Money can be earned by harvesting Ore or Gems with Miners. Miners collect the resources and then dump it into a nearby Ore Refinery. Gems are worth more than Ore, but cannot be reproduced like Ore can in some cases. There are also Ore Generators that gradually reproduce Ore, so look for those. -Power is a type of upkeep for Structures. Power Plants and Reactors supply Power to its according army, and most Defensive Structures, Radars, Superweapons, and advanced Structures consume Power. If the Power upkeep is not met, then the Radar goes out, and the more advanced Defences are shut off. -Usually, there's some Tech Structures in the map. If they are captured, the owning side gets their reward. Each type of Tech Structure has its own function. Other neutral Structures can be garrisoned by basic Infantry. All neutral Structures and certain Tech Structures cannot be repaired conventionally, but can be still repaired by an Engineer. -Combat units will gain experience whenever they kill an enemy. Once they reach the next level, they receive a gold stripe. One stripe (Veteran) increases their firing rate. Three stripes (Heroic) allow them to heal as well as increase their damage. Shell firing Heroic Units fire Shells that leave behind mushroom clouds. -There's always a Black Shroud covering unexplored terrain. If a friendly unit goes towards it, the Shroud will unwind and reveal more of the map. -Some Units can be Deployed. To Deploy a Unit, click on that Unit after selecting it, or press "D" to Deploy all Selected Units. -Bridges can be destroyed through force and can be Repaired by Engineers. They can also be destroyed by C4 or TNT charges planted by Tanya, SEALs, or Ivans. -Each side has two types of Super Weapons, and each one has a certain recharge timer. Once it reaches zero, it can be used. If the power is low, then the Super Weapon timers will freeze. -In Yuri's Revenge, each side also has a Hero Unit, an elite form of Infantry that cannot be crushed or Mind Controlled. Only one of these Units can be made at a time (two if trained with the Cloning Vats). -------------- 2.1 >Factions< -------------- There are two or three sides in the game, each one having its strengths and weaknesses. ------------- Allied Powers ------------- The Allied Powers focus on developing Technology, as well as supporting Democracy. With Spies and Spy Satellites, they can reveal the map quickly. Their units are more speedy and less expensive than their Soviet counterparts, but are less armoured and less lethal. They also have Air Superiority and Prism Technology. Members of the Allies include the USA, UK, France, Germany, and South Korea. ----------- Soviet Army ----------- The Reds focus on military dictatorships and Communism. They also have strengths in brute force and direct combat. However, their units are often slow and ponderous, but are still very powerful. They also have Tesla Technology and Nuclear Arms. They used to have Psychics as well, but they defected as the war prolonged. Members of the Soviets include the USSR, Cuba, Libya, and Iraq. ------------- Yuri's Forces ------------- Yuri and his followers become a seperate faction in Yuri's Revenge. They focus on dominating the world with their Psychic Technology. His exotic army also uses Gattling Guns, Toxic Snipers, and Hulking Brutes. They lack in Naval and Air power though. ----------- 2.2 >Units< ----------- Units are what attack other enemy units and Structures. They are vital to, well, everything! Infantry are trained at the Barracks, Armour built at the War Factory, and Navals produced at the Naval Yard/Submarine Pen. There are two types of Naval Units: Surface and Underwater. Underwater Naval Units are invisible to other players unless allied with them or whenever attacking. When they attack, they can still not be attacked by most Units unless attacked by Units that can attack them at all times. When they are attacked, they will "Surface" and can be attacked by all units for that short peroid. Infantry can be run over by all vehicles, except for Hero Units... Anti-Aircraft Units can also destroy Missiles in mid-air. ------ Allies ------ **** *GI* **** Class: Infantry. Purpose: Anti-Infantry. Role: Main Infantry. Weapon Type: Bullet. Good Versus: Infantry. Bad Versus: Aircraft, Defences. Armour: Medium. Speed: Medium. Cost: $200. Requires: Available at Start. Special Features: Can set up Sandbags. Deploy Action: Set up Sandbags. Games: Both. GIs are the Main Infantry for Allied Countries. When standing, they can move and can attack. When Deployed, they can dish out much more Damage, capable of destroying Armour when put into groups (and their range is increased). They cannot move when Deployed. They can also garrison buildings. ************ *Attack Dog* ************ Class: Infantry. Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Anti-Infiltration, Anti-Psychic. Role: Sentry. Weapon Type: Melee. Good Versus: Infantry. Bad Versus: Armour, Aircraft, Structures. Armour: Low. Speed: Fast. Cost: $200. Requires: Available at Start. Special Features: Spy Detection, Psychic Immunity. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Attack Dogs are efficient against enemy Infantry, especially Spies. They will attack a Spy on sight, even if he's disguised. They are also immune to Mind Control, making them also deadly against Psychic Units. They cannot attack Armour or any other types of Units, but they are still nonetheless vital on Defence. They are also good against Engineer Rushes. Allied Countries use German Shepards. ********** *Engineer* ********** Class: Infantry. Purpose: Base Repair, Base Capture. Role: Worker, Special Infantry. Weapon Type: None. Good Versus: Structures. Bad Versus: Everything Else. Armour: Low. Speed: Medium. Cost: $500. Requires: Available at Start. Special Features: Capture Enemy Buildings, Repair Friendly Buildings, Repair Bridges, Defuse TNT. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Engineers are all about Structures. They can instantly Repair a damaged Structure back to full health instantly, or they can Capture an Enemy Structure. They can also Repair a Bridge by entering the Bridge's Maintenance Hut, which is located on either side of the Bridge. They are unarmed, so protect them with other Units. Engineers can also defuse TNTs laid by Crazy Ivans. ************* *Guardian GI* ************* Class: Infantry. Purpose: Anti-Armour, Anti-Infantry, Anti-Aircraft. Role: Support Infantry. Weapon Type: Rocket. Good Versus: Armour, Aircraft, Infantry. Bad Versus: Defences. Armour: High. Speed: Slow. Cost: $400. Requires: Available at Start. Special Features: Can set up walls, cannot be run over when Deployed. Deploy Action: Set up Walls, arm Rocket Launcher. Games: Yuri's Revenge Only. The Guardian GI is the Allied Powers' Anti-Armour Infantry. When Undeployed, they have an assault rifle that is effective against Infantry. When Deployed, they have a rocket launcher that's effective against Armour and Aircraft. They are extremely slow and3:34 PM 01/06/2008 cannot Garrison buildings. *********** *Rocketeer* *********** Class: Aircraft/Infantry. Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Anti-Armour. Role: Support Infantry. Weapon Type: Bullet. Good Versus: Infantry, Armour, Aircraft. Bad Versus: Anti-Air. Armour: Medium. Speed: Fast. Cost: $600. Requires: Air Force Command HQ. Special Features: Flies. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Rocketeers are Infantry that use their jetpacks to fly in the sky. That means that they can attack most Units without harm, unless they happen to have an Anti-Air weapon. They can also fly above water, and can attack Airborne targets. *********** *Navy SEAL* *********** Class: Infantry. Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Anti-Structure. Role: Special Infantry. Weapon Type: Bullet, Explosive. Good Versus: Infantry, Navals, Structures. Bad Versus: Armour, Defences. Armour: Medium. Speed: Fast. Cost: $1000. Requires: Air Force Command HQ. Special Features: Can Swim, Can place C4 Charges on Structures and Ships. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both (RA2 Single-Player only). This Unit is by far, my favourite Infantry. They can slaughter millions of Infantry with little effort, and can Destroy Structures by planting a C4 charge on them, along with most Navals. They are very weak against Armour and biological Naval Units, so they should have some sort of backup. In Red Alert 2, they can only be used in the Campaign Mode, but in Yuri's Revenge, they can also be used in Skirmish and Multiplayer Games. It has been rumoured that SEALs can be trained in Skirmish in Red Alert 2, in maps containing the Pentagon (most likely custom ones). By Garrisoning one of the portions of the Pentagon, the ability to train SEALs will be enabled. ******** *Sniper* ******** Class: Infantry. Purpose: Anti-Infantry. Role: Support Infantry. Weapon Type: Bullet. Good Versus: Infantry. Bad Versus: Armour, Aircraft. Armour: Low. Speed: Slow. Cost: $600. Requires: English Arsenal, Air Force Command HQ. Special Features: Extremely Long Range. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. The Sniper is England's finest sharpshooting Infantry. He may be very slow in terms of both speed and firing rate, but his range is only matched by Yuri's Virus Sniper. He is good at taking out Infantry from afar. ***** *Spy* ***** Class: Infantry. Purpose: Base Infiltration. Role: Special Infantry. Weapon Type: None (Uses Disguises). Good Versus: Structures. Bad Versus: Attack Dogs, Psychics. Armour: Low. Speed: Medium. Cost: $1000. Requires: Battle Lab. Special Features: Can go through enemy bases without being automatically attacked. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Spies are used to sneak into enemy installations without being attacked on sight by most units. When they infiltrate a Structure, a certain type of special reward is earned. Attack Dogs and Psychics will attack them on Sight, and to the eyes of other Human Players, the Spy appears as a friendly Unit, but is unselectable, making Human Players aware of Spies as well. A Spy that's used by an Ally still appears as an enemy (or whatever the Spy is disguised as), but will not be attacked by Units that are allied with that player. When a Spy enters... A Power Reactor: That army's Power is shut down for a minute. An Ore Refinery: Cash is Stolen from that army. A Barracks: All Infantry start as Veterans. A War Factory: All Armour start as Veterans. A Radar Structure: Shroud is reset for that army. A Super Weapon: That Super Weapon's timer is reset. A Battle Lab: A new type of Infantry can be produced. ******************* *Chrono Legionaire* ******************* Class: Infantry. Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Anti-Armour, Anti-Structure. Role: Special Infantry. Weapon Type: Chrono Device. Good Versus: Everything on the ground. Bad Versus: Navals, Aircraft. Armour: Medium. Speed: Medium. Cost: $1500. Requires: Battle Lab. Special Features: Teleports around the map rather than walking. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Chrono Legionaires teleport through Chrono Technology, so when they go places, they appear instantly on that location. However, they will not be able to do anything until they recover, which the time they are in freeze mode depends on the distance they travel. When they use their weapon, the freeze the target, and eventually remove the Unit from the game. The more Legionaires targeting a single target, the faster the target is removed. ******* *Tanya* ******* Class: Infantry. Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Anti-Structure, Anti-Armour (Yuri's Revenge Only). Role: Hero. Weapon Type: Bullet, Explosive. Good Versus: Infantry, Navals, Structures, Armour (Yuri's Revenge Only). Bad Versus: Armour (Red Alert 2 Only), Defences. Armour: Medium. Speed: Medium. Cost: $1000 (Red Alert 2), $1500 (Yuri's Revenge). Requires: Battle Lab. Special Features: Can swim, Can place C4 Charges on Structures and Ships. Can place C4 Charges on Armour (Yuri's Revenge Only). Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Tanya, like the SEAL, can kill Infantry in one hit, and can destroy Structures and Ships instantly. In Yuri's Revenge, she is much more lethal, as she can also plant explosives on Armour, and cannot be crushed. In any case, she isn't very good against Anti-Infantry vehicles or Defences. Only one Tanya Unit can be made at a time in Yuri's Revenge. ************** *Chrono Miner* ************** Class: Armour. Purpose: Money Maker. Role: Worker. Weapon Type: None. Good Versus: None. Bad Versus: Everything. Armour: High. Speed: Medium. Cost: $1400. Requires: Available at Start. Special Features: Can Teleport to Ore Refineries. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Allied Armies use Chrono Miners to gather resources. Chrono Miners gather the dough, and can then Teleport to Refineries with its Chrono Technology. It is unarmed, so protect the mining areas. If a Terror Drone manages to get inside this vehicle, it can be left behind by having the Chrono Miner teleport back to an Ore Refinery. ************** *Grizzly Tank* ************** Class: Armour. Purpose: Anti-Armour, Anti-Structure. Role: Main Armour. Weapon Type: Shell. Good Versus: Armour, Structures. Bad Versus: Infantry, Aircraft, Defences. Armour: Medium. Speed: Medium/Fast. Cost: $700. Requires: Available at Start. Special Features: None. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Grizzly Tanks are the backbone of any Allied Armoured force. They are versitalle, and fare well against Armour and Structures. *************************** *Infantry Fighting Vehicle* *************************** Class: Armour. Purpose: Anti-Armour, Anti-Aircraft/Infantry Dependable. Role: Support Armour, Transport. Weapon Type: Rocket/Infantry. Good Versus: Depends. Bad Versus: Depends. Armour: Medium/Low. Speed: Fast. Cost: $600. Requires: Available at Start. Special Features: Infantry inside can change weapon. Deploy Action: Eject Infantry. Games: Both. IFVs take the cake as the most unique and versitalle Unit in any game ever! Alone, the IFV has a Rocket battery, which is effective against both Armour and Aircraft. An Infantry Unit can enter this Vehicle and can change its weapon. Here is the list: GI/Conscript/Spy: Anti-Infantry Gun. Engineer: Repair Utility (for other friendly Armour). Guardian GI: Rocket Gun. Navy Seal/Tanya: Powerful Anti-Infantry Gun. Sniper: Long-Range Anti-Infantry Gun. Chrono Legionaire: Chrono Gun. Flak Trooper: Flak Gun. Tesla Trooper: Tesla Gun. Crazy Ivan: Self-Destruction. Yuri/Yuri Clone: Psi Wave Gun. ********************* *Nighthawk Transport* ********************* Class: Aircraft. Purpose: Anti-Infantry. Role: Transport.

Role: Main Aircraft. Weapon Type: Rocket. Good Versus: Armour, Infantry, Structures. Bad Versus: Defences. Armour: Medium. Speed: Fast. Cost: $1200. Requires: Available at Start. Special Features: Must return back to Air Force Command HQ after attacking. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Harriers are fast jets that attack and return to base. They are good at roughening up Bases, but are vulnerable to Anti-Air. After firing, they must return back to Base to reload and repair. ************* *Black Eagle* ************* Class: Aircraft. Purpose: Anti-Armour, Anti-Structure. Role: Main Aircraft. Weapon Type: Rocket. Good Versus: Armour, Infantry, Structures. Bad Versus: Defences. Armour: High. Speed: Fast. Cost: $1200. Requires: Korean Arsenal. Special Features: Must return back to Air Force Command HQ after attacking. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. Black Eagles are more powerful versions of Harriers. Korean armies cannot create both Harriers and Black Eagles at the same time. **************** *Tank Destroyer* **************** Class: Armour. Purpose: Anti-Armour. Role: Support Armour. Weapon Type: Shell. Good Versus: Armour. Bad Versus: Infantry, Structures, Defences. Armour: Medium. Speed: Medium. Cost: $900. Requires: German Arsenal, Air Force Command HQ. Special Features: None. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. German Tank Destroyers excell at taking out enemy Armour, but are practically useless against any other target. They are good for supporting Navy SEALS in combat. ************ *Robot Tank* ************ Class: Armour. Purpose: Anti-Armour, Anti-Psychic. Role: Support Armour. Weapon Type: Shell. Good Versus: Armour, Psychics. Bad Versus: Infantry. Armour: Low. Speed: Fast. Cost: $600. Requires: Robot Control Facility. Special Features: Psychic Immunity, Can cross water. Deploy Action: None.

Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Recon. Role: Support Armour. Weapon Type: Fire. Good Versus: Infantry, Armour. Bad Versus: Defences. Armour: Medium. Speed: Medium. Cost: $1000. Requires: Battle Lab. Special Features: Appear as Trees to enemies when stationary. Deploy Action: None. Games: Both. When stationary, Mirage Tanks appear as Trees to enemies, and will not be attacked on sight. They lose their cover when they move and attack. For this reason, they are good scouting Units, able to ambush groups of lightly-armoured targets, and can kill Infantry in one hit. Their firing rate is slow, but effective. Enemy Armies can sniff out a Mirage Tank by moving their cursor over a tree and see if it is selectable. When in Mirage mode, the Tank does not appear on enemy Radar, and enemy players cannot select it. ************ *Prism Tank* ************ Class: Armour. Purpose: Anti-Armour, Anti-Defence.

These Campaigns are only available to Red Alert 2 only. The Fun Factor meter is a scale of 1 (Boring) to 10 (Great Fun!). ============================= 3.100 >Allied First Campaign< ============================= This is the Allied and Cannonical Campaign in Red Alert 2. Fight for Democracy and the destruction of the Soviet Union! --------------------- 3.101 >Lone Guardian< --------------------- Location: New York. Difficulty: Easy. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Destroy the four Dreadnoughts attacking the Statue of Liberty. -Rendevous with Fort Bradley. -Destroy the Soviet Base. -Tanya must survive. Notes: Tanya, GIs, Attack Dogs, and Engineers are introduced. Grizzly Tanks can also be used. Harriers make a cameo. Overview: The USA has been invaded by the Soviets from everywhere! First location to take care of is New York, where the Statue of Liberty is under attack! Special Agent Tanya Adams has been dispatched to clean up the mess. Opinion: This is the introduction to the Allied Campaign. Tanya will be very useful in dispatching the many Conscripts that come by, as well as destroying Structures. The mission starts at the Statue of Liberty. A few GIs are surrounding the building, but it being bombarded by those Dreadnoughts (not even those Patriot Missiles are stopping their missiles!). Tanya comes in from the southwest corner. Make her swim towards the Dreadnoughts and have her send them all down to Davy Jones' locker! Then catch up with the GIs and help them kill the Conscripts. The Statue of Liberty is still destroyed thanks to a nearby V3 Rocket. Get the GIs and Tanya moving northwest, ignoring Romanov's ultimatum. At the road intersection, two more GIs are under attack by more Conscripts. Once they have been dispatched, more northeast towards the Burger Kong Structure. Garrison the GIs in the non-product-placement building and get Tanya to get near the landing Conscripts (their shadows will indicate their landing locations). Once they are all down, head southeast towards Fort Bradley (but going a little bit north of that location to rescue some Grizzly Tanks). At Fort Bradley, the Base will be under Blue Control. Eva says that the Soviet Base is south of Fort Bradley, but the Reds have destroyed the Bridge. Fix it up with an Engineer. Advance across the Bridge. The main gate is defended by two Sentry Guns, but a few shots at the Barrels will damage them heavily. Tanya can also take the more unguarded upper route into the Base. To complete the mission, destroy every single Structure in the area. There are two Crates in the area too. ------------------ 3.102 >Eagle Dawn< ------------------ Location: Colorado Springs. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 6. Objectives: -Recapture the Allied Base. -Destroy the Soviet Base. -Tanya must survive. Notes: Rocketeers and Grizzly Tanks are introduced. Harriers can also be used. Overview: Next stop is Colorado, where Vladimir has deployed his forces and Captured the Allied Air Base. The Base must be retaken, and the Soviets must be driven back! Opinion: There's not much to say about this Mission, but the Harriers cannot be replaced, so use them wisely. Kill the Soviet Patrol, then move north. Once the Base has been spotted, have Tanya swim across the lake, and headshot the Conscripts there. Then detonate the Flak Cannons so the Rocketeers can get rid of the Sentry Guns outside the Walls. When the Cannons are gone, Engineers will Paradrop into the Base. Have them Capture every single Structure. Pump out a few Chrono Miners, and many Grizzlies. When ready, move east towards the Soviet Base. Use the Rocketeers to destroy the northern part of the Base, and get the Grizzlies to shoot the Walls to access the greater part. When the Flak Cannons are destroyed (they are located in the south entrance), MANY GIs will Paradrop into the Base. Destroy every Structure and every Unit to win. ------------------------- 3.103 >Hail to the Chief< ------------------------- Location: Washington DC, USA. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Destroy the Psychic Beacon. Notes: IFVs and Harriers are introduced. Nighthawk Transport makes a cameo. Overview: Looks like Romanov's Psychic assistant, Yuri, has deployed one of his Psychic Beacons in Washington DC, taking the minds of many people, including President Dugan and General Carville. Destroy the Beacon so that the President can be evacuated safely. Opinion: Washington DC will be one of the most recurring places to be in, in Red Alert 2. The rule that comes with this note is that Repairing certain memorials will create a Crate filled with bonuses. This mission can be either won through using Ground Troops or many Harriers. After the presentation of the IFVs, get the Engineer to repair the Jefferson Memorial and collect the Crates. Deploy the MCV and get the Power Plant building. Get the GIs to garrison the Structure nearest to the Bridge, and have the rest of the troops to the area between the two Bridges. Many Mind- Controlled Civilians and Conscripts will be coming from those Bridges, so keep that position guarded. Establish all the buildings necessary and get a few Chrono Miners to collect the Resources. The Brown Soviet Base on the other side of the Bridge is poorly guarded, and has no Anti-Air Defences. Use Harriers to soften up the Sentry Guns and when ready, roll over the Brown troops and Capture the Structures. Reinforcements will arrive from the southeast and northwest corners, so have them liberate the nearby Memorials. Use Harriers to scout out throughout the city to find any enemy Garrisoned Structures. Smash them and kill the Conscripts. When there's enough troops, advance north to the Washington Monument and the Red Soviet Base. Roll over their bases and destroy the Psychic Beacon. An alternative way to do this is to create lots of Air Force Command HQs and fill them up with Harriers. It will take three groups of four Harriers to take out a Command Centre. The Psychic Beacon is located north of the Soviet Base and south of the White House. Send all of the Harriers through the Bases and to the Beacon. When the Psychic Beacon is destroyed, the President will evacuate. Here's an alternate strategy from Kerplunk47: "1. After I established a base I just used Attack Dogs/Rocketeers to scout out exactly where the Psychic Beacon is. 2. Built a few Chrono Miners and two War Factories, and I just had them pump out Grizzlies (I'd say a force of about 15 strong, give or take). 3. I took the long way around, staying on the streets to the east. The only enemies I encountered were two garrisoned buildings. So with this I just attacked the Beacon from behind. The only response I got was a few Rhinos, but they couldn't stop me in time. Mission end :D" ------------------- 3.104 >Last Chance< ------------------- Location: Chicago, Illinois. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Destroy the Grand Cannons. -Destroy the Soviet Naval Base. -Establish a Base. -Destroy the Psychic Amplifier. Notes: Destroyers are introduced. Overview: The Soviets have developed a new Psychic building called the Psychic Amplifier. It will Mind Control all of the USA, so it MUST be brought down at all costs! Naval forces from Canada are willing to aid the Americans in this operation. Opinion: No General Carville, I'm pretty sure there's more people here in Canada than cows. Naval combat is introduced to the Allies in this mission, and the mission can be won with just Naval Units and clever knowledge of the terrain. It seems that the Soviets have captured some of the Grand Cannons in the costal area. Destroy them with the Rocketeers, and then advance the Destroyers towards the shores. Be on alert for enemy Typhoon Submarines. Destroy the Sentry Guns and other buildings and then get the Transports to the shores to get the Land forces to battle. Capture the enemy Construction Yard for either extra technology or just easy cash. Please note that if one of the Soviet Tesla Reactors are destroyed, the Soviets will sell their entire naval base, so be careful (sent in by Gary "SIUnit" Wu). The enemy Base is located North, and the Soviets won't stop attacking until that Base is leveled. Create some Grizzlies and roll over that Base. With that threat out of the way, there's an Airport on the other side of the northeastern Bridge. Repair the Bridge and destroy the Tesla Reactors. Use the Destroyers to move through the canal, neutralizing any opposition on the way. Destroy the Psychic Amplifier with Rocketeers and Destroyers to complete the Operation. Eva congratulates the Allies on their part, but she is interrupted by General Vladimir, who deploys a Nuclear Missile on where the Amplifier used to stand, and then detonates it. ------------------ 3.105 >Dark Night< ------------------ Location: Polish/German Border. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Infiltrate the Red Battle Lab. -Destroy the two Nuclear Missile Silos. -Tanya must survive. Notes: Spies are introduced. Overview: The Nuclear Explosion in Chicago has gathered the attention and concern from European nations. They have decided to fight for the Allies only if the Nuclear Missiles in Poland are destroyed. Opinion: A key thought in this mission: ATTACK DOGS ARE HIGHEST PRIORITY TARGETS! Not only can they kill Spies instantly, but can kill Tanya as well if she isn't on the alert. Never try to outrun them. The Spies are disguised as Blue Conscripts. Make them disguise as Red Conscripts. Advance to the road, but don't go any further north, instead, going east to find a stranded squad of GIs. Then move up the road, keeping an eye out for those patrol squads, which include Attack Dogs and Conscripts. The Red Base should be further up north. Destroy the Tesla Coil on the right by destroying the nearby Barrels. Get a Spy to infiltrate a Tesla Reactor to shut down the Power. Have Tanya destroy the other Tesla Coil. There's two more Tesla Coils behind the Battle Lab, but they can be destroyed by the nearby Barrels. Shoot any Conscripts in the area, including the ones in line for the outhouse. Destroy the Tesla Coils through destruction of the Barrels and then move east and then south to find a group of GIs and Engineers. Get an Engineer to Capture the Barracks and Tesla Reactor, then start pumping out more Engineers to Capture the rest of the base (except for the Battle Lab). To the west is some Crates and a group of Cows. Have the Spy enter the Battle Lab when Tanya's ready to go. The Map will extend, revealing the two Nukes. There are now two ways to complete this mission, with the Easy or Hard methods. The easier and less-time consuming method: Let's go for the Brown Base first. Advance north, aware of enemy patrol groups. Tanya should swim across the river and shoot the Barrels near the Walls. This will destroy those sections. Tanya should shoot any enemies that attempt to attack her, and then the Barrels next to the Tesla Coil. Then destroy the Brown Nuke. Fall back to the Captured Base and then move northwest. Once across the river, go west to find some Prisoners. Kill the guards and blow up the fence. Get the Grizzly and Tanya east towards the Orange Nuke. Blow up the Walls with the Grizzly to allow Tanya to bypass the Tesla Coils. Use the Grizzly to destroy the Walls blocking the Nuke, then detonate it with Tanya. The harder but more fun method: Move north and destroy the Barrels to make the gap in the Wall. Use Tanya to dispatch all of the Conscripts and Attack Dogs. When all of the Attack Dogs are killed, send a Spy into a Tesla Reactor, and have Tanya to destroy all of the Tesla Coils. Send an Engineer to Capture the Brown Silo, as well as Capturing the rest of the Base. In this process, build a pair of Rhino Tanks. Wait for the Nuke to become ready, and use it on the Orange Base, which is guarding its Nuke in the near north. This will destroy most of the Base, so send in the troops and clear out anything else. Tanya can also rescue the Prisoners and use the Grizzly in conjunction with the Rhinos to clear the Base. --------------- 3.106 >Liberty< --------------- Location: Washington DC, USA. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Establish a Base at the Pentagon. -Destroy all Soviet forces. Notes: Nighthawk Transports are introduced. Overview: Now that the European nations have joined the Allies, the Americans must now start to liberate their country and drive the Soviets out of the USA. The first target for liberation is Washington DC. Get Carville's office back! Opinion: Again, this is another situation in Washington, but it shifts a little more to the southwest, revealing the Pentagon's location. Hold the line and defend the Pentagon from the incoming Soviet army. Once the reinforcements have arrived, Deploy the MCV and get the GIs to the front! Build up the Base and get as many Prism Towers and Pillboxes up as possible. Use Walls to prevent any Terror Drones from getting in, and make sure the resources are blocked off. Get at least 3 more Chrono Miners, then get a Service Depot. Also, build some Patriot Missiles near the Defences to fend off enemy V3s. Once the Pentagon is secure, get an MCV and move it north towards the Bridge. Deploy it there and also Capture the Hospital as well. Block off the Bridge by building Walls in front of it, and erect an Ore Refinery as well as Prism Towers and Pillboxes. Get a Nighthawk Transport there too in case of Artillery. Now that the area is fully secure, get some more Air Force Command HQs and get a fleet of 12 Harriers. Use them to attack the Brown Soviet Base in the northeast. Unlike last time, this Base is heavily guarded, with Flak Cannons! Use the Harriers to destroy their Construction Yard, and then keep bombarding it until they Sell all of their Structures and make a mass attack to the Pentagon. They'll be no match for the Prism Towers there. There's also some Red Ore Refineries to the north near the Lincoln Memorial. Send in some Rocketeers and a Nighthawk Transport with an Engineer and a Spy and get them to the Memorial. Repair the Lincoln Memorial, and use the Spy to collect the Crates. Send him in a nearby Ore Refinery, then destroy the Refineries. This will provide enough funds to produce millions of troops. Establish a Base where the Brown Base used to be, and get some Defences up to the Bridges. Don't forget to repair the Jefferson Memorial. Also, build up a War Factory and Barracks there too. Keep mass producing GIs and Grizzly Tanks, and then, once ready, move north towards the Red Soviet Base. Use Harriers to scout out the area. Once all key Structures have been taken from the Soviets, they will "Sell out" and make a mass attack. When this happens, fall back to the Pentagon. Once the epic fight is over, the mission is over too. ---------------- 3.107 >Deep Sea< ---------------- Location: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Destroy the Soviet Base. Notes: Aegis Cruisers and Aircraft Carriers are introduced. Overview: Now that the Americans have taken back Washington DC, the Soviets are sending in more troops to invade the US. They are about to assault Pearl Harbor and need some beatings. Opinion: More Naval Units are introduced in this mission. The Aircraft Carrier in particular will be vital to mission sucess. Get an Engineer and Nighthawk Transport out ASAP, and get the Navals to the narrow Water entry. Get the Engineer into the Nighthawk, and fly them north to the Airport. Capture it and surround it with Walls. Capture the Hospital on the opposite side of the lake from the Base as well. Secure them both with Prism Towers and Pillboxes. Get some Pillboxes all around the Base as well to prevent Engineer rushes. Also, build some Patriot Missiles. Pretty soon, the Teal Allied Base in the east will be annihilated, and the Soviet Navy will arrive at the Blue Base too. Destroy the Subs and Sea Scorpions with the Destroyers, and use the Aegis Cruisers and Aircraft Carriers against the Dreadnoughts. Build up as many Aircraft Carriers and Destroyers as possible, then move east towards the fallen Teal Base, where the Soviets have started to make their Base. They will also create a Nuclear Missile. Destroy that above all else. Then destroy the rest of the Base. As for further Soviet attacks, use Attack Dogs against the Paratroopers, and protect the Hopsital with garrisoned GIs. Don't let any Engineers get into the Base! Note that sometimes the Soviets might not Deploy their MCV. In any case, clear out that island! Here's an alternate strategy sent in by Gary "SIUnit" Wu: "There's a trick to beat this map in under 9 minutes. The moment you gain control, starting building rocketeers, and ignore everything, just keep building them. When the teal base falls, send all your current rocketeers (anywhere from 7-9 at this moment) to where the base was, and continue to send newly built rocketeers there. On easy and normal, you should be able to kill their construction yard before or just as they have their barrack up, give or take. In Hard, they might have the barrack up before you kill the construction yard, but just focus fire the flak troopers and resume the beat down. My record on beating this was just a little over 7 minutes on hard move and a little over 6 minutes for normal, ever played easy mode." -------------------- 3.108 >Free Gateway< -------------------- Location: Saint Louis, Missouri. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Destroy the Psychic Beacon. -Destroy all Soviet forces. -Tanya must Survive. Notes: Prism Tanks are introduced. Civilians can also be used. Overview: Another Psychic Beacon has been spotted in Saint Louis. Destroy this Structure in order to start the liberation of this City. Opinion: This level is unique since Civilians can be used without the use of Mind Control. It also has Engineers that are somehow at their Heroic stage. Move across the Bridge towards the southwest. Keep moving, eliminating any opposition on the way. Once Tanya and her squad have reached the outside of the Beacon's Base, destroy the Barrels to leave a gap in the Walls. Dispatch all enemy patrols and then destroy the Tesla Reactors to render the Tesla Coils inactive. Once all threats are gone, use an Engineer to Capture the Beacon to gain 3000 extra dollars! Once the Beacon is neutralized, through either Capture or destruction, all of the citizens and soldiers will come under Allied Control (though most near the main Soviet Base will be killed). This will reveal the location of the Base. Reinforcements will also arrive at the coast near the Arc. Deploy the MCV and collect the Crate. Start building the Base. There's also a War Factory and Ore Refinery located to the west of this position, so Capture them. Build Defences around them as well, and keep Tanya here to deal with enemy Infantry. Most of the Citizens will start heading towards the Arc. Keep them here. Start cranking up Prism Tanks. Eva will also spot some Desolators in the area. Destroy them. Once ready, advance towards the Soviet Base. Leave nothing behind! ------------------ 3.109 >Sun Temple< ------------------ Location: Tulum, Mexico. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Neutralize any Soviet Prism replicas. -Destroy the rest of the Soviet Base. Notes: Navy SEALS are introduced. Overview: In Tulum, Mexico, the Soviets have started to create copies of Einstein's Prism Towers. They must be destroyed, since the Allies won't make replicas of Tesla weapons! Opinion: Navy SEALS are the best. Keep an eye out for enemy Attack Dogs! After the SEALS have landed, move west towards the village. Slaughter any enemy Infantry in the area, then rescue the hostages (Grizzly Tanks and GIs). A Nighthawk will arrive to drop off some Engineers. Move northwest to find an Airport. Capture it with an Engineer, then protect it with some GIs. Move back south at the village, then move southeast. Blow up the barrels to breach the Walls. Use the Nighthawk to scout out the area. There's some Flak Cannons, so try to destroy them with the SEALs provided whenever possible. Nearby is one of the Prism Pyramids. Destroy it with a SEAL. Destroy the Tesla Reactors nearby as well. There is also a Construction Yard, Barracks, and War Factory. Capture the Construction Yard and create a Barracks. Start training Engineers to Capture the rest of the Base (or just blow the crap out of it with the SEALs). Destroy the other Pyramid as well. The Soviets will retaliate by sending everything at our commando team. Use the Grizzlies to take care of the Armour and SEALs for the Infantry. Then use the Grizzlies to take out the Sentry Guns to finish the mission. -------------- 3.110 >Mirage< -------------- Location: Black Forest, Germany. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 10. Objectives: -Destroy all Soviet forces. -Einstein's Labratory and Chronosphere must survive. Notes: Mirage Tanks are introduced. The Chronosphere makes a cameo. Overview: German's finest scientist, Einstein, is about to get under attack by Soviet forces. He must be protected to ensure the Chronosphere's development. Carville has also been killed by one of them Crazy Ivans. Opinion: This is the most exhilirating mission in the game! This is also the hardest mission so far, so be prepared! It also has some funny tidbits. Start by sending the extra MCV towards Einstein's (Green) Base to bolster up his Defences. Keep a Mirage Tank in his Base as well, but send the other two up to the main Base. Make a few Navy SEALs, and start creating Structures! The Teal Bases in the northeast will fall to Soviet invaders. By now, the Soviets will also send in some forces to attack the main Base! Respond to this by destroying their forces, especially their V3s. Get an Engineer to the Outpost (its location should be revealed by building a Spy Satellite). Build an Ore Refinery next to it to secure those Resources nearby. There's also a Capturable Refinery in the southeast. Capture it also and build some Defences around it. Don't forget to construct an Ore Purifier. This will guarantee mass riches. If any Soviet forces try to flank the main Base and try to attack Einstein's, he'll use the Radar alert system (even though he's not authorized to do that). Pretty soon, Romanov's Red Soviet Army will have some Apocalypse Tanks arriving. Build Defences around Einstein's Lab, with Prism Towers and extra Pillboxes and a SEAL. Start building some Prism Tanks as well, along with SEALs. Once ready, send in the troops to assault the Soviets! Let's start with Vladimir's Brown Base. His won't be too well defended, but be still aware of his Tesla Coils. Roll over his Base with the Prism Tanks, and use SEALs to take care of the Structures. Send some Spies in the Structures too. Next stop is Yuri's Orange Base. Do the same to him. Last is Romanov's Red Base, which will have more guards in it than the other two. He won't be any match for the Allied Prism Tanks though! Once every single Soviet Unit has been decimated, Einstein will be safe at last. --------------- 3.111 >Fallout< --------------- Location: Florida Keys, USA. Difficulty: Insane! Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Build a Chronosphere. -Destroy the Cuban Nukes. Notes: Dolphins and the Chronosphere are introduced. Overview: Einstein has finished his Chronosphere project, and he knows the perfect place to put it: The Florida Keys. However, this is very close to Soviet Cuba, which is armed with Missiles. These must be destroyed in order for the Chronosphere to be left untouched. Opinion: Looks like Castro had some of his own Nuclear Missiles after all! This is another very difficult mission. Make sure every entry is guarded. Naval Units will be vital in this mission. After getting the Squid off the Cruise Ship, get the GIs into the two buildings south of the Resource patch to the east. Also, create two SEALs, a Nighthawk, and two Engineers. Also, create an Aegis Cruiser for defence. Get the Nighthawk over to the Oil Derricks to the north (with the Engineers inside) and Capture them. The Ore Refinery in the north will fall quickly, so get the Chrono Miner out of there! Build another Refinery at the Oil Derricks, and then build Defences at the stone crossing. To deal with the Dreadnoughts, build Patriot Missiles and Prism Towers near the shores, and get a SEAL to sink it. Build Defences at the Bridge at the main Base, or simply destroy it. It is imperative that the Bridge connecting to the Base and the City to the north is destroyed by a SEAL; this will prevent most of the Soviet ground forces from coming into the Base. Put the SEAL near the Bridge in case the Bridge is fixed, or if Desolators paradrop at that location. The SEAL can also detonate the Bridge if a lot of Soviets are crossing the Bridge, killing them instantly. Build Defences at the shores near the Oil Derricks; Apocalypse Tanks may get over there. Once all entries have been secure, build the Chronosphere. By now, the Missiles are armed, so start building Aircraft Carriers and Destroyers, as well as Dolphins. Send them south towards the Base. Start by taking out the Nuclear Reactors in the southwest and in the main Base. This will freeze the timers for the Missiles. Then use the Carriers to cut through every Structure in the Base and finally, the Missiles. The Missiles can also be destroyed through Chronoshifts with Prism Tanks. Once this is done, Romanov will send an ultimatum before he is told that the Missiles have been annhilated. He is furious, and is preparing to get Moscow on the defensive. Here's an alternate strategy submitted by an anonymous contributor: "-After killing the squid, hide your naval units in the corner behind your shipyard. -This ensures that enemies will attack your shipyard while your units pick them off. -Train 2 seals and get to high tech + a spy satellite ASAP. -Blow both bridges, leaving a seal by the north bridge and use the other to sink dreadnaughts. -Build 6+ mirage tanks and a second war factory to speed things up. -Use the mirage tanks to help defend your shipyard. -Build 4+ prism tanks and a chronosphere. -Chrono 6 mirage tanks and 4 prism tanks to the southwest corner. -Destroy the nuclear reactor there with your prism tanks and maneouvre any apocalypses in front of your mirage tanks. -Destroy the remaining nuclear reactors in the southwest of the base, stopping the timer. -Destroy the nukes at leisure." -------------------- 3.112 >Chrono Storm< -------------------- Location: Moscow, Russia. Difficulty: Insane! Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Secure the landing zone. -Destroy Romanov's Black Guard around the Kremlin. Notes: Chrono Legionaires and the Weather Control Device are introduced. Overview: This is it! This is the final showdown between the Allies and the Soviets! The Kremlin must not be destroyed, since Tanya will have to infiltrate it to find and apprehend Romanov. Opinion: The Soviets have both the Iron Curtain and Nuclear Missile Silo in hand, so move fast! Use of the Chronosphere, Weather Device, and Prism Tanks will be vital to this mission, as well as the placement of the War Factory; there's no stopping the Nuke from launching at least once in this mission. Three Heroic SEALs will Paradrop into the weak Brown Soviet Base. Get a SEAL to blow up the lonely Tesla Reactor. This will shut off all Tesla Coils in the LZ. Destroy the barrels to free the prisoners. Use the Engineers to Capture the Oil Derricks in the area, and use the GIs to destroy the Coils. An alternate way to deal with the harmless coils by Gary "SIUnit" Wu: "Use GI to weaken the coils, but let the IFVs take the kill. This way you can get 3 Elite status IFVs, which will solve all your anti Kirov needs." Deploy the MCV, and get the GIs into the Bunkers. Train more to fill them up completley. Since the enemy will always target War Factories with the Nuke, build it to the northwest entry, and build Walls around it (as far away from the other Structures as possible). Build Walls around the northeast entry as well. Construct some Prism Towers at the southern entries to take care of enemy Armour, as well as outside the War Factory's Walls. Also, build Patriot Missiles near the southern Oil Derricks in the Allied Base to fend off Kirovs, as well as near the Walls in case of V3s. Get a Nighthawk and fill it up with three Engineers. Take it northeast to the Airfield. Capture it and build Defences around it. Then go south to Capture the Oil Derricks too. Do the same for them. To prevent the Soviets from using their Nuclear Missile and Iron Curtain, keep mass-producing Spies and keep sending them to the eastern Soviet Base. There are no Attack Dogs there (or at least on Normal difficulty), so send them in the Tesla Reactors. This will shut down the Soviet power lines, and will stop the Superweapon Timers. Send a Spy in the Barracks, War Factory, and Battle Lab too. Steal cash from the Ore Refinery in that location also to ensure that funds will no longer be an issue. Build a Chronosphere and Weather Control Device. Start cranking out Prism and Mirage Tanks, as well as a few extra Navy SEALs. Put them in the IFVs gained through the Chronoshifts. The enemy will use the Iron Curtain and Nuclear Missile heavily, so try not to let any Invulnerable Terror Drones get into any vehicles, and rebuild whenever the Nuke strikes the War Factory. Use the Chronosphere to transport any Prism Tanks to the Superweapons, starting with the Nuclear Missile. A few Prism Tanks will be capable of destroying it. Do the same to the Iron Curtain. Here's another way to deal with the Superweapons by Gary "SIUnit" Wu: "Chrono an IFV with a SEAL next to the super weapon, undeploy the SEAL and blow it up. The walls around the super weapon will block the Apocalypse tank fire for you." Now that the biggest threats are eliminated, focus on destroying the east and west Soviet outposts. The Prism Tanks will take them out with little difficulty. Notice the two Nuclear Reactors to the southeast. They should be destroyed. Move south towards the Kremlin. Eradicate any Red Soviets in this area. Romanov's Black Guards consist of four Heroic Apocalypse Tanks as well as a few Tesla Coils and a pair of Nuclear Reactors (outside). Use some Chronoshifted Prism Tanks to level the Black Nuclear Reactors to power down the Black Defences. The Apocalypse Tanks can be dealt by Chronoshifting them into the lake. Do NOT use Prism Tanks on them at their initial location; the Kremlin may be destroyed in this process. Here's a tip from James "Fatbird" Lai. Note that this strategy will only work if a Spy managed to infiltrate a Battle Lab: "Use the PSI Commandos to control Romanov's Heroic Apocalypse Tanks. They can cause havoc to the rest of the soviet troops if you can get them to the tanks. Plus, destroying them is sometimes a headache so I just tried to convert them into my side." Once all of the Tanks have been dealt with, use some SEALs to destroy the Defences (Have the Prism Tanks or Mirage Tanks to destroy the Sentry Guns). Tanya will Chronoshift in and enter the Kremlin. Looks like the Soviets have tried to hide Romanov, but instead, Romanov is found by Tanya in his underpants! Good job! Here's an alternate strategy submitted by an anonymous contributor: "-Capture the other two oil derricks and get to high tech + spy satellite ASAP. -Train a few GIs and garrison one bunker defending each exit. -When you get your grizzlies, liberate the airfield and take it with an engineer. -Train 2 more engineers to capture the oil derricks nearby and garrison buildings when reinforcements are ready. -Once you get to high tech, build a second barracks and train 6+ chronowarriors. -Build a Chronosphere and erase every nuclear reactor on the map with your chronowarriors. -You should be able to avoid the first nuke, and even the first Iron Curtain if you are good enough. -Chrono the elite black guard into the water and then storm the Kremlin's defences with your Chrono Legionnaires. -Make sure you erase the Tesla Coil last and from a distance, or you might get attacked by a swarm of soviet units." ============================= 3.200 >Soviet First Campaign< ============================= This is the alternate Soviet Campaign. Fight for the motherland! ---------------- 3.201 >Red Dawn< ---------------- Location: Washington DC, USA. Difficulty: Easy. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Destroy the Pentagon. Notes: Conscripts, Engineers, Attack Dogs, and Rhino Tanks are introduced. Overview: The USA has been invaded by the Soviets from everywhere! First on the list of targets is the Pentagon. A mass attack will level it in no time! Opinion: Like every other introduction level, this one is easy. Millions of Conscripts will be available. All Washington rules do NOT apply here, as the map has shiften southwest. As the Conscripts drop at the Iwo Jima Memorial, they will move south towards the new Soviet Base. Check the area for Trucks; they will drop Crates containing upgrades when destroyed. Move northeast and dispatch the three GIs. To the northeast is an Allied outpost. Destroy it, and get an Engineer to fix the Bridge. Once the outpost is leveled, move northwest and garrison the Structures. There are also two Crates on either side of the buildings. When the Pillboxes guarding the Base is destroyed, Capture the Airport. Engineers and Conscripts will drop in. Use the Engineers to Capture the entire Base. Use another Engineer to fix the Bridge to the northwest. Get a Conscript to get across to find four Rhino Tanks. Advance northeast across the Bridge to the Pentagon. Once the Pentagon is in range, a legion of Conscripts and Rhino Tanks will arrive. Use them to smash the poorly guarded Pentagon, and level its four segments (yes, four segments!) to finish the mission. --------------------- 3.202 >Hostile Shore< --------------------- Location: Florida Coast, USA. Difficulty: Easy. Fun Factor: 5. Objectives: -Set up a Base. -Destroy the Allied Forces in this area. Notes: Flak Tracks and Typhoon Submarines are introduced. A Dreadnought makes a cameo. Overview: The next place to "visit" is Florida. Make a landing there and destroy the Allied Navy. General Vladimir will provide support. Opinion: Soviet Naval tactics will be introduced in this mission. Be sure to destroy every single Allied Unit. The Beachside Hotels (the Structures with the umbrellas) contain Crates, so destroy those. As Vladimir destroys the Allied Pillboxes on the beach, the Soviets will land. Destroy everything here. An MCV will arrive. Deploy it in this area. Start building a Naval Yard and some Submarines. As Vladimir keeps bombing the crap out of the city, move west to find some Oil Derricks. Capture them and kill any Crocodiles here. Vladimir will make a reckless move as he attempts to engage the Allied Navy with his Dreadnought. He then retreats and demands that they be destroyed. Some Subs will arrive, so use them as well as the ones recently created. Advance south and engage the Destroyers. To the west of their position is the Naval Yard. Blow it up. Advance south with Land Troops to locate the enemy Base. Level it and destroy every single enemy Unit to finish the mission (if the mission doesn't end, a Chrono Miner is probably in the Soviet Base somehow). ----------------- 3.203 >Big Apple< ----------------- Location: New York. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 4. Objectives: -Capture the Allied Battle Lab. -Defend the Psychic Beacon. Notes: Flak Troopers, V3 Launchers, and Psi Corps are introduced. Tesla Troopers are also available. Overview: Next up is New York. The Soviets will need to set up a Psychic Beacon at the Twin Towers to take over the city. Opinion: This mission is slow. Protect the Psi Corps at all costs; they cannot be replaced. Build up an Ore Refinery. To the south is some Oil Derricks. Capture them and set up Defences around it as well as garrisoning the nearby Structures. Some Psi Corps will arrive. Build up an army of Rhino Tanks and V3 Launchers. Use the V3s to destroy the Allied Garrisoned Structure to the northeast guarding the Barracks. Capture it once it's secure and destroy the IFVs above it. Train some Engineers and put them into Flak Tracks. Move southeast and secure and Capture the War Factory. To the north is the World Trade Centre's Battle Lab. Neutralize the Pillboxes surrounding it and Capture every single Structure there (except for the Battle Lab). Get some Sentries around the former Allied Base. Start pumping out Flak Troopers and Tracks. To the west is an Outpost, which has precious resources nearby. When ready, Capture the Battle Lab. The Twin Towers each contain a Crate, but those resources shouldn't be necessary. Once the Beacon is in place, the Allies will Paradrop lots of troops! Even Grizzlies are dropping in! Use the Flak guns to deal with the Rocketeers, and Psi Corps to handle the Ground Troops. Once the timer is finished, the entire army will succumb to the Psychic Beacon. ------------------ 3.204 >Home Front< ------------------ Location: Vladivostok, Russia. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 1. Objectives: -Destroy the Korean forces. Notes: Sea Scorpions and Terror Drones are introduced. Overview: It seems that the South Koreans have made a sneak attack on the Russian shores. Repel them and prove that the USSR cannot be caught off guard. Opinion: I hate this mission since it's so boring. Fortunatley, this mission can be completed really fast through decisive action. Build a War Factory (once available) and crank out some Terror Drones. Also, build some Flak Cannons to prevent enemy Harriers from damaging the Base. Get the Drones to the east; this is where the Koreans will land. Build some Rhino Tanks and Subs, and get some Conscripts to Garrison the nearby Structures for Defence. Move the Subs and some Sea Scorpions to the east south of the Korean landing zone. Once the Koreans arrive, they will be no match for the Terror Drones set up there. Hopefully, their MCV will be destroyed in the process. The Koreans near the Base will probably be killed by the Garrisoned Infantry. Make sure that every single Allied Unit is destroyed, including the Destroyers in the water. ---------------------- 3.205 >City of Lights< ---------------------- Location: Paris, France. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Energize the Paris Tower. -Destroy all Allied Forces. Notes: Tesla Troopers and Crazy Ivans are introduced. Overview: The rest of Europe has joined the Allies in the war. They will need to be pacified through the use of Tesla technology. Opinion: This is a commando-style mission. Try not to get too many casualties. There are a lot of civilian Structures in them, so Garrison Conscripts to take care of tougher targets. Garrison the Conscripts in the nearby Structures to take care of any enemy Armour in this area. Move the troops to the west and secure the Oil Derricks. To the north is a soccer field guarded by more Allied troops. Destroy the Barrels to light them on fire. Move further north and a Soviet Transport will drop off a Flak Track. The northeastern entrance to the Paris Tower is heavily guarded, but not as heavily defended as the other entrances. Roll over their GIs and get to the Tower. The Tesla Troopers will start charging it like a Tesla Coil, but this Tower is super powerful! It will eventually demolish everything in the City, but make sure that the Barracks at the starting point is secure. ------------------ 3.206 >Sub-Divide< ------------------ Location: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Destroy all Allied Naval Forces. Notes: Dreadnoughts are introduced. Overview: The Allies are gaining a foothold in the pacific. Their Naval forces there need to be eradicated. The Koreans will give them support, so annihilate them also. Looks like Yuri is taking advantage of Romanov... Opinion: Protect the Dreadnoughts that are provided in this Mission, they cannot be replaced. This map will look familiar for those who played the seventh Allied mission... Make a landing at the nearby island and start scanning the area. Kill the Cows here to get some Crates, and then build some more Miners and a Naval Yard. Create more Subs and Sea Scorpions. Extra Naval reinforcements, including three useful Dreadnoughts will arrive from the north. Bring them to the base. There's no stopping the Korean fleet from coming to the harbor. Some of them will even attack the Soviet drop-off point! Secure the area with Flak Cannons and Tesla Coils, then destroy any invaders with Subs and Scorpions. When ready, advance to the northwest towards Pearl Harbor. Level any costal Defences and the Air Force Command HQ. Use the Dreadnoughts to deal with any Defences or Structures, and have the other boats annihilate the Allied Navy. Once all Allied Navals are sunk, the Soviets win this battle. ---------------------- 3.207 >Chrono Defense< ---------------------- Location: Ural Mountains, Russia. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 4. Objectives: -Defend the Battle Lab. -Repel any Allied Units. Notes: Apocalypse Tanks are introduced. Overview: The Allies have developed the Chronosphere, and they are planning to steal the documents for the Apocalypse Tank. They must not access this information! Opinion: This mission is all about Defence. Above all else, do not let the Battle Lab get destroyed. Protect the Construction Yard also. The enemy will send in Spies and Snipers, so get some Attack Dogs on all entries. Don't let the Snipers kill the Dogs, however, and smash them with Flak Tracks. Build a few more War Miners, and get up some Tesla Coils and Flak Cannons. Send a Terror Drone to destroy the Truck in the village to reveal the entire map. To the east is some Oil Derricks and an Outpost. Defend it with Tesla Coils and an Apocalypse Tank. Keep buildng more Apocalypse Tanks to defend against those deadly Prism Tanks. Any GI that Paradrops glitchy is a Spy. Eliminate them. Snipers will also be besieging the Base, so use Flak Tracks on them. An Allied Convoy will approach on the road, so destroy them for some Crates. Keep defending the Base, and when all Allied Units are gone, the battle is won. ------------------- 3.208 >Desecration< ------------------- Location: Washington DC, USA. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Capture the White House. Notes: Desolators are introduced. Overview: Yuri has announced that Premier Romanov has been murdered Vladimir. He has betrayed the Soviet Union. Yuri has declared him an enemy of the people, hence he must be apprehended. Opinion: The Desolator is the only nation-specific Unit introduced in the original Red Alert 2 game. Anyhow, the map layout is exactly like the third Allied mission, but the Soviets start at the northwest corner near the Lincoln Memorial. All Washington rules apply here, but they need to be destroyed in order for a cash bonus. Start building the Base. Enemy Brown Conscripts will drop near the base, so Deploy a Desolator in their drop area to kill them instantly. Another squad of Conscripts will drop at the Resource patch in the east. Do the same. Destroy the Lincoln Memorial to get some Crates. Build a Tesla Coil at the Bridge to prevent enemies from advancing into the Base (or just blow up the Bridge). To the southeast is a Brown Soviet Base. Level it down. Still to the east is a Psychic Beacon. Destroy it to make the GIs in this area leave their posts. To the south is the Jefferson Memorial, but the Bridge is out. Repair it and destroy the Brown forces in the area, as well as the Memorial. Advance north when ready and destroy every single Purple Soviet Structure. Vladimir says that Yuri is the actual traitor, but what must be done has to be done (or something like that). Capture the White House when the area is secure. ----------------------------- 3.209 >The Fox and the Hound< ----------------------------- Location: San Antonio, Texas. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 6. Objectives: -Mind Control the President. Notes: Psi Corps are further introduced. Overview: The President is hiding in the Alamo. The Alamo is heavily guarded with Navy SEALs and Prism Towers, so the Soviets will need to improvise with the forces provided. Opinion: Everything must be perfect in this mission. Remember to Save once a step has been completed. A mass attack of Conscripts and Tesla Troopers fails miserably as the SEALs and Prism Towers rip them apart. Some Psi Corps will land somewhere else and Mind Control an IFV. Advance northeast to the first Teal Allied Base. Put a Psychic in the IFV and use it to attack the two GIs. Then control the Engineers and Capture the Battle Lab & Barracks. Move east, avoiding the Cowboys, and then south to the second Teal Allied Base. Mind Control the Sniper to take out the GIs and then Grizzly to destroy the Pillboxes. Get an Engineer to Capture the Airport. Save here. Send the Grizzly to the Alamo. Use the IFV to go to the southern parking area and destroy all the Trucks for some Crates. This will make the IFV super powerful. Mind Control the Sniper and use him to pick off any Attack Dog patrols in the area. Use the super IFV to destroy any other IFVs patrolling the area. Use the Sniper to assassinate the SEALs on both entrances of the Alamo. Train a Spy once every Dog is dead. Get all of the forces to the northern end of the map and outside of the Alamo. Send the Spy to deactivate the Power and then get the Sniper to kill the two bodyguards next to the Prez. Sacrifice either the Sniper or the IFV and use the spare Psi Guy to control the President. Another method is to use the IFV to cut through the Walls on the sides of the Alamo. Then send in the Conscripts (through Paradrops) to destroy the Power Plants to shut off the Power completley. -------------------------- 3.210 >Weathered Alliance< -------------------------- Location: US Virgin Islands. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 5. Objectives: -Capture the Battle Lab. -Destroy the Weather Control Device. Notes: Giant Squids and the Nuclear Missile Silo are introduced. Overview: The Allied scientist, Einstein, has developed the Weather Control Device. This device needs to be destroyed. Opinion: The Nuclear Missile will be vital for sucess. At the landing site, establish a Base and get some Dreadnoughts, Subs, Sea Scorpions, and Squids ready. To the east is an island with an Outpost and lots of Resources. Secure the main base with Tesla Coils and Flak Cannons. To the northeast is the Allied Naval guard. Use the Dreadnoughts to blow up the ships and the Naval Yard. The Nuke can also be used to blow up the entire beach! Use Transports to get some Apocalypse Tanks and an Engineer to eliminate the Allied Base. Then Capture the Battle Lab. Be sure to have the Nuclear Missile charged. Once the Weather Control Device is spotted, launch the Nuke! An alternative way to take out that Device is with lots of Dreadnoughts. ---------------------- 3.211 >Red Revolution< ---------------------- Location: Moscow, Russia. Difficulty: Insane! Fun Factor: 9. Objectives: -Destroy the Kremlin. Notes: Kirov Airships are introduced. Overview: Looks like Yuri got the best of both Romanov and Vladimir; he was the one that murdered Romanov! Romanov and Vladimir must be avenged! Defeating Yuri won't be an easy task; he's got three strong armies defending his stronghold! Opinion: Defence is key. Kirov Airships will also be vital for sucess, since the enemy will be sending in hordes of troops! Listen to my instructions carefully; this is an insanely hard mission. Set up the MCV and use the troops provided to Destroy the Orange outpost's Defences, then Capture the two Tesla Reactors on the hill. This will provide a foothold on the hill. Get some Conscripts north to the Oil Derrick and Garrison the Structures there. Get one Kirov to force fire on the narrow path to eliminate any enemy forces coming through. Build lots of Tesla Coils on the hill. Use the other Kirov to force fire on the other side of the hill. The enemies will be attacking in a linear path, so the Kirov will destroy any forces coming that way. Now that Defensive measures are taken care of, it's time to think on the offensive. Produce more Kirovs and then have them advance north towards the Orange Defences. This will secure the Resource field in that area. To the east of the Base is an Outpost and two more Oil Derricks. Capture and secure them. To the further east is an Airport. Capture it also. The enemy will start going for those targets now, so build Tesla Coils and Garrison Structures to ensure safety. Now it's time to think Nuclear. Build LOTS of Flak Cannons at the western Oil Derrick, as well as on the eastern side of the hill. Also, produce LOTS of Flak Troopers and Flak Tracks. Why? Once the Nuclear Missile is built (the Nuke will be essential to victory), Yuri will send Kirovs of his own to attack the Nuke. Hopefully, there will be enough Flak to send them down! The Iron Curtain is guarded heavily by Brown Troops south of the Kremlin. The Orange troops have established their base in the east. Use Kirovs to overrun these two bases. Start with the Brown Base that's guarding the Iron Curtain by flying the Kirovs over the cliffs and then towards the Orange Base. Yuri's Purple forces to the north are heavily entrenched. Use the Nuke on the Kremlin twice to end the mission. Lots of Kirovs can also be used to get through Yuri's Bases. He has lots of Cloning Vats in his Purple Base to create lots of Psi Corps. Target his Nuclear Reactors to power out his Defences at the Kremlin. The Kremlin is fortified, so it will take Air Power or Nuclear Weaponry to destroy this building safely. Here's an alternate strategy submitted by an anonymous contributor: "-If you don't care about losing your base, you can just turtle and spam Kirovs. -Take a few east and then northwest to destroy the two nuclear reactors there to shut down most of the Soviet Defences. -If you are good enough, you can do this at the start with your Rhino Tanks. -Then it is just a case of rushing the Kremlin with Kirovs." ------------------- 3.212 >Polar Storm< ------------------- Location: Point Hope, Alaska. Difficulty: Insane! Fun Factor: 6. Objectives: -Make a landing on the shores. -Destroy the Chronosphere. Notes: The Iron Curtain is introduced. Overview: The last Allied stronghold is in Alaska. Destroy it to ensure complete over the world. Level the Chronosphere to guarantee sucess. Opinion: The Allies will start Chronoshifting Units to attack, but these waves are scripted, so prepare a "welcoming" for them! Start building some Tesla Coils and four Crazy Ivans. The first Allied Chrono Wave will arrive south of the Resource Patch in between the rocks. Place the Ivans here and put them on Guard mode. Build a Naval Yard to the north and build Flak Cannons all over the shores. Build some Tesla Coils around the shores also. Now that the island is secure, build some Typhoons, Sea Scorpions, and Dreadnoughts. Send them to the west to locate the Allied Navy. Blow them up with the Dreadnoughts and then target the Naval Yards. Once this is done, destroy the costal Defences on the shores, and transport some Engineers and Apocalypse Tanks. Capture the Barracks and Construction yard, then start building a new Base. Relocate the Cloning Vats at this location. The Chronoshifts will start occuring in the Resource Patch to the north of this location. Likewise, train a total of four Crazy Ivans and put them on Guard mode in this location. Another method to deal with these is to use the Psi Corps (they can now be trained) to mind control the IFVs. Then put some Crazy Ivans in them to transform them into suicide vehicles. Send them to battle ASAP. There are more Defences on the cliff overlooking the Resource Patches, so send some Kirov Airships to destroy them. To the northeastern part of the Allied island is an Airport. Capture it and get some Psi Corps to guard the upper Resource Patch; Grizzlies will be Chronoshifting in this location. Prism Tanks will also teleport at the Resource Patch near the Allied Base, so keep bombing that location with Kirovs. The Chronosphere is on the upper side of this cliff, so secure the entry and Chronoshifting areas, as well as the island where the first Soviet base is. The Allies will send in wave after wave of Rocketeers and Harriers, so get some Anti-Air to protect it (and the Nuclear Silo when built). The mission ends when that pesky Chronosphere is destroyed. Here's an alternate strategy submitted by an anonymous contributor: "-Build a few sentry guns, 8+ tesla warriors, 3+ flak tracks and 2+ war miners. -Just leave the tesla warriors where the allies are about to shift their forces. -Get to high tech, train a yuri and leave it in the southern corner to capture the seal transport. -Build 3+ squids, 3+ sea scorpions and 2+ dreadnaughts to take over the sea. -Build a nuclear power plant and a few more war factories before spamming Kirovs. -Move your fleet to the south, around the cliffs and up towards the allied base. -Order your Dreadnoughts to destroy the ore refinery and any patriot missiles as they reveal themselves. -Amass your Kirovs in the south and move up the map to storm the chronosphere." ================================== 4.00 >Second Campaign Walkthrough< ================================== The Soviets may be defeated, but Yuri has disappeared from the vicinity and is now planning to rule the world with his many Psychic Dominators! A failed Allied Harrier attack manages to damage Yuri's Power in Alcatraz, but he still activates the rest of his Dominators. ============================= 4.10 >Second Allied Campaign< ============================= The Allies will be fighting against Yuri for most of the Campaign. Carville will also be seen in this mission. ----------------- 4.11 >Time Lapse< ----------------- Location: San Fransisco, California. Difficulty: Easy. Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Take over enough Power Plants to time travel. -Destroy the Soviet Navy. -Destroy the Psychic Dominator. Notes: Guardian GIs and Grand Cannons are introduced. Overview: All is not lost, however, since Einstein has developed a more advanced Time Machine. With it, an entire group of people can travel back in time to stop Yuri. The Psychic Dominator must be destroyed before its Defences are built. Opinion: Yuri will be the main force the Allies will be fighting against, so don't expect classic fights between the Allies and the Soviets (except for this mission). Notice how the Golden Gate Bridge is broken. The Allies are also low on Power, so search for some Tech Power plants. There's no Construction Yard here, but there is a Barracks and War Factory, as well as an Ore Refinery. Get 5 Guardian GIs to protect every entry to the Base, as well as a few Attack Dogs. Secure the first two Power Plants with some Mirage Tanks, then Capture them. To the southwest is another pair of Power Plants guarded by more Initiates and a Gattling Cannon. Get a Grizzly and the Mirage Tanks to destroy them. Before Capturing the Power Plants, start pumping out lots of Guardian GIs and get them to the Bridge. Produce a few more IFVs to the Grand Cannons too. Once the area is fully secured, Capture the last Power Plant. The Allies managed to travel back in time, but at a bad time; they're right in the midst of the Soviet invasion! Destroy the Apocalypse Tanks that are now destroying the Golden Gate Bridge (again) and use the Grand Cannons to sink the Dreadnoughts. A Kirov will appear from the northwest. Bring it down the the Guardian GIs, and take care of the Soviet Armour with the same Units. Once these goals are accomplished, Tanya will come out of the Time Machine. Ignore and avoid the Soviet Garrisoned Buildings. Move Tanya towards the Psychic Dominator. Sink the two Sea Scorpions and then dispatch Yuri's non- Psychic guards. Blow up the Barrel and detonate the Dominator. The Grand Cannon can also blow up the Nuclear Reactor, which will instantly destroy all of the guards and will heavily destroy the Dominator. ------------------------- 4.12 >Hollywood and Vain< ------------------------- Location: Los Angeles, California. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 10. Objectives: -Destroy all of the Grinders. -Destroy Yuri's Base. Notes: Battle Fortresses are introduced. Flint Westwood, Sammy Stallion, and Arnie Frankenfurter can also be used. Overview: Yuri has taken over Hollywood, and is producing Mind-Controlling Videos. He must not be allowed to make any more lame movies! Opinion: There are three celebrities that can pack a punch against Yuri's Forces. They can be a good combination with a Battle Fortress, and are also immune to Mind-Control. Build up the Base, and protect it with a Grand Cannon. Advance north to find Flint Westwood (Clint Eastwood). He's effective against Infantry, but is bad against anything else. Some Lasher Tanks will arrive from the west; dispatch them with the Guardian GIs. Make a Battle Fortress with a Westwood and four Guardian GIs inside. Use Rocketeers or Harriers to take out the eastern Grinder. To the northeast is a stadium with Sammy Stallion being held hostage. Rescue him with the Battle Fortress and some Prism Tanks. Sammy Stallion (Sylvester Stallone) is super effective versus Infantry and Structures, but is defenceless on Armour. Move west from the Base to find the LAX Centre. DO NOT DESTROY IT WITH PRISM TANKS! Instead, use Mirage Tanks or Sammy Stallion to clear out the Gattling Cannons to prevent any accidental blow-ups. Then Capture it with an Engineer. There is also a Machine Shop to the northeast. Capture and defend it. There's also some Oil Derricks on the shore. Move north and neutralize Yuri's outpost Base in the northwest corner. There's also a Hospital southeast of that area. The Grinder Base to the northwest of the base is Arnie Frankenfurter (Arnold Schwarzenegger). He'll decimate the entire Base once the area has been attacked. He's effective against everything! Fill up the Battle Fortress with the three Celebrities, as well as two Guardian GIs. The last Grinder is heavily defended with two Gattling Cannons. Assault it and destroy the Grinder. Now that all of the Grinders in the city are gone, build up some Prism Tanks and a Chronosphere. Use the Chronosphere to transport the Prism Tanks as well as the Battle Fortress inside the back of Yuri's Base! This will surely annihilate Yuri's Forces in this area! ----------------- 4.13 >Power Play< ----------------- Location: Seattle, Washington. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Liberate the Massivesoft (Microsoft) campus. -Destroy Yuri's Nuclear Missile Silo. Notes: Snipers are introduced. Overview: A man resembling Bill Gates is in need of Allied protection. He is being held hostage by Yuri's troops so that Yuri can use his new software to enhance his weapons. Yuri must not get his hands on that new software! Yuri has an operational Nuclear Missile in the area. Opinion: Snipers are key to preventing Yuri from Capturing the many Tech Power Plants in the city. Try to use the Weather Control Device whenever possible. The Weather Control will be ready at the start of the mission. Unfortunatley, it won't be able to destroy the Nuke, but it can easily neutralize one of Yuri's Power Plants. In the mid-south of the city is a neutral Power Plant. Capture it. Yuri will probably Nuke the War Factory, so Capture the neutral War Factory to the east. Try to use Snipers to clear out any Infantry guarding the Power Plants, then either Capture or destroy them! Priority one is shutting off Yuri's Power so he can't launch his Nuke! The Massivesoft Campus is also heavily guarded, but the forces there won't be any match for the Snipers and IFVs. Once this is done, Bill will release Crates full of cash! Secure every Power Plant with a Sniper or two. To the east, secure the Power Plants and the Bridge, then Capture any Power Plants. Use the Weather Control Device to soften the Defences protecting the Nuke, then destroy it when ready! ------------------ 4.14 >Tomb Raided< ------------------ Location: Sahara Desert, Egypt. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Rescue Einstein. -Destroy Yuri's Base. Notes: Tank Destroyers and Robot Tanks are introduced. Overview: Einstein has been kidnapped by Yuri and is forcing to enhance his Psychic Dominator in Egypt. He needs to be rescued immediatley. Opinion: Tank Destroyers are good support Units for SEALs and Tanya. Cash reserves are low, so the Oil Derrick field in the east will be vital. Deploy and build the Base. Build walls around the Base too; Engineers will come and attempt to Capture everything! Yuri will transport his forces by Transport across the Nile River, so secure the shores! Use the Nighthawk and Tanya to secure the Oil Derrick Base to the east, then transport the two Engineers to Capture the eastern Oil Derricks. Send in two Tank Destroyers as well. Build Defences around the Oil Derricks, as well as a Barracks. Now that both the main Base and Oil Derrick areas are secure, it's time to rescue Einstein. Move Tanya across the river, and destroy the outside Barrel. This will create a hole in the Walls. Kill any patrolling Initiates. The Psychic Towers won't affect Tanya, so ignore them. Instead, focus on detonating the Bio Reactors. Einstein says that his work wasn't that enthusiastic, and he managed to even sabotage the Dominator! Unfortunatley, it's now under Allied control, so there's only a few minutes to use it until it explodes. Use it on the group of Tanks in Yuri's Base. Then use them to destroy the Construction Yard, then the Barracks and War Factory. They'll probably be destroyed, but with care, they can manage to destroy the entire Base! Be sure to build a Power Plant near the Dominator so that the Allies will be able to secure the Resource Patches in the northern side of the river. Destroy the rest of the Defences for some experience points for some Units. If the Base still survives, build Prism Tanks and SEALs. Send them towards the Base when ready. Once every single enemy Unit has perished, the day is won. ------------------------ 4.15 >Clones Down Under< ------------------------ Location: Sydney, Australia. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 6. Objectives: -Destroy Yuri's Cloning Vats. -Destroy Yuri's remaining forces. Notes: Black Eagles are introduced. Overview: Yuri has a cloning facility in Australia, and is trying to make clones of world leaders that obey him. That facility needs to be leveled! Opinion: Despite the Boomers, don't build too much of a Navy. Their use will become more limited later on in the mission. Also, before destroying Yuri's Navy, be sure to Garrison lots of Buildings to prevent Yuri from doing the same later on. Build a Destroyer or two, and build some Aircraft Carriers. Garrison the large building and get a Prism Tower for the western entrance, as well as a few SEALs to take care of the Paratroopers. By now, Yuri has sent all of his Boomers, and they are now probably destroyed. The Koreans have given the blueprints for the Black Eagle Fighter. An armada of Black Eagles smashes the two Sub Pens. Yuri is now sending in his Initiates to garrison the entire city! Ignore them however, and try to flank Yuri's Base to the south. Use Prism Tanks as usual, and have a Battle Fortress with a SEAL and four Guardian GIs. Move to the southwestern corner, then towards Yuri's Base. Use Prism Tanks to destroy Yuri's Airport. The base is heavily defended, but the Prism Tanks will make quick work of them. Destroy the Cloning Vats, then all of Yuri's key Structures. He'll sell all of his Structures and send every one of his Units towards the Allied Base. SEALs will be able to slaughter all of the Initiates that attack, and the rest will be taken care of by the Prism Tanks. ---------------------- 4.16 >Trick or Treaty< ---------------------- Location: London, England. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 9. Objectives: -Defend the Parliament. -Destroy Yuri's Base. Notes: Soviet forces can be used. Overview: The outcome of the original war didn't change; the Soviets have surrendered. Unfortunatley, Yuri's still on the loose, so it will be imperative that he is stopped. Yuri uses his mind tricks on Eva and she reveals that the meeting will take place in London. Because of Yuri's dirty tricks, the Parliment must now be defended against assault. Opinion: This is another fun defence mission. Deploy the MCV and Garrison the GIs in the building west of the Big Ben Tower. Keep building Power Plants until the eastern Bridge can have buildings. Build a Wall to block off that route, and construct some Prism Towers and Pillboxes. Train a SEAL, a Mirage Tank, and some Rocketeers to defend the middle Bridge. In the city, there is a Hospital, Repair Shop, and three Oil Derricks. Capture the Oil Derricks. Build a Naval Yard, and buy some Destroyers, an Aegis Cruiser, and an Aircraft Carrier. Build some Patriot Missiles near the Parliment. By now, Yuri is starting to make his assault. Use Harriers to put on some early damage on his Armour, and just wait and let the Defences do the job. Keep Repairing any Structure if necessary. Yuri will also send in Masterminds and Floating Disks. The Aegis Cruiser will be able to take the Disks down quickly, and the Masterminds won't be any match for the Aircraft Carrier. Here's another tip from James "Fatbird" Lai: "I also garrisoned 5+ GIs in the buildings across the bridge. They managed to slow down Yuri's assault, buying precious time and destroying Yuri's Masterminds. For example. I garrisoned 10 GIs in one building and they destroyed a bunch of Gatling Tanks and Lasher Tanks before being forced to find a new building to occupy. From that new building, they will still harass Yuri's units that are passing by. Only the UFOs and some units managed to get through but then they are easily eliminated." After the attacks, Soviet forces will arrive. Their Navy will be important to sucess. More of the Map will be revealed, so Capture the Oil Derrick to the northwest and build an Ore Refinery there. Block off the Bridges with Walls and Prism Towers. When the Navy is ready, move them across the canals and destroy Yuri's Submarine Pen. With that threat done with, the Carriers and Dreadnoughts will be able to single-handedly destroy Yuri's Base. He'll soon send in a mass attack, and prepare for one more easy defence of the Parliament! Here's a strategy from Franco Abrina: "First I garrisoned the GIs in Big Ben and the building beside it (and the one near the bridge) and built a Chronosphere after awhile. After that I put up a bunch of Pillboxes and Prism Towers, I also placed 2 Attack Dogs at each bridge. I made 4 Engineers and a Nighthawk Transport, after that I used the chopper to capture the 3 Oil Derricks, the Hospital and the Machine Shop. Once I captured those buildings I built a Barracks, a bunch of Pillboxes, Patriot Missles, and Prism Towers beside the Machine Shop. I trained GIs in the newly made Barracks and garrisoned them in all nearby buildings (the ones near the Oil Derricks and the Machine Shop). When Yuri's forces arrived you will notice that most of his Armour and UFOs will be destroyed by the Defences at the Machine Shop and all his infantry coming from the hover transports and the bridges are killed by the Dogs. Now when you need to destroy his base, you should probably have the Chronosphere ready by now (BUT DONT USE IT), now I used the one Engineer that I didn't use and sent im to the Oil Derrick just at the upper left edge of the map and created a Refinery and a Barracks there. After all that, I garrisoned the building near the bridge on the edge of the map and deployed Guardian GIs (for some reason, the UFOs try to attack my Refinery up there). Now you're probably wondering why I made a strong defence at the edge of the map. Well, Yuri sends Lasher Tanks and Gattling Tanks over there AND Yuri has a limited ore patch (but he does have 2 damaged Derricks) so when he gathers all the ore he will attempt to mine on the upper left edge of the map that we blocked off, all you have to do now is use the Chronosphere and probably about 6 Robot Tanks and teleport them behind his base (use Dolphins to defend your base if any Boomer Subs attack) and aim for the Derricks and Con Yard, once the Con Yard is down, try to destroy a bit of his base and he will eventually sell all his buildings and send all his troops at you (which you can easily take out)." Here's yet another alternate strategy submitted by an anonymous contributor: "-Garrison the building west of Big Ben, capture the oil derricks and get to high tech ASAP -Build 5 mirage tanks to defend each bridge in an X formation. Use your grizzlies as backup for anything that gets past them. -Build 2 Aegis cruisers for UFOs and then spam prism tanks." ----------------- 4.17 >Brain Dead< ----------------- Location: Antarctica. Difficulty: Insane! Fun Factor: 9. Objectives: -Build a Radar Tower. -Destroy the Psychic Dominator. -Destroy Yuri's Forces. Notes: The Soviet arsenal can be used. Overview: Yuri's final hideout is located in Antarctica. The Allies will start building at the southernmost tip of South America. This is it! The whole world is watching, so don't fail! Opinion: This is the hardest mission in this game! Clever combinations of both Allied and Soviet technology will be needed to defeat Yuri's army! A group of Engineers will Paradrop into the abandoned Soviet Base. Capture the Construction Yard and Tesla Reactor to gain complete control over it. There's also an Oil Derrick and Repair Bay to the west. Build up the Base, but don't start building the Radar Tower until ready. Build two Battle Bunkers and fill them up with Conscripts. Get a few Tesla Coils ready as well, along with some Flak Cannons to fend off the Floating Disks. When ready, build the Radar Tower. Shortly after, the Allies will Chronoshift to Antarctica, but don't establish the Base here! Instead, move all of the forces to the south where there are Oil Derricks. This place will be much easier to defend, but is not very spacious. If space permits, get another MCV and Deploy that up north. Build a Grand Cannon and a Chronosphere ASAP. The main idea to defeat Yuri is to use IFVs filled with Crazy Ivans to blow up his Superweapons. Also, if his Genetic Mutator is active, keep one single Infantry Unit outside the Soviet Base so that he'll waste it. First, go for the Psychic Dominator. Six Ivan-filled IFVs will be able to destroy the Dominator forever when they're teleported via the Chronosphere. Do the same for the Genetic Mutator. The third priority targets are Yuri's Construction Yards. Either use the Nuclear Missile and Weather Control simultaneously to destroy them, or use the good old Ivan IFV teleportation! The Iron Curtain can also be used with the Chronosphere to get a teleportation AND invincibility, allowing an effective sneak attack! When the Superweapons are down, build some Prism/Apocalypse Tanks and lots of Navy SEALs. Once Yuri's key Structures are gone, he'll make a rush against the Allied Base! Defend it, and once every one of Yuri's Units on the Antarctic continent are gone, the Allies win! Here's an alternate strategy submitted by an anonymous contributor: "-Turtle until you have a base full of tesla reactors, a nice cash reserve and a few extra war factories to speed up production. -Build a radar and quickly climb the allied tech tree. -Build mirage tanks and hide them behind pillboxes to defend your allied base. -Build a chronosphere and shift 4+ prism tanks behind the psychic dominator. -You should comfortably avoid it activating. -Spam more prism tanks and shift them to the other side of the map, bypassing Yuri's Defences." Yuri is taken to a special prison where he won't be able to Mind-Control a fly! The two timelines merge together, and the President is glad to see General Carville alive again, as well as Lieutenant Eva dressed in formal clothes surprising Tanya. ============================= 4.20 >Soviet Second Campaign< ============================= This is the Second Soviet Campaign. Since the game does not continue from the first Soviet Campaign, Romanov is still alive, albeit in Prison. ----------------- 4.21 >Time Shift< ----------------- Location: San Fransisco, California. Difficulty: Easy. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Destroy the Allied Navy and their Grand Cannons. -Destroy the Defences around the Time Machine. -Capture enough Power Plants to power up the Machine. -Fend off the Dinosaurs. -Rendevous with the Soviet Base. -Destroy the Psychic Dominator. Notes: Boris is introduced. Overview: Romanov has learned that the Allies are going to use a Time Machine to stop Yuri. With it, an entire group of people can travel back in time. This device must be captured by Soviet forces and with it, not only can they stop Yuri themselves, they can alter the outcome of the previous war! Opinion: This first mission is a lot longer than the Allied counterpart, but the layout of the map will be similar. As the Allies are making a futile attack on the Psychic Dominator, the Soviet fleet arrives. Ignore the Gattling Cannons, and use the Dreadnought to bomb the Grand Cannons. Once they are done with, send the Squid to attack two of the Destroyers, and use the Typhoons and Sea Scorpions to deal with the rest of the fleet. Once the entire Allied Navy is sunk, the Soviet Navy will depart and the Transports will drop off a squad of Soviet troops at the nearest dock. Included in this group is Boris, a commando that can kill Infantry with one attack, as well as being able to laser-designate any Structure to send in an Air Strike. He's also able to attack Armour, but he's not very good at it. Send them down towards the Time Machine, Capturing the Hospital on the way. The Time Machine is located in the southeast corner, and is guarded by Pillboxes. Use Boris to take them out. Once every Defence is destroyed, the Soviets will gain control of the Time Machine. Capture the Repair Bay nearby. Engineers will Paradrop into the scene. Yuri will also send in forces to Capture the Power Plants so search for as many Power Plants throughout the city as possible before Yuri can get his hands on them. The Allied patrols will attack his forces, but there will be many squads of Guardian GIs protecting most of the Power Plants. Search, destroy, and Capture. Once there is sufficient Power, the Time Machine will activate. Unfortunatley, the Soviets have traveled back in time too far (WAAAAAAAY too far!). Looks like the Soviets managed to see some dinosaurs! Use Boris to kill any T-Rex that attacks the Time Machine. After a while, the Soviets go forward in time to the Soviet invasion. The Soviet Base in this area is located where the Allied Time Machine was in the Allied Campaign. Recapture the Repair Bay and get to the Base. There is a Construction Yard, so build some Battle Bunkers to fend off Yuri's forces. Since Boris can't swim, get the Transport to the Base and get Boris inside (might as well bring a few other Units as well). Move towards Alcatraz Island, and dispatch Yuri's guards. Then use Boris to call in an Airstrike on the Psychic Dominator to end the mission. -------------- 4.22 >Deja Vu< -------------- Location: Black Forest, Germany. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 9. Objectives: -Destroy the German Border camps. -Destroy Einstein's Labratory and Chronosphere. Notes: Terrain is exactly like the one in Mirage. Overview: The Soviets now know that the Chronosphere will be the Allies' key to defeating the Soviets. Knowing this, they will attack the Chronosphere, but with improved leadership! Opinion: The objectives and layout are exactly like in the Mirage mission, but takes place in Russian shoes. Another difference is that there's not three armies attacking Einstein's Base, but one with a supreme commander! Since the map is similar, this is just as fun as Mirage, but destroying Einstein's Lab is pretty depressing. Note that the Allies are capable of using Guardian GIs and Battle Fortresses. Rats! Use the V3s to take out the east and west Bases, and use the V3 to take out the Barrels in the central Base. Then Capture the Barracks. Get all Units to the central Base and start building. Make sure the entire Base is surrounded by Walls (but keep a little entry). The enemy will send in Spies, and squads of Infantry as well as their Mirage Tanks and Battle Fortresses. Go south to find the Ore Refinery, and Capture it. Secure it with Defences, since the Allies will attack here. Capture the Outpost too, and keep it safe with Flak Cannons and Tesla Coils. Secure all of the Bases with lots of Tesla Coils covering the entire area in case of a Chrono attack. Since there's resource Patches to the west and south of the Base, as well as the Captured Outpost areas, there's little worry for bankruptcy. Start pumping out Kirov Airships and Apocalypse Tanks (build the Industrial Plant first). When prepared, attack the main Allied Base. It's heavily defended, but the Defences will be taken care of by the V3s. When their base is destroyed, advance to Einstein's Base. He's also heavily defended by the Allies. Keep mass producing Armour and Infantry, and attack with many Kirovs. They'll be able to win the battle. ----------------- 4.23 >Brain Wash< ----------------- Location: London, England. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Destroy the Psychic Beacon. -Destroy the Psychic Dominator. Notes: Tesla Tanks are introduced. The Allied Arsenal can be used. Overview: Now that the Allies have surrendered and the Soviets have won the war, Romanov is ecstatic. Since he's so happy, he forgets to brief on the mission. There is a Psychic Dominator located in London. It needs to be dealt with. Opinion: This map calls for urban warfare. Also, Yuri's Psychic Dominator is active in this area, so be quick. Before going to the Allied Base, Garrison the Conscripts in the Buildings next to each of the Bridges. Then send Boris and all of the Armour (except for the Terror Drones) to the east. Capture the Ore Refinery, and then destroy the Grinder and its Defences with Boris. Capture the nearby Oil Derricks. The Allied Base is to the north. Use the Transport to get to the dock on the other side of the river. Move the squad away from the Allied Base and then use Boris to destroy the Psychic Beacon. Once this is done, the Allies will come under Soviet command. There are also some Oil Derricks north of this position. Tanya will also come in. Also, the Allied War Factory can produce Tesla Tanks, which will be Boris and Tanya's support Units. Send them northeast towards Yuri's installation. Use Boris to destroy the Gattling Cannons and then move into the Base. Destroy all of Yuri's Bio Reactors to shut down the Cannons guarding his Dominator. Then use either Boris or Tanya to destroy that Structure! Once it is destroyed, bring down any of Yuri's remaining Units and Structures. ------------------------- 4.24 >Romanov on the Run< ------------------------- Location: Casablanca, Morroco. Difficulty: Medium. Fun Factor: 7. Objectives: -Rescue Romanov. -Get Romanov to the Airport. -Romanov must survive. Notes: Demolition Trucks are introduced. Romanov can also be used. Overview: Romanov's plane has been shot down in Morroco. Yuri's forces are already advancing on his position. He needs to be rescued and evacuated. Opinion: Getting Romanov safe is a difficult process. The use of Attack Dogs and Terror Drones will be essential to dealing with the numerous Yuri Clones in this area. Yuri will also use Brutes, so use Terror Drones over Attack Dogs at most times. Set up the Base on the east side of the road. Then build Walls, Battle Bunkers, and Tesla Coils to secure this compound. Build up some Apocalypse Tanks along with Attack Dogs and Terror Drones. Yuri's Base up north is the immediate threat, so keep an eye out on that area. Romanov is in the Red House to the east. There are many Yuri Clones patrolling there, so send in Terror Drones to rip them apart. Get a Flak Track over there too. Once all the patrols are dead, Romanov will leave the building. Put him in the Flak Track and get him back to Base! LOTS of Yuri Clones will come pouring into the city and towards the Soviet Base. Liberating Romanov will also allow the construction of the Iron Curtain. Use it on Demo Trucks and then send them to the north Yuri Base to annihilate it. There are also Oil Derricks in that area. Beware of Yuri's Psychic Towers though, and don't even dream of getting near them! Fortunatley, there are none at this Base. Yuri will send waves of Units, but in the same pathways. Use Attack Dogs and Terror Drones to secure these areas, or use some Desolators and Deploy them to make that area Infantry-lethal. Use the Demo Trucks to clear out the city in front of the Bridge leading to the Airport. Use them also with the Iron Curtain to take out Yuri's Defences guarding the ramp (this is the only safe way to deal with his Psychic Towers). Then advance to his Base and wipe out every single Structure. Once done, get Romanov into a Flak Track and transport him to the Airport. ---------------------- 4.25 >Escape Velocity< ---------------------- Location: Easter Island. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 6. Objectives: -Establish a Base. -Destroy Yuri's Submarine Pen. Notes: Siege Choppers and Terrorists are introduced. Overview: Yuri's Submarine Pen in Easter Island is a definite threat to Naval forces. It needs to be sunk. Opinion: Here, the Navy is key to victory. Yuri will use Boomers, so use Squids to scout out any areas for them. Yuri also has Statues much like buffed up Prism Towers, so destroy them too. There are three possible landing sites, shown on the Radar. I often choose the nearest, since it's closest to the starting point. Advance towards the site, clearing any Boomers on the way. Set up Base here, and Capture the two Oil Derricks. Plant some Defences near them to secure the entry points. Build up some Siege Choppers and Kirovs. Yuri has a few modified Statues, so use Kirovs to blow them up. Yuri also has a Base on the hill, so use Demo Trucks or anything else explosive to blow up his Structures. Build up lots of Typhoons, Squids, and Dreadnoughts. Yuri's Submarine Pen is located in the middle of the Island, which can only be accessed by a lone canal. Move the Navy to the eastern side of the island, and then secure the southern landing point (build an MCV there and build an Ore Refinery for more resources). Build a Naval Yard there. Keep building more Naval Units and then proceed west, then north to the canal. There's a Statue there, so use the Dreadnoughts to smack it down. To the docks, there are Gattling Cannons and many Boomers present. Use the Dreadnoughts to annihilate every single Cannon, and then finish off the Pen. Here's an alternate strategy submitted by an anonymous contributor: "-Setup your base in the northwest landing point - this has gems and is closest to the submarine pen. -Capture the oil derrick and build two battle bunkers + any other Defences you want around it. -Build a baracks on the cliff and keep building baracks and bunkers until you snake your way to the other side. -Line the edge facing the inside with bunkers - this will speed up your victory. -Build 3+ kirovs and line them up with Yuri's submarine pen. -Once you destroy it, every Yuri unit will attack you. -Move your fleet far from land and the boomers will never attack your base." This installation happens to be a space launch site! ------------------ 4.26 >To the Moon< ------------------ Location: The Moon. Difficulty: Hard. Fun Factor: 8. Objectives: -Destroy Yuri's Command Centre. -Destroy Yuri's forces. Notes: Cosmonauts can be used. Overview: Since Yuri has landed on the moon, the Soviets must pursue and stop him at this location. Opinion: Since this is the Moon, the only types of Infantry available are Cosmonauts and Desolators (and Desolators are useless in this kind of battle). There are also no Resource Patches here, so use the money provided wisely! The best surface for Construction is to the east. Pump out Cosmonauts, Flak Tracks, and Apocalypse Tanks. Build some Defences around the Base too. Yuri will also use Cosmonauts, as well as Magnetrons and Masterminds, two deadly Units. Use Cosmonauts to take out the Psychic Towers guarding the Base to the northwest. Use the Tanks to destroy the Gattling Cannons and then destroy the rest of the Base to get a Crate full of Money. The second Base is to the further north and east. Do the same. The Cosmonauts are excellent fighters, but they are vulnerable to Anti-Air weapons. Yuri's Headquarters is at the very northeast corner, but his base spans across the northern edge of the Map. Likewise, try to build as many Apocalypse Tanks and Cosmonauts as possible. Then use them together to overcome Yuri's Defences and then annihilate his entire Base! ----------------- 4.27 >Head Games< ----------------- Location: Transylvania. Difficulty: Insane! Fun Factor: 10. Objectives: -Destroy Yuri's Fortress. Notes: The Allied Arsenal can be used. Overview: Yuri has fallen back to his ancestral home in Transylvania. He has taken control of both a Soviet Army and an Allied Army with two seperate Psychic Beacons. His Fortress is heavily defended and has lots of Armour, so it will take some superior decisiveness to defeat him once and for all! Opinion: Since Yuri has every single Tech Tree under his control, he'll be able to combine these technologies. The Psychic Beacons MUST be destroyed to allow control over the two armies once again. Set up shop here. In the southeastern corner is some Demo Trucks and Terrorists. When they are found, more Demo Trucks and Terrorists can be produced. There's also a Grinder north of that position, as well as a Secret Lab. Destroy the Grinder and take the Crate. With the Secret Lab Captured, build a Grand Cannon as well as many Tesla Coils. There's also a Grinder to the west. The Soviet Base is located to the northeast and the Allied Base is at the northwest. They'll be able to flank our heroes and attack with little mercy! To deal with the flanking Bases, use a Nuke on the Soviet Base's Beacon. That Soviet Base will now fall under righteous control. No new technologies are acquired, but at least now the eastern entrance to Yuri's Base will be secure. Build a Grand Cannon to be able to rattle the cage of the eastern side of Yuri's Base (getting some Siege Choppers there wouldn't hurt either). Use another Nuclear Missile to take out the Beacon in the Allied Base. The Grand Cannons will hopefully be able to destroy both the Psychic Dominator and Genetic Mutator in Yuri's Main Base. Now that both the Allied and Soviet Bases surrounding Yuri's are now friendly, Yuri can only send his forces through the centre passage to attack the first Base. Build up everything, and use Superweapons, Kirovs, and anything else to smash his Base (don't get too close to his Psychic Towers though). Yuri's Fortress is so tough that it can take a blast from the Nuke without much scratches! To destroy his Fortress, remove every single one of his Structures near it and then use a Navy SEAL to blow it up. Here's an alternate strategy submitted by an anonymous contributor: "-You only need to take the Allied base and spam Prism Tanks to win this. -Alternatively, take the Soviet base and spam Kirovs. -If you really want to take both bases, Nuke the Allied Beacon and deploy some Seige Choppers to take out the Soviet Beacon." Yuri attempts to use the Time Machine to save himself, but fortunatley, Zofia has charged up the Time Machine too much so that Yuri would be stuck in the Jurrassic Era forever (and devoured by a carnivorious dino). The Soviets are in total power of the world now... ----------------- 5.0 >Multiplayer< ----------------- Multiplayer is a mode where random people can play in random maps with random teams! Things can get really frantic and fun! Some maps are even based on Single Player missions! -------------- 5.1 >Skirmish< -------------- Ordinary practice for non-ordinary multiplayer matches. All Nations can be used, each of them having their own unique Unit/Structure/Ability. Yuri's Revenge Features the new Yuri Army, and the ability to select starting locations and starting teams. Here are the options: -Short Game: If all of the Structures owned by a Player are destroyed (not counting Tech Structures), then that Player is defeated. -MCV Repacks: The ability to redeploy an MCV and put it somewhere else. To redeploy an MCV, select a Construction Yard, and Deploy it to turn it back into an MCV. -Build at Ally Construction Yards: Allows players to build near their partnerss Structures. -Crates: Allows the random appearances of Crates on the battlefield. -Superweapons: Allows Superweapons to be built. -Shroud regrows: Allows the Fog of War. Here are the game modes: -Battle: A standard battle where Teams can be made. -Free for All: A battle without Teams and every player battling for nobody but themselves. -Team Battle: A battle with Teams that play on maps designed for Teams. ---------- 5.2 >Maps< ---------- There are many default Maps that can be used. However, more maps can be created randomly with the Mapmaker provided in the game. The Maps created can also be saved for later use. Tech Structures also appear in these Maps. The characteristics are: -Resource amount. -Size. -Player capacity. -Map design. -Time. -Climate. The Map designs are: -Continent. -Team Continents. The Times are: -Morning. -Afternoon. -Dusk. -Night. The Climates are: -Temperate. -Polar. There's also an option called "Surprise Me". This randomizes all of the characteristics of the Map that will be created. Maps can also be created with a tool that I have yet to find out about.
