"Commander, are you insane? The cannons are important!" "We are going to travel back in time, remember?" "But but... oh okay, makes sense."

Man holy smoke! "Tanya dies" "Our reinforcements have arrived!" Escalated very quickly.

This trick with an iron curtain is just cruel.

I wish we could get 6 Aircraft Carriers everytime Tanya dies in any mission.

For Brain Drain, Yuri's base won't activate until you build the radar dish. Make 4 or 5 barracks and war factories up at the soviet base so you can build 1 at the allied base and produce your tanks extra quickly.

Some of this is just fantastic. That grand canyon power plant one, so obvious in hindsight!

Here's another tip I discovered for the Power Play mission. If you use the Storm on Bio-Reactors near the Silo and quickly capture at least one Tech Power Plant, Yuri's base will be on low power and you won't lose your Power Plants and the War Factory.

I always found it disappointing that they patched out the unique voices for the Hollywood Action Heroes in patch 1.001. They were hilarious! Great videos man!

In Power Play, I think if you use the Weather Control Device on Yuri's Bio Reactors and attack/capture the closest Tech Power Plant as fast as possible, you can stop him from using his nuke at all

Also tip or trick or treaty: Train mirage tanks and place them on the bridges BUT do not block the bridge, make sure there's 1 space to move. With this, your mirage tanks can easily destroy any yuri's unit passing the bridge without being attacked.

That iron curtain trick was awesome, thank you so much man!

I remember correctly there was a video that Tanya on a stretcher on the first mission when you lost her.

"In your face, Yuri!" lol that's a high level pun

Boomer:"let the missiles fly!" Me:Ok,Boomer

Credit for all of those tips. Mission 1: I never knew that lol. Always capture 4 plants. Mission 2: I figured the prism could do everything just fine so did not bother yuri initiate before. Maybe I should. Mission 3: I use it all the time, often combining with destroying the closest plant cause yuri will not attempt to do anything with that plant if it is being attacked. Mission 4: I also use it all the time, although I chrono those units outside the base before controlling them. Mission 5: Did not realise the SEAL deal. Wasted a lot of money on destroyers. Mission 6: if the fence on the left hand side is not destroyed, yuri will do nothing to those derricks throughout the entire game. I often force attack bottom fences to capture them. Mission 7: nice tip, especially the repair pad (service depot) one. Sometimes I do capture that small island for more money. Iron curtain one is brutal indeed lol.

tanya: dies eva: reinforcements arrived tanya: -_-

I remember that you get a special cutscene if tanya dies in the first mission.

Fun fact with the Hollywood stars: All three characters were actually three real Hollywood stars, with their real names, when the game released. The three of them were Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger & Sylvester Stallone.

Your humour never gets old.

On that day, Yuri finally got the taste of his own medicine... As well as his mortality

The 2nd mission amusingly has no build restrictions for Yuri's tech, so if you get the Conyard, you can build whatever you want. Granted if you can capture it, you've basicly won already anyway.

In Mission 3, you can capture the power plant yuri controls above your base with quick mirco which will stop the nuke from firing if you weather stormed their power plants in the north base.

it seems that time machine brought us back to 2009 where those trollfaces are

1. In Power Play you can just gather all of your forces and attack the Nuke Silo from the left road, You would never imagine how big is your force in the beginning 2. In Trick or Treaty, Build an Aegis cruiser to not worry about Floating Disc Ever 3. In Brain Dead, SELL YOUR ALLIED MCV WHEN IT TELEPORTED IN. You will get new MCV plus All the first troops. Repeat indefinitely and you don't have to protect your base in antarctic again.

If you play the Hollywood mission with the original retail version of the game, NOT the one in the First Decade anthology or on Origin, all the action movie stars have unique names and voice lines. The cowboy one is "Flint Westwood", the Rambo lookalike is "Sammy Stallion", and the Arnold Swarzenegger lookalike is "Arnie Frankenfurter".

Also in the Seattle mission: If you just Blitzkrieg the nearest power plant to your Barrack (can be achieved with a few tank micros and GIs garrisoning the building) and using the lightning storm to destroy all the Yuri's reactors in his base. you can cut off Yuri's power supply before the first nuke, thus save the war factory.

I remember seeing a cutscene showing Tanya on a stretcher after I sent her to C4 the Nuclear Reactor right after destorying the Psychic Dominator.

Bloody Hell! I didn't know the Iron Curtain can be used to prevent a Psychic Dominator attack.

What I did in power play (mission 3) was use the weather control device on his powerplants, and then rush to capture ONE civilian power plant. do it fast enough and he never a chance to launch the nuke. neat guide, cool to see videos still being released on this classic!

In the last mission i build 2 additional mcvs to be able to build a shorline defense. You can build a huge base at the beginning. Just dont build the radar right away. Take some time and the mission is easy.

So, a few things I did.On the power play mission I quickly rushed the nearest powerplant and with luck, manage to capture & destroy it 1-3 seconds before Yuri can unleash his nuke.Second tip.On the Trick or Treaty mission I used the allied chinook to get my engineers to those oil derricks.This prevents Yuri's ground forces from walking towards it and destroying it. The Chinook also helps real well with taking care of enemy units. (Virus and Yuri clones mainly)

I guess you could say that “Yuri WAS on Ice”.

2:54 you managed to miss that tech power plant, once you've captured it, you will have a suite of reinforcement units settling themselves near it

Ending of your videos are pure GOLD.

Bruh this man really made a tips video about a game from 2000 and that's awesome

I mentioned this yesterday in one of your previous videos can you test the mechanic from tiberian sun which allowed you to capture an ore refinery and the harvester at the same time but instead in red alert 2 i know that it comes down to timing e.g you'd need to capture the ore refinery at the exact moment the harvester begins depositing also ty for keeping this game alive i'll never forgive EA

thanks for the tips tg and one more thing 1:34 always send a spy (when available) into enemy barracks/war factories so you can have veteran units ^^ makes it even more sweet to rub it into yuri's face^^

BE ONE WITH YURI TG: NOPE LOL

Thank you for this great videos

Thank you for this video. Can't wait for your longplay videos of these levels. 2:15 Another useful trick in this level: don't capture the Bio Reactor to the east of your starting position (the one next to the Grinder), but keep it safe and you can send Spies into it to disable Yuri's power. 6:00 I always thought that the AI targets the largest grouping *of any unit type*. If it's only the largest *vehicle* grouping, then it makes the level a bit easier for me. 😆

Tomb Raided - garrisoning one of the smaller pyramids around the map will cause a mummy to come out. It's hostile.

last tip is legendary thx!

I think I knew about Yuri selling away all his buildings in Mission 2, but I hadn't thought about all these other ones. These tricks are amazing, especially the Iron Curtain one. That literally makes his super weapons useless.

I have a tip for a tip - in mission 6, do not destroy the fence, just use nighthawk to drop engineers behind it. With fence intact, Yuri is likeky to just ignore oil derricks.

In the last mission, infantry also works, just be sure to space them out before the genetic mutator, then clump them up once he uses it.

Power play was such an amazing mission for me in YR. The constant struggle to capture and defend power plants to power up your super weapon was a great challenge. I wish this mission had an MO equivalent seeing MO is insanely challenging.

what i did there was actually just spam paratroopers in a ridge line in between Yuri's base, it forced even the psychic dominator to get used over there and also help stop incoming attacks on the Allied base and constantly just drop in new paratroopers

Watching this in 60fps is absolutely satisfying

One other thing I noticed: during the 1st mission, you can also sell the SpySat uplink in addition to the 4 GCs and Ore Purifier. IIRC, 1 Power Plant is then sufficient to activate the time machine. It's a small thing, sure, but it is one less engineer to have to defend.

For Mission 3: It is actually 100% possible to prevent Yuri from *_ever_* launching a nuke on this mission, thus you can have 2 War Factories for the entire mission. It requires some fucking ridiculously perfect execution, but is possible.

If you sell everything you only need 1 reactor :^)

Ahhh, the troll barrack capture. One of the moments of RA2. *You know why always stop a engineer when you see it. Commanders.*

"Timelines merging in 3...2...1..." HOW!? HOW could you possibly know that???!

In my Allied playthrough At the 7th mission I didn't build a radar tower because i knew if i did, Yuri would start building his freaking UFOs and both of his superweapons at an instant, So what i did is capturing the oil refinery, And spent a lot of time defending and fortifying both sides Yuri attack from, Using the garrison buildings, Walls and LOTS AND LOTS of flak tracks (Flak tracks instead of Flak cannons because they don't require power, And they can be promoted and faster + cheaper to build) So after all that is set and done, I built the radar tower and quickly built everything else, I didn't care for the allied base, I just built the MCV before selling what's there, After like an hour, I noticed that the area where the allied base is set is filled with tanks, Masterminds and Yuri's clones, Like in huge amount, Buuuut used the superweapon to wipe them out cause i know i'll be asked to destroy Yuri's troops after taking care of the base, So i've chronosphere'd 6 Prism Tanks behind the Psychic Dominator and took out the major threat Anyway, That was a GG

Now I'm ready to return to the campaigns! :D

when i played on easy that's what i discovered: in the last mission when your allied mcv appears quickly sell it, another one with reinforcements will appear, repeat the process and you get lots of allied tanks for free.

I only found out about the Aircraft carriers in the 1st mission when I was toying around and killed Tanya on purpose...don't ask me why I had a tendency of destroying mission objectives what you were supposed to defend and such....for fun... Ohh and I think she can die in the 4th mission as well if I'm correct. Dunno about the Soviet mission where she appears. Need to take her out with Boris at a later date.

Hehe good stuff, I knew nearly all of them, the seal in mission 5 was a good tip.

In mission 7 - Brain Dead; if you're quick you can ambush the Yuri base in the bottom left with a few engineers, and capture Yuri's cheaty spawn base as it's appearing - and aquire all 3 tech trees. You can the do a Picard maneouvre* on the main Yuri base. *(Storm, Nuke, Chrono a group, iron curtain the group, psychic dominate).

2:34 Tip 3: Rush to the closest Power Plant to the Weather Control Device and either destroy or capture it. The Nuclear Silo will be disabled before it can fire even once.

In power play, if you are fast enough and capture/destroy one of yuri's tech powerplants and use you WCD on the main power supply in the yuri base. You can save the war factory and get the other later on.

Tip #3 for final Allied mission. Chronosphere a group of robot tanks to the Psychic Dominator, as soon as they arrive use the iron curtain on them. Destroy the the Dominator (must be done in this order, units with the iron curtain on them can't be teleported)

I can already see myself iron curtain too late on the last tip and having a really bad time

4:02 also you can capture building in top to repair your vehicles.

dude you're awesome

A recent revise shows that in mission 1 if you do sell those four grand cannons before capturing enough power plants, at least on my run, it would not go straight into time shift, but asks me to capture more. I end up capturing all power plants then the mission is stuck.

3:03 There is also another power plant to the south of the war factory which you can capture to get your Lightning Storm to stay online

Good stuff

3:15 Yuri: it would be necessary to gather troops and hit the commander. Me: In a pike command, in my opinion *Be one with Yuri* *Troops subordinate with the help of the Psi Dominator destroy Yuri's MCV* Yuri: 6:32 .

In Brain Dead, if you sell the chronoshifted Allied MCV, they will send you another one with another set of escort tanks. Great move for stocking up on free Mirage Tanks.

Mission 6 Trick or Treaty - you can capture hospital (not really necessary) and repair shop. Supplemented with prism towers it can destroy quite a few of Yuri base structures once map enlarges. And with power plants + prism towers you can extend prism range effectively destroying base without units involved. Mission 7 - you can build up your forces and cash reserves before you build radar dish, iirc several objects of the same time has synergies to build/training time so if you build up soviet base with several barracks, factories and mcv then after building up radar dish you can extend allied base really fast (along with defenses like grand canons). That of course make 1st part of the mission longer but it's way easier in the second part.

It should be said that in the fourth mission, Yuri combines usually go between the base with the Psi-Dominator and the left edge of the map. I was pleasantly surprised when the spy brought into the harvester brought me 36 thousand, however, judging by the amount of money in your account, you knew about it.

@3:51 dory appears asking if you’ve seen a clown fish *all dolphins console each other nodding their heads* *all dolphins 🐬 🐬 🐬 🐬 open fire *

It's quite obvious, but you should destroy the trees in mission 7 to make more space for buildings. Also the psychic dominator will only launch when there are units that can be controlled, so if you don't have any, it will never launch. To provoke it to launch, build a barracks far away from base and train a conscript.

In Power Play, there's a neutral Civvie Power Plant south of the one Civvie Power Plant you control, use the Engineer in that group to capture it... And yeah, use the Weather Control Device to destroy the Bio Reactors and then clear out and capture one of Yuri's Civvie Power Plants to shut down the nuke...

Ahh yes, the version with the patched civilian voices. It ain't the same without "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh ready for round one."

cant wait to see the soviets one if have

Love the end....

Don forget the LAX in the hollywood and vain. Btw yuri will sale most of his structure after no production facility remain on his main base. The one in the beach somewhat didnt count. In mission 5 try capture some repair shop on the beach. It will give you an ore field, an outpost, beside the repair bonus.

3:39 select the navy seals then press hold ctrl and alt then select it on empty area near the naval base, the seal automatically attack the submarines without your control

Just saying - it's kinda impossible to ic / shield dominator's use when you play online (cuz of delay)

The mission to save einstien if you take to long yuris units will destroy the power plants for you thus getting him out. Its a few gatling tanks.

In Mission 7 Brain Dead, Yuri will not use Psychic Dominator, Genetic Mutator and Floating Disc as long as you don't build a Radar Tower. You can build as many MCV and War Factories as you want before building Radar Tower. If you do this, you can build the Allied base at max speed.

The psychic dominator exploits... Yeah. But make sure there is no other unit close each other or else you're destroyed...

Soon will be 2021 and love the game from the first time ever play, it just that good!

So do initiates have a longer range in garrisoned buildings?

The second idea I have used since the game was just released a few years ago

Quick question, during the final Allied mission, if you sell off your Allied ConYard, don't you get extra allied units autodeployed?

Tip 3 power play: Use soldiers and tanks to reach bilding close to electric station. Destroy it and stop first rocket.

On the seattle mission, you can weather storm the bio reactors and rush the first reactor to stop yuri from ever firing the nuke. i got the timer to stop at 19 seconds last time :v

Will you cover mental omega or are just interested in Yuri's?

in the allied last mission, losing the allied base will result in sending reinforcements with mcv and tanks, tested 100% XD ofc i did that on purpose. plus if u didnt build a radar, enemy yuri will not show its superwepeaon resulting in more time to build non advance things on ur base inculding the caputure of that island.

I was able to prevent the launch of the nuclear missile in Seattle when I played, I quickly took over a power plant and destroyed the bio reactors before he could launch it.

What will happen if the phychic dominator activated in mission 1?

nice

For mission 4 Tomb Raided, I have the easiet solution. First, swim across the river with Tanya and blow up the barrel next to the wall. Destroy everything around the pyramid. Einstien will come out. After a cutscene, use Psychic Dominator on grouped 6 Yuri Lasher tank. Take control of the tank and immediately destroy the Construction yard and barrack. Why? No con-yard means no construction, no barrack means no more yuri clones. Back at your base, just build 6 prism tanks and spy satellite and wipe everything leftovers. For last mission, dont build radar until you're ready. Yuri will constantly use Psychic Dominator and Genetic Mutator on any random available units. Just build 1 harmless unit (1 flak truck + 1 conscript) and lead it far away from your base. Make sure there is no other unit except these 2, forcing Yuri to dominate it. Yuri will dominate and take control of this unit, wasting its destructive power on an easy killable unit. In the meantime, build a spysat and chronospehere. Build 6 prismtank and teleport behind the psychic dominator outer walls and destroy it. And then build 4ifvs loaded with crazy ivan, teleport it to genetic mutator. You may also destroy their conyard by using same method ifv+ crazyivan.

Though this game is old, these videos are useful, can you do this type of video with the Soviets?

What were the names of the movie stars? They took out the names in an update

6:02 Yuri: Be one with Yuri. Prism tank: Daga kotowaru!

Erm... What about the cutscene if you direct her towards Nuclear Power Plant in Mission 1?
