EVERYTHING IS FREE - Command & Conquer Remastered

[@StuGames]

Let me know what you think about this format and what suggestions you have. Team matches and Free For All are coming up if people enjoy this one!

[@RealSeekerOfTheTruth]

Das good shit!

[@Deimos_Fresh]

Try to change sides on same maps. And I'd like to see some vertical maps.

[@LadyQ_1169]

Are you able to do teams? It'd be cool to see 2v2s. Side note, I'm amazed at how balanced this old game is.

[@knusperkurt]

i want to see V2s ;)

[@Merrinen]

You could change the audio balance and make sound effects less audible compared to the music.

The soviets seem to keep builiding defences to the right - why not swap the MCVs around and see if that makes a diffrence?

[@Dazzxp]

Yeah I noticed that too

[@SoulKiller7Eternal]

Yea switch the Allies to the Right and Soviets to the left and see if that has any bearing on the outcome.

[@sarahd2623]

I was getting so annoyed at their less-than-stellar Tesla deployment xD

[@ChristIceman]

It how it programmed, it weird even in skirmish they would do that which is stupid

[@theblackantonio]

The allies did that too (building static defences on the wrong side that is). Problem was that the need to build power meant that soviets weren't building double war fac. When soviets have double war fac, they win. I agree tesla coil was the single cause of soviets losing.

[@ThePrinzKassad]

Just a question... Why the F *oof* does the AI build base defense MOSTLY ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE WAR?!

[@General_Xrex]

i just dont like how the soviets building their static defence in back and their power in front

[@SJ23982398]

[@SJ23982398]

@@exenter2 Really this game is open source?

[@iainbagnall4825]

@@SJ23982398 I believe source for recently remastered edition was released although best bet would be to build any ai customization around OpenRA which is an open source re-implementation of the original 90's engine/game using original assets, as the mechanisms for OpenRA and modability are probably better documented.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Tesla coils in the back, power plants in the front...

[@HudsonAO8TQ1]

The AI does this in the PlayStation versions of red alert/retaliation too. It makes skirmish maps a bit boring as they usually clog up their base with units and defenses so they can't move. At least the pc version you can fix it with mods. Fun game though.

[@Ramschat]

Nice reenactment of the battle of Winterfell

[@stefanavic6630]

Battle 2: Soviets built only one factory vs Allied 2 factories. Why wouldn't you build 5 an click tank until your finger goes numb?

[@sc4ofi31d]

Ai logic.. Need power for their useless defence and screwed themselves over by only placing a single war factory

[@SVASH-hz5ji]

It's almost always decided by who can build the second war factory.

[@ZhaoYang221]

Noice

[@sintupoy8428]

You don't understand do you? Tesla coils are not there to protect you. *You* are there to protect Tesla Coils.

[@Kutan]

Kinda shame they don't go for Advance Tech. Wudda been interesting to see how things would change with Mammoths, MADs, Chronotanks and like thrown in among the rest. If there were some AI mods available, I'd love to see them pitted against eachother in this format.

[@MrCantStopTheRobot]

It's kinda funny how the RA and TD computer opponents are so simple, relative to all the options available.

[@333Tonberry]

They dont have the space, you can clearly see they have a build order and they run out of room before they get to the radar dome.

[@Taki_4869]

Using a MAD tank in your own base?hmmm

[@thomasgarcia8332]

Another critical factor is build time. Maybe with more space to put more war factories to cut down production time on the big guys

[@meowistforlife]

@@333Tonberry as someone who has played skirmish way too much, that won’t solve that problem, AI never builds air or tech center unless told to, trust me, and you can forget super weapons

that preventing clogging thing is very smart, i like it

[@sliptap]

I have no idea why I love this series so much. Thank you for putting together for us lol

[@DomesticatedCantaloupe]

This series is fantastic. I look forward to seeing much, much more!

[@faulcondelacy5880]

Soviet was limited by its ai.ini (space between building parameter) so have less numbers of barracks and factory count and failed easily. u put both sides on open ground with larger building area, Soviet will surely win.

[@TheAirborneRogue]

Came to say this ^

[@ordinaryhuman5645]

Yeah, they have the better units and base defenses to benefit from the free cost, but the limited space combined with prioritizing power plants for poorly placed tesla coils is pretty crippling.

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

There's also the Kennel... I wonder if the AI counts it as a production building, and therefore doesn't increase to 2 War Factories and 2 Barracks?

[@Marcusianery]

Yeah but unlimited ground would also mean more ALLIED factories.

[@meghan-d1108]

Pink and cyan on a white field... I see what you did there.

[@louie55ish]

I really enjoyed watching this for some strange reason!

[@Taterzz]

i'd like to see it modded with full tech on both sides, a larger map, and some water spots for naval warfare. maybe throw in some randomized starting locations? soviets kept pushing to the right for some reason, which is weird because communism is a deep left idealogy. that's some meta shit.

[@StuGames]

Unfortunately you can't get too crazy with this because the game will start lagging uncontrollably.

[@MasterJay1985]

I look forward to every video of this kind, that you make. Fantastic job!

[@ridewithhephaistos6283]

This was awesome btw, thank you for bringing back all my fond c&c memories

[@mrtar01]

I would love to understand what optimisation factors have been incorporated into the AI to lead its decision making, e.g. where it decides to place buildings, which units to build, etc.

[@albertakesson3164]

Unless Soviet is able to build two War Factories like the Allies - the match is already done in favor to the Allies. Soviet units are heavier and less cost effective. With unlimited production Soviet would have beaten the Allies all times out of three. In theory thay is =)

[@HudsonAO8TQ1]

Yeah if Soviets can get 2 war factories it will always be win to Soviets as the allies waste time making APC and jeeps and weak units that don't benefit in this scenario

[@Raptorlj]

soviet lost because of tesla coils, it needs more space for powerplants which slowed it's production on tesla tanks.

[@MrCantStopTheRobot]

Also the interesting tendency of the Soviet AI to place most of its coils against the back edge of the map, away from the enemy until it's too late.

[@HudsonAO8TQ1]

Cool video. The allies at a disadvantage though. Soviet build queue: heavy tank, tesla tank Allied queue: APC, jeep, light tank, artillery, medium tank If allies only build med tank they would probably do way better

[@davekavanagh7599]

I liked the Soviets early strategy of flooding the front line with powerplants to sponge alot of enemy fire, giving them an edge, but the allies really spied that straight off

[@Daxter250]

lol dat gun turret on top of the ref in the last match is a true MVP, destroying the sovjet construction yard all alone!

[@chankljp]

Shame that it didn't survive the battle. Otherwise, whoever was operating that turret would be in for a medal after the war!

why so much artillery from the Allies? Coulda just kept pumping medium tanks and been better off, at least they can take a couple hits before blowing up

I remember that I did stuff like this in garrys mod with different enemy types. I love it. Please, if you continue making these, which I very much hope so, givbe both sides distinguishing colors. This time it was a bit hard for me as a colorblind person to keep the units apart.

[@saladhands1364]

Here both allied and soviets take the same time to build their initial tanks, which means the allies lose their advantage. C&C is speed (allies) vs power (sovs).

[@frostymourne]

This is so therapeutic. 👍🏻

[@ragerancher]

The fact the 2nd battle ends in time with the music is so satisfying. The AI? Not so much. Still extremely derpy.

[@srgfubar]

1 Army vs army on a map with a lot of brdiges would be cool to see how they'd adapt if the bridge got destroyed. 2 Army vs army with water involved first to see if the AI at all makes use of it.

[@StuGames]

Spoiler: they don't ;(

[@srgfubar]

@@StuGames Awww shame. Then 3. Suggestion. How about a 1v1v1? 3 AI?

[@emmalahti8205]

Allied, well AI logic: build 9 war factories exactly in the same spot where they get destroyed. Well, Soviet was doomed after construction yard was destroyed, or a minute before. Nice video.

[@zanartofwar7892]

Amazing content you have :D

[@fisk0]

Interesting how much seems to come down to target priority, the allies lost quickly when they didn't target the tesla tanks which were then free to take out the infantry. When they effectively targeted the tesla tanks they seemed to make steady progress into the soviet base. Of course, bad choices in buildings had an impact too - the soviets apparently preferring to build more power even when their last war factory was destroyed.

[@albertakesson3164]

I suggest you try the same sequence of maps, only switching sides between the factions. Two out of three times Soviet only builds one War Factory. This might have to do with the algorithm template for the AI. Both teams seem to place their structures in a similar way, with exception for unique structures. Chirality for this "base template" don't seem to mirror to compensate for each side. Both AI's just keep on building from the same semi-randomized order. I I'm not sure, but starting on the left side might be an advantage for pure technical reasons? Either way, great video!

[@Ashmodai]

7:00 Hero turret won the game...

[@zeroman0460]

THIS IS SO ENTERTAINING!!!

[@Krazytalk444]

Anyone else notice that any scenario where a tesla tank and ANY other type of unit was near the allies they went after the other unit? I think that's what cost them the first battle. Watching multiple tesla tanks survive longer than any other unit knowing they have such weak armor was frustrating.

[@adammclaughlin845]

In games, as in TV and films: don't ever bet on the red team. Ever.

[@mischaprudon3316]

Gotta love the ai building it's defensive wall in the back.

[@HunterOfDune]

[@ardaarsen]

Looks like Allies place structures more efficiently so they always end up with 2 war factories which is decisive.. or it has gotta do with faction specific buillding queue

[@adriansmith1896]

The Allied Turret in game 3 is da real MVP

[@thomasaitken1345]

Damned Soviet AI always building a doghouse and never sending dogs, and almost never getting that 2nd war factory built

[@Ghost3dOne]

I still think the Soviet AI is bugged. They seem to stick to about 5 units tops, while the Allies don’t and they build the full suite

[@Kajotex]

Soviet AI: One must always keep back protected best!

[@greatoztv4200]

You've seen it here peeps. This video undeniably PROVES that ALLIES are OP!

[@robbytherob]

This is a pretty cool idea. Kind of reminds me of bullet chess.

[@sollitdude1]

it seems to me that the allies would win more than soviets by default on small scale area's like these. their script seems to tell them to built that second war factory early on. if the map is clogged by units or other buildings, the soviets would be too late with building that second factory and will always lag behind in vehicle production.

[@sevensisters5496]

Thats intense, i play everyday, i love C and C. Fingers must be sore after that, keyboards broken.

[@bangscutter]

I notice something very peculiar. Why does the soviet AI build flame towers and tesla coils on the far edge back of the base, rather than at the front? The allies AI at least spreads out their defences.

[@WassaWaterline]

7:19 The bottommost soviet tank dancing :D Why do the soviet buildings always get simultaneously damaged? Like 3:35?

[@CathrineMacNiel]

that's when you lost power.

[@NLaertes]

"...Prevents clogging" Don't you mean Sovjet style traffic jams? :p

[@napoleoncomplex2712]

It looks like the Soviets have a difficult time massing up their army, but if they can hit critical mass, they can roll the Allies back and crush them. Also, it was interesting to see that the Soviets built a kennel in the last battle, but then never made any dogs. I think the Allies will tend to win knife-point engagements, while the Soviets have the edge in more openly spaced battles where they have time to mass up their superior vehicles.

[@blkmustang007]

Nice jazz jackrabbit profile pic.

[@njalsand133]

Seems like ai loves to build defences to the right

[@Dazzxp]

These small maps cripple the soviets because they don't have the room to expand so are always low power and are then handicapped further because they are always low power so can't place their end war factory and their main defences don't work while having longer build times.

[@GR1MRACER]

Reminds me of the C&C Generals Menu Screens.

[@RyanJacksonReverendRyu]

how about an all naval battle? either with an mcv on a tiny strip of land with everything is free, or an epic prebuilt naval battle?

[@derkatwork33]

Try a basketball bracket styled map. 8 AI with narrow pathways linking the first pairs. The AI will hopefully fight the closest opponent first. Then there will be a path that converges to the second area where the victors will fight it out in. They will need to defeat the very close enemy before moving on. The last one standing wins.

[@StuGames]

Unfortunately you can't do large maps because it will lag too much with 8 players pumping out free units

[@yumaikas94]

@@StuGames is there a population cap mod? Maybe that could work?

[@derkatwork33]

Dang.

[@oreocookiedough]

I would expect Soviets to be strong in this mode since they use stronger units in exchange of being more costly but if everything is free and instant that nullifies that downside

[@SuperCratoss]

Soviet would win all the rounds with just more build space like in the first round, they often ran out of space for power and Warfactory so they were low power.

[@theblackantonio]

Can we remove Tesla Coil from the matchup? That structure singlehandedly made Soviets lose.

[@UdoKrawallo]

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

So....why does the Soviet AI not build as many production buildings? Is it because of the Kennel, which makes it calculate that it has built enough? Is it because it's more focussed on defensive structures?
