I'm going to make gaming content, and focus primarily on Tempest Rising. I grew up on Command & Conquer, so I have a passion for this spiritual successor. I'm not a pro gamer. I'll make tons of misplays and misclicks will abound. Hopefully anyone passing by and give me some tips to make me better.
The purpose of this channel is to share something that I love, and for myself, to self-document my improvement. If you enjoy anything here and it makes you a little happier, well then that's a win in my book. While waiting for Tempest Rising to drop, and during those middle moments, I will also be posting other games I enjoy.

I'm sorry this got delayed on the upload. I mentioned in another video, but my finger got chewed on in a dog bite.

Which puts more on my plate now, and will definitely add a lot in April when it's born. I expect I won't be able to continue a...

So I'll just explain it here, but the reason I missed about a week of video is that the dog bit my wife, and I was there to get it off, but it went after me too. Fortunately he's not a big dog. My wife is okay. I got most of the damage. But due to the big clumsy bandage and the numbness on my right index finger I just decided not to record as much. I realize that in the video I use the word "at...

Century Bombers Coming Out Too Late - 2v4HardAI
It's been a long time since you last uploaded anything. Hope everything is all good mate!
Damn! Xeloxi declaring war just at the right time. Surprised they were so strong too! Even without dreadnought cheese. Just at the end you mentioned maybe having a fleet on smaller ships, I think thats definitely the way to go. Fighters to counter bombers, bombers to counter big ships. Might need to invest more into manufacturing for some of your planets. No point taking 8 turns to pump out 1 ship if it can get taken out by a few little bombers. I personally dont really worry about pollution so much once my population is close to cap. But a Barratak Grove run could be cool! You would be good with them I think because they hate pollution. Cant figure out why the AI seems to dominate with them. Solid run though! So close to getting the terror stars going 😢 Looking forward to the next one or checking out that new game too
Congratulations on the pregnancy
Thanks so much boss!
Nice win.. ig I do it easier.. I just went for fast rocket angels.. didn't even go for 4 ore refineries.. and with the first 4 rocket angels I destroyed their veteran academies.. after that your teammates will have a clear advantage so you'll have time to prepare a new wave of rocket angels to get the enemies bases.. Another thing I focus to do is just destroying the MCV, tank factories and docks for the enemies.. like that they'll not be able to build any new buildings which gonna make it even easier..
That's a smart way to do it. I thought about a rocket angel rush but didn't think it could be done quick enough. It's impressive you could pull it off 👍
Congrats on the pregnancy 💙🔥
Thank you very much!! 😃😃
Hoping to see the next episode soon!
I wanna get it up soon. I got delayed because a dog went after my wife and I had to jump in to get it off. The dog is on the small side, so not a lot of injuries, but all of mine are on the right index finger. Which made gaming tricky for a while. I'll get the continued episode up soon though, as the bandages come off.
@AxofAjax Bloody hell that's frightening! Lucky no serious injuries. Hope you have a quick recovery. Did your dog help in the fight? I've heard him bark in your videos once or twice
The recovery is going faster than expected. Originally the doctors thought my wife would need stitches and my finger would need surgery, but they changed their mind on both after some monitoring.
Congrats on the pregnancy 🎉
Thank you very much! 😃
Nice try.. if the first rocket angels push was with your allies it should be a win ig.. I played a little different.. again, I'll tell you once you beat it.. you might even want to try my way cause it's extreeemely easy😂😂
Yeah it's unfortunate I picked the wrong target. I definitely snatched defeat from the jaws of victory 😂 I look forward to hearing how you handled it.
nice clickbait shameless mf
Bro put the tempest rising banner in the thumbnail for an RA3 video.
I did, though it's probably time to remove it.
🔥🔥
Your challenge is up next 👍
If you take navy superiority just make Dreadnoughts, than you can easiliy deal with your opponent.
Dreadnoughts are great! They can really drop the hammer. My only quibble with it on this map is that they get locked in their pond and can't bring their firepower to bear on the other bases.
Nice one🔥 I guess empire is the easiest.. or maybe I got lucky teammates 🤷🏻♂️😅
Empire up next! Let's see how it goes 👍
Nice one.. What I did to win was a super early tanya.. I rushed at the middle one and destroyed both his mcv and tank factory.. so it was like 3v2 since the 6th minute which is very easy to win.. Btw I also could win 3v2 all allies with the same strategy 😁🔥 When you want another challenge tell me🔥
That's a pretty solid strategy. How did you get the Tanya in there? IFVs or riptides?
And sure, what other challenge do you got?
@AxofAjax riptides But to get it very quickly, I didn't expand to the water.. only took 3 ore refineries in my side and immediately went for tanya
@AxofAjax Same map 3v3 brutals with empires but with extra restrictions: 10k start cash again No super weapons Only dojo core (you're not allowed to build mecha core or docks core), in case of stealing the enemy airbase, tank factory, or dock, it's ok to build forces from it You can build defences, but only on your half side of the map.. so if you stole one of their ore refineries, you won't be able to build defences near it
That's a smooth strat. I can see how the AI would have a hard time with it.
First view🔥
Thank you 👍
I just wanted to say thank you showing every battle. Even the losses. It's always a lesson for the next battle. Can't grow without some loss.
Absolutely 💯 I'm not embarrassed to post my L's. I make no claim to greatness. And every loss has a reason that can be avoided next time 👍
Nicely done. I always find it hard to win with the allies. The soviets seem to have a huge advantage. Do you find the allies naval to be average
I think the allies navy can be devastating in the hands of someone with high APM. But that's not me 😂😂 So in my hands it's average, yeah.
Nice one.. Winning with allies is the hardest I guess.. I can tell you how I won it if you want😅 empire was extremely easy
I would definitely like to hear. But let me know after I win. I'd like to enjoy the puzzle 👍
Only 60% rating on Steam. Not good.
Yikes, I didn't know the recent reviews were that low. I like it though 😃
I saw the 3v3 brutal in warm up 28 but you started with 30k cash, I wanna see a 3v3 10k start cash if it's possible 😅
Ahhh, I gotcha! I can try to do that 👍 But it gives me nightmares to think about 🤣🤣
@AxofAjax I tried it many times, but couldn't win😂💔
I'll give it my best shot! 👍
lol I search for soviet march on youtube then I get suggested this video, glad to see people are still playing RA3.
Thanks for commenting. Interesting to hear how YT brought this to you. Let me recommend you do a search for Sybert. He frequently posts casting videos for PvP RA3 matches of players who are much better than I am.
Can you try 3v3 brutal?
Thanks for the request. I can do some more 3v3 Brutal for sure. I did do some already, back in Warmup 29-31. That's why for now I'm doing lopsided 2v4s, and working my way up to all Brutals. You can check Warmup 29 here: ruclips.net/video/YAH0SnlKdQw/видео.html
Nicely done
Thank you, appreciated.
Nice game, man. You almost had it. Just needed Moskin to hold out a bit longer
Thanks man 👍 I think if he had held up for another 60 seconds or so it could have gone a long way. Perhaps it was my fault for not directing more resources to his defense.
You put a ton of resources into his defence. What difficulty do you set your teammate to
The teammate is Hard Ai. It's decent. But not capable of seeing that it has opportunities to push out. The AI algorithms can't really understand co-op play, sadly.
You must accept the reality of having done what you are doing; is to be 'impossible' unless you are quick with sideway attacking and the chronosphere. There have been some adjustments made to the AI since the days i have been playing this in 2009 and or PC development making the AI a LOT faster. The AI also has a short advantage over you when starting the game. I played this map with a ally from the Center side and i succeeded somewhat untill the co-player was hit by the 'psionic decimator' and did not restore from it. When on the island you can spread your buildings enough to take a few hits from the decimator without losing.
You are right that I have to be quicker with my attack if the chronosphere plan is to going to work. I think I got over confident with my macro. I agree that center island is the place to win. 👍 But that feels a bit cheesy to me. I'll probably end up trying it. But I wanted to make the attempt on the outside first.
I highly recommend putting the starting credits to 10k I know the AI builds faster and has more cash I guess, but it's more fun and challenging. 😊
I agree that it's more challenging. But I'm already losing so often I'm not sure I want the extrad difficulty stacked on 🤣
Didn't watch the video yet Great video!
Thanks for commenting. I hope you enjoy it when you get the time to relax and have a view 👍
Nicely done, man. Good to see you getting more views.
Thank you 👍 I appreciate the kind sentiment.
I want to see the losses! It’s good content. Well done by the way! 🎉
Thanks, man I appreciate it. I guess I felt like the losses were too similar in style. Not losing in varied ways. But I'll keep what you said in mind 👍
empire's anti air isn't great. have you considered playing using the uprising expansion? archer maidens aren't amazing but they give you an early anti air option that doesn't require the mecha bay
That's a great point. I used to have Uprising on a different launcher back in the day. It was a good expansion, I think. Unfortunately I don't have it on Steam. And that's money I'd rather spend on Tempest Rising, whenever the heck it comes it out. But I do have to agree. The upgrade to Empire's anti-air was a good move for the expansion and something that faction sorely needed.
Sweet revenge! Great comeback looking forward to the next one! Funny how big that dreadnaught was and it wasn't even fully scaled up 😅 I've been designing a ship to have max sensor capacity and adding one of those to my fleets might be helpful for you
Thank you. You are right! I definitely need to get more specific support ships mixed into my fleets, like a sensor ship, a healer, a command ship as well. Next play will be nihilism and terror stars. I'll try with the Cosmic Contaminant. I've never played as them before.
@@AxofAjax That should be a lot of fun!
Make dreadnoughts, they are also good at defending the base
That's a good call. Dreadnaughts would work well here. The long range coupled with the close proximity of the enemy base would go well together.
You did it! GOOD JOB
Thank you, I appreciate it! Wow, it really wasn't easy, but once we got the strategy figured it out things started falling into place. This win felt good 👍
Nice try🤟🤟
Thank you. It was such a close one. A hard loss, but lessons were learned, so in the end I got better and I'm also satisfied with that.
i feel like the partner ai is intentionally worse than the enemy ai for some reason
I know right!! It's like a classic "enemy boss after you unlock him as a playable character." The base expansion algorithm particularly seems to take a hit.
tbf she's just air spam and they go down quick with one wrong move
@@CuddleCakez True enough.
Good to watch you stared strong
Thanks man 💪 I wanted to try and pull it out if I could. But that carrier was a significant resource loss.
playing simcity :D
💯 That's one of my favorite ways to play an rts 👍
tanya flipped on the air :D
I know right! She's such a fun commando. The best one of the three I think.
Damn! It was looking really good there. Like you said building up a bigger fleet on the backburner rather than dumping so many turns into supply ships might have saved you from getting overrun. I think once you got the factory up and running it was probably time to invest into a whole fleet or two of cruisers. And some of the smaller worlds that can pump out bombers/fighters in one turn. I wonder if building a couple star bases near the tech planet to boost culture would have been enough to keep it yours? Would love to see what you plan for the next run. Maybe go nihilistic and go for a terror star?
I know.. you really summed up my feelings well. I guess my big Achilles heel in gaming is that i like building up the industry so much that I'm too late to start using it. A real shame. This run was looking so good. Next run will be much more war based, but still a progressive ideological tree. And then the run after that I'm definitely going for terror stars. I'm thinking a single sector map. I haven't done one in GalCiv 4 yet. Gonna be tons of fun 👍
you are still worthy
Thank you I appreciate the kind words. I'm thinking of trying some 1v2 action soon to see if I can handle even more.
Hi Alex, is there a way to contact you for a sponsorship? I don't see an email in your bio.
Hi, I'm just a nobody, I'm not sure why you'd be interested in a sponsorship with me. If I like the game and think it's fun then I'll be honest about it. My email is axofajax@gmail.com
Stingrays on land? Bruh, AI. They are a bit weak unit past early game. I think collectors resist vindi bombs, bombing the ref might be more bomb-efficient. Did I see heroic century bomber :o?
I think you're right that you get more dage per bomb on refineries. But that sweet spot is hitting the ore collector while in the refinery 🤌 Hard to justify putting the attention into that though. Yeah a heroic century bomber does work for sure. A but terrifying for an enemy to see.
That stuck carrier I cant explain, but you did not try to cronoswap it
Now that would have been thinking on my feet! Excellent idea!
Kirov reporting
I love the kirovs! "Manoeuvre props engaged."
Well, I had some record on this map against Insane AI, normally I'll not use Navy, in early time, expend base for at least 3 oil drill, then try to get more oil drill when expend base. More practice will be help, I started from 8-Bit Armies, then most skills I learned from that, need some adjust for 9-Bit Armies, but still useful. Tech lab is important, but in early time, 3 motorpools can make sure enough training speed to build defend force, then can build 4 or more, or Radar for Heavy tanks, with more motorpools can make Heavy tank train faster, then mix Heavy tank and Artillery as 2:1, with engineers can against most kind of attack. Then can try to use Hotkeys, I used Hotkeys from 8-Bit series, Q for Refinery, E for Barrack, W for Power plant, R for Motorpool, A for Air Control/Drone Center, T for Shipyard, Ctrl+A for Bunker, Ctrl+X for MG Turret/Turret, Ctrl+V for Missile Turret/APD Turret. Then can try to set all Barrack, Motorpool, Air Control/Drone Center to Group 3, so you can switch rally point fast, only need to press 3 and right click. 4 for Shipyard, normally I'll not use Naval with ground and air units, but to Naval map, I'll set Shipyard and Air Control/Drone Center as same group. I had some tutorial videos, that will be help to improve skills. Have a nice day.
It's good advice. I tried to follow, but unfortunately came up lacking.
@@AxofAjax Well, I tried same map again, all I can say is Insane AI is more stronger than before. v=ba7JsBMc9ig I can lose very easy even 1 vs 1 Insane AI.
@@AxofAjax Hi, well, this will be help. v=6rH8cicUcR8 Most skills I learned in 8-Bit series and 9-Bit Armies is from his video.
Heroic dog :D Only 9 prism towers are added to the chain.
It's so fun when you get a really long chain going, just obliterates everything.
Teslacoil the invincible :D Both allies and sov turretpushes are viable in pvp. Allied turretpush and sov teslarush are a thing.
I have seen that before. It's really cool to see it done well 👍 Base creep is a lot easier when the opponent doesn't get 2x resource gain. I should do match against hard AI without producing a single unit.
Heroic bear :D
Yeah give that bear an extra helping of salmon!! 🐻❄ 🐟
I thought basecreep is easier on allies as instant turret drops. Granted, usually not only basecreep, it is added on top of existing army.
Allies have a better base creep over time. Soviets are better in bursts. So with army support, Allies are probably better. But without army support I think it goes to the Soviets. Throw in the iron curtain and it's a powerful combo.
Shinobi near mcv? Just run over! Seawing (flying form) is mainly anti-infantry unit.
Yeah I had to re-realize that about the seawings. I have this memory from earlier in my life of waves upon waves of seawings just obliterating an enemy base. But it truly does need so many of the units to be effective.
