Ok, after initial immediate purchase I just got to play it finally. I am just a bit confused - what the hell is that advanced tutorial? I can't figure out anything there.
For a while I couldn't either (the level to the right of the first one, right?) Move the little ship to stand beside each of the three red big ones, and they'll talk to you and do random tutorial stuff with you. They'll spawn a bunch of units for you to do your newly learned commands and techniques with. It's pretty short, but it took me a while to understand as well.
Glad to help. That's pretty much the end of my Red Conquest experience as I haven't gotten much further than that. Hopefully I'll find some time to squeeze in some game time later on today.
I am having trouble on the third mission of campaign o.0. They always wipe me out before I can even get anywhere. If I try to build up either a defense or offense I get mobbed and loose it all. I just end up spawning a whole bunch of guys. Getting killed. Spawning a whole bunch of guys. Getting killed. Until they eventually overtake my base. Any tips?
I am in awe of this game..... its really good. But as I play I am having a hard time figuring out what all the commands do. But the funny thing is one I feel that I thought I have seen all the commands I find another menu. I think a 1 page pdf would be a good idea to show all the commands with a brief description of each. The Tutorial modes just go over the top level of commands and not the nested ones. Thanks for RC! its my Fav game now.
finally a really good rts on the ipod. great job dev. @jakooistra are you planning on adding more units in the future expansins?
The Developer said that the game is eposodic and 3 more campaigns will be coming out as free updates.
Damn, this game is AWESOME but a piece of advice to all the other starting players - this game is already super complex so don't let your pride keep you from slowing down the game speed until you get used to it!
Play the campaign, at the end it will show a trailer for the next episode (free update)... You may something interesting there...
I loved the 4th mission where they just come after you Just build a line of Battleships and let the enemy come into you
Yeah do a 1v1 match with a Bot and slow down the gamespeed if you need to, it really helps you get used to it before you can comfortably do your own thing during the missions. A deeper sort of tutorial would be nice, although they do give little explanations and you can pretty much learn them all just by going through each little command. Takes time but it pays off in the end.
Just move to the right destroying the enemy scouts. This game is great, the campaign is a bit short but the challenges and skirmish add plenty of replay value. My two suggestions would be a separate skirmish mode. (Same as multiplayer with bots but with a simpler interface) and control groups, I find it annoying when I select all 4 cruisers and 2 carriers manually, then go somewhere else and lose what I just did. I love this game even more than I liked blue attack and am eagerly awaiting the updates!
Level 1 is a tutorial, man. no building until level 2. And then you *have* to build, or you can't defeat the enemy army.
Both of these things are definitely on my todo list after hearing all the post-launch feedback. how are you faring in the challenge modes? Survival is my favourite, I like not being able to lose even a single unit there might be campaign missions like that in the next episode, so you should practice up on it....
ah .. well there were a couple cutscenes and then I get one big red thing (iono if it's called a harvester or foundry or etc ) and I dunno what to do next
