spy: "i need to be as stealthy and as unnoticeable as possible" also spy: *disguises self as a T-rex*

Now I'm just imagining a dog riding an IFV, barking out the window at spies. That's so adorbs.

Fun fact that I'm pretty sure most of you already knew: The Allied Attack Dog is a German Shepherd. Pretty standard logical choice for an attack dog. The Soviet Attack Dog is a Siberian Husky. In real life, Huskies aren't suited for an attack or guard dog job because they're a very friendly and also stubborn breed. They'd be quicker to make friends with a burglar than to attack him. But maybe the Soviet Husky does it for Mother Russia.

First soldier: I was thinking ,why does T-rex walks to our nuclear silo? Second soldier: Nah, it is nothing to worrying about.

3:06 I just imagine two spies in an oversized camel costume trying to infiltrate a base, like, talk about off the wall tactics :D

GI: Oh look that Trex is on its way inside the War Factory, oh well.

You'd think that Terror Drone's could kill a T-rex. I'm not saying they should but they definitely could. Ah well.

4:35 infiltrating Refineries will grant 50% of the amount the infiltrated player has in the bank.

Mister Anderson!

I can't stop laughing at the fact that spies can be disguised as T-Rexes.

1:33 Limitation of the engine. There was no way at the time without some pretty big changes internally that they could make it so Yuri would get one first and then not be able to get the other. The only other option would be giving Yuri his own attack dogs that only becomes accessible when they have Allied or Soviet production. This is indeed exactly how they solved this problem, the Attack Dogs that Yuri gets, while using the exact-same graphics and statistics as the Allied and Soviet attack dogs, are actually *not* the same units as the Allied and Soviet attack dogs. They are special cases that only exist for a Yuri that gets Allied and/or Soviet tech and Yuri does not have access to the "real" Allied/Soviet Attack Dogs at all and Allied/Soviet do not have access to the Yuri versions at all either. IIRC using some combinations of features in ARES you can accomplish Yuri only having 1 attack dog or the other depending on which tech they get first tho. Some other Fun Facts: 1. The Psi Commando was originally for Allies infiltrating Soviets and Chrono Ivans was only for Soviets infiltrating Allies. Soviets getting ahold of Spies sounds hard at first, but it's not as hard as you think in base RA2 because the Cloning Vat could "reverse engineer" infantry put inside it, something very easy to accomplish thanks to Mind Control. Reverse Engineering was for some reason completely broken and inaccessible in YR, but ARES fixes that. Specifically about Yuri Prime, this is Soviets infiltrating Soviets. RA2 Yuri Prime can also float over water like the YR counterpart, but can't mind control buildings. Their Psi Blast deploy ability also charges much faster compared to normal Clones. 2. Spies were intended to be in Tiberian Sun, in singleplayer campaigns only, and were fully implemented for singleplayer but for unknown reasons was cut. While there is a bug that makes _everyone_ be granted vision of a player when anyone infiltrates that player's Radar, it was likely that since Spies were planned to only be in singleplayer this was just a complete oversight that they never caught because they never tested it in multiplayer before they decided they'd only have spies in very specific scripted missions. 3. More Tiberian Sun facts, Spies actually provided the OG RA1 reveal production behavior when infiltrating production facility. IIRC this still _kinda sorta_ existed in RA2 but was completely inaccessible behavior. ARES reimplements this behavior, though. 4. You actually get _a ton_ more money from infiltrating AI refineries than normal players because the AI cheats and gets upwards of twice the return with their harvesters, _ontop_ of having "virtual" Ore Purifiers that even further increase the money they get (the number of virtual Ore Purifiers they get is based off of their difficulty). 5. Attack Dogs literally don't have an IFV mode, this is why they are not different at all from a standard IFV. They are one of the only infantry in the game that doesn't have an IFV mode, with the weird neutral infantry mobs.

I think spies should have been available for all factions since every country has spies.

IIRC if you disguise as a rocketeer, or chrono, they walk instead of fly/teleport.

I think it's worth mentioning that Psychic towers will also automatically mind-control spies, even if they are disguised, which makes sense since you can't hide your thoughts unless you're Revolver Ocelot and you hypnotise yourself or something. I'm not sure about Yuri clones or Masterminds, though, I imagine it's the same..?

Spy disguising as a TRex is even better than spy pretending that he is a dog =)

The ending though 😂🤣 Poor tg, his buildings got nuked in the middle of testing.

I want to see a walking rocketeer and chrono legionaire.

It always grinds my gears how dogs can chew though Tesla Troopers, Desolators, Chrono Legionnaires, Bears, Alligators. There should be more units that cannot be defeated by the dog.

You forgot to mention that Yuri Clones and Psi-Towers can detect and mind control spies. Always happens to me when I try to infiltrate a Yuri-base.

RIP Sean Connery, The Main inspiration for the RA2 Allied Spy.

I wonder if the enemy attacking a neutral disguised spy is a bug?

Does chrono legionnaire disguise have a walking animation? Never bothered to check.

Also, if you edit Attack Dogs to be promoteable, in the classic RA2, they get a chevron on their icon when you infiltrate a Barracks. The icon itself is of a different quality to the rest of them which makes me think the devs originally were going to make Attack Dogs promoteable until they changed it, then finalised the artwork...

There's a way to have both types of dogs at the same time? That's a childhood dream come true.

I didnt know we could buy 2 diffrent dogs Amazing work keep it up

Very cool video! Nice!

A question for your next "Testing Your Questions" video: Both you and your opponents are the Allied, you both build Spies, but didn't disguise them. What will happen when you order your Spy to disguise as the enemy's Spy? By that, I mean what the new disguise will look like? How the enemy units will behave when your Spy is near them?

-- Can we arm spies with anything? -- No! -- Maybe at least pistols? -- I said NО! -- Okay. Then do not complain when the fifth spy is in the stomachs of Soviet guard dogs. * Well, you got it*

Apparently, there's a bug in Red Alert 2 can help you infiltrate your own building with your spy. Although, it does not work on Yuri's Revenge. And well, I don't know if that's a bug or a feature.

Hi man keep up the good work!!!

Nice vídeo bro 👌

So your telling me that a highly competent elite spy form one of the worlds strongest militaries can disguise as a furry?

That ending was hilarious 😂

When I was playing RA2, I create a table showing that what you can get a unit based on your barracks. Allied Barracks Soviet Barracks Allied Lab Chrono Commando Chrono Ivan Soviet Lab Psi Commando Yuri Prime Edit: I thought what if this happens in YR. I was thinking there will be 5 more units will be exist. I did play YR in year 2018

Fun fact: In RA2 you can spy your own buildings by... 1. damaging them a little, 2. sending an engineer to repair it, AND using the waypoint command to walk spy in with the engineer. In YR you can't do this, but there is another way which still works (read the Ares (an extension framework) docs about how Ares patched it to work out how to do it). It's a bit like the other bugs such as chrono legionaries can kill friendlies to gain promotion etc.

Most frustrating quote. Me: *Technology Stole*

I was a little surprised when a spy disguised as a dinosaur 2:43

WOOW never knew both superweapons and Radar even though I tried ! thought it simply doesn't do a thing!

Any ideas how to script the spy to look like one of the player troops when fighting the allies. and then move on to infiltrate the player buildings? To date the spy patrols to a waypoint , disguises and then stops. Nothing appears to move him on. Using Final Alert 2 triggers., scripts ect.

2:43 i wonder how human can turn into t rex 😂😂😂

Can u zoom in the tests a bit...sometimes the normal resolution makes it difficult to pick the tiny appearing details...

I can only imagine a spy infiltrating an ore refinery to secretly transfer a huge sum of money into the player's account.

So what about that Allied level in RA2 where you first get Spies? You capture a Soviet Barracks in that level and despite having an Allied UI and Eva, you train Soviet Attack Dogs and Engineers. How does that work? Also, the AI can't detect spies without Attack Dogs but they'll certainly try and run them over whenever they can :D

is there a reliable site where i can download this game again? i miss it soo much!

I just find it funny that the portrait for the Psi Commando is just Yuri holding a detonator. Lol

How do you have cosmonaut in your infantry list? 5:00

Never thought about that Dogs are the only 'detector' unit or so... I remember in alpha mode for Red Alert 3 you could add the attack dog inside IFV turrets, but the benefit was only to spam the bark ability. SO that made little sense so tehy removed it. However, would had been cool to be able to add Dogs inside IFV vehicles and they became detector units. More safe scouting with IFV for hidden stuff than a vulnerable dog.

yo bro. is there a way to convert the .map file to .yrm file? thanks.

In RA2 it's have a glitch that allow your spy entering your building by just damage your building and use engineer and spy walk in to by use way point command.

Can you test AI difficulties?

Formerly through a bug, you can used to infiltrating the spy and engineer into your own building at the same time

Tg, what with the Agt. Smith for....I see it's for the Allied Spy. However in the game, they can be killed by vehicles or Attack Dog.

0:25 who's the 4 unit? Yuri prime, Jurassic, hulk and ???

Aside from dogs, what buildings/units can auto-detect & auto-attack spies? Is Prism Tower & Tesla Coil & Bill Box can do that?

How can I use Yuri allied and Soviet in one base plzzz

Nighthawk helicopter and amphibious transports next?

Is there a hidden function for Naval Yards for spies, that lets the submarine units surface and/or show up on map? Can spies swim while being disguised as a SEAL?

A spy disguises himself as a T-Rex.

Freakin dinosaurs as a spy XD

Soldier 1: Hey Bob Soldier 2: What, George? Soldier 1: A T-Rex is heading into our refinery Soldier 2: Okay.

I'm glad in RA3 they gave attack dogs and the bears an attack cooldown, instead of having the killer bunny of canerborog.

Hi TG, thanks for your awesome videos. Could you please do the units auto attack rules next, I really want to know how they attack, sometimes the units attack the building sometimes the units. thanks

What was the song for the second half of the video I'd like to know please

Five spies in a battle fortress should have made a fortress which can disguise as any vehicle

spy ctrl attack dog = wears a fur suit

time to get along, little doggy! ...or time to get a dog little longy.

*Those trex's are up to something* - Soviet Conscript, 2006

Poor that doggie 😥

The moment I found out that spies can steal opponents' money, with exorbitant amount that's what I always did in skirmish usually early in the game before I build my troops.

0:10 - That's bullshit. Good boys deserve promotions.

i think it would be cool if spies can attack by backstabbing or have some sort of melee attack but oh well they r already strong :b

So can a spy be disguised as any chrono unit including secret ones or cosmonaut and have a walk? And what comes for infiltrating conyard?

War factory....THE SUPER WEAPONS SHOOTING POINT!!!

Disguise as a dinosaur xD

is it 2020 now or 2002？

if i should remind you, that the spies in ra2 use the prototype of 007, which means british movies.

So, have you considered which mods to try out and mess around with? C&C reloaded just recently got a 1.4.0 update and the mod needs a lot of buffs and nerfs to the units of one of the 5 factions. You could also test Mental Omega and see which units are overpowered or underpowered, though I doubt the MO team would find your results interesting. Right now, in the C&C reloaded discord, there is this debate on TS units being underpowered compared to their RA counterparts. Also, the terror drone should have been able to rip apart the T-rex. All it has to do is puncture its lower organs and drill its way into the upper organs.

4:33, can you show a side by side of how much money is stolen by the spy? I've heard anywhere between 25-50%

Note in the thumbnail: the spy is not agent smith. He must be sean connery as 007 😎

you forgot to mention an important thing: don't send 1 spy in the AI ore rafinery. Send 2-3 to 2-3 different rafineries. It's not overkill. You''ll get at least 20-70k resources back. Yes, the AI is a big fat cheater. 1 spy (let's say) 50% resources. 2 spy = 75%. 3 spy= 87.5% resource etc. Sometimes dog can't kill 3 spies that go all 3 together.

Wait, arent there more units? Like sovient spy infiltraes sovient, sovient spy ingiltrate alies, alies infiltrate sovjet, alies spy infoltrate alies and than one for yure? Sorry if i missed something very tired wiating until my pc uploads something so that i can sleep, spelling must be horrible

1:22, what's result of the spy, did he steal the tech?

you forget spy can be capture by yuri or yuri tower ( forget the name of tower like tesla coil )

there is spy creeping around here

Music name video ?? Plz

Ra2 wont record sound for you?

Ngl, the spy's artwork in the thumbnail looks a lot like Agent Smyth

Dinosaur: hold my fossils

0:20 Every vehicle: Am I a joke to you

I wish that the Spy in an IFV could disguise itself as an enemy vehicle, it would have been an interesting tactic but admittedly too over powered. It’s also interesting that the Attack Dog was coded to be allowed to enter an IFV or Battle Fortress in the first place.

you can spy your own building by clicking ctrl to it

dog can attack a polar bear and an alligator but cant attack a mummy

The Spy look like a villain form The Matrix!!!

Accidents during teasing huh?

what do we get if we put spy in yuri battle lab

What if my spy takes the disguise of an enemy spy that has taken the disguise of my spy?

5:42 Thats Fun. Spy: RUN BITCH

Yuri’s version of attack dogs are different IMO than when you play Allied or soviet. But they have just same abilities. Just found out in rulesmd.ini

What if an undisguised spy disguised himself while already spotted by a dog?

5:48 Chrono:HAHA! IM HIRED IN A DIFFERENT TEAM AND ATTACK YOU WITH NUKE!!!! tg:but in the past you regretted that squid attack xD I also hate chrono's attitude
