Took me like 15 years on/off just to beat the campaigns on standard and some of those expansion campaigns are borderline bullshit
I've beaten all of them on hard.
Lemme tell you, there is no borderline. They are bullshit and you must embrace the bull shit to win.
I remember one specific campaign I was stuck until I had the thought to tc drop the ai then won.
Then there was one where you had to like escort 5 different transport ships from the edge of the map to your base, and before each wave came you had to speed run to make a path. I saved after each successful wave so wouldn't have to start over after each fail.
Another one was like "no castles or walls allowed! This is about army" but they didn't block building bombard towers, so....
Woah man that's impressive. I've played through the HD campaigns (their DE versions) and currently am doing the DE campaigns. Everything on standard. I want to do it all on hard but I don't like losing so hard lol
I remember the 5 ships mission. I beat it by blocking the first ship in the starting area with my own ships, so it would never reach the destination. I then slowly constructed a base and defeated all enemies before eventually letting that first ship cross. I never thought about saving between each shipment lol. Would have helped me beat it the "right" way.
Maybe I should shift to hard difficulty. But based on what you say it seems like a lot of pain will be waiting for me that way
If I had thought of your method, I would have done that.
The save scumming method was painful. That mission broke me... and is also what I suggest to people do as a joke to mess with people.
