Today I'm finally comfortable enough with the Foehn Revolt in the Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge mod Mental Omega v3.3.1 to give my first impression. Two key elements that I noticed early on are the important distinctions from the original factions which I'll discuss in the video. Looking forward to playing more Mental Omega in the near future.

You've been getting a lot of vieuws! #1 c&c channel!
hi
play Mental Omega 3.3.1 :D
The foehn is perfect for your friend the guy that hates dogs.
Just some friendly advice: you should wall up your labs (cloud piercer for foehn) to prevent enemy infiltration (all factions have spies) since stolen tech in this mod are ridiculous OP and counter the faction they're stolen from, and yes good players can manage infiltration if you leave them casually undefended.
true that, and foehn spies can move on water as well
Iron Dragon anyone? ^^
Epsilon also has Drillers - subterranean transports that can pop out of the ground and unload spies right next to your lab.
be careful if you're playing vs Yuri even if you have walled up your battle lab-- 2 Brutes and an Infiltrator will fit in a Driller, and the Brutes can drop your walls pretty quickly if you're not paying attention. if you're playing Foehn vs Yuri and you let them get stolen tech, it's basically GG because Salamanders OP
Extra walls if you drag a Scorpion Cell to full tech. Their Tyrants will blast through your wall with ease and make even Nod's Devil Tongue stares in envy
At least that's what I believe
Or if you're Foehn, just wall it with Stun Grids. When infiltrators pop in, "Ha! You fell for it!"
Dogs are not one-hit killers here and vanilla factions' Tier 1 infantry is much more useful than it ever was in the original game.
As for the Spinblades, they boost the speed of a wide selection of units, all the units which have a bright blue line behind them when moving in the game can be affected by it, most notably Minermites (harvesters), Jackal Racer (Tier 1 anti-infantry), Swordfish (basic naval unit) and Clairvoyant (infiltrator).
hi Speeder i love you xD
It's funny how my friends and I thought Red Alert 2 looked too weird and futuristic when it first came out, being used to the Aftermath. We couldn't figure out why the hell the Aegis cruiser wouldn't shoot anything, lol.
Spinblades appear a certain small amount of time after you click, and if a unit happens to be on that square at the exact moment, the Spinblade just won't appear, you'll lose $800 and reset the timer of the Spinblade. Be really careful about that. How to counter Desolators? Well, let's just say that if the guy in this video was Soviet, he'd be dead before he ever thought about unlocking them. They are a last tier unit. Also, make sure you use Jackal Racers. They are fast, amphibious, anti-infantry, can fire on the go, can carry one infantry that can fire from inside, and they also benefit from the speed boost given by the Spinblade. Very potent. Your Cyclops Walkers will do double the damage when they get close to their target, keep in mind, you'll notice by the Wi-Fi symbol above them. Those are all the things you need to know about your early-to-mid game, while playing as Haihead. They are meant for direct assault without asking too many questions, similar to the good old Russians. Your Knightframe is worth 8 Conscripts, keep that in mind, you can never spam as many units as anybody else, and instead of worrying about Desolators, worry about Initiates, basic infantry of Yuri. They are a lot cheaper, but still really powerful, outmatching both Conscripts and GIs, as well as dogs. But of course, please play vs Alstar, DarkEmblem, TeslaCruiser, Luna44, IsBack31, BlackSnow, AdmiralPit, and players of similar skill. Doesn't matter that you play with Foehn, they will eat you if you don't do your maximum. Alstar will crush you with the weakest subfaction by stats, Scorpion Cell. He will steal your tech, get Salamanders, BOOM you dead son.
To quote myself in my most recent Ghost Recon video: "f*ck Peta" :P. The dogs knew what they were signing up for when you paid them $200
MOre mental omega videos, please
+Bryan Vahey And BTW. Lancers are effective against tanks.
0:33 So instead of that crazy cat lady, you're the crazy dog gentleman. xD
You'll need more miners than what you got as Foehn given how small and fragile they are. And for longer games, be sure to study Nanofiber sync and learn what infantry is good against what when they change.
One example being Knightframes becoming Kingsframes, good against infantry and buildings, but lose AA abilities
And when you figure out the roles of each unit and apply em well, you'll certainly be much better with the faction. As for which subfaction to pick...
If you want speed + air power, Coronia is for you. If you want some close-ranged and high damage, Haihead is the way to go. And if you prefer slow, but very durable and defensive styles, definitely go with Bastion.
That's the spirit! Most have more than 8 miners, and you can use extra ones to take with you on assaults to heal your units if you have faith in your economy. I'm certain you'll get used to it in no time.
The Revolution Starts here..
early on with Foehn, i would suggest getting 2-4 Lancers and scouting with those instead. they do a lot of damage to vehicles, so if you manage to scout their miners, you could potentially take them out, or put on a lot of pressure to their buildings. i'm not a notable player or anything, but as soon as i get a War Factory, i'll usually build about 5 Minermites before getting any tanks, because you can easily protect yourself and harass with just a couple Knightframes and Lancers. ofc, if you're playing Haihead and you want to put early pressure, build only 2 or 3 Minermites, get as many Cyclopses as you like, then go back to building the rest of your Minermites. Foehn, despite their miner's very small capacity, can have an extremely strong economy with how cheap and durable Minermites are. not to mention they're versatile and durable with their very fast repair
it'd be really interesting to see you play some of the top tier players, like Alstar, AdmiralPit, DarkEmblem, Tyhednus, TeslaCruiser, Ultra7, Tube, KingKickass. if you see any of them, be sure to jump into their game. don't bother looking for Alstar though, he always goes by some weird name :P
Didn't know you could attack move before these videos... love them, good seeing a overview of the Foehn.
Spinblade doesn't really boost their durability, but the more miners you have, the more durable they are, because they keep repairing themselves.
Desos are quite a bane for the infantries yeah, which is what the buzzard is for. On the bright side, no more terrors harassing your miners because they keep removing it as they mine
You should be more worried on PsiCorps and Chinese though. They can stop your troopers dead on track to be picked off slowly but surely. Of course you can choose to Sync out your infantries to counter EMP, but almost every units are made of metal, bar the poor engineer. Even a boosted Megalodon bows before the Magnetic satellite.
Good vid bro! still waiting on your mental omega campaign :D
yay you played the new faction :3
NICE WORK BRIAN, UNIT READY!
I'm late with this and I'm sure you've figured it out. With Foehn, if you upgrade your Cyber Kernel, you can you get a new support power (which is expensive). But it allows you to upgrade your knight frames into King Frames, which drops their anti-air ability, but increases their defense and attack, making them extremely better at killing units, structures and infantry. It's worth the price, but not something to be spammed without the cash flow necessary. Also, Desolators are weak against Knight Frames, their base armor is equal or greater than a grizzly, so they tank a bit to kill and they can easily wipe away a desolator.
I would build 5-6 miners at start, unless I have good starting eco, which then I start with jackel racers
How about a detailed Mental Omega review? Especially in comparison to the original game.
Use Lancers to scout! They have good sight range and speed! And yeah as other said, get a lot of minermites, try to have as twice as miners as you would have with any other faction.
this factions models remind me of that one old PS1 game which reselbled RA really well. Can't remember the name right now but the models are definetly alike.
Where can i find more videos of the new faction?
nice, i like how you play
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on them balance wise however. Its easy to make a faction that will simply curb stomp all the other factions but its much more difficult to create a balanced one. You had a couple of comments in this vid that worried me, like the one about how certain units are essentially fodder, yet they hit hard.
Call me out if I'm wrong but I haven't see you play the Epsilon/Yuri's faction in mental omega yet. Any reason why? I would love you to try and play that faction too as they are all really cool in this mod. Anyways love your mental omega videos man keep them up!!
Oh, nice, I saw you playing today, so I expected a video, but I didn't expect Foehn game
By the way, while desolators are really powerfull against infantry like we all know, but they got nerfed in MO and while still powerful, they wont be oneshotting Foehn infantry, so you shouldnt fear them that much
omg this is me.. getting rekt..
those prism infantry are fucking useless.
the Siege Cadre and Prism Tanks aren't really good against infantry or tanks, they are more Powerful against Buildings and have higher range then defensive structures ^^
@@beosor4234 Yeye, just got into Mental Omega and at first it's pretty hard getting adjusted from vanilla. Prism was such an OP allrounder, but MO's more complex setup is better balanced.
On allied campaign the 1st mission with Sigfried (old radars and the nuke) we had Siege Cadre and Archon IFVs...poor man's prism tank is a nice siege sniper
I wanna see you do another mental omega match
seems almost OP
The miners can also repair vehicles
Hah! Don't call peta :D Nice touch! ^^
Sometimes the Spin Blade doesn't spawn when there's a unit in the way.
Anyone notice that the Cyclops seems to be heavily based on Tiberian Sun's Titan? They're extremely similar in appearance and even serve the same purpose as each other, both being the main battle tank (or walker, in this case) of their faction. Main difference is that I noticed the Cyclops is definitely faster and has that close range boost, but otherwise I'm positive Speeder used Titans as inspiration for this.
iirc he wanted to base it on wolverine before, but the model was never complete
IMO wolverine model would fit better, given how the cannons are shot in gatling gun speed
have you looked at any foehn units? at least half of them are heavily "inspired" by other games' units
Don't forget to download the soundtrack :P
for what I've seen the miners from foehn also act like healers for tanks :)
Epsilon? Yuri's video coming soon?
is it like the srin of CnC 3?
windtrap?! this straight from dune? are those sardaukars?
Wow i never saw this version of RA before, any source to play this? i don't even know what its called
The mod is called Mental Omega. Free to download and you just need to own RA2 to play.
more MO videos please and I love your vids too. Also you should try the hero because they are the best unit
when this 1v1 with kikio happening?
No music(
WHERE DO YOU FIND ALL THESE MODS! :O
:O
new game dude? tell me where can i get the installer. hahaha . i am very happy to watch you channel.
My life for aiur!!
I like these but your best vids by far are the multiplayer RA2/YR vids with no mods
I like it. I also like your friend that rages lol
desos are a lot weaker in MO, their aoe radiation thingy is a lot smaller and they take a bit to kill the foehn infantry anyways. also don't be afraid of losing especially when it comes to learning new units/mechanics/interactions. there is no better teacher than defeat
Those miners look kinda over powered. They look a bit faster than allied or soviet miners and having more of them,even though they can mine less ore, seems better for having continuous cash flow without the risk of insufficient funds. That's even better with that structure that speeds them up. The question is how much dmg can they sustain..
They repair eachother. So they're weak until you get a lot.
A starter unit that's good against infantry, tanks, air and can't be killed by dogs.. Hmm... OP much...
WeissberV only inf and air, they got nerfed, they cost 400
Fair enough. Armour damage is definitely too much, so that was a good nerf imo.
The lancers were the ones doing AT.
The power plant is literally the one in Dune :|
I still don't know what is this "Foehn revolt" ? There is no information about them, who are they ?
their missions are still being worked on, hopefully it gives us a enough information
The most popular theory is that the Epsilon (Yuri) Army won, and this is what's left from the Allies + Soviet
they key to play MO good is to understand wtf is going on on the screen
fohen is WAY to powerful in this game.
Infantry are too powerful for there tier placement
knight frames can kill over 3 times there numbers before dying
the huntress eats infantry for lunch and can handle everything up to a hero unit with NO difficulty, including tanks with her hijack ability. the clairvoyance is too cheap and earned too early for the residential spy unit. as there stun ability and moderate speed on top of being immune to dogs makes them nuts
the nano-fiber upgrade is just dumb as it depends on if you have a small sum of 2500$ to upgrade a group of units to tier three
the signal inhibitor is cheap and should just be removed outright
the air units are just insane for having no actual air port ect ect
but the faction is an amazing test-amount to this community and a beauty to see
more MO m9
don't call Peta lmao
omg, you didn't play as russia this time xD
I don't think the people you are playing against are very good XD Trying playing against one of the pros. They usually have a game open together on most days. Pretty sure none of them would mind being recorded.
Talking about RA2 animal abuse huh lmao
Very balanced starte infantry unit who can kill infantry,tanks and air and cant be killed by dogs. Yeah "very hard" and skillfull race it is.
They're very expensive compared to the other Tier 1 infantry ($400 against a $50 Conscript, $100 G.I. and $150 Initiate) and are vulnerable to basic tank weapons much more than any of them.
So does it mean that any infantry unit with "Plate" armor type is more vulnerable to tank weapons?
Mak Sim Not necessarily, thanks to Ares, MO probably has a lot of ArmorTypes for fine balancing.
Well, I'm just curious about what pros and cons each of them has
Learn the game, then speak.
