24:20 Actually No, When an air unit with limited ammunition runs out of ammo and there is no empty friendly airfield for it to land on and refuel, it will start to slowly lose health until death. In this clip, the century bomber that crashes was out of ammo and you didn't have an airfield, allied airfields are usable, but in this case, your co-commander's airfield was occupied, so you need to manually click on it with the unit selected for the air unit to land on it, otherwise it will not. 🤓

@@hedgehog3180 what can I say - they knew their target demographic. But on the flip side, I know quite a few women who would eagerly throw their panties at mid-2000's Josh Holloway. That man is objectively hot, and his cutscenes don't try to hide it. And bisexual or homosexual women probably aren't displeased either. And as for the "they don't do anything" argument, it's quite clear that the player is the main character who wins or loses the day, and any other character in the games is only there to support and encourage you and make you feel good about your accomplishment. The argument abour representation is already pretty flawed from the start, but it's doubly stupid when you consider the fact that you, the player, are already in the story. No other characters should represent you because you're an active participant yourself.
17:10: Isn't attacking the president a state treason? 24:25: Aircraft is losing HP not because it's burning but because it has no assigned airfield. This mechanic exist in all 3rd-gen CnC games. It represents aircraft losing its fuel and/or requiring periodic maintenance.
It’s not treason as the government and military of the U.S. is in support of the alliance as foreign policy so that means the president is ignoring his constitutional duties and committing treason by using a rebel army to enforce this policy.
I can’t see my original comment so maybe it wasn’t included for some odd reason, or maybe it’s a glitch, but the president is the one breaking US rules, denying Congress’ support for the alliance that’s implied and using a rebel army against the real army including Warren, so it’s the president committing treason
In the Empire of The Rising Sun campain it's revealed that JK Simmons is a robot spy controlled by Japan. This reveal actually creates a number of plot-holes. For example: in the soviet campain Japan is defeated 1st and JK ends up being the final boss. However if Japan was already defeated how JK still opperational? Why would Soviets upon defeating Japan not be able to uncover JK's true identity?
@@Honzik207Vindicator is also a top tier unit in online play because if you press stop attack at the right time, the Vindicator only drops one bomb instead of all three on a target, so if you micro well, you can kill 3 infantry unit with it. Combined with cryocopters, you can kill 3 frozen units with a single Vindicator. Given the opportunity, they can freeze and kill 3 ore collectors with it, crippling a player’s economy.
What i love about this channel is that anyone else would say " it is what it is" and accept cut scene losses, but you my friend are on a different level. Also i love the RED ALERT MEMES
Technically Giant Grant Games, who pioneered the Deathless RTS genre, also does the same thing, and will go to unreasonable extents to keep all units alive.
And it has gone a full circle... the French colonized Vietnam, Vietnamese hide in the trees, Mirage Tank crews are all French, that uses their gap generators to hide them as trees. In the words of Kronk; "Oh yea, it's all coming together."
4:54 This problem was solved by boarding an engineer in an IFV. As in Red Alert 2, he not only repairs vehicles, but also removes terror drones from it. 23:21 You can prepare better - you need to sell all the buildings except the construction yard, and send the peacekeepers who appear after their sale to the coast.
The Empire campaign also has to be the hardest to do deathless. Soviet units are tanky, Empire units crumple like paper. Allied units are expensive but they have tons of utility like Athena shields and cryo freeze that allow you to protect your vulnerable units, Empire has none of that. On top of that Empire has the worst air-to-air fighter for deathless purposes. I foresee a lot of missions where he's forced to capture Allied/Soviet MCVs and basically play as the other factions because it's just impossible to do it deathless as the Empire. The Pearl Harbor mission in particular is going to be an absolute slogfest without some heavy exploits, it's like mission 4 and you have less than half of your tech tree unlocked but the Allies hold NOTHING back in that mission.
@@ydp868 I wonder how he would do the shogun executioner build mission start deathless, where you need to escort the transport, since the only way to actually do it solo on hard is to have your co commander get his units killed by the subs to draw them out.
As a frequent watcher of Cybert. Yes, Cryocopters are extremely powerful because of the Allies' ability to rush Air Factories and pump out Vindicators to control the map. Adding Cryocopters on top of that and the fact that Allies' Vindicators + Cryos are an extremely powerful combination, makes Allies a very strong faction.
Fun thing about King Onis and cryocopter: you can shrink ray king onis. Not only does this stop them from charging through your units to kill them, your own units can instead crush them. This also works against Apoc tanks, MCVs and other crushing units...
The thing with the aircraft catching fire is what happens when you don’t have an airbase for them. It was probably included as a means to stop you from building aircraft and then play keepaway to stall out a loss in a multiplayer match after your base has been destroyed
You can't actually stall out a match by hiding aircraft because the loss condition is losing all your buildings (captured neutral buildings like Oil Derricks don't count) and when you do, all of your remaining units instantly die
The Rising Sun campaign would probably be the hardest to do but possible. However, I can imagine Psyminette's struggling with just one mission though MISSION 4. aka the Allies' (Cryocopter's) debut
I can't wait for Psyminette to complain about the piss weak defense structures of the empire, and the montage of that 1 specific level... either way I'm also excited for the next mental omega lore video!
I personally hope he is going to complain about cryocopters being OP. You don't face many of them in other 2 previous campaigns. In reality he is going to complain about Tatsu's flanking maneuver in mission 4.
Nice work on the deathless missions. A couple of minor notes: in the Mt Rushmore mission, the president's limo is not actually invulnerable once it's frozen. I found out the wrong way by freezing it with a cryocopter, which got shot by an enemy plane, and the pieces landed on the limo, doing critical damage since it's frozen. The whole story of that mission is badly done as well. 1: President goes to a massive tower about 100 meters away from the base to send a signal to fire the big bad LAZOR. Smoke signals would have sufficed from his position. 2: You destroy the tower, so cow the president can't send the signal, but if he were to die, the a different signal *will* be sent that still triggers the laser. that makes 'perfect' sense XD. 3: If you are successful in taking out the biggest weapon this president has, then he'll try to fly away. If he's successful, it's not 'oh well, he got away but I'm sure the neighbours in the next state will tel him to stop throwing a hissy-fit. No, if he flies away you'll have lost the mission just as badly as if he actually fired the laser. In the Tokyo mission, I liked to capture one of the Decimators. If they have three, I need at least one.
if a spy goes in a super reactor I believe it goes down for about 75 seconds as opposed to 30 seconds with anything else Edit:Also yes cryocopter is busted just allies in general too Edit2:also yeah air units with no airfield slowly take damage if I recall
Wow, no casualties at all even when up against Terror Drones. Very impressive commander skills from the both of you. Can't wait to see how you two tackle the Rising Sun campaign and Yokohama Harbor. That'll be a fun treat to see.
Yokohama Harbor can be completely cheesed if necessary. The enemy Allies AI doesn't activate until you freed the forward bases and you're not on time limit for that, so you can just take Yuriko and take out the enemy base before even starting the first objective. (the Soviets still arrive in the middle of that and are active, but Yuriko can cripple them in time if she's there) I'm more curious about Pearl Harbor mission, personally
@@ahmadtarek7763 Yeah, which is rather funny how his security for being frozen, is his own army sending crashing jets ontop of himself What sounds funny to me about bribing the driver, is that would mean its on your side, so if the enemy sent something that could target ground, they would also kill him. Its just a weirdly designed mission in general it seems.
Ah yes Psyminette really blessed us with a masterpiece once again, the gods have listened to our prayers. I am crying once again, balling my eyes out, I am forming waterfalls as we speak. Thank you Pysminette, thank you.
always loved the allies flexible roster, the whole stick an infantry unit in it to change how it works, especially when they actually made it work with other faction's infantry. it's no overlord tank with a bunker, but i'll take it.
Aircraft Carrier special ability is very strong , it will shut down the entire group leaving them defenseless . You gonna hate them in Empire campaign .
I had no idea you can one shot the fortress with Tanya like this, I would spend so long trying to kill it lmao, also didn't know the projection field of the Athena canon was this good or that it stopped the kamikaze drones. I'm really happy I got recommended this video, an easy sub.
20:50 What's absolutely hilarious is that in the very next mission you find out that President Ackerman was, in fact, correct to not trust the Soviets.
The main issue was really that he was planning to just wipe out and entire city including civvies but yeah, it is funny how you get betrayed the next mission after. What's a bit of a plothole here is that these head weapons still technically exist for the allies. Which means if they wanted to they could still apparently level any city on Earth. You'd think that'd be enough of an incentive for the rest of the enemies to just give up
1:50 It's not a oneshot; this isn't TibWars/Kane'sWrath. Peacekeeprs or Imperial Warriors trade 1:1 with infantry in a garrison when they walk/run into it. 7:12 Micro kind of matters, but this mission sells off lots of the static defense when you destroy each 'onion ring' of superreactors. 7:50 No, that isn't right; Green hasn't yet destroyed the first superreactor on Green's half of the map. 11:07 It's only dominant if micro'd correctly. XYHC propaganda spreads wide since the RA3 community is so small. It's only as good as the player using it. 24:32 That happens to any aircraft which is out of ammo which doesn't have enough hangar space to land on. It only happens when these planes have no ammo; even one tiny sliver of an Apollo Fighter's ammo supply is enough to not cause this. 30:48 All Soviet AA in RA3 does AoE damage; don't let your Apollos (or any other air units) stack. 34:50 Whichever player gets any infantry unit into a pilot-sniped vehicle takes control of it. Yes, MCVs included.
Interesting opinion about cryocopters. Whilst XYHC covers mostly competitive scene, I also believe they are really good in PvE setting - but you need to learn some basic micro(for example not using all of your S.H.R.I.N.Ks on 1 target.) Anyways, I haven't seen this opinion on cryos that much.
i wanna add that 20:36 Ackerman's helicopter when destroyed drops pieces that have the same green shiny trail that Japanese vehicles, hinting us at Ackerman being a puppet of the Rising Sun Empire
In addition, not only infantry can gets into vehicle: If you include one infantry and one vehicle to capture an unmanned vehicle, you can stop the infantry, and see that vehicle somehow fit into another vehicle. Shame we didn't get to see that trick pulled off in Mount Fuji due to no lost rule. This is also the only way possible to capture Emperor's red mecha, since normal infantry refuse to pilot it once Natasha sniped it.
14:25 One interesting thing about The Unfathomable Fortress mission that i've managed to find with my teammate is that you can pilot snipe the radar ship and then capture it with your spy. It won't really do anything since it still needs to be destroyed... But just a small fun fact
7:11 bruh when I was like 11 and first playing this game I just sent so many vindicators to their doom. Rip to all the brave pilots who were forced to go through a terrible strategy.
so to those who want to do the tokyo mission but is as bad as I am - I have a cheese for you. after you endured the phase 1 of the mission, all your funds would be deducted no matter how much you saved up. BUT, after that, you can then sell all the structures you have and gain a hefty amount of money back before the superweapon is dropped on you. after that, rebuild without giving the co-commander the order to teleport, and you will find yourself in a rather interesting spot: all the EoRS commanders become rather passive. They will not really produce any unit and attack you, allowing you to (slowly) rebuild and complete the mission without triggering the fleet at all. in fact, you can clear the map, build a maze of towers where the fleet would spawn, and then make the co-commander to teleport. rush out some planes, and bomba the superweapons, and you basically turn this mission into easy mode. the downside is that you have to do this mission without the orbital laser, as they are not "unlocked" for you yet.
A monument to madness has a funny bug where if you use a century bomber to air drop a spy near the limo you can convert it to your team and give it a new move order to basically remove the timer in the first phase However I think the second phase would fail the deathless part as you would have to force fire on your now friendly limo possibly adding a death to your side
The shogun battleship in first segment of "forever sets the sun" is built by those side objective docks, while the Apollo jets that rushed to president's limo and engage your cryocopter in "a monument to madness" is map-rigged trigger response once you get a cryo copter in field(or built an airfield?) Since you know that empire is going to blast you with their ultimate weapon in mission "forever sets the sun", and you are capable of controlling the activation of next stage in certain degree (able to complete side obj of destroying those docks), why can't you sell all the structure given and order your units heads to shores to reduce destruction, as well as get extra credits for rest of the mission? In that way structure sold instead of lost is much better statistically...(probably a hell of an effort to handle those peacekeepers from selloff, but still.)
I think I found a plothole. Mission 9 takes place in Leningrad. However, in the RA timeline, Lenin (a bald man with a goatee) is actually Kane/Yuri. It should had been called something else...
Nope, in Red Alert 1, Kane was Stalin's advisor and in Red Alert 2 Yuri appears alongside Stalin in an image No way either of them were Lenin, and pretty sure Dreadnought also mentions him at some point
Small trick for the mount Rushmore mission: Don't freeze the Prez until he's right behind your base (bottom left corner iirc). From there, just built the most insane net of missile turrets + apollo air groups you can. I had like 16 aircrafts, 12 flying at all times.
21:50 You can also sell all your buildings right before the Decimator attacks then send the Peacekeepers from them to garrison the buildings at the South-West corner.
A tip for the Allied Tokyo mission.. Send your units away and sell ALL of your structures. Then tell the peacekeepers to run away. You'll get additional units (the infantry), a small extra amount of money (from selling), and i don't believe it's a lost structure. The decimators will not destroy your remaining Con Yard. Question, why didn't you blow up most of the reactors in Allied mission 3? The Soviets sell their defences if you do that
2nd video to watch on this channel (algorithm gave me the GDI deathless mission). Seeing you play on hard mode like a madman with adhd (i mean it in a good way) and making it look easy makes me deeply re-evaluate how I play on medium lol
Part of the goal of the deathless videos is to shed light on some strategies that could potentially benefit someone who is just playing normally. If it helped you out in a regular playthrough then that goal is accomplished haha
@@Psyminette The goal was indeed accomplished, heck I even used your strategies to scrape out a win on the last GDi mission in CnC3 (although I had to use the Scrin as the Rift generator nuked my base)
Few ppl already told you about the airfields, i just want to add, Mirage do speak english, but with French accent: D. Great work btw i especially liked the 08:47!
Arent apollo strike force spawns outside from the map in president mission? Also u could rush criocopter and freeze his car before president reach first building(so u dont trigger cutscene with laser in the head), the only problem is that with bad luck apollos strike force falling corpses can actualy kill frozen car and fail the mission.
21:50 I cheesed my way here by building my base near the beach although kinda risky I built defenses near the beach and assisted with cryocopters, when the 4 Tengus' flyover the base thats when I sell my previous base and pullout any units, as long as any units or buildings are outside the blast radius everything will be lowered to 50%hp, with the defenses and buildings are already set up I can begin countering the enemy. And before the Psionic Decimator fired I managed to build a small fleet and assisted with cryocopter, Vindicators and Apollo to defend the base
I dunno why but I did often discover Psyminnete videos faster than Ackerman's limousine lol. By the way, I really want to see full gameplay footage or vod whatever hhe. Whoever was your co-op, he is great!

always loved the allies flexible roster, the whole stick an infantry unit in it to change how it works, especially when they actually made it work with other faction's infantry.
it's no overlord tank with a bunker, but i'll take it.
This video is 🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait for Deathless Empire🔥🔥
Watching this without knowing anything about the game, there's so much stuff in it
Waiting for Empire people raise your hands
Would you mind letting me enter your waiting room?
Sometime next year :P
Aircraft Carrier special ability is very strong , it will shut down the entire group leaving them defenseless . You gonna hate them in Empire campaign .
I had no idea you can one shot the fortress with Tanya like this, I would spend so long trying to kill it lmao, also didn't know the projection field of the Athena canon was this good or that it stopped the kamikaze drones.
I'm really happy I got recommended this video, an easy sub.
It also took down Seawings! Wow, had no idea it could do that. (Athena Cannon)
8:10 you can use IFV + Engineer to remove the annoying Terror Drone
20:50 What's absolutely hilarious is that in the very next mission you find out that President Ackerman was, in fact, correct to not trust the Soviets.
The main issue was really that he was planning to just wipe out and entire city including civvies but yeah, it is funny how you get betrayed the next mission after.
What's a bit of a plothole here is that these head weapons still technically exist for the allies. Which means if they wanted to they could still apparently level any city on Earth. You'd think that'd be enough of an incentive for the rest of the enemies to just give up
Can't wait to see you do the rising sun campaign especially when the first mission almost requires you to use the suicide attack ability on the subs
1:50 It's not a oneshot; this isn't TibWars/Kane'sWrath. Peacekeeprs or Imperial Warriors trade 1:1 with infantry in a garrison when they walk/run into it.
7:12 Micro kind of matters, but this mission sells off lots of the static defense when you destroy each 'onion ring' of superreactors.
7:50 No, that isn't right; Green hasn't yet destroyed the first superreactor on Green's half of the map.
11:07 It's only dominant if micro'd correctly. XYHC propaganda spreads wide since the RA3 community is so small. It's only as good as the player using it.
24:32 That happens to any aircraft which is out of ammo which doesn't have enough hangar space to land on. It only happens when these planes have no ammo; even one tiny sliver of an Apollo Fighter's ammo supply is enough to not cause this.
30:48 All Soviet AA in RA3 does AoE damage; don't let your Apollos (or any other air units) stack.
34:50 Whichever player gets any infantry unit into a pilot-sniped vehicle takes control of it. Yes, MCVs included.
Interesting opinion about cryocopters. Whilst XYHC covers mostly competitive scene, I also believe they are really good in PvE setting - but you need to learn some basic micro(for example not using all of your S.H.R.I.N.Ks on 1 target.)
Anyways, I haven't seen this opinion on cryos that much.
i wanna add that 20:36 Ackerman's helicopter when destroyed drops pieces that have the same green shiny trail that Japanese vehicles, hinting us at Ackerman being a puppet of the Rising Sun Empire
In addition, not only infantry can gets into vehicle: If you include one infantry and one vehicle to capture an unmanned vehicle, you can stop the infantry, and see that vehicle somehow fit into another vehicle.
Shame we didn't get to see that trick pulled off in Mount Fuji due to no lost rule. This is also the only way possible to capture Emperor's red mecha, since normal infantry refuse to pilot it once Natasha sniped it.
I'm so glad I subbed this channel back when you did CnC3 deathless.
14:25 One interesting thing about The Unfathomable Fortress mission that i've managed to find with my teammate is that you can pilot snipe the radar ship and then capture it with your spy. It won't really do anything since it still needs to be destroyed... But just a small fun fact
ok, that ending got me. Well done.
YES! MORE RA3! Thank you a lot PSY, thanks a LOT!
11:02 I've watched enough professional games to know that it's true. A player that doesn't scout a cryocopter rush is likely dead. It's so cheesy :D
fun tip when you get to the Empire of the Rising Sun campaign, Rocket Angel spam is kind of a valid, albeit, cheesy strat
7:11 bruh when I was like 11 and first playing this game I just sent so many vindicators to their doom. Rip to all the brave pilots who were forced to go through a terrible strategy.
IFV's with engies inside become repair vehicles. They destroy terror drones and repair your units on the move. Multigunner Turrets work as well.
Love the new editing!
10/10 playthrough... absolutely crashed my way of playing from now onwards... can't wait to see the squishy rising sun playthrough
The Allied infantry being hyper-militarized police is a real “are we the baddies?” moment.
Another great video, thanks for a great gift on my final day before my vacation ends
Lol i love you for that helldivers2 ending. Caught me offguard. For super Earth!
so to those who want to do the tokyo mission but is as bad as I am - I have a cheese for you.
after you endured the phase 1 of the mission, all your funds would be deducted no matter how much you saved up. BUT, after that, you can then sell all the structures you have and gain a hefty amount of money back before the superweapon is dropped on you.
after that, rebuild without giving the co-commander the order to teleport, and you will find yourself in a rather interesting spot: all the EoRS commanders become rather passive. They will not really produce any unit and attack you, allowing you to (slowly) rebuild and complete the mission without triggering the fleet at all. in fact, you can clear the map, build a maze of towers where the fleet would spawn, and then make the co-commander to teleport. rush out some planes, and bomba the superweapons, and you basically turn this mission into easy mode.
the downside is that you have to do this mission without the orbital laser, as they are not "unlocked" for you yet.
wake up dude, psyminette is back to the action!
also the next campaing came with GIANT MECHS!
A monument to madness has a funny bug where if you use a century bomber to air drop a spy near the limo you can convert it to your team and give it a new move order to basically remove the timer in the first phase
However I think the second phase would fail the deathless part as you would have to force fire on your now friendly limo possibly adding a death to your side
Dang I never thought the day would come that this would return
21:54 couldn’t you sell everything before the cutscene so it wouldn’t count as lost?
Selling counts a building lost in the summary screen :(
@@Psyminette doesn’t it count as a sold structure because I saw that statistic in the summary screen
Legend is back
The shogun battleship in first segment of "forever sets the sun" is built by those side objective docks, while the Apollo jets that rushed to president's limo and engage your cryocopter in "a monument to madness" is map-rigged trigger response once you get a cryo copter in field(or built an airfield?)
Since you know that empire is going to blast you with their ultimate weapon in mission "forever sets the sun", and you are capable of controlling the activation of next stage in certain degree (able to complete side obj of destroying those docks), why can't you sell all the structure given and order your units heads to shores to reduce destruction, as well as get extra credits for rest of the mission? In that way structure sold instead of lost is much better statistically...(probably a hell of an effort to handle those peacekeepers from selloff, but still.)
For the psionic decimator cutscene, you can actually sell all your structures. Providing funds and no lost structures.
5:13 Wait they didn't stack..........? Wow, strange, i always thinked they do it and always used not less three of them
I think I found a plothole. Mission 9 takes place in Leningrad. However, in the RA timeline, Lenin (a bald man with a goatee) is actually Kane/Yuri. It should had been called something else...
Nope, in Red Alert 1, Kane was Stalin's advisor and in Red Alert 2 Yuri appears alongside Stalin in an image
No way either of them were Lenin, and pretty sure Dreadnought also mentions him at some point
@@aloe7794 Yeah Lenin was dead before Stalin came to power, it was actually how he even got into power in the first place.
@@brandonlyon730 Real question is what happened to Trotsky in the RA timeline, does he lead an army of penguins in Antarctica?
Small trick for the mount Rushmore mission: Don't freeze the Prez until he's right behind your base (bottom left corner iirc). From there, just built the most insane net of missile turrets + apollo air groups you can. I had like 16 aircrafts, 12 flying at all times.
Just found your channel like a week ago, loving the C&C content 10/10! Looking forward to seeing you do the Japanese campaign!
Will you do the Uprising campaigns after the vanilla RA3 ones?
I actually completed the Soviet campaign deathless, albeit with a lot of Save-scumming.
For sure will attempt it!
@@Psyminette Good luck with it! Those new Allied units are no joke.
If you need tips for the Soviet mini campaign, let me know.
Big fan of the silly notes in unit descriptions. Looking forward to Glorious Nippon campaign. (You've gotten real good at splicing audio!)
The memes in this video are off the charts. I laughed through the whole trip.
Great Video and editing!
I was waiting for this
21:50 You can also sell all your buildings right before the Decimator attacks then send the Peacekeepers from them to garrison the buildings at the South-West corner.
As always great video mate!
A tip for the Allied Tokyo mission.. Send your units away and sell ALL of your structures. Then tell the peacekeepers to run away. You'll get additional units (the infantry), a small extra amount of money (from selling), and i don't believe it's a lost structure. The decimators will not destroy your remaining Con Yard.
Question, why didn't you blow up most of the reactors in Allied mission 3? The Soviets sell their defences if you do that
Selling a structure shows up as BOTH a structure sold and a structure lost so i just didn’t bother :p
@@Psyminette well...shit, haha
Editing is so good
Welcome back! I love your videos!
Welcome back, commander.
Freaking awesome, clean edits too. Thanks a ton!!
2nd video to watch on this channel (algorithm gave me the GDI deathless mission). Seeing you play on hard mode like a madman with adhd (i mean it in a good way) and making it look easy makes me deeply re-evaluate how I play on medium lol
Part of the goal of the deathless videos is to shed light on some strategies that could potentially benefit someone who is just playing normally. If it helped you out in a regular playthrough then that goal is accomplished haha
@@Psyminette The goal was indeed accomplished, heck I even used your strategies to scrape out a win on the last GDi mission in CnC3 (although I had to use the Scrin as the Rift generator nuked my base)
great vid as always! I really liked how you incorporated the helldivers intro
19:25 Rofl Tanya chasing that little car
Few ppl already told you about the airfields, i just want to add, Mirage do speak english, but with French accent: D. Great work btw i especially liked the 08:47!
I love the continued trend of deleting Yuriko Omega from existence with the support superweapon
Arent apollo strike force spawns outside from the map in president mission? Also u could rush criocopter and freeze his car before president reach first building(so u dont trigger cutscene with laser in the head), the only problem is that with bad luck apollos strike force falling corpses can actualy kill frozen car and fail the mission.
Really underrated channel for the content he produces
When deathless empire of the rising sun campaign?
4:50
Wait can't you Garrison the Multi-gunner IFV with Engineer for Vehicle repair to mitigate the Terror Drone problem?
21:50 I cheesed my way here by building my base near the beach although kinda risky I built defenses near the beach and assisted with cryocopters, when the 4 Tengus' flyover the base thats when I sell my previous base and pullout any units, as long as any units or buildings are outside the blast radius everything will be lowered to 50%hp, with the defenses and buildings are already set up I can begin countering the enemy. And before the Psionic Decimator fired I managed to build a small fleet and assisted with cryocopter, Vindicators and Apollo to defend the base
Bro please make the mental omega series I love them😭🙏
He will but right now we enjoy this
Loved every one of these :) keep em comin! Great playing, Great vid!
Some of those missions I spent hours
You did manage with a few minutes specially MT mush more and the mission before
That outro deserves an oscar
Looking forward to the empire.
Definitely yet to see someone who does not use Tanya for the premier's shuttle!
It's the easiest way to deal with the problem. :p
Empire deathless when 😁
Can't wait to see the empire playthrough.
I dunno why but I did often discover Psyminnete videos faster than Ackerman's limousine lol.
By the way, I really want to see full gameplay footage or vod whatever hhe. Whoever was your co-op, he is great!
23:00 Why not just sell all building during phase 1, before Decimator strikes?
Dude. Unexpected treat ❤
Hell diver's (hardest mission on the hardest difficulty) deathliess
That ending does put a smile on my face :)
Thank you for the video!
Very interesting and entertaining.
C&C Generals *Deathless* series anytime?
