Just thought I'd toss this up for anyone wanting to see more of my mod to RA2 in action. I was playing around on a skirmish map the other day and I thought that maybe the great insane awesomely craziness ridiculousness that was experienced would be of entertaining value. The AI is continually impressing me in new and different ways. So it starts in the middle of the game, and shows off some of the strangeness and adaptability the AI has to my stuff. I was just fooling around in my down-time playing with this. It also shows off how vicious the AI is now that I've tweaked its settings. Also note wildly rollercoastering money funds. Go from 40K to 0 then back up again.The AI also tends to go after my Engineer IFVs, which is great, it shows they recognize higher value targets beyond firepower. And yes, Yuri's stuff is still stupidly overpowered. No commentary on this one. Map - Arena ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCcKpm5RDe8

"We have to navigate through the city... jungle of boxes." I have been longing to do this one for a long time, I know I already did a straight playthrough but this will be a lot of fun. This is literally the first PC game I ever played and the game that introduced me to the BattleTech world. We're going to go really deep in here and explore what makes MechWarrior 2 such a classic. https://www.patreon.com/L1011Widebody ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhQqqdaLL8Y

You guys are gonna love this one. "Plus one bonus to heat sinkerage... sinkerage, that's a word right?" MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries is a stand-alone game that really kicked the MechWarrior franchise into overdrive. Now the campaign is dynamic, because you're the one choosing the contracts, and it all plays out just before the Clan Invasion. You get to play a role in various conflicts of your choosing, and it's all so full of BattleTechness it's probably out of critical slots. A few quick notes to get you up to speed on what I'll be doing, after all, speed is life. You go slow, you die. I'll be playing the original DOS version with my original Mercenaries CD, so you'll be getting the real authentic experience as if you'd just opened the box like it were September 30th, 1996, just like I did because I'm friggin' old! I'll probably be saving and dying a lot, I'll try to play out as many missions as possible, because I don't want this to just be any other run-through. Mercenaries was a stand-alone game, so there are some gameplay adjustments. You have a new EVA, the weapons all sound new, you can have up to five groups of weapons, mechs can fall down (that's bad, by the way), and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. Also super special thanks to Sarna.net for providing the various extra graphics and such. And also it wouldn't be a proper Mercenaries video without me selling out so check out my book at https://www.rabbitvalley.com/item/9574/Foxhunt-By-Rich-Hanes or Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Foxhunt-Rich-Hanes/dp/0578026058/ and you can read the first chapter for free at https://www.writing.com/authors/l1011widebody as well as some other stuff, if you like BattleTech and MechWarrior you will definitely love my writing! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS5DzgctRUE
