1) is it not affected by the tiberium vein 2) that was a weird design move by Westwood to add that in as the "final boss" 3) it veteraned very fast 4) it's considered a building even in Mobile form? Judging by the selection frame

[@nelax4768]

There's a specific INI flag that gives it the selection frame (along with EMP immunity IIRC). Otherwise, it's no different from any other vehicle unit. There's another flag that gives it vein immunity, like Wolverine's and Attack Buggy's have.

[@s-man5647]

[@someguy1747]

@@TheCNCChannel actually they did gained something from the remains of the Core Defender, its schematics and designs of a bipedal walker which formed the basis of the Black Hand's Purifier Warmech the predecessor of the Avatar Warmech which fought in the Third Tiberium War and also by design extension the Redeemer Nod Epic unit which technically is its spiritual sucessor in terms of an overpowered single unit of weapon of mass destruction.

[@TMoDDD]

Cabal failures was the reasob for the creation of Legion that was more loyal and efficient AI.

[@someguy1747]

@Toutab They did but I headcanon it's likely the remains of the Core Defender and whatever they salvaged in CABAL's Core accellerated Nod's research into Walkers. What is the First Walker of Nod? The Black Hand "Purifier" Warmech a HUMANOID-like walker same as the Core Defender which is the "Avatar" Warmech predecessor under the "Black Hand of Nod" Military Arsenal, It wasn't until the apperance of the MARV that Nod developed another Walker the "Redeemer" based of the Avatar design and since LEGION who is CABAL's sucessor was spearheading the attack at ZOCOM's MARV facility probably sift through his database conciousness the designs of the Core Defender had a hand in designing it.

[@mierzhen]

*Stares at CABAL* "Look at me. I'm your salvation now."

[@truefeelke]

You can also highjack it should you edit the INI. Infact, this unit was the exact reason why the highjacker was disabled for this mission. Can you just imagine CABAL's face when the defender gets highjacked? Him laughing hysterically while the defender smashes everything, only for a drill apc to sneak in behind, offload a highjacker and take over the defender. Don't think he has a compensation for that miscalculation xD.

this thing can even lvl up omg xD

Reminds me of one of my cousin when I was little... I remember he had a mod where he built the CABAL core and core defender, but ended it by launching the world altering missile which killed everyone, destroyed everything, and covered the entire map in Tiberium before declaring victory.

How can you get an engineer through firestorm to captire the buildings?

[@Zelinkokitsune]

So can you repair it? And if so just how much does it cost to fix it, much less how LONG it takes to fix that mountain of HP

[@TheCNCChannel]

Should be repairable cos it’s classified as a vehicle. Good question I should see what’s the cost

[@gmichaloski3367]

@@TheCNCChannel the cost isn't that much which is why it vets so fast

U guys need to seriously put up a video about how u edit the .ini file , that’ll really help . Grew up with this game but i still need more of it and how do u even build the defender on skirmish. Pls show us

[@TheCNCChannel]

I did this quite some time ago so I can’t remember the exact details. All you have to do is go to firestorm.ini and change the parameters for the core defender (the structure, not vehicle)

[@PsychoSavager289]

Does it naturally gain veterancy that fast or was that more INI file tinkering?

[@brendanhinderliter6627]

Just thinking, who would win? Volkov, or the Core Defender? Both are badass and almost invincible.

[@CaveyMoth]

Core Defender’s weapon is far more powerful so it wins

Core Def would melt volkov. Has a rapid rate of fire too.

@@TheCNCChannel I bet Yuri could win...with "the power of pure intellect."

[@aceshighdueceslow]

so does that mean the Core Defender can't be repaired? All those pickups by the carryall I would've thought at some point you'd bring it home to get repaired

[@macktrack9717]

It can actually heal in tiberium like the cyborgs.

[@ChaosXeronix]

@@macktrack9717 omg for real T_T

[@adamfreeman1219]

Can repair it as any vehicle by mob rep vehicles or service depot. Takes an age though as you can imagine with ts massive hp. I just put 8 mob rep vehicles all round it.

[@SoldierOfFate]

It's possible to repair it. It'll take an eternity though because it has 10,000 HP.

[@Koronia047]

Have you ever played Mental Omega? It's pretty much a supermod for Red Alert 2 YR. They have their own campaign and story/lores. The missions themselves are quite challenging, it'd be nice to see you make speedrun vids of those :)

[@TheCNCChannel]

I’m considering it but that would be after RA2 is done

[@isekaiexpress9450]

Cabal: "Good that i'm just a part of terrain..."

[@adamfreeman1219]

Yep. Love the core Def. I have it buildable for a respectable 10000 credits in my tib sun ini file changes. Also requires temple of nod tech centre and nod pyramid to be buildable and also has 1 build limit, just so you can't take the piss lol Also re deploys and undeploys at will.

[@embrikchloraker8186]

Why would you ever deploy it, though? Other than a full repair with an Engineer, I don't see much of a tactical advantage.

[@TheCNCChannel]

Under the original ini it’s invincible when deployed

[@adamfreeman1219]

For me it's mainly for my Base ocd. I like to build a "pretty base" and the ability to deploy it satisfied my base build lust as it sits walled in next to my most critical structures at the back of my base ready to give the enemy a fright when they think they've nearly beaten me, stealthed with a generator too of course ;) ..... lol

How did you got that engie there in the first place? Pacmente and perpetual firestorm walls all around ... Edit1: Did you hovered an MCV and build a brarracks inside it? Edit2: So that's how you did... I run the game under ubuntu and didn't bothered with the ini file so it didn't worked...

[@paybackbadass4262]

How do you capture It ?

[@adamfreeman1219]

Have to make it capturable by changing it in the ini files settings.

[@adamfreeman1219]

Even though I have it down as non capturable, for some reason when I play a skirmish an enemy engineer can still capture mine ..... gave me a right shock. Went to squish him and he entered my core Def and turned it on me ....

Will there ever be a discord server for your channel? You seem to be one of the last active cnc youtube players it seems lmao. Also have you taken a look at mental omega and possibly doing some videos on it?

CncNet has a discord so i think that should suffice unless there are other perks that an individual player’s discord can offer. I’m not a discord user so I can’t think of anything else to put there. I’m considering Mental Omega but that wouldn’t be so soon, I want to explore TS in more detail and then move to RA2
