Those were some overpowered prism towers, why aren't Soviets building the poo poo out of them?

Agreed about soviet faction aesthetics being the best, shame about the balancing. (I actually don't remember anything about RA2 balance)

I am a bit behind, but what is the policy on referring to changes in gameplay mechanics of later games?

And I imagine flak troopers in buildings might pose challenge to air, but a ground army can either bypass them, or outrange them with artillery.


My guess on why they aren't garrisonable is that the engine wasn't ready for it.

Never build the psychic sensor Zofia mentions on this particular mission. You will regret it. :v:

Is it a trap, or will there just be an infinite spam of warnings? The cutscene that told us about it seemed super suspicious :v:

I think that if you play your cards right, the starting two Kirovs can take out the power to Yuri's base, after which it gets much easier :v:

So I guess I'm the only one who really doesn't like Kirovs? The blimp design is cool but it's just soo...sloooow... If it had some range, say, as an airborne artillery platform, it would be so much more useful. And cooler.

Their design is great. Gameplay is not, but hey, RA is all about that tank spam anyway.

Is there anything that wouldn't be?

Also it removes the Apocalypse Tank from the Soviet arsenal for not being serious enough.

Being an unfun boring person, I have to admit I'd prefer if the mods were just a brief visit rather than a full playthrough, as I'm far more interested in the official games.

I am interested in the mods, but I am also very interested in mechanics discussion of how the series evolves later. The spoiler policy is killing me :v:

Did we really save the world, or let Yuri conquer it with a massive dinosaur empire? :ohdear:

Came in to post exactly that after seeing the ending :v:

I like the gameplay concepts in the next one the most in the series. The campaigns are meh, but I will leave elaborating to when we get there.
