C&C Remaster - Beginner Introduction, Guides and Tips (Command & Conquer Remastered Collection)

[@hanzijing3485]

Currently replaying all the campaign missions for both games, here are some things I noticed. 1. For TD unless you destroy the refinery, the campaign AI does not bother rebuilding their harvester. But for RA the AI actively rebuilds ore miners lost. AI will aggressively attack anything that attacks their harvester/miner, I've seen in RA that sometimes they will even end up keeping an escort group to follow the miner after an attack. 2. Campaign AI gives zero Fs about build radius restrictions when rebuilding destroyed structures, but as they always build in the same spot, if you occupy the spot with anything (units, structures, walls, mines) they will not rebuild until the spot is free. 3. In TD, the repair bay does not allow queuing of units, if you select a group, one goes to repair the rest just stops their previous actions. In RA, everyone selected gathers around the repair bay and will automatically switch when the repair is done. 4. Engineer capture works differently between the games. In TD you can capture buildings regardless of how much HP the building has. But for RA, you can only capture critically damaged structures (shown by the change in sprite as well as the HP bar colour changing to red) having an engineer enter an enemy structure before that will make it drop to the next damage level (normal [green] -> damaged [yellow] -> critical [red]). As the AI will sell structures that they do not want you to cap a second or two after damage is critical, you'll tend to need two or more engineers for each structure if you want to capture it.

[@lindsaygibson2142]

Interesting, on my current playthrough of TD (I've finished the GDI campaign and have started on NOD), destroying their harvesters resulted in them not just replacing it but building a second one. No matter how many times I destroyed them they always seemed to have money to replace them instantly (even if I destroy them before they can complete a single harvest). I did notice on the last GDI mission that they would get "airdropped" currency into their silos every 30 seconds or something which made that mission ridiculously easy (I set up an MCV there, built a barracks and then sent in Engineers when the silos where full then sold and repeat for infinite money), wondering if that happens at all on earlier missions.

[@SebastianGraves]

Just commenting to say that on my TD playthrough (Finished the full GDI side of the single player) attacking a harvester provoked NOD to attack me rather quickly, and upon destroying said harvester provided NOD had the funds, another one was built to replace it.

[@hanzijing3485]

@@SebastianGraves Is that so, throughout my play-through they didn't bother and focused on building units to attack me until they ran out of resources, maybe it was a difference in difficulty setting, I started out on normal then switched to Easy after I was taking to long in one of my missions and didn't switch back. On RA I had kept it on normal.

[@SebastianGraves]

@@hanzijing3485 That could definitely be it! I had mine on normal the whole time.

[@SECONDQUEST]

Tib Dawn tip about harvester destruction isn't true in campaign. 10 b they always try to have 2, and repeatedly rebuild the refinery and then order a second harvested from the air strip

I'm kinda sad how Red Alert has this wacky cold war secret tech and sci fi shenanigans feel, but that the best strategy is always more tanks. 1v1 is just OG starcraft except that there's only 3 unit types: tank, rifleman, and harvester I've found the multiplayer to be more rewarding of creativity.

Red Alert pretty much started the "Tank Rush" tactic, haha.

[@ralfgartner7549]

lol a beginners guide for C&C1 Great i waited abaut 22 years for this

[@michamalinowski8015]

Tip: Refineries don't work the same in both games. Tiberium refineries require the harvester to "pump" in the tiberium for couple of seconds while ore trucks just dump the whole ore load into the ore refinery. That means there is no point to have more than one ore refinery per resource field in Red Alert. Build the second refinery closer to the field and sell the first for some additional credits. Having multiple harvester per refinery in Tiberium Dawn on the other hand can halt you economy so I try to not have more than two harvesters per refinery.

[@LuisCaneSec]

In that regard is it better to build a second refinery and sell it or wait until you have a war factory and build an ore truck from there? I've never actually tested this.

[@Daredhnu]

@@LuisCaneSec building an ore truck slows your building of tanks, so it's probably better to build a second refinery and sell it afterwards, it's cheaper too if i remember correctly

[@tidykun3707]

great video, thanks.

[@xtreme65]

Just a correction about the continuity of both the Tiberium series and Red Alert Series. Red Alert 1 is canon to both series' It branches out to the rest of the Red Alert series going on if the Allies won in Red Alert 1. It branches of into the Tiberium series if the Soviets won in Red Alert 1. The Soviet ending clearly sets Red Alert to be a prequel.

[@Andres33AU]

I feel like the Allies' greatest power, apart from being able to build large armies due to cheaper units, is the Chronosphere. There's nothing better than catching your enemy off-guard, by attacking behind their base and disrupting them by surprise, although this is more of a late-game power.

[@Adrock89]

I know in RA2 it was really powerful because it could teleport multiple units, like 9. I would often destroy my enemies superweapons by teleporting IFVs with Tanya in one. But in RA1 the chronosphere only teleports like one vehicle right? And infantry in an APC disappear. How do you use it effectively in RA1 besides maybe teleporting cruisers?

[@Naglfar83]

@@Adrock89 It's mostly for cruisers and even that kinda sucks because the cruiser will get sent back after a few shots. All the other units take too long to destroy an unprotected building before they get sent back, too. If you can somehow come into possession of a mammoth tank, then things might get more interesting. Maybe it is possible to use the chronosphere with the mammoth tank of an allied soviet player in multiplayer?

I used to love playing allies back in the day so here is my question: How do soviet have the advantage when I am building nothing but Medium tanks and ore trucks like a pez dispenser, gobbling up the map and making it hard for soviet player to gather resources? I use to be about my defense but eventually I learned that hordes of mediums tend to beat everything. Yes Tesla coils are scary but soviet don't have those where their ore is, so fight them there. Win, lose, or draw you do some much damage to the ore field that your pressure is rarely wasted.

openRA is the future

[@HateMachinist]

in the current RA 1v1 meta, soviets are completely unviable. They will be overwhelmed by light tank rushes every. single. time. Also interesting to note: tanks that move are impervious to damage from other tanks. the shells miss them. And the faster the vehicle, the easier it is to dodge shells with simple micro. Im not even particularly good at it, but I can still take out larger forces of heavies using just light-tanks, provided i have space to move.

[@2SK3TCHY]

LOL damn, you beat me to it! was actually uploading a video on that today XD

[@csnation]

Many of the old timers have being spamming light tank rushes since it comes online so quickly. Of course it is the only way to win out against Soviets. As Soviets completely turn things around in late game.

[@HateMachinist]

​@@csnation You'd think so, but not really. With proper micro, light and mediums don't even take damage from mammoths or heavies, and the fast movement will always allow them to dictate the fights. They will take damage from tesla, but all you need to do then, is seize map control and hog the ore for yourself.

[@trs8696]

first game pro tip: abuse sandbags and crappy ai

[@FirestoneX]

what should I do with sandbags?

[@hanzijing3485]

@@FirestoneX 1. AI does not target walls (sandbags/fences/concrete walls) unless from splash damage. So you can use them to make artificial choke points. They don't even bother attacking the walls when you completely block their move path. 2. build radius is confined to touching existing buildings so you can use walls to expand the area you can build. 3. Sandbags are the cheapest of the three wall types so the easiest to abuse. Concrete wall is not recommended for this type of cheese as some units cannot shoot over them, so AI ends up shooting it first when trying to attack something else. Hope that helps

[@hanzijing3485]

​@@FirestoneX Something I noticed after playing RA again; the build and wall logic is different between the two games. 1. fences/sandbags can be crushed by heavy armour (anything that can crush infantry can crush the cheaper walls) 2. walls no longer give build radius to anything other than walls 3. the build radius of structures has increased so you can build one block away from existing structures. (Silos take up 1 space in RA compared to 4 in TD so use silos to cheaply increase build radius instead) 4. For cannons used by tanks and base defenses, the projectile can pass through allied buildings but not through neutral/enemy ones, so you can actually use silos for defensive walls. Just keep in mind as it is a structure and not an actual wall, AI will sometimes target them. In summary, wall abuse is not as effective in RA compared to TD

[@Andres33AU]

I remember building structures far away thanks to my long line of sandbags and being able to build next to them. They fixed this in Red Alert so I did it with Silos instead, haha.

[@Naglfar83]

No, not really. But in the original game (and maybe in the remaster as well), pressing "H" sent you to your construction yard. So maybe you build the service depot right next to the construction yard, so you can access it as quickly as possible during a battle.

Yeah, IDK why depo, either. Not sure this guide is great, TBH.

12:26 what 100+ missions ? (161) :D

[@samalderman2721]

Does anyone play this game in multiplayer not just spam tanks?

[@killervacuum]

Are some of these singleplayer missions supposed to be totally bullshit? Like giving you a damaged base to begin with, telling you to "repair" it then not letting you build additional buildings or expand the tech tree? stuck with one slow harvester and a limited amount of money vs. a fully developed nod base seems impossible

[@lindsaygibson2142]

Some of the missions really do require you to be decent at 'microing' your units. That is issuing orders to individual units or groups of units to get the most value out of them. Other than that, it's also about working out the map itself. If you are stuck on a mission, you could always try moving all your units on a mad dash to find the enemy base and trying to find a weak point, some missions become a lot easier if you find an undefended side and hit it aggressively early on, once you find it you can just restart and try and do some damage early on. Just wait until you get to the mission with a damaged base and no harvester.

Why have less than 5000? Not sure how it makes a difference, you want more money, not less...If you have 20,000 you know you wont run out of dosh while producing tanks...

[@2SK3TCHY]

Mike, it's simple economics. If you're floating resources which can be used for something useful...use it, otherwise what the hell do you have it for. If you have 1 refinery working....but i have 5 refineries working..and we're both under 5k, guess who must have the larger army? jfc

[@dungeonmaster201]

You always want to be building something, having 20,000 resources means you are sitting on either multiple tiberium refineries/ MANY silos. The resources are capped to how many refineries and silos you have, refineries hold 2000, while a silo holds 1000, and silos make a very Profitable target for engineers.

[@MichaelDowComposer]

@@2SK3TCHY Ah right yes i got ya, i thought you weere implying some other reason. Yeah man build those tanks! Or a nice fortified maze of concrerete walls at the entrance to your base with 10 tesla coils. With 20 or so v2 sitting behind it.. NO way they're working their way around that before getting zapped

[@RichyRich2607]

What I hate about the campain is the fact most missions start with limited units and no base at all. Getting really boring after 5th time in a row..

[@2SK3TCHY]

Yea, game design in 95 wasnt the best - and they didn't fix that, wanting to stay true to its original version.

[@Naglfar83]

I think that's the most exiting part in every campaign mission (or at least in hard mode): Making sure your base survives the first 5-10 minutes and also earning enough ore in the process. There were some missions in hard mode which I needed to restart relatively often, just because my unit movement or the build order wasn't perfect for the situation. Even the placement of the construction yard can make a huge difference. As soon as your base is secure and you have a steady income, almost every campaign mission gets easy since the AI won't send 20 tanks at once all of a sudden and you have enough time to wipe the enemy off the map.

"We discovered APM" Ah yes... the most useless stat in all of RTS gaming.

[@Tomsie]

Well, it's one of the skill ceilings involved in RTS, the more you can actually do in a minute the larger the advantage you have over the next guy. Your APM in a game like Supreme Commander makes a pretty big difference as there's a lot of moving parts to juggle at any one time.

i cannot stand the unit pathfinding in this game lol. i dont remember it being that bad as a kid

As a 20 year vet ofTD... you're describing units, but are giving a poor example of how they can effectively be used in multiplayer.

[@2SK3TCHY]

That's where people like you should step in and make videos on your channel :)

[@achromicwhite2309]

@@2SK3TCHY Literally what I'm wanting to do... the multiplayer is a mess. Starting units and really bad maps :( I'm got some stuff in the works to try and get a ball rolling to get some fixes, though.
