lol there is actually a tactical reason for that. If other players see a civilian in your base they know that you have build a service depot and are going for multi mcv. They are more likely to attack you.
@@ZacktheReaper Oh yeah, I get why you did it, I just thought it was funny how nonchalantly you mentioned that you were just gonna blast that civilian lol. It's a smart move that most folks wouldn't think of at that stage of the game
Once you were able to get your multi contrcution yards down, the creation of ore refinery / power plant gave you the funds to go with the speed for unstoppable tesla/flame turrets. Great troll game
Why don't you make groups by using the "ctrl+ number" - this is very helpful when using Migs - you make, for example, 4 groups of 4 migs each and then attack 4 different targets simultaneously - therefore oversaturating any potential air defense. Also when you put your troops somewhere as a defense post use command "G" as a guard - and then the troops are more aggressive - they return fire when under attack instead just standing around waiting for death pretending nothing is happening. Both tips worked when I played RA back on my Windows 98 computer ;) I don't know if those commands still work in the remasted version of the game. I am a big fan of yours :) I watch the videos with a smile :) Ps. Please don't kill the civilians... it brings very bad associations. (I know that they are just pixels but still)
I probably would group them now. This game was from quite q while a go since I did loads of troll games together. I would group migs into group of 7 though as that is needed to take out a war factory of ore refinery.
why don't you group your migs using ctrl +1 and ctrs+2. you just have to press 1 or 2 (or any number you asign them through ctrl) and they will select and makes it much easier to attack more often with them while attacking a base for instance.
at first i thought ''this guy dont know what he's doing'', until you started popping out tesla's, i was like ''ok he's pro''. you had like 75% of the map lmao
@@ZacktheReaper when i used to play as a kid, i went to my mates house after school, his strat was build 10+ war factories, pump out an insane amount of tanks and raid early. we played online on AOL, lol. so when I watched this i got anxiety thinking you might get raided with no tanks to defend, but your teslas defence worked wonders. i will check out some over of your videos, your commentery was captivating and you seem to know what you're doing. loved this game
@@ZacktheReaper by the way dude, did you know about the grouping shortcut keys? you can select half your tanks and press CTRL+1, and then select the other half and press CTRL+2, then you can instantly select the group by pressing 1 and 2, that way you can spread the attack on enemies, because if you shoot 20 times at a single tank, you might be wasting bullets, so if you split them over 2 or more enemies at a time you making use of the shots fired. I mean if you were gonna go full on you could find out how many hits to destory a medium tank, and then group that number of tanks per group, so you know you will one shot them with that group. I also like to use groups for tanyas, having multiple groups for each tanya makes you blow the structures up super efficiently.
This was porn to watch, such fun to watch that. But just a quick one to save you time with the migs it would be best to order your migs in teams before airstriking. It would of saved you a heap of time rather then strolling back to your base to pick them up.
Is it true that if you build a building and cancel it without deploying it, you do not require an ore silo? You just got to keep canceling buildings. I believe one can look at the ore stash by clicking on the refinery and seeing if the bars have decreased.
I got a couple questions… How do you place buildings without clicking in the build menu? And what gpu, cpu and ram you using? I need to upgrade my laptop and not sure which direction to go in. I’ve got an i5 cpu and only 8gb ram, can’t remember the gpu as it’s an integrated thing. I used to know my way around pc’s very well 20 odd years ago. But since I’ve have my iPhone and iPad (since day one) and consoles, I just stopped with desktops and now I clueless lol
I bought my PC in 2019 (Desktop) The processor is AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor, 4000MHz Ram is 16GB Graphics Card is GEFORCE GTX 1060 I have only very basic knowledge when it comes to hardware.
Unfortunately it would not work. For the troll tactics I need the superior build speed from multiple mcv's. For shock troopers aftermath units needs to be switched on which means there is no build speed bonus after two structure so it would be too slow.
I have very much gone down the rabbit hole of nostalgia watching your videos, appreciate the content and love the tactics
Welcome to the club!
Me too 😂
Thanks:)
Zack out here starting his game off with a war crime 🤣

:)

Yeah that's the key often been able to survive the first part of the game and get multi mcv.
Zack, please reconsider the random placement of your airfields. It drives me nuts :) So much space and time, please align them
Good thing I rarely build migs:)
I don't think aligning them is necessary, it all takes time. I think putting them in teams before using would of saved him time.
That Tanya synchronisation at 5:35...!
Next troll game: You can only build attack dogs 🤣🤣
lol
Land sea and air. Dogs subs and yaks
Dang must feel incredibly demoralizing being on the other end of your troll matches.. great for the peanut gallery tho!!
They are fun to play for the person trolling. To be honest I don't think the other players know they are been trolled most of the time.

Yes those commands still work in the remastered version 👍👍

lol, how did Green not noticed the entire base being decimated?
I know a very delayed response.

One cyan Flame Tower killed like 15-20 Tanyas :D
I know I was expecting to take it out a lot quicker than I did. In hindsight I should have stopped building them.

Is it true that if you build a building and cancel it without deploying it, you do not require an ore silo? You just got to keep canceling buildings. I believe one can look at the ore stash by clicking on the refinery and seeing if the bars have decreased.
I think so possibly. I know i have build up ore resources when selling structures at the end of a game before.
I got a couple questions…
How do you place buildings without clicking in the build menu?

I need to upgrade my laptop and not sure which direction to go in. I’ve got an i5 cpu and only 8gb ram, can’t remember the gpu as it’s an integrated thing.

The remastered version has hot keys to build and place buildings.

That was a massacre, Zack lol
:)
Enjoyed a lot
Glad you liked it.
almost feels like everybody went afk this game.
Right? What were red and cyan actually doing? They weren't building anything or moving their armies.
Or like playing to an AI opponent after the first strike
Yeah sometimes you get players like that. I have seen a lot worse though. At least cyan was expanding their base.
VS CYIAN YOU BLED 10K PLUS ON TANYAS DYING TO NOTHING. YOU FORGOT ABOUT THEM ESSENTIALLY
Yeah i was expecting to take out the flame tower much earlier than I did. In hindsight i should have stopped building the Tanya's.
What's a troll game???
Where you try to win using silly or unconventional ways, as in this game where he had to win without being able to use Tanks.
@@CraigNiel fair enough. Was a good game anyway!
