Re: Command And Conquer: Red Alert 2 (Portable)

The gameplay twist within the campaign is the addition of a co-commander. If you play on your own, this position will be granted to an AI player of a fair level of competence, and you'll be able to issue basic one-click commands, such as "hold this spot" or "attack this structure." There are also some contextual commands when mission objectives get more intricate and require very specific actions, such as destroying a reactor or capturing a building. This addition makes the largest campaign missions feel wonderfully dramatic, with engagements scattered across the map involving not just your own units but friendly ones as well. It also adds a bit more oomph to the light puzzle-solving missions so common to the genre ("take these three units and follow these specific instructions"), because it requires the assistance of your compatriot. On the other hand, it makes the campaign easier than you would expect, seeing as how your AI comrade will usually buy you enough time to rebuild if you make a costly mistake.
What's more remarkable about Red Alert, however, is how the game generates such variety from a handful of ingredients. Each side only has a few units and buildings, but every mission is creatively structured and carefully crafted to spin the game's simple base-building and simpler combat in different ways. In one mission, you first must guide a spy through Soviet patrols to release Tanya from a prison, before directing a vanguard of infantry and engineers to capture a small Soviet base, which you then use to destroy a much larger base. On the Soviet side, there's a mission that sees you controlling a small team of infantry attempting to reclaim a Soviet nuclear reactor commandeered by the Allies. The mission kicks off like an action movie, with your team being chased down by Allied forces before a huge explosion rips through the facility.
Plus groups of units are now more coordinated, with a formation system that allows for 8 different combat configurations for the groups of units that the house provides. Lastly, while the states and strategies of the house AI are largely the same, the one notable element is the IQ system. Red Alert AI utilises a system for the IQ of a computer-controlled commander. This IQ is largely used to allow for the House to know whether it has access to specific features. The likes of aircraft and superweapons are only available if the AI house passes specific IQ thresholds. There is some evidence of this over in the Tiberian Dawn codebase, but how much of this is as a result of the duplication of the Red Alert code is difficult to determine.
The Allies continued using them during the Third World War and its second iteration. This time, they were also used as sabotage units to wreak havoc in enemy bases, and were able to steal credits from enemy commanders, removing the need for Thieves.
Construction Yard
Cost: $2500 (MCV) Power: 0 Prerequisites: none
The heart of every base is the Construction Yard. This structure is responsible for the creation of all other buildings in your base, from simple walls to the technologically-advanced Battle Labs and superweapons. Because this building controls your ability to expand your base and acquire new technologies, the wise commander protects it at all costs and at all times. In many missions, you will start with a Construction Yard already in place, while in others you will begin with an MCV and must deploy it to begin building.
