Dynasty Mission 6 Harvesting Duty Difficult?

[depdog0932]

WTF is this mission, Friendly AI cannot defend themselves better? and I have to not only protect my base but theirs as well? But I have to be on the offensive at the same time. WTF.

I have tried to clear areas as fast as I can(destroy everything) but I think I noticed that some of the GDFs forces come from areas on the map, not from bases.

Just when I am ready to go on the offensive, the GDF just attacks everywhere at once and friendly AI cannot do anything except get steamrolled.

IDK, maybe venting

It took me a while as well (playing on normal). I found destroying the surrounding bridges (the ones that can be destroyed) helps to funnel attacks through certain spots, making it easier to manage. Set up some walls, salvage vans and missile turrets in key areas, ie the entrances where you get attacked.

get salvage vans put them next to the def of the other bases put them in to buildings then build youre own def in the area of the Salvage building so they get healed then start from bottom then make youre way around from left up to right and kill everything

Did not know that the bridges can be destroyed. That might help. What destroys them?

I haven't got to that mission yet. But it is the same in GDF mission design. Enemy units seem to just spawn out of nowhere to attack your base when there is no enemy base on that side.

I started putting salvage vans in the friendly bases and built defense turrets. Still did not help.

Troops/Vehicles. I blew up the bridges before testing Aircrafts. You have to force attack the bridge. When you hold down Ctrl and hover over a bridge, destroyable ones will show a health bar.

In the GDF campaign enemies often get reinforcements via helicopters that land at predesignated locations. If you know where they come from you can set up AA and destroy them before anything lands. Sometimes forces also come from land, but they also come from predesignated locations.
Not that they come from or attack the same route every time, though. That part seems randomized.

woah i forgot you could destroy bridges. Played on insane diff and had to make deployed salvage vans, mass turrets (missile most) , 3 purpucurine tanks and 1 shieldmaiden (stolen plans) for each spot. every attack i spammed repair bot

"deployed salvage vans, mass turrets (missile most)"...

Same here pretty much, just without the shieldmaidens. Threw in a couple flamer throwers, but honestly as you've probably noticed, throw up enough missile turrets and infantry will crumble.

I managed to beat that level on hard after ensuring every chokehold had Missile vehicles and turrets spamming it. Once you take out the first base, it's a cakewalk.

This one is not difficult, just try to use mine which only cost 350. PLace mine all around place where enemy will spawn. Try to push instead of just defend, get the long range weapon from factory keep upgrade and unlock stronger unit. U need more than 4 refinery and u need atleast 2 factory 2 barrack. Dont ever let your resources sitting and piling keep making unit, once your unit reach max u will have too much resources and u will clear the mission.

I have beaten the level, thank you everyone for the tips!

I just beat this on insane. You need to destroy the bridges in the north. Two of them. Then you can much easily defend the 3 chokes to the north and south of your base and the one by the northern base. Without destroying the bridges the mission is nigh on impossible. After that it's a lot more manageable.

I did it via Air superiority on hard. That first chopper destroys everything on the ground.
