- Playthrough of Mental Omega 3.3.6 Epsilon mission #24 - Babel on Mental Difficulty.
Your time is over.
Allied forces continue the siege of Mental Omega Device. Two of their heroes are currently trying to destroy the final Mental Dynamo in the undergrounds, while remeaning troops lay continious siege to the final stronghold. However, our reinforcements have finally reached the tower. Libra is the key - she must reach the Device to ensure the victory of Epsilon. However, Allies have established several bases along the way - prepare for battle!
Stage 1 is Libra Micro Management. You need to be fast or enemy will destroy majority of defenses around the Device. Use your abilities to stop enemy chronoshifts, destroy bases and elliminate the enenty troops. The more outposts you destroy, the less forces you will need to fight in Stage 2, so try to at least destroy enemy ConYards and productions. Once that is done, head to MOD and complete this part.
Stage 2 is a defense stage, as ower is activating. Every strike on Tower increases the timer, so try to keep it protected at all costs. If you managed to move fast, you should have triple infantry queue and factory - make Archers and Opus tanks, as enemy wont send infantry towards you. Be careful of Lightning Storms.
Stage 3 is defense against Paradox Engine taskforce. Hopefully you made a lot of Archers - use them to shut down majority of enemy forces, use the provided reinforcements to attack the strike force too. Libra can die in 2 shots from Prism Cannons, so try to engage it only when it is attacking something else - like Mental Omega Device - and you should be fine.
Stage 4 is probably the hardest one in terms of management. Libra is weaker, but still packs a punch - use her to support the destruction of enemy outpost right outside of your ally's base. Send Irkallas to support that flank too - they will prove to be a good addition to this taskforce. In meanwhile, prepare the base, create defenses and additional Pandora Hub for Psychplug - Psychic Towers can aid a lot against chronoshifts. Libra's task is to go alongside the edge of the map and destroy Blue ConYard and 3 out of 4 Weather Control Devices. Move along the edge - destroying or infiltrating a ConYard summons large group of AI controled units to your side, so dealing with Blue helps a lot. Proceed south, destroy the second WCD and blink through the cliff to lower elevation. From that point proceed further to south, destroy the third WCD and clear the area for infiltration. There is only a group of Robot Tanks and dogs protecting this flank, so carefully pick your targets with Libra - destroy the Production, Power Plants but do not touch ConYard. Once its infiltrated, Soviet forces will appear to help you deal with remnants of this base. Final 2 Con Yards are in the middle. One is protected by single dog and can be fooled easily with Shadow Ring, other one continues to refill Robot Tank patrols. Try to use Stalkers to breach through defenses, you can also recall Irkallas and Basilisks to support the strike. I havent managed to get all 3 of infiltrators inside, and i didnt bother to repeat it again. Im long overdue in schedule.
Stage 5 is Infiltration of Prism Conduits. Each infiltration disables 2 out of 6 Prism Cannons and aids you in last part of the mission. There are a lot of side tasks and minigames on this one, and its easy to get lost - be careful of how do you approach the tasks at hand or you will end up just like me.
Stage 6 is final assault on Paradox Engine. Use your forces to slowly destroy the chronoshifted taskforces and finally use Libra to assault the Paradox Engine from safe distance. Once you damage it below certain HP treshold, the final strike will begin, marking the end of the mission.
I was tired of the two week battle with this one. But now? It's time to get back on the track. Foehn missions next. And then? Covert Ops and Co-Ops.

I like the way the final "stage" and the epilogue showcase this as if it were a happy ending. Fits the Epsilon's twisted morals.
Unit promoted, unit lost, unit ready, our bases in under attack , repeats - forever :D
Now I just need to figure out how they built all that in a pocket dimension! Guess they could have built it normally before pocketing it. Fun seeing an allied "underground" base, not seen too many of them before!
Libra must rest at the end? Wonder that that means.
A few tips as your approach to this mission makes things unneccessarily hard:
stage 1 - less haste more speed when using libra, slow and methodical makes dealing with the chrono ambushes much easier, there is actually plenty of time
stage 2 - mass produce brutes, they will easily crush the land attack waves. Archers melt under thors anyhow, you are better off making gattlings then switching to archers once you have a sizable bulk of brutes on the ground. Also moving the ganzirs and bunching them up on one side can help as then you focus all your other forces on the other
stage 3 - dont worry too much about the damage to the tower, try and skirt the edges of the force with libra, you can use those brutes as a meat shield to absorb a lot of thor fire whilst the anti air does the job. Also don't worry about losing most of the units, you don't need them in the long run
stage 4 - dont try and defend the forward base from blue, better to ignore it and defend your own base, build adepts to mind control all the chrono attacks, leave rahn in the base, use libra as your main attacker supported by any leftover units from stage 3, you should use her to take out everything except the con yards focusing on the southernmost base first, then moving northwards. She can pretty much solo the whole of those 3 bases. Only go after blue last and just aim to take out the con yard to proceed, blue has way too many units to waste time attacking them. As soon as you get the spies, infiltrate the 3 southern con yards asap, only try to infiltrate them after cearing out the bases.
stage 5 - self-explainatory, although doing it on fast speed is so f'ing hard! I either turn the speed down for the puzzles or just reload repeatedly!
stage 6 - hang back and consolidate forces, the paradx escort force is easier to distract than to try and actually destroy, goal is just to seperate it. Admittedly this section is super hard if you don't infiltrate all 3 con yards, i found it easy only because the engine was defenceless when I did it.
I can just imagine that thanks to this war, half of the global Allied population is now dead The last few missions alone saw so many casualties...
Nah. Most allied population was under soviet control after 1982 and fell to Epsilon's control in 1984 due to the beacons/amplifiers. Only their military was gathered in London. They could always get new recruits if they freed Europe and America and even East Asia. If anything i say the russians lost the most as they constantly had to fight their mind controlled forces during the war. And now they lost pretty much anything bar the moon soviets.
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook What about the Chinese? They were unusually quiet after Thread of dread. I'm hoping the Chinese forces managed to learn enough about the mind control to help out the soviets (even after how many failed alliances) or help them after the Foehn remnants managed to destroy the tower.
I actually really hoped for a calm Libra voice after her “enlightenment”, like Libra clones
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook true! Libra's VA is still active on TH-cam but I doubt it would be that easy
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook wow I didn't know that!
The could've just made her not have voice lines during this mission (Like in Dance of Blood).
@@RevanNaut yeah they did so for parts of it! But I guess maybe they want the players to know that there’s still a crazy side of her
Ever since 3.0 . I wish I can laugh the same way as Libra
Well Played broo:))
one thing i hate about this mission is you can lose all of your power so quickly
Well this was fun to watch.
""Hey alstar, you havent uploaded in quite a while, everything okay?"
Me:
No, im not okay. But i will do it finally."
im surprised you made it on stage 2. that part of the mission gets much harder the more conyards you destroy.
cool video
Does this mean Yuri had been trying to achieve Human Instrumentality all along?
He went back to Moscow to distract the Soviet's attention.
The sad part here is that the only way for humanity to be saved is if the player failed Babel. If there was a defeat cinematic much like in Red Alert 1, then I think that it would show the Yuri's Revenge Allied ending, but the proselyte is trapped in the Psychic Isolation Chamber.
It is fair to assume that despite being part of the PsiCorps, Proselyte may not have any latent psionic abilities himself.
Although he is capable of guiding Libra during her rage, so I guess he may have something after all.
Also done humans are still alive and kicking ass - the beginnings of Foehn Revolt.
how do you build 5 units with one mouse click? mod? 4 clicks starts building 20 units, instead of 20 clicks....
Press Shift key when clicking to add 5 units to queue.
who's that talking there at the end? is that Libra saying "I must finally rest..."? or someone else?
Correct.
I wonder what *one* "technology wonder" that the Allied made that lead them to death. Is it simply the Chronosphere (that start everything), Gladius Defense System (that buy enough time for everything) or the Time Machine
Yes, probably the Time Machine. Yuri would never have gone back in time to repair all the mistakes if it wasn't for the Time Machine.
Chrono Backpack
@@Alstar This, along with the overreliance on the Paradox Engine because it failed on them at that critical hour when they needed it the absolute most.
Libra getting the Chrono Backpack was one thing, but the Paradox Engine's prism cannons failing, along with it being the ONLY weapon in the entire war that prevented the Allies from being steamrolled hard was the true reason for their inevitable downfall.
I answered the question. Paradox engine wasn't allied downfall. Chrono backpack made it possible for Libra to reach MOD in time, move in frozen time and allowed to push back allied forces that were on the verge of victory.
@@Alstar the game already stated that the reason why the allies lost was because they severely underestimated yuri and overly relied on the paradox engine a technology that isn't perfected yet which was stated what cost them the entire campaign
if you also read the mission briefing the paradox engine gave the allies a false hope and confidence it was even further explained that the victory from stalin's using time and space technology made the allies think that they are unbeatable and the long peace after their huge victory made them neglectful and vulnerable which the soviets and yuri exploited at the start
to summarize the allies downfall is due to their overconfidence the final mission is not just about yuri its also due to the soviets defeating them that the allies were outnumbered during the final chapters and this is also due to yet again their overconfidence that the soviet union would never beat the allies in the beginning
Do the deep charged Weather Devices one-shot the MO tower?
Yes.
Wow. I wonder if there is a different animation for the deep charge
@@neonayse8803 idk about one shot tbh but the script does say infinite duration of lightning storm so its also death basically
That was intense. Glad you managed to do it through Yuri's gift.
I still wonder though, why does nobody use Libra's gravity field? I feel like I can destroy groups of units way more quickly and safely with it than without it. It also lets me ignore everything, including defenses, as I move into a base to activate Omega Storm on it and be done with it. Idk. Great video. :D
for some reason her gravity field is much slower here, it takes longer to turn vehicles upside down
@@zharakov I was referring to the Gravity Field's ability to shut down weapons of enemies and defenses, and slow them down completely.
the good ending
I really enjoyed all the end missions, but this one was by far the one with the most bugs, with most of it during the infiltration stage.
I had to reload so many times due to scripting breaking or stuff like what happened to you (robots just flying in out of nowhere for no reason). It was really disappointing.
I realized the arrow changed as i was clicking it, that triggered the bots.
@@Alstar ah okay that makes sense. I had them swarm me out of nowhere while crossing the electric grid - hadn't done anything to cause any problems, then all of a sudden they came rushing over. Loaded a save and it didn't happen again, so weird.
Is the mental difficulty only has 2 inflitrators?
I lost one to something and could not infiltrate last conyard
@@Alstar You lost your infiltrator at 44:22 due to your group of Basilisk start firing at the prism tower where he is standing.
Friendly fire thing
Ouch
Lmao he just close to fail the mission because of King Charon Tank eliminated his Libra at the beginning lol. He's so lucky.
Ah yes the finale of Libra's training arc. This may be a bit unrelated, but can you make a channel dedicated to fan writings on the MO Discord?
