Playthrough of Mental Omega 3.3.4 Epsilon Fan Mission Wrest Pearl on Mental DIfficulty
Wait, what? Alstar? Recording Fan Missions? Did hell just froze?
At first, im sorry once again for inactivity. Wargroove came out and im enjoying the hell outta it - will probably record a playthrough.
So, Fan missions. Usually i didnt paid bigger attention to them, mostly played them out of curiosity but never recorded. Some of them were hectic and unappealing. This pack of missions, made by WanNiang brought my attention however so i decided to give it a try. Same as Martinoz, it seems, who released a video about other mission from that pack.
There is no translation, everything is in chinese so i''l provide the objective list here:
OB1: Infiltrate any Field Bureau.
OB2: Construct the base
OB3: Destroy all Russian forces.
Note: If you fail OB1, mission is continued
Note 2: Only Russian forces (red) must be elliminated.
And off we go. You start with 3 spies, so targets for your infiltration are simple - Factory, Barracks and Bureau. You can most likely get to all of bureaus easily, but i already memorized how to enter upper one.
Make sure to infiltrate Bureau as last, because after you do it, mission will progress. Reinforcements will appear, and you will be given an objective of setting up your bse - you have a preparation time to do so, so act quickly. Use siege ships to take out power plants and defenses, Naval force to deal with Naval yard and subs, and Invaders/Basilisks to clear the area farther into outpost. Land your transoprts. deploy the MCV farther away and preapre for defense.
Make sure to capture the Tech Nuke Reactor to shut down entire Yellow power grid. You can capture some of structures to obtain soviet tech, which is not really helpfull but frees you some place for construction. Your main defense line should consist of Gattlings, both tanks and cannons, Gehennas, Psychic Towers and Adepts - with Chimera Core on top of that. You will need all the money, so place grinder close by and grind all of soviet units that come under your control. In meanwhile, start a production of Basilisks. You will need a lot of them, about 15-20 - just to destroy the Nuke Silo, that will appear in top left corner of map inside Confederation Base (Orange). Once you collected your army, head towards nuke and destroy it before it will have a chance to fire. In meanwhile maintain your defenses and start massing Squids.
Next step is hampering the rebuild ability of Red AI, You will need a lot of squids to deal with navy forces left inside the base, so spam away, with a bunch of Resheps as addition. Force your way inside and destroy red navy while your Resheps bombard the shore - Target fire the ConYard and you will be good to go.
Last part s destroying all Russian production. Your factories should be producing Invaders and Basilisks. Once you feel that you can sweep everything, just proceed with cutting the power grid by destroying 2 Nuke Reactors on top of the map. Then just sweep through the island in search of any production structures. Once last of them is destroyed, AI will sell out and go into all to hunt mode - to lure them into one place, use the Risen Inferno power or Instant Shelter on shore and amass all your aerial units there. Once all red units are destroyed, mission is accomplished.
Holy hell, thats a long wall of text i wrote.
