- Mastermind is another unit of Yuri which can mind control enemy units. It's an expensive unit worth $1750 but can also cause some chaos to your opponent.
Apart from mind control a Mastermind doesn't have a weapon to protect itself. It can control unlimited units but will take damage for controlling more than three units.
The damage it takes increases as it converts more and more units. Iron curtain is the easiest way to keep it alive for a long period while it controls a massive amount of units.

Trying to imagine 8 mechanical arms furiously piecing back together a brain thats constantly moving around is.. i have a headache haha.
Nick Kirkpatrick
Brainwave Overload!!
It's like a defrozen jello, I NEED A MEDIC!!!
You just named the tactic of 8 repair IFV’s as “Life support”
Hehehehe
Having ifv playing against AI is almost broken powerfull. The AI rarely target them.. and when they do.. they repair each other.
The true benefit of it is that when you never lose any ... in my case prism tanks... they level up really fast.
I usually have 4 prismanks on quick command 1.... more protecting them... then 2 - 4 ifv also protecting them
Anything that attacks them is turned to dust... and then they are repaired in seconds.
IFV as "BRAIN SURGERY VEHICLE" keeps supports mastermind have cancer brain because too many exam LMAO
"angry velding noises intensify"
Mental Alpha
8:40 - 9:30 - the engineer in the tree who outsmarted the mastermind.
nice catch
"The mind is terrible thing to waste"
So the Mastermind can't tick for higher than it's maximum life, thus having it on rank 3 and providing it with sufficient Repair IFV's will allow it to control an infinite amount of units.
plus the armor upgrade and machine shops
But you can't achieve Elite for him...
Actually no, I just discovered this. You can mind control so many units by using the godmod (can be access through cheats) many but not infinite because once it reached a certain amount all of the mind controlled units will be released. I didn't counted them but yea it's too many. It still has a limit.
basically one veteran mastermind along with 8 ifvs can take up a whole brutal ai army, interesting
Can't be promoted though...
One mind to rule them all
One mind to find them
One mind to bring them all
And let the master bind them
@@deftdawg Map editors are a thing. You can make the Mastermind promotable on a per-map basis.
Just open the map (.map or .yrm or .yro) with Notepad and look for [MIND].
If it doesn't exist, then just write
[MIND]
Trainable=yes
@@CnCDune I can also make them shoot lightning and probably even fly... My comment is obviously referring to stock YR
@@deftdawg Flying masterminds? *Illegal*
The challenge was really awsome... You know your audience very well... Hahaha... Love it...
This channel is great... you should play with fans online sometime!
Was expecting "Hey! Spirit of the Law here" but realized it was wrong video
But just how cost effective are masterminds? Let's take a look.
Elephant Fact: African elephants have larger ears, a concave back, more wrinkled skin, a sloping abdomen, and two finger-like extensions at the tip of the trunk.
I love spirit. Really does have a similar energy to this
But have we ever seen spirit and tg on the same room? They may be the same person 👀
make the repairing IFVs facing toward the mastermind, cost less time to rotate the turret and repair
A true micro-managing god here!
@@chavzone me? but i'm actually poor and blunt at it
im surprised boris knows this much about allied technology hmm 🤔
@@0xVENx0 thank you, and i'm but a beginner compared with other modders
@@0xVENx0 he is a spy turned into boris
Chrono Legionnaires don't get killed by the Chronosphere teleport... It makes sense, but it's such a small detail that I never noticed before..!
Dude... That happened.. and I just went on line or war normal, forgetting that no other inf can do that and never thought of it
they dont WHAT?!
It's cause of their suits and equipment, they teleport all the time too.
Wait so if you chronosphere a bunch of legionaires it would be devastating
Since the duration of chronosphere's teleportation after effect is the same across all units regardless of the distance, it's pretty useful for launching a surprise Legionnaire squad attack from afar.
That's a very interesting test, man.
Love it!
Wait, Yuri Prime can not detect Spies, but a Clone of him can do that? Yuri, i'm dissapointet
he just doesnt bother.
Ye. Why do it himself when he can let his clones do it. Lol
Probably the devs made it that way to prevent a random spy will be mind controlled while the Yuri Prime is trying to handle a mass army
This is weird in a wiki:
"Like Yuri clones, Yuri Prime also can auto-detect and mind-control a disguised spy, with the sole exception if the spy disguises himself as a Yuri Prime."
Yuri feels insulted to use his power for mere spy
Appreciate the video, the ending is hilarious as always
Tg is good
Always learning new things. Can't wait for you doing comparisons in the Mental Omega mod....
Quiet, you...
The real mastermind is the TH-cam suggestion algorithm
Imagine if Mastermind can be promoted
More broken than 3 Battle Fortress with 5 GGI
Yes It can be promoted but not in the normal skirmish
You can do it via map editor
I see
Actually the most broken Battle Fortress mix is 4 GCI and 1 Seal. It can destroy terror drones in one hit this way (even though seals on their own can't do anything).
Have u tried battlefortress with 4GGI 1Leg?
I have tried 3 GGI with 1 Leg and Seal
It works perfectly
How to defeat mastermind/mind control:
Allied: dog, robot, harrier, transport chooper, prism tank
Soviet: terror drone, siege chooper, war miner
Yuri: It's only one true yuri
Yuri should be brute or disk.
Soviet more conscripts
I'm really happy to see recent videos about this game
Amazing work on the video
Thank you ! I Know I asked so many times, but its finally here, I haven't even watched it yet, I just went straight to the comments, thank you, even though you said there was nothing much to test, I will now brew a cup of tea and savor this video 🤣☺
Oomg
I was gona ask u for this video exactly
U just did it 😱😱
Great vid as always.
Now I can only think about the music...
6:42 at this point you can control infinitely many units with that Mastermind, once it enters the 11 units controlled range it never takes any further increased damage. :D
Had no idea the damage done by brainwave overload could be scaled by armor upgrades and promotion abilities, that's actually pretty neat.
Pretty sure the Mastermind didn't use Win 10 for OS. Otherwise, it would have to update and restart before it could masmerize its second victim.
oh no windows 10 that needs 2 minutes reboot almost every month, wow, such a disaster... upgrading linux kernel but not actually loading it much better!
Oh shit, hi youtube!
thanks for the shoutout, I see you use dark mode like a true patrician
really... this is really making my day.
I loved this video particularly
i think this is the most entertaining tg's experiment especially with the challenge 🤣🤣
10 mins of this video was is more worthy than my 4 years of college course :D
Nice video 😃
Best experiment ever ♥️
This is cool💙
These things were always so broken and overpowered
Which is why there's an unofficial patch to balance Yuri with things like limiting the Mastermind's capacity to 2 and increasing the Genetic Mutator timer.
@@Kiwijr2579... It's that the only things that patch did? I always wondered
@@jbowen867 I'm certain that also the chaos drone was made cheaper at 800 cash instead of 1000. Also, the gatling turret is more expensive and tank bunker is cheaper, so, in short, there are more changes than just the mastermind and genetic mutator.
@@jbowen867 I'm not sure what else was patched, but those are two things I noticed.
@@Kiwijr2579 limiting the capacity to 2 seems boring and against the design of the unit, it would make more sense to make it more lightly armoured, or to give it a slower movement speed each time it converts a unit or something like that
Now that's what I call a big brain move with the 8 IFVs
Never realized how powerful the mastermind was.... with assistance of crates plus ifv and machine shops...
and I'm just sitting here thinking "wait it can control more than 3?"
This is so cool. I swear.
Cool vid
There is no limit??? I am impressed! Excellent test! They are coming quite too soon aren't they? XD
No limit, but it'll eventually blow up over three
Thats what she said!
"WITH GREAT POWER - COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY."
Brainwave overload!
So it turns out that the mastermind had a BIG brain…
But how the hell? If there is a big brain in the vehicle does that mean that the brain is in control or is there a driver? And if the brain was in control was the brain speaking to you every time you select and order it? And if it did speak, how?
(*MIND BLOWN*)
I guess it is what they call "telepathy" (the ability to communicate using only one's mind)
Mastermind's mind blown, blown literally
Test the Superweapons
Weather control device vs Nuclear silo vs Psychic Dominator
Chronosphere vs Iron curtain vs Genetic mutator
Great video by the way :)
I have made videos for both !
My solution to Masterminds getting overloaded was just to make a shit ton of them.
that was fun, tnx
This and kanes wrath prodigy ruined so many lives.....
That's one massive headache.
6:13 Challenge accepted!
(several seconds later)
Recruitment for engineering project begins!
Master Mind + 8 Repair IFVs + 2 Machine Shops = Mini Psychic Beacon :D
Love your videos man, you're awesome!
P.D.: Could you also test *Elite Pillbox*?, It'll be really interesting that you test it.
If it's valid, I will!
Elite pillbox? Never heard of that thing...
Is that elite pillbox are mod from .ini file?
@@tsiripas Yep it´s valid, actually Elite Pillbox is gotten when it attacks and destroys an enemy Construction Yard,. I remember I saw that in a match.
@@charlievaldo5508 Nope, not working. Send me the link of that video if you can find it.
now THAT's a mastermind
You know it was a good game when people are still evaluating it 20 years later
24 mate cheers.
That's some Big brain move for a moving Big Brain
If only yuri could have thought of putting a master mind in his saucer
one carryall on ra 2/yuri would be a gamechanger
Woah that was quick. I mean the making of the video, you just posted that you want to do this video lol
this somehow reminded me of testing my rubber band's elastic limit
I didnt think of sustaining masterminds before, it gives me too much brain damage.
Mastermind: *Iron Curtain'd* IT'S FREE ESTATE
Hey tg, been following your RA2 videos for quite a time, have a question for you: Which game mod do you think is the best for RA2 and Yuri's Revenge? I personally played and enjoyed DeeZire mod for a long time, and I would love to see you testing the units and upgrades within that mode. Thanks and please keep feeding us with all these test videos!
Hey,
I haven't played any mod. I usually don't like them. :D
@@tsiripas I usually don't like them too, it feels like you are playing a different game but this one does not change the game and graphics so much, adds interesting units to play (like a new kind of Yuri unit which has a drastic range of mind control). But again, I was just curious if you know it or not :)
@@ulughanergin305 I've never made a search on mod so I don't even have heard o them.
Once I finish with RA2 content I may end doing about a mod.
3:52 you should have put this one into the engineer video! hehe :P
6:02 i think i have read somewhere that mastermind's limit is 10 units and if it goes above that number it will get instantly destroyed but i can't remember where i've read it though.
9:31 if you cheat everything is possible. :D
Not to say he was cheating though
Like what was shown at the end of the vid, you can make an alternative Mastermind by putting 5 Yuri clones in a Battle Fortress, and the advantage of that is it doesn't self destruct.
As far as I know Red Alert 2, for the first time I felt sorry for the Master Mind. So the poor fellow did not even swing the terror drone.
Good day to you sir. Love your vids as always my friend. Also a question, was that one person who always whispers in your ears MO banned or he didn’t see this vid yet?
Hehe, didn't really notice!
tg yup. My guess is he didn’t notice..
Epic
Okay now I will always have legionnaires handy for these.
Look how far they have come since House Ordos gave us the Deviator
mastetmind to yuri clones BF: not bad kid, not bad
is it possible to mind control a battle fortress filled with yuri clones, and then have they yuri clones inside it to mind control something else
Inception...
Ah i see, you are a man of culture as well
That could possibly trigger bugs especially when the the battle fortress was released from mind control. Usually the game doesn't let you mind control mind controlling units, so it might not be able to calculate the chain of control getting released correctly.
@@SimonClarkstone Chaining Mind Controlling units actually totally works as expected at every stage. I guess it just doesn't let you do it normally for balance reasons.
@@Templarfreak
Oh neat! Seems they put in the effort for a feature that never got used in the game then!
Did anyone notice that mastermind's engine is bubbling while moving ? 😅
We are on a diplomatic mission
*"BE ONE WITH YURI"*
Soylent Green for Yuri!
We're going to need more engineers!
This is what we called *Big brain*
Now I know why my rush of 100 grizzly tanks didn't work on a AI Yuri lol
Or you could have focused the mind controllers...
1. 1:40 Correction: Anything mind controlled by a Psychic Dominator cannot be mind controlled under any other influence OTHER THAN another Psychic Dominator.
2. The Mastermind won't automatically mind control Mirage Tanks assuming they're camouflaged and healthy, making a Mirage Tank ambush an excellent counter to Masterminds.
3. I believe the Mastermind has just slightly shorter range than the Infantry and even the structure, but the difference is so slight. And also, doesn't the Mastermind regenerate over time assuming it's not overloaded with minds?
1. I didn't know about the first one although it can make sense since dominator breaks mind control.
2. That has to do with an advantage Mirage tanks have though .
3. Yes, it has self-repair!
@@tsiripas About #1, yea, through my own experimentation and gameplay experience, I've proved the STRATEGY GUIDE wrong!
I quote: "Once dominated by this device, a unit falls permanently under Yuri's control. Nothing, not even the destruction of the Psychic Dominator, can release it from mental slavery."
I am the... Brainwave, OVERLOADS!
Let's have a meeting with the mind
A battlefortress with 5 yuri clones inside... a mastermind
Why would you call it the Mastermind, it should obviously have been called the THINK TANK!!!
Now THAT is a "Master"Mind
I noticed that the repair IFVs lose some time turning their crane over. Maybe turning them correctly would help?
If it weren't for keeping your eyes on it because it can explode if it is exceeded, it would be a very good option for the YURI CLONE. As much as it was limited to only 3 units. Because of that, I never use it.
Mastermind is the real Big Brained Moment
Playing crates on can promote MasterMinds. (Same with Battle Fortress, run around collecting promotions, then attack with all elite units lol.)
Crates can't promoted Masterminds.
I need IFV engineer to repair my brain after the final exam
MasterMind and Yuri Prime delegate spy-detecting duties. That's what being management is all about. 😉
We're on diplomatic mission
*runs away*
It's weird that it wouldn't detect spies, I always thought it would. I wonder if that was an oversight or deliberate by the devs.
I notice that all these videos are on the same map; do you record all of these tests in one match, or do you just really like this map for testing?
I have multiple save files which I use depending on the test. I like this map since it offers everything I want.
If Westwood ever got a chance to update the game past 1.001, yuri might not be that OP. But yeah, it is what it is.
Good video as always.
I never knew more Machine Shops or Hospitals stack. I alays thought that if you have 1 you get the maximum possible effect.
What would happen if a regular (Not an Elite) Mastermind Tank on IFV life support was Iron Curtained before mind controlling its 11th victim? Would it still explode?
You should direct all IFVs stright to Mastermind, so they won't waste a time by turning their repair tools to him.
I hope you get what I'm trying to say, because my eng is "Nah!"
DownRainDrop I know I just didn’t bother because even the placement was and it wasn’t needed anyway !
@@tsiripas yeah, fair enough
that poor brain, 8 IFV life support
And at this moment I realized you can use the Chronosphere on chrono infantry without killing them.
any unit does not have a turret for firing, won't fit into a tank bunker
war miner fits into a tank bunker, but it won't go out of it properly
edit: war miner fits into a tank bunker after you change the parameter, then it won't go out of the bunker properly, most times it would be stuck, sometime else it would not be stuck
chronosphering may help
WW deliberately made specific units unable to enter Tank Bunkers with Bunkerable=no.
Tho I'm not sure if turrets have anything to do with it...
@@CnCDune you can change this parameter of some turretless vehicles like mirage tank or battle fortress and try
furthermore, you may make a mirage tank have a turnable turret after changing the "Bunkerable" parameter then try again
once inside the tank bunker, the chassis of the vehicle is locked, they can only turn the turret to switch between targets and fire at them
You can test mental omega units
Can't wait for chaos drone review
P.S: mastermind tank seems have a minimal self-repair ability(w/o tech buildings nor promotion). Could you please check it if you can?
Yes, it has a self heal ability.
Also, chaos drone has already been done!
@@tsiripas The sound still haunting me.
@@FreedomFighterEx Hehehe!
@@FreedomFighterEx the sound broke the 4th wall, yeah
@@tsiripas Wow thanks, see you in chaos drone video that you have done XD
