Sir Topham Hatt Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 So, I have had Red Alert 3 for a while, but I got stuck on a level so got quickly bored. I think it was the RUssian one where you get loads of money in the beginning, but then the russian boss guy takes it all back. I must have been about an hour only just fighting off, but a very slow painful death was all what I was heading towards. SO, I thought I would get back into it by playing a couple of skirmish missions. In RA2 and Yuri's Revenge, I could take on 6 enemies, 2 being of the Medium brutality. However, now in RA3 I played against 3 easy computer players and found that I was loosing rather a fair amount. I don't know if it is just me out of practice, the new restructions inthe game or what, but it seems a lot more difficult to distroy people. Prism towers are no longer as powerful as they used to be :/ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Actually, my friends and I agree. We used to get the three of us together and take on brutals, and now we struggle in RA3 with mediums. The enemies are so much better coordinated than ever and they like to gang up on one person while sending enough units elsewhere to keep the other players busy. We have found though that they seem to build less base defenses than in previous games. So basically while the one guy's fending for his life (usually me) the other two would go and attack and not have a very hard time of it. I know it doesn't work in single player, but it's the best startegy we've come up with so far in coop multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted March 14, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 14, 2009 I guess that goes to show how much AI has improved over the previous games. The enemy computer is definitely smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dc'1 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 When I first played this, I got stuck on level one... Never played it again lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanToby Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I love hard AI. Is this game good, worth buying? I am looking for another RTS, I've played supreme commander so much.... I liked the original Red Alert, I skipped 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 why? 2 was very good. 3 is really good too, but a bit different than the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Topham Hatt Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hard AI is alright, but when it is set on "easy" i expect it to be easy :p For instance, "easy" enemy on RA2 never built a super weapon and only built limited tanks and people. It's just a shame, but I guess it'll keep me playing RA2 for a good while, especially now I have worked out how ot run it in widescreen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimmi Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 i agree, i played Uprising yesterday with few easy computers ( :-) ) but imho they are harder that they have ever been... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well, last night us 3 got together and took out 1 medium, then 2, then a hard, then a brutal, then 2 brutals, then 3 brutals, then we ended up losing the next 3 matches against the 3 random brutals. I also learned that the japanese have no air defense unless you build the units for it. The turrets don't shoot in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy beef Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I failed that mission the first time because of being caught of guard. Second time through hard, I built a barracks while the general was still on my side in his base, and started massing rockets, and tesla troopers. I took me less than minute to annihilate him when he turned on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kussie Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I also learned that the japanese have no air defense unless you build the units for it. The turrets don't shoot in the air. You do know you can switch the Empire turrets to air defense mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 You do know you can switch the Empire turrets to air defense mode? I didn't. I just found out about an hour ago *feeling dumb* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Veteran Posted March 19, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2009 I felt the game provided a decent challenge as opposed to some scripted computer player which you could always plan defence/attacks for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
