely should; using this trick, I beat it with a time of 50 minutes, despite the par time being 1 hour and 30 minutes.

[Speeder]

Par times are not so par tbh. I am having them changed in the next version, especially for brutal game mode. You'll see how fast I beat those missions, tee-hee.

[wcvechten]

it will take 15 hours for you?

[Speeder]

This mod is already taking more hours to get it done and I quite like it. I've got some free time now after exams so there's no real deal. And I've already completed Allied campaign again, half-way through Soviet.

[Ravicai]

Allied Mission 3: Please rename this mission to "kobayashi maru".

2+ years, and still no effective solution on this post. This map = fail.

Edit: I finally beat it. The final solution was somewhat similar to Kirk's. I saved the game just before you blow up that truck with the crate and kept reloading until it gave my SEALs cloaking ability. Then they just walked right up to both nukes, blew them, then blew the dominator. Not an ideal solution, but it works. It's hilarious that the map after this one is about 20 times easier.

Haha, crate cheaters. No more crate trucks in 3.0 missions.

[Speeder]

Was bored, so I posted Allied mission 1 walkthrough - or at least Tanya solo part because the second part is easy.



Still figuring out how to get best ingame recording quality. Any suggestions?

Maybe I should take a gander at that walkthrough, I've never gotten past the first allied mission... I get gunned down every time. I was planning on waiting for 3.0 to finish the campaigns though.

As for recording quality, ask apollo. The dude knows how to put together a video. You should make one of the difficultys as hard as robot storm on brutal. I don't think I've ever beaten a 1v1.

Camtasia Studio records pixel perfect (literally). I'd also suggest cutting off the sidebar... and maybe just play at a smaller resolution in general if you want the whole game recorded.

[Darkstorm]

I was able to beat Allied:1 in a few tries, then again, I revealed the map (ya I like to cheat like that(only against computers though)). Camtasia is awesome, I've seen someone use it.

[Gamr973]

As much as I hate the cheating AI, I won't cheat back. The only way the AI is even a challange is if it gets money multipliers and such.
