In RA2 you can have infinite Yuri Prime if you have Cloning Vats and a Hospital. When the previously damaged unit comes out from the hospital, it will be cloned at the same time. :D
There is. Just look for the Yuri's revenge discord channel and the CnCnet discord channel. It's not 100k people or anything huge, but there are enough people that you can comfortably play games online every day, you don't have to to queue for minutes. They make video, share content, organize little tournaments with price money and so on. Definitely pretty active for an almost 20 years old game
The reason why the game is still alive is cuz it's a good game there are plenty of games that come out now and within five years are completely desolate cuz they're not good games they don't have the same replayability
Your videos are greatly done and informative, not to mention that they have been improving since the Apocalypse Tank video. Hard to believe that you're the same one who made those Doom 3 ROE analysis videos, and I haven't watched those in ages. Anyways, my favorite tech structures are Oil Derricks, Hospital, and Machine Shop. Also plays a great role in one of my all-time favorite maps in RA2 Yuri's Revenge. Bay of Pigs.
I was a newbie back then when I was making Doom3 videos. But watching them now they are actually well made. My only concern is that I was playing on low quality. :(
@@tg.Sacred They are well made. The low quality doesn't matter that much compared to the results. If you would so wish, I can offer any suggestions for future games.
It grants you either Advantage, Disadvantage or nothing😂 roll the dice if you're a country other than france and got Grand Cannon from it, you're one luck bastard
Not sure whether this was mentioned in the comments. You missed one thing with the Airport. If you infiltrate a barracks with a spy, that bonus carries over to the Paradrop
One minor addition to the Hospital one: if you capture a hospital and have a Cloning Vat, any unit healed at the hospital gets a free clone at the vats. That was a weird bug I found during a skirmish game. For some reason, it considers any unit leaving a hospital as being 'trained', so produces a corresponding clone at the Cloning Vats.
They are not remaking RA2 yet I don't think. Am I missing something? They announced the remake if other 2 games in the C&C series, but not RA2. I'm sure they will get to it if the other remakes do well, but it's not official

One extra helpful gimmick about the Repair Outpost is that it can repair vehicles for free as opposed to the Service Depots of Allies and Soviets, and Naval Ports of all 3 factions (for Robot Tanks and Amphibious Transports). Dolphins and Squids are affected by the Hospital. As for the double repair and healing thing, I want to believe you, but I can't. Can you do a side-by-side split-screen comparison, one with 1 Hospital/Machine Shop, one with 2, and one with none?
hospitals and airports were good to me when combined with American Allied subfaction. Spam dozens of GIs at a time, they self-heal and as they promote up to elite rank they become nigh unkillable and eventually I end up with dozens of those, especially if they were able to camp in garrison buildings long enough to minimize losses
Oh man you forgot to include the bug in Multiplayer where using chrono legionnaire on Oil Refinery will basically stop it from providing 20$ funds even after legionnaire lets go of it
not that bug, he would have at least show bugs that have been fixed to prevent abuse.. like the tech hospital glitch where infantry without veterancy entering a hospital after stolen enemy wf tech would be promoted, or if you have a cloning vat, a new infantry comes out from there for free.
Finally a vid on those.. things, i definitely know what they r used for after 8+ years of playing the game🤥... ill watch the vid anyways tho😅 Gotta say! Like the new style of subtitles u use, and outro xD
That's because the secret lab have attributes in coding about what secret infantry, unit or building can deliver, which are empty. Those are used only for single-player maps. Very neat for custom missions in the modding community. :3
XD I do realized that Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge have many different tricks despite many imbalanced gameplay *cough cough* Floating Disks *cough*. I played all of them on hard difficulty. So that's why I played Mental Omega and Red Resurrection in order to continue the Command & Conquer reputation. EA SUCKS. Red Resurrection Update is now available on moddb website.
Tech Building in Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge *Oil Derricks* : I give you more money, you built more units... *Hospital* : Players...! Save your money, your infantries can live longer if you have me...! *Machine Shop* : Best friend of the Apocalypse Tanks...! *Airport* : Get your engineer in here, and you have few infantries for free...! USA: No, they can't do that... Shoot them, or something...! *Repair Outposts* : Come in Yuri, I know you need me...! Allied and Soviet: You fool, you fell victim to one of the classics blunders... *Power Plant* : Come in, and have more power for your base... Yuri's Bioreactor: I have better one, once my initiates supplied it... Soviet's Nuclear Plant: Chernobyl, make us proud...!
You forgot to mention that there's a limit of how many units you can get with special labs. I think only three. Capturing more Secret Labs beyond that won't grant you anything.
The only limit that exists is that you can't have more labs on the map than there are boons, else there are no boons at all. Vanilla has 8 boons total, I believe.
The only new things for me were ability of Outposts target ground units(always believed it to be simply Patriot with Repair Depot) and how Hospitals worked in RA2. Your job is appreciated. P. S.: Just to sate my curiosity, what is left to test and will you test psi-units(Mastermind, Yuri clone, Yuri Prime, Psi commando)?
No units left to test unfortunately. Those are hard to test and not much to show but I'll see what I can do. Currently working on random stuff. Next video will probably be about unit statistics.
I don't like that the explanation of the usage of every building when captured is disabled for some reason! I always loved it hearing: "Secret Lab captured. New technology available!"
@Black Albatross This is false. Machine shops repair Vehicle Units for 5hp every 75 frames and Hospitals heals Infantry Units for 20hp every 50 frames.
@@LNgKhoi Well no, the Apocalypses are still repairing by the time the Rhino is done despite it being more damaged at start. With 2 Machine shops (10hp regen/cycle), from 1hp The Rhino with 400 max HP needs 40 regen cycles for max health, The Apocs with 800 max HP need 54 cycles.
What Zerg Brood said. Also, the boon granted by that lab will always be the same. Like, say the lab gives you the Desolator. If you capture the lab as non-Iraq, you'll get the Desolator. If now you were to capture that very same lab as Iraq, you won't "get" anything.
I wonder if secret lab is able to give Black Eagle to a Soviet or Yuri player if they do not have acces to Airforce Command HQ? If so, what will happen in this case? Black eagles will not have a place to rearm themselves, so will they just self destruct upon creation?
If I'm not mistaken the secret tech lab can't give access to black eagles or paratroopers, but it can give access to yuri's clones and grand cannons, plus of course snipers, tank destroyers and all soviet's special units. In the video tg selected the black eagle when he was showing the special units that he unlocked, but I think he was playing with Korea already.
Getting America's paratroopers is only possible if you capture the ACHQ built by an American player, be it AI or human. This has to do with the fact that there are actually two ACHQs in-game - one normal for everyone, and a special variant for the Americans (to which the Airborne SW is hooked). The only way you can get the American Airborne superweapon is by capturing the ACHQ that has the Airborne attached to it, which in turn can only built by Americans. It can still be placed on maps and captured with engineers by everyone, however. It's ID is AMRADR, if you're interested. As for the Black Eagles: there is no flag in the original YR to accept AircraftTypes (which is what the Black Eagle is). "The original Secret Lab system had three separate global flags to control the boons and did not allow for AircraftTypes to be granted. Secret Lab logic also had some flaws which have been resolved" - Ares Documentation, ares-developers.github.io/Ares-docs/new/buildings/secretlabs.htm

that V3 was still pissed off about that dog incident
"Multiple hospitals will provide better healing."
Shit I didn't know that.
Multiple hospitals and machine shops heal faster? I had no idea, are you sure this works? Is there a cap to heal rate?
Infantry heals 20hp per Hospital every 50 frames and Vehicles heals 5hp per Machine Shop every 75 frames.
There is no cap on heal rate.

I don't like that the explanation of the usage of every building when captured is disabled for some reason! I always loved it hearing:
"Secret Lab captured. New technology available!"
1. Different factions have different numbers of infantry provided by airport
Ain't that in YR they have both Old Hospital that you have to fill in and Hospital that heals automatically?
The logic from RA2 was re-worked in YR. You can't send infantry into Hospitals.
What if the secret lab is recaptured? Will it provide another new unit?
Yuji Liu nope same unit

If you have a terror droned tank, can the tech outpost remove the drone if you have zero credits?
Hmmm, I need to see that.

It seems Machine Shop repairs each unit by a fixed % of HP per time rather than a fixed amount of HP. The same may be applied to Hospital.

This is false. Machine shops repair Vehicle Units for 5hp every 75 frames and Hospitals heals Infantry Units for 20hp every 50 frames.
