i love how the actors commit to their parts in these clearly low budget, completely fantastical, sometimes slightly sleezy mission briefings. they just have fun with it.
There is an interview somewhere on UA-cam with the actress who did Lt. Eva. If I remember correctly she keeps an unopened package of the games on display in her home, it's her prized jewel or something like that.
Most of them are real actors, so of course they commit. Kari Wuhrer (Agent Tanya) and Aleksandra Kaniak (Lt. Zofia) are professional TV show actresses to this day, as well as Ray Wise (American President), who was a popular TV show actor in the 90s, and especially Udo Kier (Yuri), who was a famous Hollywood actor long before he starred in the game. Let's also not forget Igor Zhizhikin, who played a generic bad Russian in many movies, one of his most notable roles was in the 2008 Indiana Jones movie, and he voiced the Tesla Troopers in RA2, and his face is even on the box art of RA2. And what's even cooler is that they're all still acting today, how fucking awesome is that! This game has a famous cast, I would say, and I don't think it's really as "low budget" as you think.
Just FYI, there's actually a trick to fool the psychic dominator ;) The psychic dominator could mind-control units in a grid of 3x3, but the AI selects its target based on the number of player's units in a 5x5 grid. So a strategy would be to deploy a few units at the boundary of a 5x5 grid, and some mind-control resistant units (terror drones, miners, etc.) in the inner 3x3 grid to lure the psychic dominator to fire at the center of the grid. This way, Yuri will constantly keep using the dominator to control the units in the grid with no unit being actually controlled.
I know in red alert 1 the AI also does the scan from top left then goes right jumps back to the left side goes down one and scans the next row of the map. so you also need to know how it scans so that it picks thoes specific 5 units.
Something really fun that I discovered completely by accident about that last mission: You can sell the allied construction yard over and over again and they keep chronoing in more and more tanks. I did this for ages and then rolled over Yuri's base with a massive army of "free" tanks.
@@exyl_sounds It's what you don't learn about in history class. Egypt was actually wrecking the Greeks with their silly little footmen. Then the TRex nation attacked.
A possible reason could be low iq, if you didn’t know few non robot units cant be mind controlled like the brutes for yuri cant be mind controlled bc they quote “have the intelligence of a 2nd grader”
The chronosphere actually has another use in 2nd allied mission. You can locate Yuri's miners and send battle fortress full with 5 spies near those miners. Infiltrate the miners and enjoy the cash 😁
@@constablerain7858 yea but its a long way up there. there are a loot of Yuri clones and a loot of gattlings spread across the city . its not an easy task to avoid them all
In "Clones Down Under" you can save the Black Eagles. Observed a trigger in a recent attempt of mine which fires after all Boomers are dead. It triggers the Eagles, attack waves, infantry production and garrisons units inside buildings. Garrisoned infantry actually just spawns next to builds out of thin air and then garrison which is kinda funny since it looks like they enter the building they came out from. As for how to break the trigger you just make a Boomer aggro on some building or land unit and shoot its missiles. Trigger will not fire until Boomer is dead and you can just destroy the towers, saving those pilots. And uh cheese the entire mission since there isn't much you deal with.
Few people do red alert content, even fewer with voice commentary and only you with good commentary. Big fan of your content man, don't be afraid to try some other content you would like to make
tbh there are a few that produce good shit and they're very well liked a their content get's loads of views but still it's good to see somebody new join the fray and produce some good, creative stuff
I genuinely could not even imagine full copletion of some RA2 YR campaign without any unit loses. Maybe, because thougt that it was obviously impossible. But you showed it to be otherwise. Also editing and jokes are quite good. (mb would be even beter to have some scoreboard with "Unit Loses" column there or maybe a kind of in-game statistic tab can be added by some mod - just as a concrete proof) Thanks for the video.
Damn this was a fun ride. Awesome job! Nice use of memes and general video quality was top tier. Im a big fan of giantgrantgames and his hilarously difficult challenges. So Im eager to see what you have in store after YR. Maybe Generals or TibSun? Anyway, subbed!
Man I felt your pain when you said you played the campaign in the wrong difficulty. The final allied mission has always been strange for me; I either roll over yuri or get rolled over, dont quite know why lol
The only thing that bugged me post-patch, was the removal of the custom voice over and naming of the "VIPs". I remember, Arnie Frankefurten (if memory serves right), Flint Westwood and Sammy Stallion, with their own voice over
Good times. love this game. it's been a few years since i last played this game. seeing this video i might have to play this game again soon. enjoy this classic RTS game. they do not make great games like this anymore.
FINALLY! Finally there is "Can you beat" type of videos about Red Alert series! If I may ask, can you do this challenge for Red Alert 1 and especially Red Alert 3 as well? I already did my own self imposed challenges for RA3 but never this one since this seems daunting. Also RA3 campaign would just be more fun to watch while you do this challenge
New subscriber here. I was watching Jordan Peterson in Command and Conquer videos and your Russia Stop Dying video was recommended to me by the algorithm. I really enjoy your sense of comedy with these videos, and look forward to your new content!
See it's these little edits that make good videos, the MGSV clock speed up, the Skyrim joke at the end, and other things while keeping on point with the purpose of your guide here It's the same kind of thing I've seen George Salonikh do and why I think you'll be a great youtuber
Helpful tips for ya, Psymin! You could throw the actors into the battle fortresses in mission 2 by the way, they can still fight for ya in that manner! It also gets rid of any agro against the actors. In mission 3, you are meant to use the weather control device on the Bio-Reactors above the nuke silo in order to get rid its main power, then capture the nearest tech power plant to freeze its timer. doing so probably would have saved you valuable time and prevented the nuke from being launched. (I had to edit this multiple times, sorry bout that.)
you got a god damn sub my brother, this game is my favorite ever since it was one of the first i played as a kid. Nice edits with the cinematics xD ! Thank you for your hard work :)
@@potatoboi8204 with resets allowed it's doable. Watch the Allied video he got stuck on one of them trying to save as many technicians as possible and in the end a few were going to inevitably die
@@ericzhi save scumming exist but the problem is how MO was designed with its massive battles that losing a unit is practically impossible especially the huge enemy counter attacks he'd have a chance but I doubt his sanity will endure the immense number of resets just to do a deathless run
For the last mission, I ALWAYS clear out the trees on the initial island and build a whole map of construction yards and war factories. That just maxes out my output before the Allied toys get teleported in.
On that last Yuri mission, if you're fast enough with an IFV/engineer rush, you can grab the little sub base that starts cheatbuilding in the bottom left corner, and then have all 3 superweapons. Then, with both allied and soviet tech, you can do a Picard Maneouvre.
man who do you work for? this is way too good for the numbers i see, very good job writing and editing and thank you for bringing love to this treasure of golden age gaming, cant wait for more
Apocs were in the opening cutscene of the base game tho, which takes place at the start of the war. Yea, there's conflicting evidence whether they were present or not.
7:02 A Bill Gates parody from 2001 called Bing... hmmmm... 13:10 Don't see why the survival of the Black Eagles is any concern. They have a different color so technically they aren't your units.
If you somehow manage to secure a kill with the slave miners, they'll rank up to heroic status immediately on the grounds that they're a free unit. That being said, they'll also hit enemies with devastating power
12:10 Don't you then need to move quickly once you get the Psychic Dominator since it self-destructs shortly afterwards? Which counts as a lost structure...
Have you ever pointed out the obvious fact that the timer is actually running at double speed? I actually counted the seconds and for every one second in real life, at least 2 seconds went by in that timer in the game.
I never got those t Rex in the Egypt mission. I know I've always uncovered the area with the t Rex in the holloywood mission but I'm guessing that's not the trigger

jesus, i wish i had a brain to figure that one out, or at least think about trying it
@@sulik6228 well... I didnt know that in First... But I saw IT somewhere.. 🤣
And you can skip the Half of the mission And then destroy the dominator

all roads lead to Helgen
I just realized the irony of yuri making dinosaur movies and dying to a dinosaur.
possible foreshadowing with that mental omega outro perhaps?
What a treat. Can't wait for the Soviet yr video.
It's actually quite easy to defend the tech structures in Trick or Treaty. Not losing a single unit while doing it may be harder.
