My god... this really is hard i wouldn't have the patience to do even 10 mins of this. good job man !
One of the things you forgot to do was sell second mcv and radar. That gives you nearly 2k to boost your economy.
Come to think I didn't even notice those 2 structures.
@@tsiripas haha. I think there are a lot of things to do in the beginning that catch your attention
@@DanielNguyen2003 Read my direct comment to the video (about Tesla Coils). Yes, I noticed the secondary structures on the second attempt but by then tgSacred already controlled the game as the key was keeping the Iron Curtain up. Extra cash wasn't really that big a deal.
10:57 just dropped my jaw when saw these prism towers wall😱
😂😂😂😂
I didn't thought that was difficult.
But real I enjoyed alot 😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome well played 👍🏼👍🏼
Keep up the good work.
Same! It's like when I saw it at first, my soul has gone to vacation, my stomach felt twisted, and my heart felt heavy like a cold anchor. I mean, this is the 3 mission so I'm not even surprised to see something more shitty than this 😆
Edit: 15:50 okay now that's a wall of bullsht
you could mindcontrol aegis for anti carriers solution
Wouldn't help much since it'll fire once, forget target, fire once, repeat.
Unless the map creator disabled that mechanic...
This really does not seem like a fun campaign.. it's just nothing but elite tanks and excessive scripted OP attacks.
Yeah this looks awful to play honestly, like something I would have made as a kid.
+1
Fun side, yes but hard challenges are not supposed to be fun. Yes It’s way too challenging to me. More units of enemy = more difficult especially if the enemy has veteran units.
@@MaimiZhang You realize it doesn't matter how hard the game is supposed to be. It still needs to hold up it's end of the bargain, being fun that's what games are supposed to do. This mod is clearly the opposite of fun and I really don't see anyone getting any satisfaction aside from finishing the entire Campaign.
@@JuliusCeazarthe2nd if doing math or chemist is fun, everybody gonna do it
Every mission have a key
First one miners
Second ships attack
Third prism tank
Nice ideas
I don't know why, but when Sofia said "Welcome to New York", I was looking at this nuclear reactor that on fire and thinking "welcome my ass"
Yeah, I think her greeting is sarcasum when applied here
XD
....Sheesh, creator really wanted everyone to relive Vietnam's history of tenacity. It goes beyond fun.
It seems the improved AI has turned the mirage tanks into army killers. The wave that spawns halfway through the beacon countdown kept crushing your wall of rhinos.
even the enemy tanks are very obsessed in destroying the MCV
enemy tank arsenal includes Prism Tanks & Mirage Tanks in the earlier Mission, beyond expectation
45:49 was some comedy
“Ok we’re all done let’s move these guys up t…….. WAIT WAIT WAIT THE WALL!”
Defending Psychic Beacon:
Real campaign: 5 in-game minutes
Reworked: 13:20 in-game minutes
Reworked (hard version): 25 in-game minutes
What about a one hour version in-game minutes 😆
You and Zoom are keeping these games alive
Oh man... those Reworked campaigns within Mental Omega would be so sick. Nice job tg :)
Yeah, really seems like standart MO mission)
IFV with an engineer inside it for fast repair of Apocalypses?
some tesla troopers for better tank busting?
Iron Curtained flak truck full of engineers that capture their production facilities? )
Well, at least Par Time was updated to fit the actual map length heh.
I've got mixed feelings about this one. It is certainly very challenging and taxing, it does feel indeed as if you were fighting an actual army (in default version, it was a bit suspicious that Allies would have not used bigger force to protect New York, alas, the constant flow of triple veterancy units or Prism Tower wall feels obscenely over the top, as in, the layout does not look like besieged town and more like a bunker - that's a bit of drawback here as I see it.
Although the final defense scene with deployed Beacon makes sense. Not only having it deploy for more than 5 minutes, but also the fact that Allies throw literally everything at you (I suppose, if they expected the device to mind control everyone, it makes perfect sense to send literally everything they could on a daring assault).
And even after all that it was close. What an insane mod.
15:50 Oh s--t! I'm gonna give up.
Mind: No! You shound to win this match!
Im remember playing this a few months ago. It was challenging but fun. This... this is nuts.
15:50 Maginot Line is the nutshell
Say hello to Einstein's Manhattan Chamber Street Line
Hahaha, hello there
Maginot Line là gì z?

Very interesting to watch!
finaly where you been man we need video every day please :) 🙃
Impossible!
Haha. It takes him a lot of time, if it is lucky, he just tries the map 2 times, after that he spends more than 3 hours editting and 3 hours more for uploading. Seem if he uploads video everyday, it should be short and easy to make, not waste so much time, which is not the video all of us expect
I had a nightmare about this mission recently... It came alive.
Amazing job
when you figure out there's apocalypse tank feel relieved 😌 BTW that laugh is kinda creepy
Ah MadHQ, the modder that makes the allies more into human waves than the soviets. That shows understanding of the (supposed) ethos of each faction!
These harder versions were by someone else, by Discord user Nguyễn Trọng Đăng based on MadHQ's reworks.
10 mins of total pain ... but also the rest of it ... wow...
I THINK The Fox and The Hound mission WILL BE THE DIFFICULT SOVIET MISSION WE WILL PLAY
what a crazy mission
And H.P. Lovecraft said that dogs are inferior to cats when it comes to approachability and worth.
Pretty handle-able mission as evidenced here. Since you were able to survive for an extended time - as long as the Iron Curtain was up - more on that "trigger" will be discussed below.
You were also playing with fire - Rhinos are more expendable than Apocs and more agile, Rhinos able move out of range of the Prisms quicker. I wouldn't ever send the Apocs vs the Prism barricade. I'd Iron Curtain 9 Rhinos and use drive thru tactic to clear the Prism blockade. And best part is this - because Rhinos are so expendable they can even be used as suicide units on that Prism blockade. I might not even bother retreating the 9 Rhinos if I didn't feel like it.
33:07 Neat trick to mind control the Prism Tank. This is a big move in Starcraft as Protoss as the new Terran/Zerg units do not consume from your psi upkeep. Not so big in RA2 where units are more expendable. Plus you have the Iron Curtain to clear the Prism barricade - already more than enough.
47:35 I already knew. In your first attempt I noticed the Mirage Tanks came, but in the subsequent attempts they didn't. The "trigger" had to be the Iron Curtain.
Clearing of the Prism blockade wasn't done as optimally/elegantly because there are better options than Apocs. Assault on the bases were very slow/late. I also already correctly guessed that capturing Allied production doesn't give much in the way of high tech units. Rocketeers were meh because this ain't a naval map. I like it that there were no Tesla Coils available so players were forced to use Rhinos. Have you mastered Rhino usage yet? I will suggest to Đăng Nguyễn Trọng - don't make Tesla Coils available in just about any Soviet level - let players learn to use the "Rhino defensive dance". It can be done. That was what I have been doing the whole time - Tesla Coils are a scam - they should only appear in Red Revolution and never again in any Soviet level. Even in level 7 when you defend at the Ural mountains - Sentry Guns are enough.
Nothing much to this mission other than surviving the beginning. Not much else to comment on.
EDIT: In fact there is more to comment on. The blockade wall could be totally ignored by just sending vehicles across with the Iron Curtain, and in this way also capture production structures across and have 2 sides operating independently. But replay this mission a few times and at least spend 1 attempt destroying the blockade for practice. Also, I earlier said Rocketeers were meh. Well, they are actually very strong in this level. Too strong in fact. I just thought it would be a good personal challenge if people didn't use Rocketeers. I totally missed the part where your Rocketeers were to face Allied AA at the endgame - not flak - and so your Rocketeers would then fare better. Rocketeers are still situational, though. Just as people tend to overuse Rhinos, there are people who will overuse Rocketeers. In fact, even without Rocketeers, this level contains many other options - you could go Rhinos, GIs, V3s to shell the spawn points, and of course the Rocketeers. All are strong units. All are good options. But Rocketeers are particularly stronger in this scenario. Yes, so there you have it - Rocketeers are not meh. I take that back.
I use apocalypse tanks because I like them. They tend to give me a feel of satisfaction. Apocalypse are also much stronger against buildings so taking down prism towers might have been a problem with rhinos.
@@tsiripas I completely agree with you on that. But there was an intervening wall of Prism Tanks guarding the towers and my idea was that Rhinos have the DPS needed to pop those Prism Tanks in the short amount of time the Iron Curtain is in effect. When you are left with the Patriots and Prism Towers then Apocs can go in unmolested by the Prism Tanks - which have a longer range too so if the Apocs didn't run away in time the beams could catch up :(
holy shit this mission is longer than the entire original campaign probably, lol
11:53 It was at this moment you knew...The Apocalypse Has Begun!
This is the ugliest map I had the dubious pleasure of seeing. In fact, in every way, this is the opposite of what a good campaign mission or rework should be.
33:25 satan mode activated >:)
15:18 best 3 seconds in the video xd
however, it was oddly entertaining to see you beat this mission although it's hot garbage (talking about unit spam and having to spam more to win), it's just stupid logic, and not difficult, rather time consuming.
Those Aircraft Carriers wouldn't have been that much of a problem if you were allowed to build Subs and Scorps.
Biggest annoyance at the beginning is how the IFV's missiles can attack your turrets on the cliff. Tesla Coils would be great at this stage, and would make sense from a lore-standpoint when one considers Soviet tech from RA1.
11:09 tg is a man of culture
17:20 If that is the case, then a crate must've been scripted to spawn nearby. Crate boon can't be assigned to units/buildings via map editing, they must collect a crate or be in the crate effect-radius.
And the same boons don't stack, lucky you.
22:08 you have an Outpost to fix your tanks, right there! :P
23:27 you could always put 5 Rhinos under the IC too. Would help, and get them promoted. Elite Rhinos are not Elite Apocs, but they're still terrifying.
"I used the Prisms to destroy the Prisms" - tg
Hey tg!
Thanks for the nice content!
I have a recommendation for you, if you want, you can play some fan-made missions, for a sake of diversification.
I have some interesting missions if you want!
Thanks again.
That last minute of the end was just Invasion of the trees
waiting for the next mission!! 😇😇😇
what a crazy sloggish lvl
Why didn't you mind control the aegis cruiser near you and use it against the aircraft carrier? Also you could have used an engineer with an IFV to repair all the tanks or at least the elite apocalypse tanks.
For the Aegis, I didn't even think of it. For the IFV I just didn't bother.
@@tsiripas oh, i just think you see it's useless :((. In the first edit i didnt add aegis but then see aircrap carriers are dangerous so i decided to add it but you did not mind control it
Nice extra Hard 💪💪💪💪💪💪
Looks like the Allies spent the whole budget on prism towers and patriots.
4:08 use yuri to control the aegies cruiser. I think it was put there to deal with the AC.
Yeah. This is my purpose
15:19 😂😂😂😂😂 you scard me bro
Did you seen that demolition truck at first technical station? Yuri+iron curtain would fastened defence destruction. And I think that neutral Aegis cruiser was there not for nothing
Was that a Demolition Truck? Because there is a civilian truck that uses that model as well and it doesn't explode in a spectacular fashion...
Somewhere Alstar hates apocos
man that outro. thats just everyones luck. come up with a great plan for a stupid dog to ruin it
xD
LOL, well that was interesting. I wonder if an all-to-hunt loop trigger would help the stuck units on the edge of the map in the last defense part would help the units that get stuck?
That's why i asked you about this. I will try later
lol it was so funny how when u loss at end u just reset with even more units
The madHQ reworked version is very nasty mission
I wonder how many V2 you need to breat the line, lel.
Holy shit first 2 min and already bunch of elite army spawned nearby kekw
Amazing play through. I think you missed a trick by not using yuri to mind control the neutral elite aegis cruiser to counter the aircraft carriers. Would've been interesting too see if it was a 100% counter.
Yeah didn’t cross my mind. 😅
You should have a built War factory and Barracks right beside the World Trade Center. They should keep of producing units as the enemy attacks. The war factories outside that are lost.
For me, 1 hour to complete each Remastered Mission because I like to investigate all the map and compare with the original and find alternative ways to win, and now 😰, each mission could be 2 or 3 hours and a lot of fails probably in the beginning. I will suffer😅
Sanity in insanity.
TG : I'm not playing Mental Omega yet.
TG after Soviet M3 Reworked : *What have I done*
I think tg spam too many rhinos, he can spam half of that amount and build Rocketers, it will help cause you can see Rocketers easily kill those Prism tank, the RHINOS cant without a large group
Everybody gangsta till TGsacred had enough
"Warning, enemy armour battalion detected" - ah lieutenant Sofia, did you mean half of the Allied army?
Also you could have used the crate from the left twin tower for healing your troops once the last wave commenced
Only 5 minutes in so bit early to call but mind control that aegis in the corner for the aircraft carrier shroud reveal? 🤔
how can you play that game, i have it on origin but it´s lagging so i can only get like 15-20 fps
You need to install Yuri's Revenge CnCNet it fixes the lag issue for the base game.
I am curious, are the cutscenes absent on these missions or you just cut the cutscenes on the edit? Well, I guess it’s not needed anyway but it’s just more fun with cutscenes. 😁 I enjoy watching these missions.
I believe they are. I have to include the cinematics.
@@tsiripas yeah, you should
@@tsiripas I’m looking forward for the next missions. And hopefully allied version.
@@DanielNguyen2003 hope you can do it on Yuri’s revenge as well. You did great IMO.
The first thing that comes to my mind is why doesn't the title have [Edited Harder Version]? It's easy, isn't it?
I won't talk about selling building, mind-control aegis cruise and using only 4 Apocs instead of adding 5 Rhinos because someone has already talked about it. I also told you about using Rocketeers a little more instead of spamming too many Rhinos.
But I forgot to say that you should disperse your force instead of using the T key to pull all the force to one place which weakens the defense elsewhere. It can be a fatal weakness but luckily you passed it. Congratulations!
Just a small note to you that you should not place your units in places where enemies will appear because it can cause errors like enemy units will be outside of the map where you cannot attack them but they can do it with your units.
Dude, I think some Ifv with engineers inside will make it a bit more durable and no need to back and forth waiting for regen
Extra hard AI bot blue
15:19 Goodll)) l
Yeah this seems anti fun, my strat would be an overwhelming Rockie spam. Allied anti air is really bad at dealing with Rockies only elite ifvs have any chance have a couple thousand of those guys scattered around the spawn points and you'd prolly have a fairly easy time in the survival phase at the end
There is an enemy anti-air ship down with the oil... Use it to stop all air attack from sea...
It might be easier to farm like 15-20 elite v3s on the carriers then just whittle at the wall slowly?
you don't even need to farm them on the carriers. 15-20 V3s targetting the SAMs in squads of 6 per 3 launchers will surely deal with them. (Target 6 on a SAM and 3 sams so you don't waste salvos and take them out faster)
And after he got the prism tank (I had no idea there were prism tanks left for capture at that stage), why the hack did he stop at 1? Just repeat the strategy two more times and you don't even need V3s.
Now tgsacred is scared the spam enemy by the editer Nguyen Trong Dang
Very rough mission)
There's some Missions for yuri I wish you could Make vedioa for them
When you download from the Discord Server, do you just paste the map into the directory?
Yes but you also need to paste the original save file of that mission which is also in the discord level. You load that save file and once the mission starts go to menu and restart. Now it will start in the edited level.
Hi man , do you play in multiplayer Red Alert 2 ? Plan to relearn it in future and would like to have a buddy to play with , I am also living in Europe.
Hey, sorry I am not interested in multiplayer.
@@tsiripas ok , so you play only single player.
looks like in this universe trump actually built the wall
How do you play in Ra2 in 2022? Is that some kind of remake?
No, I just use the origin version.
This hard version that make me sick. I guess i can't pass it through
Where do you extract the download files for this mod? I can't seem to figure it out...
You need to extract them in your directory but in order to load the map you have to do this:
Download the save file of the respective mission and throw it in your directory as well.
Enter the game and load that save file. The game will begin in the original mission.
Now go to menu and press restart mission and the new mission will be loaded.
@@tsiripas pls read the note in my comment
Green
That was a rather inefficient use of units, not like your other videos, tbh.
So many wasted opportunities.
Engineers combined with captured IFVs to repair your tanks (especially the Apocalypses)
Not garrisonning any of the buildings close to your base.
IFV with tesla trooper for defence?
IFV with GI for defence?
IFV with non-occupied Yuri.
Why stop at 1 prism tank?
Why keep the V3s occupied with the carriers after unlocking the rocketeers, and placing them in the same spot. Leave the rocketeers there and use V3s to level the wall of towers.
Also, how did you get those reworked missions? And do they work on the original RA2? I've got it from Origin when it was available for free, and I would like to try them myself. (Assuming I can get that piece of junk to work on piece of junk Windows 10 laptop
That's because I neglected completely Yuris. All I wanted was Yuris to just convert the upcoming forces and let them destroy themselves. That frees their mind control to keep doing it for the rest game.
Could have used IFV with an engineer but apocalypse repair fast and by the time IC was ready they were on full health already. Plus, I had a service depot in the area where I used them the most.
Garrisons are very quite weak in this level. It would be just a waste of time.
Why would I need to use IFV for defense when Yuris where already preventing almost everything? IFV are weak, sooner or later they would be destroyed. Would you just keep capturing them and trying to protect them and bother yourself with garrisoning inside a unit all the time? Unless it's a key unit to win a mission I wouldn't bother.
I obviously stopped at one prism because there was no need for another one.
The missions are uploaded in the discord server. It's mentioned in the video description.
@@tsiripas Don't worry you kinda got this level. I actually disagreed with that comment.
"Garrisons are very quite weak in this level. It would be just a waste of time." Finally you said it. I see some streamers go garrisons for everything. Importantly a player should know when are garrisons useful, how they're useful.
IFVs are considered cheese play. The best way is to combine with Spy, get veteran IFVs, let them spend their early life as GI-turrets then they promote so fast to elite, then unload them and enjoy your MLRS. You don't even need repair IFVs for this level but good to have - so I'm on the fence with Engi-IFV. They're rather for Rhinos, not Apocs!
V3s are ironically better versus units than structures. Although their damage type is geared towards structures, in terms of utility, the V3s function as anti-naval or anti-chokepoint, in AI games of course, works wonders. Like over here.
The only issue or inefficient use of units would be Rhinos and Iron Curtain. You could have mopped the map with them if you mastered the Rhino. And Iron Curtain making them even more deadlier. They are the reason Tesla Coils are obsolete - in my possible mod idea I'd rather remove Tesla Coil from Soviet tech tree and only have it unlocked under stress scenarios - but the new unlocked version having more health or damage to make it scarier.
Lab defense is smth like:
unit lost
unit promoted
unit lost
unit promoted
unit lost
unit promoted
structure abandoned
unit lost

These are no fun at all. Mental Omega instead perhaps?
Tg just spams too many rhinos instead of rocketers, you can see rocketers can deal easily with prism tanks
@@DanielNguyen2003 The problem wasn't too little Rocketeers - tgSacred had enough Rocketeers. The problem was their positioning. The first few times tgSacred got overwhelmed, I had noticed the pattern where you the map maker spawned those waves - at the roads leading from the edges of the map. The Rocketeers could have been placed there. But in my main/direct response to the video - I sounded a little over-confident about Rocketeers being meh - I have revisited this and found that Rocketeers were the optimal solution here - especially for people new to this map - but for subsequent attempts and for added challenge - I believe it is possible to forgo Rocketeers and just Soviet units are enough to defend and beat the level. Sometimes I speak too soon because my thinking may be too far ahead to be understood or followed without context.
