Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge - Promotion Guide
Рет қаралды 106,792
Күн бұрынIn many games units have the ability to gain experience and level up. Red Alert 2 has introduced it's own way of ranking the experienced units. So in Red Alert 2, there are two ranks, Veteran and Elite. When units are promoted to Veteran they improve all around becoming a much better version than the original. While maintaining all benefits of Veterancy, Elite units gain a self-healing ability along with a new weapon.
The video is divided into 7 chapters
0:00 Introduction
0:25 How Promotion Works
2:13 Killing promoted units
3:33 Skipping Veterancy
4:10 Promotion Bonuses
6:28 Ways of Promoting
8:44 Units that Can't be promoted
9:29 Extra Stuff
12:00 - Outro
All the details can be found in the video.
As you understand there might be some exceptions, some incomplete or even false info. Sometimes the whole way a game works is quite complicated but I can assure you I did my best to find the best possible sources along with intense testing to make sure everything described is as true as possible.
This video wouldn't be possible to be done had it not been for:
Tutankhamun for providing me this map with all the necessary edits.
TAK02 for providing valuable information & helping me with the tests
to make sure all the information given to you is accurate.

After running some tests here's what I found: the thing with having to exceed the exact promotion value is not always the case. I made a 500$ vehicle, and after destroying 3 enemy vehicles each worth 500$ , I still needed to kill something at least 1$ worth, just as expected. However, when I kill a single vehicle costing 1500$, for some reason my unit gets promoted immediately. Also tried killing some elite units, usually I get promoted when reaching the exact value, but sometimes I do have to exceed it. So far I wasn't able to deduce the exact reason why.
@kurzackd 2 жыл бұрын
Regarding the case of the elite units: Maybe it's similar to the first case you described, when you kill the needed value AT ONCE, you get promoted, but if you do it "in portions", you have to add the +1 ?

Dammit with these 2 enter the building together there is no one who can pass. But every Chrono units is not suggest to garrison, the game will crash. Garrisonned units will have specific range thought, not their original range, I tested with Sniper and Virus and they shoot the same range as Conscript in building.

I like how you put World In Conflict in the background. Edit: the reason why that extra 1$ is needed for promotion is because a unit's or buildings first kill always grants one experience point *less* than it should. Example: Pillbox needs 1500 for veteran, but its first 500$ Flak Track only grants it *499* points. Therefore it needs that extra 1$ to reach 1500 points. I do not know why that is. Special thanks to Phobos' new Digital Display feature which also shows experience points which led to that conclusion.

Fun fact: Liberated slaves cost 0 since they were built for free from the original player's slave miner, as a result if they kill ANYTHING they are instantly promoted to Elite. Quick question though, do variants of normal units (such as black guard Apoc tanks and coast guard destroyers) share the same costs as the normal unit that they are modified versions of?
@tsiripas 4 жыл бұрын
I doubt they have any difference but that needs to be checked through an editor.
@CnCDune 4 жыл бұрын
They share the same stats. The Black Guard is just standard Soviet arsenal, but with Apocs already elite (and scary). Coast Guard boats have the same stats as the regular Destroyer, but they are not the same unit.
@Toast_94 4 жыл бұрын
@@CnCDune Yeah, I thought that the black guard's apoc tank was actually a statistically superior unit from normal elite apoc tanks. Turned out that I was referencing a part of the apoc tank's C&C wiki entry that I didn't realize had since been edited out nearly eight years ago. From 2010 to some point in 2012 it claimed the following: "Romanov's Black Guards owned four Elite Apocalypse which they deployed around the Kremlin. However, these apocalypse tanks had longer range, were faster, had more armor, more firepower, and a higher rate of fire than any other elite apocalypse tank, even ones that had acquired the armor, speed, and firepower crate upgrades." I had to go digging through the page's edit history just to find it and confirm that I wasn't going crazy. :\

And in Red Alert 2, somehow the notorious Soviets cannot grasp the concept of 'espionage', making a cat-and-mouse game of whether the Allies manage to obtain the most broken units in the game.

the reason infantry do not promote when garrisoned in RA2 original is because garrisonable buildings themselves have a weapon, and use that weapon when infantry is garrisoned inside, and only two weapons are available: soviet and allied guns. with RA2 yuri's revenge, the building weapon is removed and "allow infantry to fire" is added, which allows ANY infantry to use their own weapon when garrisoned, as long as they can do it.

Fun fact: There is a veterancy icon for Attack Dogs in the sidebar if you edit the files and let them gain veterancy. It looks bulkier as if they just slapped the image behind the Tiberian Sun font. Which is another thing about those promotions; Tiberian Sun had the unit icon and text being separate. So you could name the unit whatever you wanted in the files and it'd be above the icon. But in Red Alert 2, since they needed a veteran icon and for some reason it couldn't just be spliced in as another layer, it's all part of the unit icon itself along with the text so now if you wanted to make a custom unit, you had to create a custom icon with the text below since the game won't do it for you :(

An IFV with a Chrono Legionnaire in it also promotes insanely fast. Like it doesn't need 3x value to become Veteran or Elite. Or it feels like it doesn't.

Elite status was intended to cumulatively give Armor bonus! Stacking with Veteran level's bonus. The reason why this did not work as intended could be a code issue - perhaps 2 instances of STRONGER cannot stack, but by creating STRONGERE then they both can finally stack.

12:02 I think Chrono Miners have the property "AvoidThreats" by default. That's why it avoided the garrisoned Initiates.

But is it the same case with structures like a nuke missile for example ? Will it give veterency to any units 3 times lower it's cost ? ( assuming it costs 5000 )
@tsiripas 4 жыл бұрын
Structures will promote units when being destroyed by them. Super-weapons being the most expensive structures in the game will instantly promote most units to elite and many to veteran. Kirov or an Apocalypse for example won't be promoted by destroying it.

Not if the only thing they destroyed was that SW. In regular gameplay chances are tho that unit already destroyed many things (might even be a veteran), and that extra $5000 can push it over the edge and give it promotion.

hey awsome video as always. Idk if u still check comments but if you do what will happen if multiple units attack the same target? which one will get the xp to promote?

I think that’s not possible. There’s always one projectile that hits first.

I watched the Chrono Leg video but I forgot. What happens to Elite Chrono Leg weapon? It just shoots faster but looses wall impenetrability ?
@CnCDune 4 жыл бұрын
Pretty much, yeah. The "shoots faster" part is not due to the weapon, tho; just the veteran bonus. The Legionnaire's weapon has twice as much damage as the original one, and that's not accounting for the damage bonus from veteran.

About garrisoning troops, two questions: 1) Do promotional bonuses apply to garrisoned troops? 2) If yes, does the soldier need to be ejected first for the "unit promoted" message and then regarrisoned, or do the bonuses take effect straight away?

fartx211 they do yes. As it seems you need to avacuate your troops but further testing needs to be done

Do garrisoned units get promoted right after killing, or do they need to quit the building first? In other words, will their damage improve without going out first? Is that the same for battle forts?
