Theta Civilian Rescue is simply unplayable solo
-
Definitely possible to beat solo, though sometimes you might get some really bad RNG at the start that could make you restart. Gun ACU and flaks solve most of the problems.
-
@FtXCommando You dount have enough mass to upgrade ACU, and furthermore, you dont have enough time to do it.
Tried like 10 times, no way to beat without cheats or mods -
Wait till you get to minute 20 and learn there is a fucked up drop of 6 loyas and 20 rhinos on your base.
-
aren't there replays available to see how other player has completed the mission?
-
I've beaten it solo multiple times, it's very difficult but doable.
Now Blockade is a mission I've been unable to crack solo
-
Took a few attempts, rng is definitely heavy with this one and I'm not sure why. Still a difficult mission though, as with all custom missions on hard difficulty. They are intended to be a challenge for experienced players

Tried like 10 times, no way to beat without cheats or modsI’ve beat it like 2-3 times in the past, I don’t even think it was the hardest mission I’ve tried solo.
You definitely have enough mass to upgrade your ACU, it should be one of the first major investments you do after getting t2 land for flak

You can kill all of this with flak in the base, it’s one of the main reasons to build up the flak
I’d also say it’s a fairly reliable mission to beat after you get past the RNG first 5 minutes and have gun on your ACU. The reason for that is that AI has no ability to figure out how walls work so you can quickly wall off any way to attack your base outside of the main flat area which then just becomes a reclaim feed zone. Have flak spam around to deal with bombers and drops and you basically can do whatever you want at your leisure.

Oh, I'm not saying it's impossible or anything. Just that if you don't know it's exactly coming your way then you can get absolutely fucked by it.
Especially if you were already having trouble with the heavy RNG start. So having that drop happen can be a like a kick to the balls, out of nowhere and pretty hurtful.And yeah, it's mostly knowing about how to get that early upgrades through the RNG shit start.

I've beaten it solo; my replay is quite old but it doesn't desync: #21438319

@FtXCommando I really dont see how. Like, ACU is you primary defend unit, and when you upgrading him, you cant walk and defend your base.
To do it, you have to make a lot of units (presumably T1, cause T2 is too expensive), which is also costs a lot of mass. And it will be okay(mostly), if not T2 rockets, especially when they are coming from above where T2 patrol are going.I will soon go throught replay of @Nomander, want to see how)

I made 5 engies, 2 land scouts, then immediately started t2. flak deals with the t1 bombers wonderfully (you have to dodge though) and mongoose can deal with rhinos better than pillars. while mongoose stave off the small armies the acu can upgrade. didnt make a 2nd factory until like 10 minutes in
