DOSBox is available for Android, so you can play the DOS version of Red Alert in all its pixelated glory.

This is one of those mission that has a definitive panic factor when you play it for the first time. It's also one of those missions that shows just how damn good the Allied naval units are. Allies Mission 7: Deep Sea

They got that fixed later on. Late reply, but how did they fix that? Is there a cap on the number of Overlords?

Challenge accepted.

Is there some official poll going on somewhere?

Okay, okay, this is the last mission I cheese with Harriers. I think it's justified here, though. Allies Mission 6: Liberty

That could be true. Sometimes chopper seem to fly towards a target, but refuse to actually shoot it. I think I coul fix that with having them land somewhere before the attack.

That's true, but we can't simulate that in most RTSs anyway - otherwise a lot of units would be able to shoot all across the map.

This is how it should be. Infantry is often underpowered in RTS games, and no game accurately simulates combat anyway. A tank that is ambushed by several guys with rocket launchers is likely to be toast.

Damn it, now I have to replay this map!

Here comes the infamous crate-collecting mission. I remember when you had to get certain crates in certain missions to get the nuke in the final mission. Never worked for me. Nod Mission 6

Wow, really? I didn't even know that. I guess I missed those engineers every single time I played this mission! XD

Late answer, but the only thing I could image is that they were afraid of using someone's character without permission. That would strike me as odd, though. I doubt that Schwarzenegger, Stallone or Eastwood care about a RTS game. All of them have been parodied before (and parody is covered by fair use), especially Schwarzenegger e.g. the Cryolegionnaire from RA3 is basically Mr Freeze from Batman & Robin.

Another commando mission with Tanya, this time at the Polish-German border. It's not as hard as the tactical missions in RA1, mainly due to the fact that Tanya is quite sturdy (she can take more than one zap from a Tesla Coil) and regenerates. Also, is this the mission where you can get control over a cow? Allies Mission 5: Dark Night

And now for an amphibious invasion over the Great Lakes... which is not as far-fetched as one might think. Allies Mission 4: Last Chance

I can confirm that the AI is a proper pain. As Nod, the GDI Warthogs love to target the units I'm assembling next to my air field. Waaaay better than the Generals AI which would always use three A-10s to destroy your $500 barracks or some nonsense like that.

Yes, some of the videos were recorded before the patch. Higher cost and/or lower efficiency will probably do it.

Red Alert 3 is recorded in its entirety. I recorded that really early because I did a coop LP, which made scheduling even more difficult than usual. RA2 is also done. Tiberian Dawn Redux is five episodes ahead. Axis & Allies is done. I have about six episodes for the Lovecraftian Retrospective, one more for Hero Keeper and a couple of episodes for an unreleased series. I will record some more stuff (likely Aftermath and Counterstrike) in the near future because I'm probably going to be short on recording time from April to June.

Pardon?

The very first time I played this mission, I accidentally destroyed the White House. You even get a snarky message for that! Allies Mission 3: Hail to the Chief.

In Generals, units always need a moment to explode properly, especially tanks. And yes, the silos are OP. They should probably generate money slower and/or be more expensive because you can get them so early (as opposed to the black market/hacker/drop zone).

He, I don't remember all the details of what I said, to be honest. I record these videos ahead of time e.g. Red Alert 2 was recorded last December.

Finally, access to tanks! I'm still not over how massive that Antonov plane is. Nod Mission 5

All Rocketeers? I might do that, but no promises. :laugh:

I think I mentioned that during the RA1 credits, but I think I'll make a video update on that.
