Red Alert 2 - Reworked Soviet Mission 11 [MadHQ]

[@ericorrin5748]

Such a massive attacks with both and simultaneously elite Apocalypse Tanks and Kirovs, a sight to behold.

[@kellereclub3828]

I've no problem with the vastly different Red Revolution as the original has already been played and remade to death. Nice to see this different angle MadHQ has taken a dive in.

[@cosmicvage7032]

This mission was so hard when I first played this mission I had to restart 6 times and think of a strategy to defeat all of the enemy but and I finally beat the mission after restarting a lot of times

[@Nobody-yt9gz]

We need from MadHQ to make the Mirage mission for allies with a very hard mode of soviets against u

[@kellereclub3828]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2KnZ3ejmaiLpKM This is the hardest version I could find. Kirovs inside.

[@Alstar]

Rave party at Kremlin. 2:30 Sadly its not one of those super push allies, it's more of a meat shield. 3:16 i was wondering about this aswell, i think its not possible to fit those on this map, although i'd like to see some more encampments like that along the way. 6:34 Yeah, MadHQ said that you cant kirov cheese this mission like before - but it turns out if you spam just enough of them you can skip 60% of mission. 8:44 Dodge harder bruh 12:25 If i recall correctly AI's have bonus powerplants just in case, so this may prove to be a difficult task. 16:19 Yeah you executed this attack significantly better than me, in my case all kirovs clumped up and fallen like flies :( 18:59 Well, i'd say with how powerful base infantry is usually, its about equally scary :P 26:25 Sadly - this would make attacks more annoying. Imagine all of those curtained terror drones... :D There is some weird visual artifact at 39:26, not sure what occured there. 42:00 Here is a fun fact: Did you know that Purple base actually consists of two separate AI's? I had no issues with this mission either. It felt significantly easier than vanilla version and i had couple of ideas of spicing this up by making AI fix all the bridges that lead to your base to open 2 more attack routes for enemy :P Maybe MadHQ will improve it a little bit once he is done with changes to Allied campaign.

[@Demonicdan3]

By Kirov cheese he probably meant not being able to finish the mission with just the 2 starting Kirovs, which is what speedrunners do in the OG.

[@Hamentsios10]

Would be nice to explore the whole map before finishing as well, since those maps are new and a lot of work gets left unexplored. Now, although I truly admire the work behind MadHQs maps, I have a few creative disagreements with it. One is more of a question than a complaint. Like, this is supposed to look like the real life Moscow region around the Kremlin right? Aren't there a little bit too many industrial buildings and too few civilian/city buildings/houses? I was expecting to see streets and blocks and stuff, but all I see are factories. The other thing is the enemy colors. It bugs me to see a Soviet enemy with blue color. It's fun when you start as a Blue Ally and capture Soviet buildings to turn them blue, but as a pre-placed blue Soviet enemy, I don't think I like it. It feels like the colors: Red, Brown, Orange, Mustard, Yellow, Purple, and maybe Green shades would be valid for Soviet enemies. I don't get why blue was a priority before any of the pre-stated colors. Despite all that, the work behind it is insane. I truly respect and admire it.

[@seltin1988]

beutifull work comrade general! the union is safe again, now to deal with the pesky capitalist...

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Guess we're nearing the end.

[@johndexterzarate6663]

....After playing Death's Hand, these looked like a tutorial mission.

[@Demonicdan3]

It seems green AI is also dead in your playthrough, it's not doing anything (almost every CNC KZbinr who played this mod encountered the same problem). Because it didn't attack, you don't have to worry about iron curtain at all. I don't know what causes green AI to be braindead, but sometimes if you restart the mission enough times he will eventually start to work. It's quite important, because green AI has an airport so he should be constantly paradropping your base so you can't just focus on attacking, you also have to pay attention to the paradrops. I personally like this more than the original, there's no hill to make holding off enemy waves trivial and the enemy doesn't spam you with yuri clones. The Yuri clone spam in the original is much, much more frustrating and annoying. Also I expected the AI to fix the bridge near your starting location once you progressed past a certain point so it can take a shortcut to attacking you, that would've been a really smart move. MadHQ also decided to keep the original win condition of nuking the Kremlin (AI doesn't repair the Kremlin), which is good. The only bad thing is, the map is so huge that Kirovs take forever to reach your base, you can actually fire a nuke off before any of them reach the nuke.

[@azxxvvv]

Hey tg, love your videos. But in this mission, my exprience is very different to your walkthrough, because all enemies are very active and they keep sending troops to my base. The green and purple base especially dispatched a lot of Psi-Corps and I lose a lot of my troops to that. I managed to finish after 2 hours (still under par time). Btw, I played this on medium, and I couldn't imagine how it would turn out if the enemies were as aggressive as I encountered when I'm playing in Brutal. Anyway, just sharing my experiences playing the reworked campaign. Keep up the good work!

[@chunpangwong3259]

there is a mcdonald outside kremlin

[@shinsenshogun900]

Yuri wanted to dominate the world with mind control, perestroika, and Burger Kong

[@MYAceb]

Well Sir, here is your ally. But enemy gets 4. Good thing AI has the mentality of "order & forget until attacked" cuz those engies and ivans could spread a lot of damage in unprotected areas they walked by. Rip all units destroyed by TG that belong to an ally. Also love the idea of unused Iron Curtain by enemy. Maybe it is me but I noticed that green did not do anything until pink got almost destroyed?

[@shinsenshogun900]

Unfortunately for MadHQ’s Yuri, this garrison commander of the airbase & Iron Curtain was too passively inept to guard the last line of defense

[@seltin1988]

would have been fun to liberate the other soviet bases instead of destroying them, there should be a psykic dominator to destroy and the base becomes your allied in the fight to defend the motherland!

[@basileusbasileon3369]

I wonder where exactly the original mission is supposed to take place. It's physically a lot different to the Moscow in Chrono Storm and Zofia says Yuri is hold up in a stronghold "outside Moscow", which would fit with how rural the map is. The loading screen appears to highlight Stalingrad, but Chrono Storm loading screen does the same, so Westwood most likely just picked the wrong area. The city is built like a fortress and the major landmarks other than the Kremlin are missing. It makes me wonder why Westwood used the Kremlin instead of a command centre. Maybe they couldn't be bothered making a new building by that stage.

[@frankriley9957]

Yeah! RHINOS & APOCS FOR THE WIN! 😍🔥

[@kommo1]

I have 3 problems with this mission. First is that you have an ally. Dont think it fits the vibe off the scenario. B: The enemy forces dont use attack move, so most off them get shredded while harmlessly driving past. And lastly, the Iron Curtain gets never used. In addition, I not a partuclar fan off the massive amount off dead space above the Kreml. Why is the map this big, if the target and almost all enemy structures are in the lower 2 thirds off the map. That being said, I feel that you pretty much played the mission as intended, with fortifiing the individual warehouse sections and building bases in defeated enemies.

[@AznOmega]

Mhmm, it could have been more difficult if you lost your ally to mind control, or if all of them attack moved at the same time while using Iron Curtain on drones or Apocalypse tanks. But this seemed more like a regular mission instead of the hellish fight to complete the mission.

[@kommo1]

@@AznOmega What I could have imagined, that your ally is controlled by a psychic beacon, that you have to destroy. Also that the purple holds back until you cross the river. Then he would repair all three bridges and unleashes a hellish attack with lots off Yuris and Kirovs.

[@jpuroila]

I mean, Zofia explicitly tells you that the majority of the armed forces are siding with you against Yuri...

[@kommo1]

@@jpuroila True, but at what point in the missions history did that ever held true? I for one, never felt like had the entire soviet army at my back, whenever I played Red Revolution. But as I stated. Im not against having allies. Im against immediatly having allies. Let them be con trolled my Beacons, that you have to destroy and Im fine.

[@diavoluxdiavolux3321]

Nice job brother😀😀😀

[@kellereclub3828]

2:25 Not me. I kinda spoiled mission 8 but not this one. There's really nothing more for me to add for 11 and 12 as you kinda mastered the Apocs playstyle which works because the Prism Towers are unchained in many/all MadHQ levels. So 11 and 12 should be a breeze. I'm just here to see if MadHQ had fixed the bug in the AI script where engineers from ally and enemy kept getting spammed to repair that bridge beyond the first AI (pink). Nope. And also see if MadHQ has fixed green AI - the one with the Iron Curtain who never attacks. Nope. 4:19 About those Oil Derricks, the idea goes that as long as you don't capture them, they're safe. 😉 You may take them only when things have settled or you've destroyed at least 1 AI. 6:05 that's too early. After some attacks you know the waves come from there and it will be difficult to defend that derrick in the forward position. Unless you act fast to reinforce the derrick. 6:40 tesla coil is good but add sentry guns or walls and that position will be rocking and rolling. Sentry guns to pop Terror Drones. 👍 4:55 Some structures can be strong. Don't rely too much on garrisons, though. If you are really fond of the garrison structures, I've suggested a few times to reinforce them. Like in the OG red revolution, the small houses were always meant to fall early - hence some cannon fodder are needed to tank the damage. At this juncture of the game, you've already established where attack lines arrive and understood you've to defend the derricks, yet we see your Kirovs doing nothing. Once MadHQ removed the waves of attacks, the Kirovs also forgot their job has been to force bomb the ground. V3s can force fire ground too - I've concluded that's their optimal use - there're no other areas/situations where the V3 can do well in particular that other units can't - even in sieging, Rhinos with Iron Curtain rushing the Con Yard is way smarter than slowly chipping away at outside defences with V3s. That's why hard missions are a blessing - they force you to use units optimally and play better. 7:23 They're just a few Apocs that your tanks can finish off and gain veterancy - Conscripts and garrisons are not the right tools for Apocs. Let the tanks do something. 10:14 Nice finally that Oil Derrick has a nice defence formation up with conscripts at the fore to tank damage, a sentry gun to pop terror drones, flak cannon. Very nice. 👍 16:52 Attack on pink was ok. I can see why no Apocs though, Yuri Clones counter them quite hard. 18:30 There - another attack line pathing discovered. Can line Kirovs up and force bomb the ground. 30:03 Nice combining waypoint and move-to-area and attack. 40:32 Don't know why the Apocs are prematurely brute forcing through Tesla Coils at the Kremlin. There's still so much to see and do on the unexplored right side. Purple is actually 2 AIs has 2 Con Yards and are controlled by 2 separate AIs - disabling power for the one AI does not disable power for the other AI. 42:57 Indeed. I have checked google maps and the fit was amazing. However the maps with the Kremlin could use more work around the double river - Allied 12 and this Soviet 11.

[@bojugai9174]

This one definitely not as hard as the original. The main difficult point from the original is the cliff terrain such that you cannot secure your steady source of income. This one though, your base is quite protected by the water, and with quite abundant area for you to put buildings.

[@classicplayer592]

Everything in the mission is kind of cool, except for the fact that we have an ally on the map, which, as for me, makes the mission a bit contrary to logic, because in the original we had to crush yuri's army alone, and it seems to me even if the westwoods wanted to add allies to the maps, they would not have added them to this mission

[@RealKemonoegen]

Comrade general you are proving even more tenacious than I thought what a great threat you are to your enemy do me this favor grace me with your presence in Moscow so I may thank you in person.

[@anhtule3117]

Why don't you split your Kirovs? They keep rotating and their performance is not maximized, and the enemies keep slipping under them. If you split them, I believe most of the enemies can't pass.

nah this was a cakewalk, even compared to the original. So many structures to garrison to hold off early waves and an ally to attack with you reducing enemy numbers. It was just a slog to get through each base to the end but never real danger of being overun.
