1 Minelayer vs 499 demo trucks. Who wins? Epilepsy. Epilepsy wins. Edit: it would also be nice to see what the units have for their target priorities. In the free units round (Rocket soldiers, rangers, flamethrowers, tanks), all units seemed to go for the rangers first, before it turned around and they all went for the tanks. Maybe it depends on which side has the defensive structures most intact?
I had my money on rockets but wanted light tanks to win. I was certain rangers and flamers would go down! They do have some weird attacking habits though.
I suspected Light Tanks; though had the A.I. run through the enemy units and targetted their opponents' buildings in waves, they'd have won by default.
@@StuGames In the beginning I thought the shock troopers will obliterate the ants but I didn't know the red ones have good armour so I lost that one and the last one betting on the rocket soldiers. I thought the flamethrowers will self-destruct their base.
That last FFA's result was unexpected. I was expecting the flamethrowers to team kill themselves. The FFA AI behaviour is also weird in that they take turns ganging up 3 vs 1 rather than a true FFA.
The way they work is that if someone attacks one of their buildings, they go defend it and then retaliate against the attacker! In the beginning one of the rangers shoots at a green factory, making the light tanks retaliate.
@@cydonianmystery5193 I actually really liked the "tactic changes" in that match. Ironically i tipped flame thrower at the beginning and laught at them losing 2 barracs to them self. I also liked the final idea: hmm, those rockets are rather harmless, just ignore them. (And kill them with our death)
Red Alert 2 had that instance of all the AI ganging up on you with default settings, and it was only in Yuri's Revenge where you could actually set up pre-determined teams! Even then, the enemy always attacks your base and never your AI allies.
Its interesting how the flamethrower teams biggest weakness seemed to be that with more than 4 barracks, they would hit a "critical mass" point and make a large explosion. At 4, they were coming out slowly enough that the death of one didn't blow up half the map.
4:14 - the fact that the Minelayer has survived with just a red sliver of health left only makes it even more amazing. 10:28 - I asked for one of these in a previous video so thank you for including a kill counter, it's amazing to see how big these battles get!
Driver : Guys, i dun think we can win this one, how about we go hide in the mountains till the war ends, no one will be alive to report we deserted our battalion... Infantryman 1-4: ok Driver: Alright, no going back now- oh, we actually won ?
Perhaps the funniest thing is that in the last battle, every so often you're met with a loud *HEY!* whenever another cluster of flamethrowers blow up. It's like sweet music, a hip-hop track of fiery self-ownage.
Hehe don't play with fire, as it says. Sure that the flamethrowers are playing with fire alltime and they also burn down many teammates but they were the fire units,, and they won.
It's so tremendously funny that red AI lost so many buildings even if not a single enemy projectile was fired at them. Bigger thread than a explosion truck those flamethrower troopers
Nice. I had a feeling the Flamerthrowers would pull it off somehow, despite being left completely open multiple time when they all exploded . They were lucky Yellow and Green were to focused on each other. Because the vehicles had no chance of beating the Rocket Soldiers.The Flamerthrowers were the only ones who could beat the Rocket Soldiers. They just had to avoid destroying themselves until then.
I was rooting for the flamethrowers, I knew the rangers would be screwed and light tanks don't deal enough damage to infantry. R.I.P to all the flamethrower dudes lost in this video
I had the same prediction like you. The light tanks werent strong enough against those infantries. And the best case scenario for the rangers could not have been better than 2nd.
That last battle was epic, I thought the light tanks would crush it then I thought yellow would be out first. Those flamethrower chain reactions were hilarious, setting fire to the forests and blowing up their own structures.
Great video, surprised by the last one, and also that the v2's managed to beat the chrono tanks eventually! Thanks again for making these, they are a highlight of my YT alerts. Enjoy the coffee!
Round 1: Grenadiers (predicted correctly, they’re standing apart) Round 2: Ants (predicted correctly, knew the Warrior Ants are tough and can take more punishment) Round 3: Tesla Tanks and Dogs (wrong prediction, forgot the Tesla Tank have light armor property) Round 4: Minelayer (predicted correctly, with such a deliberate setup, hard not to see where this was going lol) Round 5: Soviets (predicted correctly, Allied armor is just inferior and Chrono Tank is overrated, expensive yet mediocre damage and armor) Round 6: rocket soldiers (predicted correctly, the AI for helicopters are shit and have 5 ammo limit before reloading, in the few seconds the Hind pivots and take aim, the rocket soldier has already let off a couple of early shots) Round 7: wasn’t sure but was betting Flame Throwers gonna be the biggest loser (wrong prediction, a surprise to be sure... I always believe they’re a bigger danger to themselves than to their enemies)
I had been right with rounds 1 and 2, 3rd caught me off 4th through 6th I correctly guessed. I had thought it would be the Light Tanks or the Rangers winning but I was wrong.
3:42 EPILEPSY WARNING! Damn, what a blast! I like how one nuclear truck sets of a chain reaction, just like A-bombs themselves do. Alas the mine layer will likely die briefly from radiation poisoning, but atleast this happened far away from major settlements.
Better rules would be: "The first rule about fight club is you will talk about fight club.” “The second rule about fight club is you will talk about fight club.”
Every time on the cross map, the units on the bottom spot always just charge straight across the field to the farthest enemy. They ignore the units closest.
That FFA was hilarious, who would've thought that red would end up winning after being the first to lose buildings. Btw, I wonder how the grenadier X rifleman would end if the grenadiers were the attackers.

@@trueblue5567 Journey - Frank Klepacki
Cheers mate, loving the videos!
1 Minelayer vs 499 demo trucks. Who wins?
Epilepsy. Epilepsy wins.

Do everything's free 4 or 3 or 2 against each other on different maps please bro! Its always interesting to watch. Thanks :)
That flame army losing 85% of it's units every 10 seconds is hilarious.
I know right? I still almost can't believe the outcome of that match lol
@@akikoyoshizawa8445 red was just denying them exp and gold obviously
They really need to make flamethrowers more user friendly.
Glorious Red Army doctrine at its best
Ah flamers, you are teh suck.
Did not expect that last result lol, was totally thinking Rockets or Light Tanks were gonna win it!
I had my money on rockets but wanted light tanks to win. I was certain rangers and flamers would go down!
They do have some weird attacking habits though.
sorry for ruining everyone's prediction score with that last fight 😉
I suspected Light Tanks; though had the A.I. run through the enemy units and targetted their opponents' buildings in waves, they'd have won by default.
Same. I thought the flames were going to burn themselves out with their own aoe
@@StuGames In the beginning I thought the shock troopers will obliterate the ants but I didn't know the red ones have good armour so I lost that one and the last one betting on the rocket soldiers. I thought the flamethrowers will self-destruct their base.
That last match had me in stitches:
95% casualty rating = flawless victory.
Just the way Stalin likes it.
Just act dumb and everyone wouldn't target you.
Smart move by Flamethrower.
Average Warhammer guardsman battle be like:

I don't get why the rockets ignored the flamers at the end - they threw the match away!
@@flipdart The AI seemed hellbent on attacking buildings instead of defending themsleves, it's really weird

I like how the AI, when given unlimited resources, just resorts to pulling strategies out of Zap Brannigans Big Book of War.
Hilarious comment! XD
I have no idea what that book is but now i want to read it lol.
The AI may be dumb as a brick, but it's a brick that just keeps throwing itself at you until you or it breaks
4:14 - the fact that the Minelayer has survived with just a red sliver of health left only makes it even more amazing.
10:28 - I asked for one of these in a previous video so thank you for including a kill counter, it's amazing to see how big these battles get!
(Spoiler) I love how in the last one the flamethrowers only got stronger the less there were XD
That's my Sovietzki brothers lol
The only unit where critical mass is a bad thing lol
Their population needs to be culled.
They burned down less teammates(but the same amount of enemies) when they became less lol. Which in the end became an advantage.
Flamethrowers: Are we going to make it? Flamethrowers, I mean.
T-800: It is in your nature to destroy yourselves.
Ace comment 👌
He'll be back😉
Hilarious comment!
2:53 where's that APC going?! damn deserter!
he just didnt want to shoot those dogs
Driver : Guys, i dun think we can win this one, how about we go hide in the mountains till the war ends, no one will be alive to report we deserted our battalion...
Infantryman 1-4: ok
Driver: Alright, no going back now- oh, we actually won ?
They must have left the game because they aren't counted as alive at the end
@@BayWa4eva deserters are COWARDS, they deserve no no part in the victory
APC Be like"Bye have a great time!"
Fun vid! LOVED the nuke explosions, and was really rooting for those shock troopers!
Perhaps the funniest thing is that in the last battle, every so often you're met with a loud *HEY!* whenever another cluster of flamethrowers blow up. It's like sweet music, a hip-hop track of fiery self-ownage.
It doesn't matter how many times I see 50 flamethrowers die in a chain reaction, I can't stop choosing them to win.
Flamethrowers expectation of life.. 10 secs.. take that Reign of Fire’ Archangels! 🤣🤣🤣
8:02
Flamethrower Sergeant: Charge comrades! They can't stop al...
Burst of machinegun fire stops all of them.
The flamers at the end constantly grilling themselves had me laughing hard.
Just as much as the "Minelayer vs 499 Nuke Trucks".
Dark comedy gold! XD
3:45 ... 15 Seconds of total blindness!!
A Thousand Suns!
@@engitect Congratulations! You found the new Title for the next C&C
Epilepsy warning!!!!! Lol
A seizure warning would be good for so many nuke explosions like those trucks.
Also one that reads "Warning, blindness from atomic flashes might occur". XD
But jokes aside, that could cause seizures.
Stu, I said I'm mind blown by the Demo Truck's explosion animation but sure as hell I did not ask for an epileptic fittttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!
"Should we use our teleportation to go past the heavy tanks and attack the rocket launchers from behind?"
"Not unless the player micros harder."
Red, the Underdog nobody cared about the whole fight, wins. Rofl!
Every 10 seconds red just cleaned up their entire army themselves. Really seemed like they didn't stand a chance.
Hehe don't play with fire, as it says. Sure that the flamethrowers are playing with fire alltime and they also burn down many teammates but they were the fire units,, and they won.
The first round: what if grenadiers were the attacking side?
Btw great idea with score screen after free for all segment
The grenadiers would clump up and kill each other with their death explosions, making them lose pretty badly!
It's so tremendously funny that red AI lost so many buildings even if not a single enemy projectile was fired at them. Bigger thread than a explosion truck those flamethrower troopers
Anyone else find the Demolition trucks explosion very cathartic?
It just needed some other units mixed in to sweeten things.

1:23 PeTA : * screaming
2:53 PeTA : *Also screaming
3:43 PeTa and everyone : *Eye injured
PETA slaughter more healthy animals than anything they ever protest!
Wow that FFA was a shocker!
Love this series, Stu! Your videos are treasures of nostalgia, great editing, and BAMF Klepacki music.
That demo truck fight was pretty unbalanced. I'm sure a 500th truck would have swung it.
Or a 5,000th perhaps :3
Graphics Card: *Initiate Self-Destruct*
XD
Thank you for putting the death toll at the end.
"Flame throwers win"
Sort of :D
"Look at all the kills they had!"
...yea, about that....
Hehe yes there was many variables and possible outcomes to analyze in that finalfight.
This one APC at 2:52 is just "nah fuck it, I´m going home" xD
The sheer indescirbable joy and satisfaction of the minelayer vs nuke trucks....followed by epeleptic seizure xD

Thanks! 🥰
Is it just me or did it look like all 3 sides in the FFA ganged up on the Light Tanks? That seemed like weird behavior.
That one APC at 2:53 be like "aw hell no"
Ahahaha, I hadn't even noticed that until you pointed it out, amazing!
"I'm not going to shoot a dog!"
Who would win? 499 big explodey bois or one tiny explodey boi?
Noticed it too and was wondering what's with that driver.
Crickey, I hope that minesweeper had radiation filters fitted
wow the minelayer versus the demo truck, that should have come with a nuclear seizure warning lol
Round 1: Grenadiers (predicted correctly, they’re standing apart)
Round 2: Ants (predicted correctly, knew the Warrior Ants are tough and can take more punishment)
Round 3: Tesla Tanks and Dogs (wrong prediction, forgot the Tesla Tank have light armor property)
Round 4: Minelayer (predicted correctly, with such a deliberate setup, hard not to see where this was going lol)
Round 5: Soviets (predicted correctly, Allied armor is just inferior and Chrono Tank is overrated, expensive yet mediocre damage and armor)
Round 6: rocket soldiers (predicted correctly, the AI for helicopters are shit and have 5 ammo limit before reloading, in the few seconds the Hind pivots and take aim, the rocket soldier has already let off a couple of early shots)
Round 7: wasn’t sure but was betting Flame Throwers gonna be the biggest loser (wrong prediction, a surprise to be sure... I always believe they’re a bigger danger to themselves than to their enemies)
I had been right with rounds 1 and 2, 3rd caught me off 4th through 6th I correctly guessed. I had thought it would be the Light Tanks or the Rangers winning but I was wrong.
@2:48 - That one top-left APC after taking a single lightning shot:
"Screw you guys, I'ma comin home ;^p"
I never thought the video can be this bright
That epic screen shake after the demo trucks blew up!
3:43 - blue window "dumping physical memory to disc: 100"
1:56 battle of Klendathu, (Colourized)
We can ill afford another Klendathu!
Would you like to know more
3:40
Minelayer: Do or die
Demolition trucks: Yes
3:55 me on the toilet every morning
The flamethrowers did more casualties in their own camp than in any other
Lmao, true!
Haha yes, how good for them that they had 4 barracks left in the end instead of 6, burning less teammates.
Social distancing grenadier
Or in this case, explosive distancing.
Love this great series keep up the good work! I have been watching since Ep. 4 The attack dogs look like a swarm of worms LOL!
4 player FFA was basically flamethrowers waiting to be carried by rocket troops before scamazing the #1 place.
3:42 EPILEPSY WARNING!
Damn, what a blast! I like how one nuclear truck sets of a chain reaction, just like A-bombs themselves do. Alas the mine layer will likely die briefly from radiation poisoning, but atleast this happened far away from major settlements.
Dont know why but this series is extremly sattisfying
Before the video: What is this episode ?
After the vidéo: Waow! 🔥
Demolition truck: I am the ultimate martyr
Flamethrower legion: Hold my beer
lol, the sufficient spacing between flame thrower soldiers was the key
I knew it'd be the flamethrowerers but still hailed for rocketeers. Nice
Another Fightclub!!!
Rule 1 of fightclub.
Like the Fightclub!
Rule 2 of fightclub

Rule 3 of fightclub
Love the fightclub!
Better rules would be:
"The first rule about fight club is you will talk about fight club.”
“The second rule about fight club is you will talk about fight club.”
I like how the demo trucks explode in sequence. In red alert 2 the trucks will explode all at once😂.
nice filled APC i was so looking forward to that and that demo truck thing was perfection
1 Minelayer vs. 499 Nuclear Trucks
*Winner:* _Epilepsy._
I wish the last battle also had a "units lost" count.
The Carnage.. Imagine having to call all those soldiers parents.
3:37 One mine to rule them all.
All cool Minelayers don't look at the explosions they cause either XD.
And in the flash bang blind them. :)
the mine layer vs the demo trucks is probably the closest thing to an actual nuclear blast youll ever see in comand and conquer
Bro, this'll never get old. Please, keep 'em coming!
7:05 - You need to hold sweepstakes !
@2:52 That one APC at the top was like "Nah, I'm not fighting. Deuces!"
When this 1996 game has slightly better pathfinding than a 1998 game (Starcraft).
Tesla Coils vs Ants next? :D .
Also: How about Iron Curtained units? ;-) .
Love how the flame thrower guys almost kill their own base
Fixed! Costs me 5 shots did that last result 😅 Great drinking game.
That one minelayer . . . THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!!
I never would have thought the flamers could win! I expected the light tanks or rocket troopers to mince them.
Nobody but the flamethrower themselves actually destroy their own barracks.
To be honest, watching these tells me what to build to counter better lol
That mine layer vs truck bombs... Damn!
I never really got super into the C&C games, but I do hope you keep doing these, they're very interesting.
Funny XD
You can do EVERYTHING IS FREE in interior underground base?
I second this request, that tileset is so crispy sexy.
Awesome stuff again, really fun to watch. In a lot of matchups I think the winner is obvious but it keeps surprising me.
What an interesting way to spend my Sunday afternoon.
Now it’s Sunday I’m am watching
Now that was oddly satisfying to watch. Thanks for that
einstein vs volkov you know i will keep dogging you until we get this epic showdown.
don't worry, I write down every request 😄
Those trucks came with nukes to a mine-fight.
I just came here for the music. But I stayed for the video.
I'm really impressed the number of nuke trucks didn't crash the game
The 4-way with the Flame Troops threw me for a while, wasn't sure who would take that one.
Wow, the game actually CAN show the number of destroyed units. :-D That's awesome. Interesting stats! :)
4:00 that plane wreckage survived somehow lol
You better tighten down that monitor of yours, my friend; all those earthquakes from those nukes are going to wreck your desktop. 😂
So this is my life now. Thanks Co-Vid.
Every time on the cross map, the units on the bottom spot always just charge straight across the field to the farthest enemy. They ignore the units closest.
Rocket launchers did all the heavy lifting and then got overwhelmed 1v1 lol
That must’ve taken a LOT of losses for the flamethrowers, though!
Flamethrower ftw.
Nice one like always.
That FFA was hilarious, who would've thought that red would end up winning after being the first to lose buildings. Btw, I wonder how the grenadier X rifleman would end if the grenadiers were the attackers.
The best video game song ever made in the history of ever. Hell march!
Flamethrower team really has the rocket team on the ropes aaaand they have to start from scratch
you should put a disclaimer for the photosensitive for the minelayer vs destruction truck
otherwise great video :)
