Rising sun is freaking garbage

[rolypoly]

I don't know how this is possible to play. Their units are utter garbage. They die instantly, they have no counter units for any of the other nations.

You just don't know how to play them. I catagorize them into three catagories of strength, Army, Navy, and Airforce. Soviets = Airforce, ERS = Navy, Allies = Army. Try to utilize the Rising Sun's Navy as much as possible as i find that is where they are strongest if you cant, their army is good if there is large amounts of units.

The Empire is not exactly good for direct engagements, but has infuriating harrassment options. Either play them super-aggressively, or not at all. The Tengu is one of the best harrassment units there is. Honourable discharge makes them worthwhile even when destroyed.

I'm just trying to play the campaign, and got stuck on the mission where I have to defend hawaii.

I'm trying to play amsterdam right now. Its freaking impossible. If you build your buildings close together, they get taken out by the proton collider. the Nanobot shield doesn't work either, for some reason. If you build them far apart you cannot defend against their century bombers. I had 6 or 7 anti air turrets up and they still pulled off a full bombing run. I keep units to defend against them, but then I cannot take any for a counter offensive. They harrass with a few land units that aren't too much trouble, but I cannot use any air related abilities, and there's nowhere to build a Navy that can take out that first airbase. Not to mention they have their Athena canons across the river which can snipe pretty much everything. I cannot take them out, once again, because of no access to air. I'm not sure how to pull this off.

By the way this is on Easy Difficulty alone, and coming from someone who's played almost every other CnC game on the hardest difficulty.

...all mission is that easy...just upgrade to tier3...then you use yumiko for anti infantry and some tsunami tanks for guards and 2-3 wave force artillery for longrange attack...

Plant some anti air turret/Striker VX near the river and put yuriko for extra defense.for the proton colliders i use final squadron to target its power supply to disable it( i actually had been shot by the proton collider once and killed my anti air unit and yuriko because there was a cutscene and i cant move them XD) .to destroy the airbase faster,use wave force cannon to destroy the defenses then charge some king oni to kill their unit. Dont forget to bring anti air to defend them.you dont actually have to build navy units in my opinion because its more effective and most of the base that close to the river are well protected

Rising Sun is the best faction in the game. Make a dozen of Rocket Angels as soon as possible and rock on!

I like your idea

[Liobuster]

nobody seems to like microchallenges like sneaking in 5 stealthtransports full of archermaidens and the tankkillers

There are certain trigger points in the harder campaign missions that can allow you to control the flow of events, giving you time to tech up and over power. That's how I beat the campaign on hard(ps4). At one point Lissette even tells you off for 'Cheating' lol. "...and I thought you Japanese were supposed to have Honour!"

[Liobuster]

yeah u gotta reach a certain point on the map or build a certain building
i remember a Tiberium Nod mission where u were requested to build an Obelisk of Nod (a defensive structure) aslong as u didnt build any of those u could do pretty much everything...like building an airport and bombing the hell out of the enemy base over time

I personally hate the Empire aswell. But playing them still can be fun. Their strength is that they can completely restructure their army in a second. Have a bit of everything and simply outmatch the enemy with the abilities.

Examples:

-Appollos make you have a hard time? Send in Choppers, as soon as they get attacked, morph them into strikers and get them down.

-Enemy Base has alot of flak guns? Quickly send in tengus that fastly land and take them out safely

Perhaps lure the enemy into a place where the morhing gets you the fitting advantage. Also Yuriko can take down ANY air unit with ease, simply place her in a house and fill in 2 tankbusters and 2 warriors with their carbines. Also, against the soviets use the upgrade that makes your enemies explode on death. you might lose units when the apocalypse tanks runs the over but the tank still takes damage, even with grinder chains.
