Red Alert 2 - Reworked Allied Mission 12 (Blind Play-through)

[@juggernautx1779]

fun fact, the AI can rebuild his superweapons, but the conscript was blocking the Nuclear Missile Silo placement, as you can see he was moving around, when you destroyed his ConYard, the conscript stopped moving Great mission tbh, best of them all

[@tg.Sacred]

I was lucky then!

[@ygmsniper]

Oh! that's interesting! the moving conscript is the harbinger of the superweapon ready to be build on the same exact area. By destroying the conyards, it will stop the AI from attempting to rebuild the nuclear missile, thus stopping the confuse conscript from constantly moving. I think the best idea is not to kill the conscript if you want to prevent superweapon threats, just in case it is not possible to have a follow up plan to destroy the soviet mcv.

[@highwind9984]

and those MCVs as well, I keep checking if they will deploy it when I destroy the construction yard

[@whiterunguard4852]

Oh my, this mission really did test the RA2 engine's limits, didn't it? Could be worse though, much worse... and I seriously have to wonder what Red Revolution will be like. This was a fun ride, MadHQ really did do a good job. Making the mission bigger and better with more stuff to do, rather than completely reworking them. I have no doubt the Soviet campaign will be just as good.

Just finished playing the mission. I got overwhelmed in one point of the game where I _accidentally_ destroyed the St. Basil's Cathedral.

[@LynnSerp]

I noticed you almost always misclick the chronosphere a little, most notably around 35:30. This was an issue in the previous mission, too. I'm guessing in this instance it's the stress of how high-octane the mission as a whole has been so far.

[@handanyldzhan9232]

12:24 There were conscripts in their range, so I thought they'd hit them first anyway because in a Yuri's Revenge multiplayer match I saw, the Allied player used the waypoint method to try to destroy 2 battle labs (built for redundancy) with chronoshifted tanks, but they shot a civilian bunker first, wasting their shots. Does the waypoint mechanic work differently in YR compared to base RA2? Or do waypointed units always try to attack base defenses in their range first while they can ignore enemy units? Or was it your stop command that did the trick?

[@8eewee]

You're able to see a submarine in the water on the right side of the map for some reason. What's up with that? Is the psychic sensor doing that?

[@tg.Sacred]

To be honest I was actually wondering the same thing. It happened sometimes.

[@saquoiafighter]

@@tg.Sacred I understand where you are coming from. In the Flipped Missions mod, when you play the original missions you can't build superweapons, train SEALs, use enemy tech (you can capture buildings, but you won't get access to the enemy tech), build Nuclear Reactors and some more limitations. It provided me with some challenge since I couldn't rely on some high-tier tech. (Completing Polar Storm without having access to Nuclear Reactors, a Nuclear Missile, or an Iron Curtain was quite interesting).

[@tg.Sacred]

@@saquoiafighter I can see that they made quite a few changes to make them a bit more challenging but still replaying once again those missions with so few changes would bore the community.

The better thing about this reworked mission is individual AIs were given on each side of the map, compare to the original mission that the whole soviet battalions are controlled only by the red team.

[@hyperforce]

I remember this mission, not sure if the game was too hard for me at the time, but I always cheesed it used the chronotroopers to make an opening in the kremlins defences and the chronosphere to teleport out the apocalypse tanks. Completely bypassing and hollowing out the black guard while ignoring the rest of the base.

[@rendiorton499]

You could have tried chronoshifting one of the MCVs to your base where there isn't much defense to check if they deploy it, and then you could capture it. Idk, not sure if they'd deploy

[@tg.Sacred]

Your scenario is valid but the timing would need to perfect for it to happen. Just keeping the War Factory away was already enough.

@@reaperzdeath2 The Oil Derrick allowed me to build the War Factory far away from the other structures. Plus, having the Ore Refinery in my base I basically assumed I would need no cash.

The rest of the maps are just as huge and run fine without any stutters, it's only this one, which leads me to believe there's some issue with its optimization.

Yeah, I remember when I had a slower PC and large maps like that even from a 2000s game would slow down the game. Now, thankfully that's no problem for me. I appreciate MadHQs work, despite some minor things I would do differently. Like the props and the team colors. However, the main thing that I didn't like are some map layouts. They're supposed to look closer to the actual location right? Well, this last Moscow level didn't feel anything like the Kremlin area of Moscow. I would love to see something like a road or something around the kremlin walls and stuff with a layout similar to the actual city of Moscow. This one has too many factory areas and unmatching town parts, but the design itself is good so I appreciate all the effort put into it regardless. Now, I can't wait for the Flipped Missions if you do them. Which I highly recommend. They'll surely put a lot more content for your vids and they're super fun to play too trust me. One last thing. What do you know about the ore refinery gold stockpile that's visible on the structure? How is it affected and how is it changed?

[@tg.Sacred]

Even though my PC is 5-6 years old I doubt it would have any issues running RA2 no matter how much detail the map would have. I though it was a RA2 issue but if you could run this map fine I need to find a solution! Sadly, I know nothing about the graphic on the Ore Refinery but perhaps TAK02 can enlighten us.

[@Hamentsios10]

@@tg.Sacred After replaying that map today, I saw that my game also slowed down a bit before I took out most of the AI. With my little experience with video game making, I can assume that it's because the engine itself has limits set to it. And if those limits are stretched it's forced to slow down the CPU power focused on it to prevent crashes. Even if your PC can run the game perfectly at the heaviest situations. That's all I can assume.

The following is my thoughts regarding the game in general: Grizzly tanks are weak, but their absurdly short fire range is even more frustrating. I consider Harriers and Black Eagles unreliable because they self destruct when they run out of Air Force Command slots (sold or destroyed) and cannot be repaired (no cure from terror drones, one can only fly out infected ones until they crash & burn).

I think the scripted American paradrops should be limited to just a few runs in the starting area. Players (playing as America in this mission) can unlock it by having an Air Force Command anyway. IFVs have little use at the start of the mission, I wonder why they were teleported in first in the original mission. All they could do was slowly destroy the powerless Tesla coils in the perimeter then wait till aerial threats arrive. Better off sending in the Grizzly Tanks first.
