Can you beat the C&C3 Tiberium Wars GDI Campaign on hard without losing a single unit?

[@Psyminette]

Seems Kane has blessed me with many devout witnesses on this particular video. Thank you all for watching! Many comments were pointing out the loss of the APC at 8:17. I want to clarify that footage from failed attempts are used throughout this video, particularly when I am trying to demonstrate a point (the point in this case being that the rocket squads and attack bikes are dangerous to the APCs). The NOD part will take a bit longer than usual due to school related stuff and what not, but it will come. Stay tuned!

[@ethanfrench9111]

In Croatia, you mentioned that the rocket soldiers outranged the watch towers but they actually don’t. There’s a weird AI oversight or something that still allows you to manually target the soldiers but being on the very edge of its range doesn’t provoke the auto targeting of the base defenses.

@@barone8889 Yep, those scrin missions csn be painful. Additionally, I just remembered that the turret issue only exists on the latest patch smh

[@tba113]

As best I can tell, the issue has something to do with how the game thinks of infantry squads as a single unit, but also balances having multiple soldiers in them that spread out from that center point with their own individual stats. Basically, the AI is really annoyingly good at certain types of micro: the _squad_ can stand just outside the range of your gun towers, but the rocket troopers themselves aren't standing on that centerpoint that represents the squad as a whole, and the gun turrets only react to the squad wandering into range, not necessarily any individual trooper. That allows one trooper to step _just_ into range and fire his weapon at the guard tower, without being automatically lit up in return. Since the squad (or its center point, anyway) is still outside of the gun tower's range, it won't automatically light up the enemy rocket trooper - even though the rocket trooper close enough to shoot is close enough to _be_ shot in return. It's kind of annoying, since microing enough rocket troopers to matter and knowing _exactly_ where to have them stand is mostly a computer-only thing, but it's still _much_ better than the blatant cheating the AI did in the first few Dawn of War games.

[@barone8889]

@@EpslionBear It is way too OP though and it does not help that it can only be targeted by anti-air units. Which is even more problematic for GDI campaign as they do not have many anti-air units. At least Juggs can be targeted by all units.

Tiberium Wars was really the pinacle of RTS games. Rich story, setting and gameplay, and Hollywood grade actors in Hollywood grade production live action movie sequences between the missions. What other game came close during the time? When did we ever get an RTS with that kind of investment from the studio? Arguably, the Multiplayer gameplay is better in some other RTS classics like Age of Empires or Starcraft, that's why we are seeing huge competitive scenes for these games.

You can also infiltrate the base in the prologue by airdropping missile troops across the river on the Southwest side and picking off their turrets while making bombing runs on the Northeast side to divert their attention so they'll never attack your infantry. I like to garrison them in the old town in case a stray Scorpion gets a little too curious. Garrison in this game in general is insanely strong, and riflemen can generate a new structure wherever you want, so you can construct trenchlines around important points and bait annoying vehicles into wailing on them while you indirect them with long range missile attacks instead of trying to maneuver your infantry around the edge of their aggro range and hoping they don't get insta-killed
