Cepheus Protocol Tutorial: The Basics

[@aweskome4894]

Thanks, played this a year ago and couldn’t find any decent tutorial vids. Just started playing again and yours is the only updated one 😅

[@FR0STB1TE9]

I will be posting a much shorter version soon. Just waiting on some new recording equipment to come in so stay tuned. :)

You should have put your engineer's on Sprint default stance, it might not seem like much but that little bit of time you save by having them run to where they need to build their thing rather than walking there can be a huge difference early on. Also I try to place my spotlights so that they cast a far beam out from the walls, just to help give an idea of how much I am dealing with. Along with all of that another thing to keep in mind is that it can be rather useful getting civilians to help with your income boost early on. Even if killing infected is your main way of getting more funds, actually going out of your way to try and save the civilians is a good thing to try as well. Sure it can be a lot of micro management, and at some point the infection will just become too much to try and withstand, but it is worth to at least try if nothing else.

Best pro tip for those SMAW users is to ensure they have clear LOS on the target. Lost SO many troops to these guys just shooting objects in front of them lol

[@shelbycome8398]

How are they shooting from a helo?

I like the patient zero being strong but its mobility is crazy. They should rebalance the game where patient zero takes one district and camps it to build a base. It makes sense too after all humans are killed they move on to next objective. Having levatians and juggernauts is fun too but they coming after 10 minutes is crazy especially with the swarm knocking at your door constantly. I like everything else and it needs some polish but if dev listens to me and does it then u have GOTY easy with 1 map lol.

Ye tell that to "BlackWatch". I bet they would like see nerfs on Alex Mercier and James Heller. :)

@@blacklight4720 Glad I'm not the only one who basically sees this game as: Prototype, but from blackwatch's perspective XD

[@FaustLimbusCompany]

You can disable the Leviathans luckily

[@blacklight4720]

They should really do something about scrolling. It really hurts the game in my opinion.

[@Sdroalaun]

its not a fictional city of treasure island, it IS the treasure island in the SF bay area.

[@TwigHasTape]

Yo, nice first video! I've got a question though, what difficulty were you playing on during this?

[@NotesandPens-ro9wx]

how to zoom in and out ? Can we change keybindings for keyboard?

[@Sdroalaun]

Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful, really cool game.

[@MrCrispy42]

This game looks really fun

[@jakelerio3710]

You sound like nicolas cage bro

[@PrimeNPC]

It is Nicolas Cage😮

[@Shadows_101]

this game is to hard... there is never enough time to get propper army or defenses to stop the infected.. and now last time i played a infected that turn into an egg and respawn when it die terrorized my defences... its invurnable sort of as it can not get totally killed... never seen that unit before.... pointless to defend against something that can not die.. it just keep respawn and take the fire away from waves of enemy so you get messed up...

[@PrimeNPC]

I think that's Patient Zero. She can only be killed with endgame ammunition I think you research. She spreads the virus. On my first playthrough I started on a small peninsula with 1 bridge connecting to another zone.. She spawned in that zone and basically trapped me lol. Try easier mode until you get the hang of it and use the early news reports to find out where the virus starts. In my second game I was lucky that PZero started on an island and I was able to blow the bridges and contain the virus. You could also do the opposite and isolate yourself on an island and then send in small teams via helicopter

[@webuser2014]

I think you encoutered 0 - the first infected. You can't kill it if you haven't reached a certain technology i think.

[@redcell9636]

Try turttling. It's okay to create a backing and slowly move your way through the zones. Focus on preliminary defenses and don't be afraid to create fast and light raid squads. Make choke points out of the bridges and such.

[@Shadows_101]

@@redcell9636 but if i take my time and move slow and safe like i normaly do .. there is not enough humans to save as they all have been turned.. and i fail anyway :) feel the need for better balance of the enemy of this game.

[@redcell9636]

@@Shadows_101 you have to get that started while you are in the midst of sectioning off your "safe" zones. You can create one or two spots where you can have the NPC civilians going towards districts you set for evac. Keep in mind it is possible, even if their is no infection debuff, some civvie pops can become infected, but are easy to deal with if you set up a drone or two doing a patrol route of the areas you have good control of.

[@txDDS]

as a basic tutorial goes this blows. You aren't explaining anything basic, you just clicking on a bunch of buttons and not giving any info on what you are doing.

[@matthunt7992]

when I load a game, i dont have the capture points or civilian evac tent, any ideas on why? (i bought the game 4 days ago and this is the most recent tutorial)

[@zuriumob1766]

cool !, a new patch droped, maybe you can check it out ?
