- This is the 11th mission of the Soviet Campaign, Red Revolution.
This mission is considered to be one of the most difficult in the entire Red Alert franchise. It's the only level to have no Allied forces at all. The enemy is attacking you constantly. The worst part has to do with Yuri Clones which are also unlimited. The AI already has 3 well defended bases. You can Nuke the Kremlin but building the Nuclear Silo will trigger an army of Kirovs.
All missions are played on Hard difficulty.

Holy frig... I really need to replay these missions; I don't remember them being *this* hard!
4:01 graphics bug. Don't know the fix. Sorry :(
4:49 The Outpost doubles as a Service Depot with UnitRepair=yes and is armed with the IFV's default weapon HoverMissile.
Guard that thing with your life.
8:33 nah, you'll love the OP Prism Support more. trust
8:53 hmm... HARV Storage is halved so $1000 of regular Cruentus gems, but since the prices are twice as high tonight that'd make $2000, yes.
Ares allows Harvester units to drop at least some of the resources they were carrying when destroyed for other Harvesters to collect, like Tiberian Sun.
27:25 mercifully, Spawns are never affected by Iron Curtain. Might be related to how they don't change House via scripts and maybe triggers while the unit carrying them does.
41:47 what the..? That's not supposed to happen... NADEPT has NumberImpassableRows=1, so all tiles except for the Crane's row is passable Bib...
43:25 About the Nuke: the Kirovs will keep spawning for as long you have Nuke Silo. Once it's gone they'll no longer spawn.
They re-spawn roughly every 200s @15FPS, so every 1.67min @30FPS. There are some triggers in place I've glossed over.
46:42 moo..!
47:41 Actually... that'd be Westwood forgetting to set ClearAllWeapons=yes on CARUS03 Kremlin Palace.
With CanBeOccupied=no and MaxNumberOccupants=0 from the map file, Primary=AlliedOccupyW and Secondary=SovietOccupyW in the rules.ini are properly respected again, and so the Kremlin fires the GI's garrison weapon, not the Conscript garrison weapon.
Because of how the game handles weapons, Secondary=SovietOccupyW is never fired; the game will only fire Secondary weapons if the Primary can't hit the targets for some reason or if the TechnoType is disallowed from using Primary on them via LandTargeting and NavalTargeting settings.
Map mods:
-standard halving of capacity and doubling of worth.
-NukePayload Damage re-set to 600.
-Russian Kremlin Palace ungarrisonable and Strength nerfed from 1000 to 800.
-IronCurtainSpecial RechargeTime nerfed from 5 to 10.
-BarrelExplosion Damage re-set to 200.
-OilExplosionWH max damage at edge nerfed from 50% to 25%, buffed to destroy Walls completely instead of damaging them.
-General section modified. Prism Support bug.
-MoneyDelta easy/hard set to plus/minus 2500/2000.
-Invisible lighting posts' lighting modified.
41:47 happens due to the unit stopping on the repair pad. I’ve had it happens few times. Need to be careful to not issue a stop command when a unit is entering or exiting the repair pad
Ah yes... that damn bug always got me rageing. Moving MCV through that repair depot, instantly destroyed. Also my war miners.
That's some annoying dog's fault right here >:(
@@MoondropSimulacra Lmao annoying dog vs Yuri Clones
@@Ei2995AY -_-
Lol. This is why i love warhead effectiveness.
I ever made apocalypse can only damage tanks and buildings while the mammothtusk can kill infantry and air units.
This is the story how mental omega difficulty was born
Yeah I agreed
Enjoyable, but really hard.
Ehhhh...
If you are referring to the the MO mission difficulty, then yeah, it usually contains the core aspects of "CnC difficulty" just like this mission, although MO has far more and far better scripting and level design, requiring thorough examination of the missions in order to complete them. After all, the MentalMeisters have access to all the knowledge learned about CnC in the past 20 years, while Ww had to invent and discover said knowledge.
The "Mental AI boost" in skirmish mode on the other hand is an entirely different story, it doesn't make the AI more smarter as much as it makes it realise that it has infinite resources...
@@whiterunguard4852 Minor correction: the AI always knows what it has.
The real question is how to increase that amount and make the AI use it to full.
I will admit MO is fascinating in that regard and mission design.
How?
Let alone how intense the mission itself, I got to say the actors for Yuri and Romanov did a great job, and Zofia is really damn hot.
Come to think of it who's better at mind control? a guy with disco hat able to mind control 1 guy or / and 4 man crew vehicle or a comon enginner with a bucket of paint capturing all these buildings with people inside suddenly on his side once he repaints the whole thing? "Oi lads I've got a bucket of paint here, join the winning team!" , top tier wolololo right here....
*Age of Empires Priesting*
"Needs a paint job" - Yuri Engineer
Engie is one weird unit. Makes me think how many missions can be beaten with just engineers.. and maybe transport vehicles.
One engie can control ore miner when docking at the refinery. Even more powerful with controling 4 harriers/black eagles at once when he get into air force command headquater
@@volknetai.3690 False.
Engineers can no longer change the Owner of docked Harvesters in RA2, YR or even Ares.
That feature was exclusive to Tiberian Sun and earlier.
This was probably the only Soviet mission that I really struggled with. They really amped up the difficulty on this one.
i actually couldn't really beat it myself I got over whelmed, I did end up cheesing by being super patient with the 2 kirovs you start off with of slowly killing the flaks on the left side of the map letting the kirovs regen and moving along the left border all the way to the kremlin eventually, gets easier as the kirov gain ranks of course and since my base is dead the enemy units don't really do much at all
The trick is to build a nuke then shoot it 3 times at the target objective in mean time build flaks and tesla to the north and right side and apoc tanks + drones and hold out
eventually,I succeeded .I just sacrifice initial force for detroying brown& orange soviet economic in 1 way..just remain Yuri&me 1V1 now.
Chrono Defence was the hardest
@@pishka3 It feels great I found another fellow who did this cheese too! Sending Kirovs on the left border and pray most of the Kirovs survive and then directly bomb yuri's building was satisfying.
Supposedly built a mission to teach player how use and counter the Kirov airship.
Creates hell instead.
Kirov itself is hell
Indeed. But it really highlights the capability of the Kirovs. Even if If you t your primary forces to destroy the right side orange base power you can use your x2 Kirov airships alone with careful management to dominate the entire mission once they’re promoted to elite.
I always forget there's another mission after this one. This one really feels like the ultimate mission for the Soviets, where you make your final move against Yuri and take control of the world for yourself.
It is the penultimate mission. Penultimate means "second last"
@@mjc0961 ah. Ultimate then.
To be fair the next mission is an easy slaughter a showoff mission basically :)
@@zeyadgabr8682 indeed lol, using the full might of the Soviet Arsenal in order to take down the last allied base.
its a really easy mission lol, its just long
Just imagine it as an "epilogue" or "loose end" mission. It really serves no purpose other than to show what happened to the Allies.
HD quality is still processing. Guess it will take some time due to the size of the video.
When you can't wait for hd version, and watch it in 360p because it's still awesome! Thank you for the series. May we see you make videos for the other games, they are great.
If you need to, you can always submit it but delay its launch until a bit later.
@@jasonh1498 I delayed it nearly an hour and still it wasn’t ready.
Finally. A red alert soviet mission-11 youtube video where player fight the AI head on bravely.
Finally Full HD is ready! Please, enjoy and thanks! :)
Another way to easily pass this mission in 15mins or less is by doing the following:
1.) Move all your 3 Kirovs to the bottom-right corner of the map.
2.) Then, let the Kirovs move one-by-one to the top-right corner of the map.
3.) The Kirovs must have enough distance with each other so they won't get damaged by the flak cannons together.
4.) Once you're almost on the top-right corner, go straight (turn left) to the kremlin. At least 1 out of your 3 Kirovs will be able to reach and complete the mission.
Is this the speedrun?
@@dba6097 yep
Possible for left side too, But you need to hug the very left.... Destroy Purple nuclear reactor to end flak cannon.
Or the most reliable way is to rush the orange base (In the back entrance) and destroy the only nuclear reactor to disable all defenses.
This way of speedrun is depend on how slow your kirov are. Not how bad you can play them
Yeah, i did it with 2 kirov. Just destroy their nuclear reactor.
I'm so impressed since I never have a chance to explore the map completely as enemies keep coming that I had to end this mission by launching the nuke twice against the Kremlin.
A bunch of Kirov's over edge of the map is fine too
I remember that way back when, around the time this was released, I was so annoyed. The constant stream of attacks, low income which lead to severely tight economy and even tighter in terms of military power. Can't really recall what I thought, but I do remember one thing. Training several Kirov Airships and sent them stright to Kremlin. Somehow that worked. How I did it, only the supernatural diety knows, but the end result was I won. This has been my strategy for this level ever since, though I've taken my time to blow everything between my base and Kremlin to smithereens. I am about 35 minutes in, but still, another good longplay. An actual longplay this time. :p
This is my all time favorite mission in C&C Red Alert 2.
It is set in Moscow; with a much wider perspective. I remember beating this mission using infantry groups only. A revolution indeed!
Best gift I could've asked for Easter.
"Awww man, this mission is so damn hard, and kicking my ass, I wonder how long it takes for TG to beat it"
Next thing I know, im watching a movie about the hardest soviet mission
Yes even when someone as good as tg takes nearly an hour, you know you’ve got a job on your hands.
I mean not really, he could of not conquered all the bases. Just build a very good defence and a lot of flak for the kirov and nuke the kremlin. Thats how normally do it. But when im bored i do Tg' strat
@@milkeewayy do they not repair the Kremlin?
@@lauraallard8999 No
OMG .. I learned so much to your gameplay for this mission. your tower defense tactics is superb.
This game felt just so great.
Very well made.
A game does not have to be 3D to be good.
39:45 I thought that radar dish was firing rockets
xD
Self defence sequence engage
Ok this timestamp is worth seeing i lol'd
"That dish look sus"
What are you talking about?, they're fine"
"Look a rocket are coming at us!"
"Stop joking around, that dish was fi-"
When i was 12 years old, i finished the mission just by nuking the Kremlin twice. Works for me.
This is how everyone best the mission before becoming a professional
@@user-gn5tl5vq8k pro or not, it is the fastest solution to this mission ^_^ it is more fun though to battle through the defenses
The only way I was able to beat this mission back in the day was to sneak a flight of Kirovs up the right map border to flatten Yuri’s kremlin.
Yep, and melt those reactors down while going there, one nuke at a time.
I always built a bunch of them on the left flank and then send one in to take the brunt of flak damage and then use what was left to bomb it out along with a nuke to finish it off.
lul I thought I was the only one who does that
haha i just built a nuke silo and nuked the crap out of Yuri's hideout while flakking down the Kirov armadas
47:40 It's Yuri shooting back with his pistol (or Romanov's).
47:30: "Hello, Yuri, guess who's back!"
man watching these brings forgotten memories.. i must want replay all these as soon as you finish them :D
A random but useful advice when you attack a base and you cut its power the best course of action would be to destroy the conyard since the conyard it self gives a little power which makes it a safe option to destroy without worry of power coming back :)
This is the best level in all of Red Alert 2, my favorite, thank you for this!
Thoroughly enjoyable vid tg, and really well done for hard difficulty too. I wouldn’t ever dare!
Because of that Kremlin attack thing I lost my heroic tesla trooper... which is why I punished Yuri by filling the entire area around the Kremlin with Tesla Coils, and had them fire all at the same time at it. Though I did have quite a laugh imagining Yuri leaning out of a window and shooting someone outside with a conscript rifle.
There it is, this is not your regular hard CnC mission, this is THE HARD MISSION. A combination of an intentionally horrific map design (you start in the corner, the only nearby ore fields are severely exposed, the entire map is filled with chokepoints which are nowhere near you), an extremely aggressive AI (which, of course, has infinite resources) and an infinite spam of Yuri's clones will drive any unprepared player insane. This mission defined hard missions - it has that perfect formula previously mentioned. In fact, I'd say that the only CnC mission to truly live up to this one in terms of how absurd the odds are against you would be Kane's Tower in Tiberium Wars. (yes, MO exists I know, but it is a mod, not an official release)
There are 3 ways to complete this mission - coordinated rush, army buildup and turtle. You can also combine them if you want, you do you...
The rush is by far the fastest and probably "easiest" one, since you really have to do only one thing - use your initial forces to run straight to the first enemy base. We can observe a truly unique anomaly here for a RA2 mission - you actually start with a significant force, one that can be used for more than base defending. The main idea is to quickly build a barracks and spam 10-20 conscripts to use as damage sponges against enemy Tesla Coils. Once they are surrounded with conscripts, send your starting tanks to destroy them. It is a bit tricky, especially if your tanks get infected by terror drones, and you will also have to be careful, if your conscript force depletes when there are Yuri clones around, it's gg. But if you pull it off you will secure everything south of Yuri's base. Spam some engineers to capture stuff - why build a base when you can steal one... or two. And then you will have the satisfaction of turning the odds against Yuri - now you are the one who has three bases (the two enemy ones + your initial starting one) and infinite resources. You are then free to cleave him into the ground.
The army buildup is what tg did, and it is "fairly simple" as well - clear out the nearby hills and set up a defensive position. Then build up a lot of everything and wipe out the enemy, while also once again capturing as much enemy buildings as possible. Sounds like the approach most people would take, but it requires you to realise how bad your starting position is and that you can capture nearby tech structures and build around them. The most important part however is to not build the Nuke Silo. The endless hordes of Kirovs require a dozen or more Flak Traks or Cannons to be available, both of which have to be defended from all attacks. It is simply not worth the effort to constantly babysit the Silo - you are better off just wiping out the first two bases with ground forces, and by then there will be no point in nuking The Kremlin when you can destroy it using other means.
Finally, there is the pure turtling - which, you guessed it, consists of building a Nuke Silo and sweating a river for 30 minutes straight. This is what most of us did the first time we played the game, but while it does sound simple on paper... well, I'm sure you know very well why it isn't. The Kirovs, the Terror Drones, the waves of conscripts, the Iron Curtain, hearing "Ore Miner under attack" every 10 seconds... I didn't know you could get PTSD from a video game. At least it worked in the end for all of us poor kiddos who had no idea what we signed up for, right?
But, no matter which way you pick, your micro skills will be tested - the mission itself isn't all that hard to a player who is very good at micro, but it sure is a mammoth compared to all the other RA2 missions.
That GDI mission in Tiberium Wars where you have to defend an outpost with no MCV and only limited power is difficult though...
@@tntproductions1996 Well, like most "difficult" CnC missions, it seems hard until you realise that following the objectives given to you is worse than doing your own thing.
In this case, all you have to do is completely ignore the "defense" part of the mission and spam out some Rocket Squads (you'll have to watch out for any attacks during this though). Once that is done, go to the Northeastern Nod base (the one which builds vehicles) and wipe out any enemies, the AI will only have several Raider Buggies to counter infantry, meaning that everything is free game. You can then safely capture the Con Yard and all the other Nod buildings... and there you go, mission done. 4 Flame tanks are more than enough to wipe out the Nod Infantry base and Vertigos can bomb the Nod Aircraft base to dust. Yep, I sucked the first time I tried this mission as well, but several years later nothing other than MO can scare me. Well, that and General Juhziz in Shockwave...
Compare this to Kane's Tower, in which you have to fight a fat GDI force coupled with free veterancy. Worse yet, you have to defend the Scrin, who aren't actually your allies and will die in about 6-8 minutes if you don't do anything. It is a mission that requires you to have a very specific build path and allows for almost no creative solutions to anything, since you essentially have a very short timer that can only be extended by attacking a far superior force. It is a literal turtle hell, and also probably the closest the original CnC games have ever gotten to MO's difficulty.
@@whiterunguard4852 Good to know, and thanks for the tips :)
@@tntproductions1996 A few years ago, I attempted a hard difficulty, all bonus objectives play through of Tib Wars, and I discovered several ways to accomplish this: the first thing you’ll want to do is send units to the north and south of your base to collect the money crates that are there. I don’t remember the exact amount of cash you get from it, but it’s quite a bit. For the left (mainly attacked by infantry) side of your base, make sure you constantly check to see if there are any rocket squads, as they have just enough range so that your watchtowers won’t auto-target them, but if you give a command to attack the rocket squads, they will still be able to handle them. You could also add some APCs with riflemen squads. On the vehicles side, rockets and predators can deal with most of the enemies. Leave your AA defenses offline because they almost never use aircraft. Finally, you can choose to capture the base to the northeast to make the mission easy.
@@whiterunguard4852 What about Zero Hour’s China mission 3?
"The battle for moscow was hell. The moment we stepped out off our barracks there we bullets, explosions, tesla-discharges, the enemy-HQ....."
"All hail the infinite yuri CONE."
i really admire how you play, this mission is actually frustrating for me. Even when watching exactly what you do, it still cost me a lot to imitate you and get past the start!
41:46 LOL felt the pain.
Also I was wondering where the enemy Kirovs where at.
I remember when I played this map as a kid, I just turtled at the very beginning, build a nuke silo and get wrecked cause I didn't know the Nuke triggered the Kirovs.
and this mission , is why the soviet campaign is harder than the allied one.
The hardest mission in the game
@Jafferson Llaban nah you just fly 3 airships on the edges of the map.
@Jafferson Llaban what about just bring 2 kirovs and done
@@clemenscohn7371 They get ran over easily lel
All you need to do in this mission is to hold the line and nuke the kremlin. That's it
I replayed this mission not long ago, attacking the first base from the airport's side with a massive army of conscripts worked like a charm, besides it's a pure representation of mother Russia's spirit
Bro, thanks to your tips I managed to beat the allied campaign on hard and until now I did not have to watch the tips for soviet hard campaign, but this mission scares me :D wish me luck, just one mission away.
Good luck, I am almost sure you can handle it!
This mission is just turtling hard in the beginning, i love watching hundreds of thousands of units get ripped apart in that cliff defense.
stalingrad all over again
Here, one tip from me... If you want some little 'fun'... You could see the oil derrick in the right and a small pass.
You can do several thing:
1. Block it with wall. Yuri Clones would trapped there. Good thing it could auto rankUp the Kirov. One bomb and it's done. I've tried it 2 times. Pretty much bamboozling those Yuris.
2. Upper hill above that, place the V3 (preferably the elites, it carry miniNuke). Force attack some spot... Tada! Enemy infantry can't pass that spot. Most likely annihilated by V3's mini Nuke.
Well... Other than that, I just capturing all structures. Except the upper right and left one. Happy bombing!
Let me check it tonight. About v3 nuke and force attack, I doubt it.
35:17
*Yuri Clones: Heh, stupid player, I will sneak around, he won't notice me
*tg: TESLA TOWER MADAFAKA
And that moment he knew, he was fucked..
was looking forward for this one :)
This mission is so hard to play. I remember I lost everything except 2 Kieovs, and I used that 2 airships to kill everything. It seems you don’t lose this mission when you lost all structures.
Yessss!!!! My favorite mission is finally here! 54:32 runtime! You sure do not disappoint, tg!
It's a long play so 55 minutes is quite a lot. :D
I remember that this mission is the most I feared of back then, when I played it again, I literally followed almost the same concept as yours except that I just nuke the kremlin twice
Best mission of the entire game.
Perhaps after this, Yuri's Revenge Long Play next innit?
First time I'd passed the mission I was so devastated I quit playing for about a month.
Backstory: I was enjoying the mission, so much so that I was absorbed in it for nearly 2 hours (might even 3), It was a very tough mission, with too many close calls, but I somehow made it through. I clear the map of the enemies and destroy the Kremlin. End mission title card and off to the next mission, only for the game to encounter a loading error and crash during the loading of Mission 12. "No problem," I think. "I'll load the save." The thing is, I was so enthralled with the mission, aside from 2 saves in the first 20 minutes of the mission, I hadn't saved since. Just the thought of having to re-clear the whole map was depressing.
Learned my lesson though; I save regularly in every game I play.
Rushing the outpost on top of the cliff and capturing both power plants then packing them with Sentry Guns+Tesla Coils makes it significantly easier - you pretty much control western Oil Derrick and mineral field without a risk of it being constantly interrupted, attacks focus in one point, making Kirovs far stronger and with the way AI works here you're likely to escape majority of Iron Curtain issues - they use it after they stack up a fixed army in a fixed spot about 90% of times (that spot being the gem field above Oil Derrick) - as you whittle supplying forces with your Tesla Coils on the cliff, you might see some questionable Iron Curtain usages like a single Terror Drone or Rhino Tank.
Glad you went the same route - that damned cliff can be exploited towards so much advantage - if only I knew it back when I was 10 haha.
A strategy I used once: take the two Kirovs all the way west and start advancing through the barely defended city: the defenses there are not enough to destroy the Kirovs.
I remember completing this mission with a mass Kirov armada😅
Your method is much better and feels more epic.
I sacrifice initial force for destroying economic of orange & brown soviet,remains Yuri&me 1V1.140K estimated ores were belong to me now.
46:40: "...I understand your paranoia there, Miller."
There is an easter egg on this map.
If u destroy the trees near the tech airport a message will appear on the top left screen.
Greate video btw 🤗
The message is shown in the video.
Thanks for reminding me the good old days of my life
This is hands down my favorite mission. In the past I struggled hard but I ended up figuring out a sick plan by capturing the cliff Teslas and producing a Tesla Coil/Flak Cannon network on it.
Conscripts, V3s and Apocalypses can do it.
I remember I had to speedrun this because I had no patience to play it over and over, lol
The best mission in RA2 and YR. I love playing this one over and over. :)
36:54: "Ah, a back way. Thanks, Chitzkoi Brigade."
53:48 your tank division ? I think it's more like "Your engineer division"
I swear I've beaten both the Allied and the Soviet Campaigns on hard difficulty, but I DO NOT remember this mission being THIS intense. I remember it being hard, but this looks crazy. Well played how you the enemies footholds.
This is one of the best mission in the whole game yet. The madness, the sadistic kirovs. Ahh I love this mission so much as the ai runs through your kirovs and die.
Hint: Conscripts are still useful to guard war miners against terror drones useful against yuris as well
I like what your strategy you've used on this mission ❤️😍
Damn it, I am so early that it's still 360p
I didn't even notice until the gameplay started, though 🤣
lol, its +-3GB for 1080p
53:47: On par time or less: "Already your name is known to school children as the greatest general the world has ever known."
Must admit, this longplay and the first Soviet mission sure didn't reach less than par time.
Girls: Guys don't know what pain is
Guys pain: 41:46
If you look at many old walkthroughs for this mission, they will say that the nuclear missile will destroy the Kremlin in one shot, when in fact that does not happen even on the easiest difficulty.
It did destroy in one shot, but when the patch for the game came it reduced the damage og the nuke silo, thus causing the need to fire it twice
Strange, as my memory says it needed three nukes. After two there was a minimum amount of health left.
For real this is the hardest mission that I have played. And I only completed the mission by using 3 or 4 Kirov Airship and 2 or 3 of them had Elite Promotion.
tg thanks for the videos . I really enjoy watching your Channel.
Waiting for the new videos
38:39: "Looks like the war of attrition is now in our favor, and Yuri is losing his credits."
When I first reached this mission it was so hard I thought it was the final. When I found out theres one more I was surprised.
Now that RA2 campaign is almost done, will you also cover RA2: Yuri's Revenge campaign? Looking forward! :)
Nice job and you awesome tg i like your video ill be watch your next video mission 12 the final
BIG LIKE BRO YOUR AWSOME IN THE BEST BRO GOOD JOBS :**********
the amount of barracks tg built is astonishing
More Barracks for the Gulag wall
Great video
My personal way to clear this one is to destroy flaks up-left from the base and send just those two starting kirovs, to the top sticking to the left edge. They are pretty much enough to take out the whole base on the top of the map and for the objective itself, while you dont trigger AI to build its own kirovs and just defend using some terror drones and teslas
is it considered cheesing if i send 30 friggin kirovs to straight up kill everything? was so annoyed with those dang yuri clones turning my units left and right the first time i played this mission
My favorite mission in RA2 in the Soviet Campaign but it was a lotta harder when I was like 13 yrs old
tg: is that all the barracks?
Wong: what? you want more?
The problem with RA2 (IMHO) is the inconsistency of it's difficulty on some missions. Some of the missions on both campaign has 3 or more 'players' and yet they doesn't bring as much hell as this or that final allied mission.
If RA2 are getting remastered, I hope that they bring up the difficulty on some missions
Still very hard for me to decide on a favourite Soviet mission with all three last missions as contenders, but this one is definitely the hardest
I love capturing enemies base, do you?
Capturing barracks & war factory means free forward base thus shorter supply line and allow you to reinforce the front line easily
Yeah, same.
Ahhh the nostalgia
*See* 0:22
Yup nostalgia indeed
So if this mission is meant to take place in the same place as the final Allies mission, but south of the Kremlin instead of north, how come the Kremlin’s surroundings have walls arranged differently and the Kremlin itself is built on top of a road that wasn’t there for the Allies?
Gameplay.
Plus, Washington DC is very inconsistent across its 5 versions.
@@jcdenton2187 fair comment!
It's just Westwood being Westwood.
Don't question it.
u know its my favorite mission in the story
1:43: (Good one, tg-sacred.)
"Ah, Kirovs. Not the MiGs of old, but useful and terrifying regardless. Now, where are the fruits of labor involving the Boris program?"
I vaguely remember my first successful run of this mission involved leaving Kirovs on forced fire in the path of the enemies attacks.
Crazy soviets just charged passed suicidally and died in droves
Edit: Like minded and remembered correctly!!
This is "Command & Conquer" not "Command & Destroy", love it.
I'm guessing the average age of people who play this game is 35+
Yes, one is right here. Turning 36 on 1st of May. And this time (for the first ever in history) I played without loading the game, so I would collect the crates. 😄
Im 29 but it was my childhood xD Id throw my hard earned money at them if they remastered it like they did with ra1
RIP to those units fried by the Tesla Coils.
Yuri's Kremlin base looks bugged in your play - when I played this mission, it was mass-producing yuri clones constantly.
I have detected some variations with Origin's version of the game with the original game, likely something like this
53:40: "Now, to give the Kremlin some radical restructuring... I miss my commander school friends Boss, Fixer, Scorch, and Riggs."
This one is the most difficult mission in Ra2, and the only one I looked tips for finishing it. I still remember someone said it is impossible when I was 10.
I must say, tree clearing is more of an Age of Empires tactic, but it does work here.
26:00 mark: "Great, I'm fighting the Psychic Corps. This is going to be a doozy, as the Americans would say."
"kirov reporting" the voiceline that cause my childhood nightmare
Maneuver props engaged
Helium mix optimal
Setting new course
the one time where you understand why artillery did what they do in real wars. Kirovs and V3’s pulled clutch in this mission
Wait, you mean there are other strategies beyond building as many Kirovs as you can before being overrun and sending them all up the side of the map and then towards the Kremlin?
Just 4-5 enough to do, but need to kill every power source and make sure their flak cannon not working
Another strategy (the one I used) You can nuke the structure, it takes 2 hits. Yes you will need to build lots of flaks to counter the air balloons
This is probably hardest mission in all C&C series - at least for me. Never made even outside enemy's first base since RA2 release. Either used Kirovs or Nuke to finish my torment as soon as possible. Maybe I'll try this challenge one more time when (hopefully) EA announces RA2 remaster.
2:35: "That bastard... that was mine to use first!"
3:58: "You and the makers of the device will have my thanks."
When I played this level for the first time, I screwed up and lost by ability to create new units, though I had just build the missile silo. It's been years, but if I remember right, I let my refinery be destroyed and didn't have the resources to build a new one.
So I had a choice, restart the mission of see if I could hold out long enough to launch the nuclear strikes needed to win.
I choose the later option and was just barely able to hold off Yuri's attack waves in time to finish the level.
My favourite mission.
Good, gameplay TG
