"Testing Slaves" Quite an interesting title you have there Anyways long time no see my man, last time I was here you have like 2K subs, how quickly the number grows
Well good luck! I really like to see more RA content in the future. Even tho this game is an old game, I'm still playing it until now, the sensation from this game never gets old man
3:01 veteran & elite slave has the same power and it's the same case for the brutals, can I take a wild guess that brutals are originally from some mutation experiments on slaves? 🤔
Well slaves are similar to soldiers in case of physical strength, assuming they eat the same ration, and weapon expertise is out of the way. That said, I wonder if Tanya and Virus could also be turned into a Brute by using Genetic Mutator...
So for anyone who's shocked that slaves managed to beat 2 navy seals... Well, let's just say their victory was marginal. 1.Due to how seals' default evasive starts with going downwards, that one seal dies off far too early. 2.The slope for slaves to head upwards is just barely enough for them to swarm the seals. A battle is never fought on numbers alone, even in a RTS game.
I mean... They mine huge chunks of gold nuggets all day... Pretty sure they're pretty buff beyond reasons enough to compete against a genetically modified hulks
7:03 Yuri Clone chased by freed slave: Stay away from me! I won't sacrifice myself for a slave Boris: Oh man he got him. Poor Ivan. (All 3 heroes explode)
wanted to see this for a long time, but was never brave enough to ask for it :D i realy thought the battle fortress is going to be a meme again though, i was rly surprised :O
5:13 That's the first time I have seen someone put slaves in a battle fortress! I had no idea they could still "hit" with melee attacks while inside! That's so funny!
An aspect of Slaves that actually goes unnoticed often because few people use them seriously: Slaves are 100% immune to mind control. This means, Masterminds cannot harm them (unless they crush them) and Psychic Towers cannot do anything to them. Yuri Clones and Prime can still kill them with the Psychic Wave; but Slaves are actually DECENT against Yuri's Mind Control units because they can surround them and beat them senseless. And a Veteran Slave is... horrifyingly powerful, likely to match how difficult it is to actually get them to that level.
In 100 frames... Slave does 100 damage @ 50% = 50 damage, instantly. Tank does 108 damage @ 25% = 27 damage, not instantly. So slave wins as HP to damage received ratio is better.

As far as Slave promotion is concerned, whenever they destroy a building, tank, or tough infantry, they automatically get an Elite promotion. No Veteran promotion observed... perhaps, unless if it comes from crates.
"Slaves are cheap! Hahaha!" Promotions are based on value of the killing unit versus the target and slave are, indeed, cheap enough that any kill makes them eligible for Elite.
But the ultimate question is: Which unit is the #1 useless unit in all of C&C? A. Technician from C&C, RA1, and Tib Sun B. Limpet Drone from Tib Sun C. Slave from YR
That's a tough question, limpet drones are the only unit that costs anything, but the fasted and can cross water. It also has a very niche spy role. So despite the other two being free, I think it's the least useless. It has to the technician - especially in TibSun where they run out of ammo for their already useless weapon. A
Limpet drone....my god, they have limited scouting potential for that one level they are introduced (the effectively cannot be seen once attached, and will not be fixed by the enemy).

tg units that are very good at killing infantry: elite tanks, elite infantry, seal, Tanya, Gatling tanks, desolators, elite ifv, Terror drones, etc. I think it will be fun to see who is the fastest to kill a group of infantry. Thanks man, your videos are great!

I nether realised that slaves were useful in combat in any way at all. Never reach melee range for me. Damn watching them beat brutes at their job!! hahhaah

Most players would just move them in back. Slaves are to slow moving.
Just because they didnt get rank upgrade ;)
@DefiantBoris Perhaps - but in both attempts the situation looked like it was on the border of "sustainable" for the SEALs, so it would've at least made it extremely close even if they ultimately failed regardless! Especially in the second clip as that was closer than the first.
The slaves win because the seals don't get promoted for killing them, since slaves are free
Did I just watch that guy destroy a tank with a shovel?
Imagine battle fortress with 5 shovel coming out of it’s side window beating a whole building into a pile of rubbles

Those seals had some crazy self heal though which I only noticed in the end.
