The builder cost 3200 gold and used 20000 gold and 10000 wood, while the 256 dead grunts amount to 153600 gold. So it was an economic victory for the builders.
I wonder if the peasants would have won if they had unlimited funding? Or if their repair speed on the towers would have been overwhelmed by the orc damage eventually anyway?🤔
The last fight made me realize that the sound of 30+ elven archers is a hypnotic, almost soothing white-noise. Instead of listening to rain to sleep, I need a rain of arrows.
I never really had fun with RTS games, but watching this teleported me back to the 90s and suddenly made me realize all of the hype around the OG warcraft & starcraft series.
lol at the last one. I was thinking Horde had this in the bag, then it panned over to all of those demo squads; then I was like nope they're screwed. XD

Great video, long time no see, friend, glad to meet again. I see that you improve your ideas, the last siege of the base leads us to some sort of hostorical fights and wars and i think its pretty good.
I wasn’t surprised by the mage vs ogre one. I was five or six when I first played this game so I always used cheats. The infinite mana cheat also gave infinite mana to the computer and I remember one level where I had to funnel my army through a choke point to get to the alliance base there was a group of mages who turned everything I sent at them into sheep. 😅
For the peasants/grunts fight, I wonder if the peasants would have done better if they'd built guard towers instead of cannon towers, since guard towers upgrade faster and fire faster, so they would have thinned out the grunts sooner before they cleared the row of town halls. Guard towers are also cheaper, so the peasants would have had more money for repairs at the end. The only advantages the cannon towers have here are the splash damage, and I guess having slightly higher hp, and I don't think that gives them enough benefit in this fight. I could be wrong in this case; I've just long felt that guard towers are vastly superior to cannon towers in this game.
Have you tried Dentarg vs Danath, Turlayon and Alleria? I know Dentarg is really powerful and can beat Danath and Turlayon with minimal damage, but can he take Alleria too?
"I'm gonna keep moving right into the death and decay field-that's a winning tactic!" Balista commander who led 500 balista to thier death...and decay. I wish I could show an old High School friend that last fight since his primary WC2 strategy was "surround base with guard towers." That peasant fight, though.
An experiment proposal. I'd like to see identical armies fight each other, but you organize the waves opposite of one another. One army has least expensive units in the Frontline and most expensive in the back, other army has most expensive up front and least expensive in the back. I wanna know which is better strategy
Those ballistas never stood a chance. Human controlled might be a different story. Also, the demo squads in the last sequence were almost useless, just damage sponges.

I have to wonder if the peasants couldn't have lasted longer and killed more with better building placements. It looked like only a couple of the towers were firing at the front line of orcs. and they didn't start firing for a very long time for some reason. @2:43 the bottom tower finished building. it's first shot was at 3:07 or 3:08. do they just not fire for 25 seconds after building? oh I see, I guess even though the peasants left the building it still was not finished building
I wonder if the peasants should have trained an extra peasant or two from the town halls before they fell, with the resources they had. They would have run out of resources sooner, but the cannon tower might have gotten more good shots off before the town halls fell. After they fall, they try to shoot the closest units and deal little damage to them.
I already made lots of Red Alert Fight Club videos but I ran out of ideas. Do you mean Red Alert 2? I was hoping they would Remaster it but it doesn't seem to be happening.
9:30 - And what did we learn from the last skirmish? Taking the Eagles to Mordor doesn't work. But taking the Eagles plus the allied army to Mordor DOES work.
I can see why polymorph and exorcism as well death coil being so OP in this game to the point it is being nerfed and completely removed the exorcism from the third game.
I thought the Ogres would've made minced meat of them, not knowing they'd rather prefer lamb. That Peasant fight went totally different than i expected, i wasn't sure what the money would've been for, maybe somehow bribing Orcs out of fighting (i only played it a couple of times back in the 90s), but that was a valiant effort.
