Nueva Torguga Diffculty

[The Knight At Arms]

Anyone else suddenly come up to the difficulty spike as my guys die so much quicker unlike the enemy. Even on vehicles kills, it drops like a couple guys with automatics and my guys won't even be able to kill them before losing at least 3-4 guys. I managed to acquire the tank but to use it, you have to get close which has laser rifles men/APCs/Plasma turret Humvees only to have anti tank squads nearby to instantly cripple it.

I hope I'm not just imagining it but how am I suppose to succeed, when all my units are bad and can barely shoot or survive long enough?

There is way to make the mission way easier:
1-During the cartel infiltration phase, win arena fights and buy best weapons for mason and church squads
2-When you become a cartel go to the southeast area of the map and liberate the prisoners
3-Use the prisoners to capture all abandoned vehicles in the map and put them somewhere safe (best would be near luiz position)
4-Use your guerilla squad and plant C4 near enemy positions
5-Infect the legion in the center, they will lcear a god chunk of the enemy
6-When the part where the cartel becomes hostile starts, press pause and detonate the C4, it will reduce the attacking force considerably leaving you breathing room when going for the helicopter

agreed this mission is really rough. im going to turn the difficulty down and see if that helps if not i may just hang it up and play something else less frustrating. i have had to restart like 25 or more times cause i kept getting slapped and losing to many troops its insanse.

I got to the helicopter and it left. Then I realized I wasn't protecting Luiz, who immediately died. Last checkpoint 25 minutes ago. Turned the game off after that.

Don't know if I even want to try and redo all of that again. Wtf were they thinking with this mission, legitimately one of the worst RTS missions I may have ever played. I went from really enjoying this game to thinking about asking for a refund, depending on if the rest of the game is filled with terrible missions like this.

I know that feeling so well. I say that then after I cool down and return back lol

Yep, Tortuga is the first and probably largest spike in difficulty.

Its one of 'those' RTS missions where you're expected to learn and follow a specific script to beat the mission.

Yeah I did the exact same, had a great push only for the enemy to swarm Luiz.

I don't see how to complete it. My infantry can't do anything to simple bandits and for some reason Striker with grenade launcher dies in seconds.

Once you reach Luiz - first beat the forces at the armory. That will give you quite a bit of new squads.

Once you did that - position your anti-tanks (you'll get a fancy recoil rifle squad) on the cliff and some cannon fodder in the buildings and wait for initial cartel squads to hit Luiz location.

Beat these. Possibly by kicking crew out of vehicles and capturing them later. RPGs can set a vehicle on fire while recoil rifle can simply wipe it out. Cars on fire eject crew which you can wipe out.

Once you are fended these off - head to the firing range where you might have heard gunshots. A few more squads will join you and a very valuable supply truck is there as well.

Then you can assemble your forces and start climbing up the hill to get the chopper. The timer for chopper will trigger only when you reach the first buildings on the path.

Send RPG teams first, then guerillas and militias. Clear buildings by assaulting them! Deal with vehicles first and crews if able to. DON'T get into cliff-side buildings - this will trigger Jail defenders to attack you.

Keep pushing up. Use your heavy squads with BMG / AGL (if any) on the last few buildings on the path. There is a rather empty chunk of this path leading to the top where you'll lose your infantry if not supporting it. Top is easy.

Fun part starts next when you are forced to wipe ALL cartel forces from the map :D
Get reserves deployed. Advance carefully. If you have arty - use it wisely. If not - last few steps for you would be very hard... Use guerillas and your founder squads (Mason especially) to assault buildings.

And remember - Church and Mason MUST survive. That is not said anywhere, so keep that in mind.

Where can i find supplies for them? They are all out of ammo.

Put them in trucks, or capture supply trucks.

Quick save my beloved

What helped: You can change the Difficulty on the fly.

Story mode will still have you ducking and hiding how easy the game picks off your troops.

I understand making you work but the games not balanced correctly.

[The Knight At Arms]

I managed to get to the heli first before everyone turns hostile, but then the intergators turn hostile after my forces arrive and one shot my vehicles, who are already fighting against a mass horde of vehicles, anti tank and more.

Well, on 1 positive note: Everyone has completely different experience with mission.
