Well for either one but especially the B variant, keeping that Transport Chopper alive is key. If you play the B version, aka the one where your damaged base starts in the upper right, you can sneak a force of engies to the north west of the GDI base where all their silos are. Cap those for tons of extra credits but watch out for the Adv. Guard Tower, it can't hit the far western part of the silos so that is a safe place to build a Hand of Nod after selling a silo or two. Use Rocket Infantry to break down the wall along the west of the base and don't attack any buildings, the AI usually doesn't pay them any mind but might want to quick save before hand. Once the wall is clear all the way to the Con. Yard sneak an engi down to it and cap and sell it. From there you can use engies to take over the Power Plants and after a few are down the Adv. Guard Tower turns off and you have free reign to cap/destroy the War Factory and Barracks. Attacking the Harvester to draw out any defenders helps if the AI is keeping a guard in their base. Also luring out the OCRAs and sniping em with Rocket Infantry before capping the Silos helps make sure nothing will really mess with your capture operations. This is what I used to eventually win that map. The A version is a bit rougher, but if you lure out and kill the OCRAs you can land by their Helipads after scouting out the area to their south and use some Rocket Infantry to free a fenced in crate. Its then a quick jog over to the War Factory and Barracks followed by Silos and Con. Yard. Once again attacking the Harvester will clear out the base if you need to. As for surviving early on either one, honestly I just got fed up and sandbag tricked the ai and blocked up the various ways into my base. Hope this helps, this mission was a major wall back in the day for me for quite a while, and it was only once I learned to keep that fragile Transport Chopper alive that I was able to get past it.

There's an annoying thing in the TD remaster where if a lot of vehicles are trying to get through a choke point created by neutral buildings, they'll attack those buildings, even if they are something like a flame tank that will do splash damage to your own units.

I finally got off my rear end and finished the Soviet campaign. Did they change the final map? I could have sworn there was a whole lot of mines around the starting area - to the point where they frequently blocked base construction.

The mines are still there but with the V2s and general pandemonium in the opening sequence I'm sure a lot of them can be detonated without noticing. It's fun though, only vanilla RA mission I had to retry multiple times to complete.

I have been messing around with mods now that I have beaten both TD and RA but the best mod by far is everyone shooting obelisk lasers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxfffTQwUKM This does break the game. Might be fun for a mission or two for the ones you hate. Any goons play this online?

I do like the bonus mission (in the n64 section i think) where your orcas shoot obelisk beams. Also the RA1 mission with the experimental nuke-equipped mig you can capture.

The sega saturn I remembered having a cheat where your orcas can shoot lasers and it was awesome. I kinda felt bad that was how I got introduced to command and conquer. I rented that game from blockbuster and didn't know you could play as nod until like a couple years later when I finally got the game for christmas. You could imagine my face being able to play as nod back then. I was like "Oh so thats why when you load the game it says 'GDI disc detected, to play the Brotherhood of Nod missions; please insert the Nod disc".

Oh, right. I've never actually finished Legacy of Tesla before. How are you supposed to deal with 2 nukes per minute? Just try to win the map before they start sending the plane at you?

Nostalgamus posted:Oh, right. I've never actually finished Legacy of Tesla before. So if you go to the left of the map there is a small Allied base next to the coast. If you can capture that you can capture their Naval Yard and you have access to the water. I found if you built a sub pen or another Naval yard just south of the Naval Yard that was there, you would have structures that were far enough away from your new base that if they were nuked wouldn't hit the rest of your base. Now the Nuke is only enough to damage but not destroy a Naval Base/Sub Pen. So as long as you kept repairing it they would just keep attacking that structure over and over again.

Do NOT attack or capture the Naval Yard under any circumstances while the enemy MiG exists else you'll activate it and have 30 minutes of misery in your hands. Leaving the Naval Yard alone (for now) ensures that the MiG will stay put until you invade the island housing it. By all means destroy/capture everything else in the small West base first then clear the waters with some Submarines and concentrate on pushing toward the South base for more resources. Capturing the Airfield is recommended, but also a bit of a bastard, since the MiG can and will bomb anything right next to it without a care in the world (which is an outcome I've received more than once -- it nukes my tanks and the Airfield disintegrates in the process, then the MiG fucks off outside the map for good leaving me with a stack of useless Engineers). I don't know if advancing too far South does anything to activate the endless nuclear strikes, because all this stuff is something I (somehow) worked out back when I was 11 or 12 and had all the patience in the world. I've never looked at this map in RAED or any other map editor so I might be missing a few things, but generally speaking the Naval Yard is a no-go; just leave it alone until the MiG is yours/doesn't exist

I just activated it and let it focus on that Naval Yard, while I rolled all the Tesla Tanks/Heavy Tanks south into the Allied main base. But your millage may vary. I also came across a Mod (called Aircraft Super Power or something) that had a aircraft called the Valkyrie which was the Mig, but dropped Nukes.

It seemed to nuke the Construction Yard the instant I captured it, but I had attacked the Naval Yard at that point as well. I didn't capture the MiG, but oh well. Thanks for the help.

News from EA: A new update will be out next week that adds beacon pinging and loading screen info to multiplayer. It will likely be the last patch for C&C Remastered. Also, the source code for the map editor has been released to help modders take things even further. Incidentally, next week will be the 25th anniversary of Tiberian Dawn, with celebrations of some kind planned. Not sure I'd expect a new game or remaster announcement with how much the world has slowed down, but C&C Remastered was announced basically the moment it was greenlit, so who knows?

All in all I was pretty happy with the release. I beat TD and currently working on RA and all I can say is that I'm glad modding support was added so I could download some quality of life changes (like attack-moving). I also enjoyed watching the youtube videos that delved into the source code and talked about how the A.I. worked. I'm really hoping TS and RA2 are next and get the same level of treatment.

So this guy's making a mod that replaces all the unit graphics with new ones based on the cutscenes and cameos. The end result is a slightly more realistic design, but I think it still works. (Mod unit on the right.)

A new version of Shattered Paradise has been released.  A Tiberian Sun-based mod, it also makes the Forgotten, Cabal, and Scrin into playable factions. It currently features skirmish and multiplayer modes, but a campaign is in the works. The game runs on the OpenRA engine, so there's no need to own any other C&C to run it, you can just download the installer.
