Fun fact: If you capture a GDI war factory, construction yard, or crane, you can use a war factory to make limitless omega-range juggernauts.

[@Nightmare-yx5dp]

for real? that sound crazy good

[@kanesnod6994]

if you offline the power to storm colums you can place things much closer its the ion cloud that prevents placement

[@mathgodpiextras]

Great idea! Why hadn't I thought of that before?

Pro tip

[@TheAimlessWarman]

Holy cow that’s a strategy the whole time!? All these years of remembering rage quit, just for a simple solution. This was amazing, I wish my Xbox didn’t break, so I could try this tactic.

[@mathgodpiextras]

It's available on Steam I believe. Also much easier to play on your PC than console.

[@ordinaryman5006]

@@mathgodpiextrasLooks like we have to follow your strategy to the letter or we'll fail. About ready to give up for good. Was this done with the latest patch?

[@mathgodpiextras]

@@ordinaryman5006 If you're playing on Xbox I can't guarantee success. You have to do everything really fast for it to work. Hard to do with Xbox controller.

[@mathgodpiextras]

I did it on the newest patch of the game so it definitely works.

This is "THE BEST" play for NOD Kane's Tower mission anywhere in KZbin mate! Better than HDW and iCabal gameplay. I think it was intended to be played like this, "protecting the generators". Thank you !😎 ✅ 👍🏻

[@mathgodpiextras]

Enjoy!!

[@FireFlash_TheUmbraPonyGuardian]

@@mathgodpiextras i've never played it like this, i always went with a commando to the juggernauts, put a base expander there, a vehicle factory, base defense and blocked the whole shit off so my juggernauts can destroy the lower base, but it was mostly hard especially because of the rng cause when i had bad luck they just rush the scrin base. And yes i don't play the game on english cuz i'm german so i play it on my own language, therefore idk if i said the car factory correctly XD

HDW is highly sus. I don't like his videos.

Great gameplay, very cinematicly recorded; Watching you play makes me think the mission was intended to be played like this...

[@mathgodpiextras]

Thanks!! I had a lot of fun coming up with this strat. :)

[@ShadowVR2]

Very important tip with the Storm Columns: If you want to build near them, just power them down and then place the building. The storm they generate is what makes the area around them unbuildable.

[@mathgodpiextras]

Thanks!! That's a cool tip. I'll do that from now on.

[@frankenstein974]

This video has inspired me to play a Skirmish as Nod versus the Scrin.

[@ProfessorDoctorC]

Pretty awsome play. I just kinda wish you'd spawn the mothership just for the sake of overkill.

[@Wolfdoy_kicker]

Thank you for making this method I finally completed this mission

[@mathgodpiextras]

GG!!! I'm glad I was able to help you. 👍

[@calillusc4715]

I did it another way by using Emissary on a nearby tib field... Build some Obelisks and a ref there and you can defeat GDI's initial assault(which is why this mission was hard)... Train 8 vertigos and destroy them little by little.

[@mathgodpiextras]

That's also a great way to do it. 👍

[@Camille-jj3qw]

Impressive, this mission ever be hard for me, I will try your strat. Never understand that scrins doesn't attack us !

[@miasma529]

Why did the Juggernauts stop firing at the Phase Generators? Was it because they got bugged by using the Phase Shift power? This was the most difficult mission for me, and now you gave me a reason to go and replay the campaign

[@mathgodpiextras]

The juggernauts are bugged. If you use the phase shield on the generator they're firing on, they stop firing completely.

[@jaydenritchie1992]

mmmhmm, if you capture them they arent normal juggernaughts they do bugger all damage

[@johnroscoe2406]

I kinda get the feeling this is the way the devs intended it to be played (capturing Scrin/setting up shop there). Considering this mission is absolutely insane trying to play it the traditional way, and considering that the Scrin will ignore you if you 1. don't attack them first and 2. don't build defenses that will target their buildings while they still have them (since that's considered attacking them), I feel it was designed to highly encourage the player to try this. Even the name of the mission implies it as sort of a double meaning.

[@mathgodpiextras]

I think so too.

[@KD--sj8eo]

If the ion cannon fires on you use the wormhole to send engineers to capture it, but make sure to send something tanky through first to take the fire or use a lighting spike!

[@mathgodpiextras]

That's a clever trick I should try sometime!

[@BensonCaisip]

I hate how this is the most difficult chapter in the Nod campaign, and you're starting with just 10,000 cash.

[@rjbrewster9845]

Why didnt GDI fire the ion cannon?

[@mathgodpiextras]

A glitch in the AI prevents them from firing the first one.

[@rjbrewster9845]

Oh thats weird every time i do the mission they fire the ion cannon at my scrin base. but thx for replying i really appreciate the tutorial and the time spent to make it!

[@FRSNR]

how do you instantly queuing up to 5 unit? what is the hotkey?

[@mathgodpiextras]

Hold shift on your keyboard while you left click on the queue.

[@FRSNR]

@@mathgodpiextras thanks! Been playing this game since 2008, but didn't know you can queuing up multiple units. Btw loved the video, this mission aways pain in the ass. I'll try this method someday...

[@mathgodpiextras]

@@FRSNR Cool! Thanks for checking out the video. :)

[@CryoxR3AP3RX]

Its nice to see a casual player who actually abuses the game mechanics, selling structures, countering units, and PROPER harvester to field ratio :D

[@rhekal181]

Sorry if I've missed something obvious but how did you get the juggernauts to stop attacking, all I can see is that they suddenly stop? Otherwise great video!

[@mathgodpiextras]

If you use the stasis shield on the inhibitor that the jugs are firing on, they stop firing permanently. Basically it's a flaw in the AI.

[@lucasworden1017]

Yo wtf? Watch 8:30. What the fuck are their missiles doing?

[@mathgodpiextras]

Yeah those storm columns make rockets fly off in random directions. It's pretty funny.

[@TheZoobZoobs]

How come Scrin isn't hostile towards you? I get shreded if I get anywhere near that base.

[@mathgodpiextras]

In the first few minutes, they don't attack you if you don't attack them.

[@johnroscoe2406]

@@mathgodpiextras they actually won't attack you at all, ever, as long as you never attack them (this includes if you build a defense structure too early and it autotargets a Scrin building, they will start attacking you). It's not timer based.

[@mathgodpiextras]

@@johnroscoe2406 I once played a game where they started attacking me after a while, even though I only ever attacked GDI.

[@johnroscoe2406]

@@mathgodpiextras weird!

[@iqbalmohamadradzi4387]

​@@mathgodpiextras I think that's because your unit did attack them without you knowing because on guard stance, they will attack Scrin automatically.

[@richarddimeck4578]

Such a shame what they did to C&C4...these games are treasures

[@mathgodpiextras]

When C&C4 came out I couldn't believe how bad they butchered what was supposed to be the greatest instalment of the series. What a brutal mistake by EA to give us that nonsense instead of what we wanted... a full scrin invasion!

[@richarddimeck4578]

@@mathgodpiextras aye, it was horrific. I still think 'I'll give it a go' and can't even get as far as downloading it. I just play the older ones over and over. Hopefully they'll remaster all of them like they did the early few. We just have to wait

[@Trabazavr]

what a damn bullshit - GDI attack your base much earlier, all the time seeing hard difficulty and they start to attack after hal;f year, while in real they send huge army before you will get first obelisk.

You have to be careful in how you complete the mission. You also can't go too slow or it won't work.

[@assenort]

Hello again, brother. I was wondering when you played this mission the "lazy way", were you able to capture the southernmost alien Extractor? See pic for clarification: prikachi.net/images/Project2.jpg For some reason, I cannot capture this particular building with a saboteur. Wonder if it is just my game, or it is a common bug...

[@mathgodpiextras]

I have the same problem. The saboteur can't enter.

yeah it's everyone. weird.
