back in the day I always captured civilian churches, then built a barracks near it and some pillboxes, surrounded it with sandbag walls.... like a little village militia outpost :D
I had no idea you could capture them either. All that C&C taught me is that if you blow up a church you'll be able to take the big crate of money they're hoarding *shrug*
"Comrade General, what have you done with the top secret phase transport?" "I sold it to a Glaswegian arms dealer for 1500 Rubles Marshall" "What do you mean, Gulag?" 8-)
Love how the AI gets a nice tailored terrain layout for their bases ..... Nice organised double ridge around the mcv, ridge and small water barrier outside their concrete walls .... I love to build a good ocd base, but you always have to make do with makeshift placement and improv ...
Yes us builders we need to plan a bit. ( i measure using buildings: what fits where, how many power plants i can lineup for max land usage. ). And not to forget building silos over to choke pointsto put turrets there asap.
@@Erikcleric I like a section for production, a section for economy, a section for air power and a section in a most well defended area (usually right at the back of the base) for superweapon and high tech structures. #ocd
@Jonathon Coffey I'd be down for a game like that. You see rc1985, working out what the AI builds and where and when you can intercept the programming before it happens etc for speedruns and the like is OK, but a bit sneaky and underhanded. How well can you strike when everyone is prepared!!!! :D
DUDE HOLY CRAP. I didn't even know you could capture churches. I didn't know you could use them to extend your base. I always just destroyed them for crates. Thanks!
I never knew you could capture a church! Also as I've yet to properly play Red Alert Remastered (Still going through C&C Remastered) I couldn't help noticing that the new 3D Shock Trooper is definitely more distinct; it's a nice touch. I think in the original he looked virtually identical to the flamethrower infantry save for the yellow gun etc.
Yeah in original he WAS identical to Flamethrower just with the white changed to yellow. The infantry sprites were hand drawn and they're something like 400 frames each, so can't really blame them considering Westwood would have been smaller with less resources back then. Probably why he got some unique voices, to make him feel a bit more distinct from the flamethrower. Mostly it was only the non-combat infantry that got unique voices.
why on earth was this level so hard in the remastered version???? ended up without the potential to finish the cruisers off and i tricked my way to victory by force firing near the land of the cruuisers and it deal some minimum damage pheww
Its not difficult at all. What i did was i took my time, explored the whole map, eventhough its tedious and had to sneak around. Then sniped most infantry i saw, then took out buildings and that large base (while keeping Volkov outside the enemy tank's guard radius). I left the objective buildning for last, and destroyed and started the timer when i was ready. Or you can use this method. :) I never used the engineers at all.
I have an idea. After you build the service depot, is it possible to continue the normal way and sell the reinforcement vehicles? In this way you lose the advantage of having an air force and navy early in the game, but you get to have mission accomplished with a working base and the phased transport intact.
My beef with this mission is that my phase tank attacks everything it sees But you don't have that problem, is that by design or is that normal (and mine is glitched)?
1 - Figured out if there is any way to Queen Ant Build in remastered? Tried it today, couldn't get it to work. 2 - Minimum Units the Ant Campaign - with your tanking, could probably do the 2nd and 3rd mission with like 4 Med Tanks 3 - Not EVERY mission has to be a Destroy the Whole map 4 - 12:19 - What the hell is this? Owning a ConYard?!
1. Nope, the method on Classic RA was caused by a glitch. Maybe they'll release an 'official' way to build it 2. I'll do minimum units runs if they're interesting enough, like in the Tiberian Sun case. Not sure if Ants is fun enough for this, iirc the ants campaign was really boring 3. You can't win this mission if you don't destroy everything 4. That's a pillbox
@@TheCNCChannel Was at the fact you can still build structures during Mission Accomplished. And my childhood just remembered me failing this mission numerous times and giving up.
Because of the way the game is coded, both the Allies and Soviets have the same War Factory, so, sadly whichever faction you are, when you build that war factory, you get that side's vehicles. Not the case if you capture it though, such as when he captured the war factory in the beginning. When you capture an opponents War Factory or Construction Yard, you get the tech that it builds, but if anything has the same name, such as the Factory again, it defaults to your tech after that. So if he were able to build an MCV, and deploy it, he would have gotten Soviet Buildings. :) Hope that helped. :) I know it's strange, considering in CnC the GDI and Brotherhood of Nod have everything different, except of course, the Construction Yard, XD. The War Factory and Airstrip. Barracks and Hand of Nod. Advanced Communications Center and Temple of Nod. (Hmm... Something doesn't seem right, shoulda called the Airstrip "Airstrip of Nod" to round it out, and give it the Nod Scorpion symbol on the larger area xD.
@@MinyaKinar oooh, that's right! as soon as you mentioned they have the same buildings I remembered I had the same thing happen to me years ago xD thanks for telling!
@@Blasti1987 Does that still work in the remaster? The Service Depot selling is intended of course, but the Wall thing was always just a bug, did they fix it like some others?
@@TheCNCChannel I can't find it on the wiki how much everything sells for, but I figured if you sell the chronosphere, tech center, and radar you could have enough to build a miner after capturing their ore refinery. Edit: you could even build a thief and steal from the AI. Might get you credits?
@@doc.rankin577 You forgot to factor in the cost of engineers (1000) while these buildings give you 2650 in total. You can't train thieves on this mission.
@@TheCNCChannel I'm sure you still get something from capturing a Silo in RA, but I'm not sure exactly how it works. I'm certain I did it in a few missions in my remaster playthrough, and sometimes I'd get a small credit infusion. Obviously the Thief has the main credit stealing role in RA though. Could be a mission specific thing I guess, unless it was just with some coincidental harvester dump timing (though I don't remember it being as much as what you'd get from a Harvester dump).
@@TheCNCChannel Which is my recollection too, which is exactly why I tried it a few times in the remaster "to see". Those times it did seem like I got something it wouldn't have been enough for what you did here anyway.
Ok you modified or you are cheating. The AI would be after you when destroying buildings and ALL the AI would of been on your ass when you attacked the Ore Miner.
Yeah RA AI isn't as balls to the wall when you attack it's Harv as TD AI is (which was always weird considering unlike TD the AI actually needs it's Harv in RA), and while it'll still come for you when you attack it's Harv, it'll usually only do it with units it built, not the one's it started with on the map or got from scripted reinforcements (depending on their orders).

-Comrade, how did the test drive go?
-Oh, very decent, we sold the prototype.
-You what.
-And repaired a church with the money.
Best comment
"Right to Gulag!"
This is the best
Not 'the' church, comrade.
'Our' church.
-But hey, we halted Allied communications, right? :D
This is the first time I've seen a Church to be captured by an engineer. All those years since my childhood. I never knew that.

SAME!! I just always blew them up to get the crate.

"I sold it to a Glaswegian arms dealer for 1500 Rubles Marshall" "What do you mean, Gulag?" 8-)
Volkov auto-targets infantry? If only Tanya did that, would've saved me hundreds of resets over the years.
Tanya and commando don't probably because they're supposed to do stealth work
Well done! I really love those "Alternative Ways", makes it more fun.
You frighten me sometimes.
LMAO
As a child i also tried that back in the 90s, but i never thought about selling the phase apc
Ah yes, the precursor to the Nod stealth tank, if you believe the storylines connect
Aaand you sold it lol

wtf you can heal and expand from a church??

They made burrowing ones.
Didn't know you can sell units with the repair depot. Was that always in the game or is it a new mechanic?
Always been there friend.
Even was possible in c&c tiberian dawn
You can even sell Yaks and MiGs on Soviet Airfields if you have no further use for them.
Can also sell units next to a wall, sandbag etc saves time to make a repair depot
@@Blasti1987 Does that still work in the remaster? The Service Depot selling is intended of course, but the Wall thing was always just a bug, did they fix it like some others?
