C&C: Tiberian Dawn Remastered - "Origins of the Wolf" - GDI Mission #9: In the Name of Kane - Hard

[@trentvlak]

Finally! Although I'm really confused. When I play it on normal, I deploy my mcv immediately in the lower right, and with perfect play I can juuuust get enough medium tanks produced to fight back the swarms of NOD vehicles. They seemed to hold off on attacking you for a long time. Barely any infantry came out of the northern base. I wonder if Lilith toned down this mission at some point, or if you got lucky with a NOD base traffic jam.

I'll be honest I've no idea why the AI was so calm and relaxed on this mission, it hasn't been updated since I uploaded my video on this mission. The AI should begin steamrolling units at you after about 3 minutes in. I would think it was another traffic jam issue with the AI unless the mission was edited, but C&C gameplays only really does that to make it harder not easier.

@@x-Lilith-x The AI in your video seems about the same I experience when I play. Truly a mystery here.

@@trentvlak I'm doing a redo of that mission shortly since my upload has no sound🫣, so I'll see how the AI behaves

OK guys this mission's AI autoproduction triggers felt like a real mystery at first: On my first 3 tries the AI began it's autoproduction just a second after the MCV arrived , I deployed at the middle of the GDI outpost but ended up getting steamrolled by the AI's tanks really quick.. ;x On the 4th try however things literally went from 100 to 0 as to my surprise the AI suddenly didn't build anything at all , i've already made it to a point where I began building Mammoths and yet the AI was still completely apathetic , since things felt really dull I decided to quit and open the map with the editor to see what's up After opening the map with the editor things were now clear , it appears that your MCV is supposed to trigger the AI's autoproduction by "stepping" on one of the cell tag positioned at the bottom right area of the map yet funny enough your MCV arrives from the bottom east which isn't covered at all with cell tags so yeah it can be very likely for your MCV to miss those cell tags.. 😅 Anyway now that I knew what's going on I decided to "soften" the mission a little bit for myself by delaying the AI's production for a while (I activated the AI's production on 11:24 by sending those Medium Tanks to the cell tag area) but mainly because i'm not really sure that this mission is doable the right way on hard (at least for me ;P)

@@CommandAndConquerGameplays I really appreciate that clarification as I just double checked the production trigger and holy moly yeah that's a big woops on my part. Originally in what I can only describe as the alpha build of this mission your MCV was supposed to arrive from the south but somewhere along the lines I changed it to the bottom right (east) just to make it so GDI came from the East and Nod from the West, small detail, in that instance I forgot to alter the production cell triggers so yeah its somewhat easier to accidentally avoid the onslaught of Nod, I can't believe that blunder has been in the mission for that long, I feel ashamed now😱 but thank you for discovering that

Thanks comrade! ;D

Great video. Is this the normal speed of the game or is it sped up?

[@CommandAndConquerGameplays]

I'm always playing on "Faster" game speed ;) Glad you liked the video! ;D
