$$ Soviet - Make Infantry for FREE $$   print me

First, you need version 1.006. Cover your barracks with walls all around then build a cloning faculty. When your building the unit your unit cannot come out of the barracks so you get a FULL REFUND but still get the unit from the cloning faculty. Very effective if trying to build Yuris.

super demo truck   print me

this only works if you play as cuba

first build up to get flak tracks and terrorists
then build 5 terrorists and 1 flak track
next put the terrorists into the flak track

presto now you have a super demo truck!

*Allied* The greatest defence of all time   print me

Find an opening to your base, particularly a slope or bridge. Build power plants up to the opening so that you can build defence there. Start with a wall of Pill boxes then behind that, prism towers and finish off behind that with a wall. Make sure you leave a gap for ore trucks to pass through. With this defence no enemy can even get close to your base.
w=wall, x=Pill Boxes, y=prism towers

Moderator Note: superlegendaryfart has pointed out that there are no air defenses listed here. That makes this defense vulnerable to air attacks, while sill seemingly being great against all land attacks.

*Soviet* The greatest Defence of all time   print me

Find an opening to your base, particularly a slope or bridge. Build tesla reactors up to the opening so that you can build defence there. Start with a wall of sentry guns then behind that, tesla coils and finish off behind that with a wall. Make sure you leave a gap for ore trucks to pass through. With this defence no enemy can even get close to your base.

Allied campaign cheap win (level 7 - Deep sea)   print me

In this level, an island is invaded and they make a nuclear silo. But there is a way to assure your victory mere minutes into the game.

Immediately, start building rockeeters After you get about 4-5 rockeeters, make harriers if you like. Send them to the island the soviets just invaded.

Lol, whats this, the only air defenses they have is naval, so they can't reach you. Attack the MCV/Construction yard, if all was done right they won't deploy anything more threatening then a power plant. You have to wait until they would normally deploy the nuclear power plant until you get the mission accomplished screen, but since they can make no units, and only have naval units, you have already won.


Mod Note: Another player, 007bradz, has this advice accompanying this cheat:

"Don't ONLY build rocketeers since the Soviets will send naval units into Pearl Harbour (your base) so its best to make about a dozen Destroyers and combine them with your current sea units and send them to the mouth (south of the Air Force Command) its also a good idea to put some IFV's to the very bottom of your base to shoot down the missiles from dreadnoughts."

Base Boom   print me

ok first go to a skirmish game then but only 2 teams put you as soviet as libya and pu the other team as random(and put superweapons)biuld and iron curtin and make a demo truck and it beside the enemy`s base put iron on the demo truck(s) go in the middle of the base and once the iron curtin is of....BOOM!

best demo truck   print me

you will need:

5 crazy Ivan
4 ifvs
1 amphibious transport

first,put a crazy Ivan in each ifv then, put a bomb on one and put it in the amphibious transport do that with the other ifvs

(tip:do them one at a time.)

Blow up bridges EASY   print me

Play as a soviet side, find a bridge with a bridge hut then build a crazy Ivan and get him to set a bomb on the bridge hut, when the bomb blows up the bridge will be destroyed

Construction Yard Destruction   print me

Well to make this possible you HAVE to be the allies. First get you basic base set up then as fast as you can build 3 aiforce commands. After that build the 12 jet needed to fill them all. Make sure you enemy doesnt have to many air defenses or this wont be good.....

Anyway hope fully you have a spy satelite by now and know where the enemy is. Then take all of you 12 Harriers/black eagles and tell them to attack the construction yard. If they all succesfully get there the enemys construction yard will be destroyed.

Continuos fire   print me

to use this cheat, click on a tank (works best with Appocalipses)and fire at the enemy. keep on clicking the left mouse botton on the enemy, while u are doing that click the sese button(the S button)continusly. the shells should keep coming out until u stop.

crawling bomb (Soviet)   print me

do you want a cheap way to kill an opposing ore miner plus damage the ore refinery? (best when attacking a chrono miner). Build a terror drone and a crazy ivan. order the crazy ivan to put a bomb on the drone. let the drone attack a miner but make sure it does attack it on time or it will blow the drone to smithereens. when the miner gets blown up, so does the drone but will make an explosion and damage units in a small area if necessary.

CRAZY IVAN DOUPLE EXPLOSION   print me

this cheat will only work if you are soviets. make a yuri and 2 crazy ivans. make yuri capture a bus. now make 1 ivan put dynomite on the other one and quickly put him in bus. take him to an enemy base and take him out. BOOM!!! massive explosion.


you can do the same with a terrorist or a demo truck and amphibious transport.

Desolator Destroyer (Iraq)   print me

To destroy many enemy infantry, get your desolator (or desolators) into the opponent base. (You may want to attack from behind.) As soon as you see enemy infantry in your desolator's line of sight, press d. The desolator will explode, poisoning all the land around it. If any enemy infantry touch the poisoned land, they will die instantly. This is an awesome cheat if you can get your desolator near a barracks. Be warned: the poison disappears after about 30 seconds.

destroy...your own things   print me

hold ctrl and click in your own things to destroy it....try it

DISABLE A NUCLEAR missle.....   print me

biuld a spy first (allied) the disguise them as enemies the put the spy near the nuclear missile then when the time of the nuclear missle is 00:50 or up send the spy inside the nuke then IT RETURNS TO 9:60.

easy Promotions for your units   print me

usong the allied forces attack your own war factory /battle lap/barracks.by holding ctrl
then waypoint an engineer and a spy to the buildings
note:u must waypoint the engineer first then the spy

Easy france victory   print me

alright, you know the french grand cannon? it has the ability to completly destroy some bases but the problem is getting it close enough. so get a cannon ready (power plant, barracks, ore gatherer, airport) then build a chain of power plants leading up to withnin a short distance of the ennemy base, having thos power plants will enable you to build a grand cannon right outside the enemy base! it will destroy them in under thirty seconds, back them up with some tanks, maybe even build TWO!

Extra effect   print me

Hi.Know the power up crates that sometimes appear?(if u have it on).well if ur allied,(or got chrono ivans)make a lot of chrono stuff(not miners )then,if u see a crate,let all chronos tele on it.i made 4 chronos 1 star to all on 3 star.its very effective!

Get secret units from your own battle lab   print me

Damage your battle lab a little. Take an engineer and a spy, putting the engineer just in front of the spy. Select them both, set waypoint mode, and place one waypoint near the battle lab with another one directly inside it. (This should have a "Repair" cursor.) Turn off waypoint mode and both units go inside. You will thus acquire a powerful secret unit from your own battle lab.

get yuri prime   print me

get a yuri control a spy then send the spy intro an soviet battle lab and you can build yuri prime

glitch in boot camp   print me

in the second boot camp training, set your construction vehicle near the brigde. now, a GI should be attacking it after it's deployed. build a power plant. You should see a soviet barracks in the build menu. build it. THEN build an ore refinery. then a shipyard and war factory will show up. build the war factory, and go the the vehicle menu. there will be a picture that has the red alert icon and says "missing cameo" build it. its a light tank. it may be a tank, but it works as an aircraft carrier.

Im Invincible !!!   print me

{This will only work on allied}
Build a chrono legionnaire. Put it beside your structures. When a Kirov, harier, black eagles will attack your camp, control attack the attack target of your enemy by your Chrono L and it will be invincible. Do not let it attack for too long because your structure will dissapear. This will also work when you were attack by superweapons...

Infinite Tanya   print me

Build 1 G.I and hold him. Do the same for an ENGINEER. Click on TANYA however many times you want and you can swoop the battle field!

Invincible Cars!   print me

Enter a skirmish game. Be the Soviet Union and get Yuri from the barracks. Get Yuri to mind control a car(cars are only in some levels). drive the car to the computers base. The enemies wont attack the car because they think it is a civilian! excellent thing to see what they are doing if they have a gap generator

Invincible Harriers/Black Eagle Jets   print me

Alrite...if you're playing on skirmish and u want to destroy the opponents structure superweapon etc before the attack you u probably want to get there and DESTROY IT instead of getting shot and destroyed.

This cheat only works onallies and soviet. so..

1. Choose soviet or allies and play with 2 computer opponents.
2. Capture 1 only one base(entire thing or just the construction yard then u can build the rest)
3.Once u capture a base build an air-force command and build black eagles or harriers. Then build a chronosphere and iron curtain.
5. Once both are fully charged, use the chronosphere to teleport the planes NEAR the base then iron curtain them and attack whatever OK if ya dunt get it email me.

Invincible Jets   print me

When you play as allies, you can make your jets invincible at anytime... When they're about to take off, push guard and they will try to land again but then tell them to attack. Then, when the enemy shoots at them they will be invincible. Works better on black eagles.

kill enemy infantry with ease   print me

i've noticed that some enemies place about 10 troops and dogs around their ore refinary. this could be a problem for some people. build a iron curtain and when its charged up, click on the infantry - all that will be left is skeletons

Money, Money, Money...   print me

Play allies and build a spy then get the spy near the enemy ore refinery. If you have low money just set the spy into it and you will get the last 10,000!

Never gonna repair the bridge again?   print me

to never repair the bridge again,
train a chrono legonaire(bad spelling)
and order him to attack the bridge hut by
holding Ctrl and click it. the hut disappears

Operation Car Bomb   print me

Play as the Soviets. Use A Yuri to mind-control a car. Then, bring the car and a Crazy Ivan near the enemy base. Get the Ivan to set a bomb on the car (This is possible). Then, drive the car towards an enemy building. It can lay waste to a medium size building if done correctly.

Notes: The enemy will NOT attack the car, as it is not yours on their screen.

If you are alies, send spies into your enemy Soviet and Allied buildings to get the Chrono Ivan and the Psi Commando, and you can complete this operation.

Power Down   print me

If you send spies into an opponent's base and instead of infiltrating their battle lab or war factory, send them into a tesla reactor/power plant. this will stop them being able to use prism towers/tesla coils, and will slow their production speed down considerably. Get infiltrating.

Save the war factory!   print me

Have you ever noticed when playing with superweapons that your enemy always attacks your war factory first, you can stop this assault by two ways:
1). get a chrono legionnaire to 'attack' your factory (making it indestructable)
2). sell for a full refund

Here is another way to get your enemy to attack their own base, get the paratroop option (by tech building or with the americans) then select a war factory. When the paratroopers and war factory are ready, put it in the base (using the small map in the top corner) and when they nuke/storm it they will be attacking there own base.

NOTE: you might want to wait until they are close to launching their missile/storm or else they attack it with tank etc...
you might have to sell the war factory at your base first.

screw with human enimies   print me

There are two ways to do this, but it always works better the soviets and on a map with buildings.

1) if you know the enemt is sronger then you take all of your conscripts and put one in each of the buildings you can get to. now the oppnet has to go through the map destroying evrey building to finish off your infantry possbley losing some units.
NOTE This will not work as well if they use planes to blow up the buildings but hey, they still have to recahrge!


2) build a terra drone as it is one of the fastest units, then put it in the corner, its really funny to wacth the oppenet try to cacth up to it, once my enimie had to nuke it to win!

Secret Units   print me

When you get a spy into an Allied or Soviet
battle lab, you will aqquire one of the 2:

1.If it's a Russian battle lab,you get a PSI Commando.

2.If it's an Allied battle lab,you get a Chrono
Commando.

This is the only way to get these and cannot be
trained untill you infiltrate a battle lab.

self spy   print me

get 1 of your units to force fire on any building that can be spied (but only for a few seconds so not 2 destroy the building)I.E barracks - once you have done this you will need an engineer and a spy. click your engineer then click waypoint mode and click on the barracks or building of choice then select your spy there will be a waypoint line to your barracks from your engineer click on the square box over the barracks (you should have a line from your engineer and a line from your spy) re click the waypoint button to send your guys in 2 the building then presto your troops are promoted - I suggest self spying your battle lab to get chrono commandos there a good way 2 get under ppls skin whilst playing online - enjoy

Service depot cheat   print me

If an engineer catches your service depot, do not catch it back with an engineer. wait till an enemy tank goes into the captured service depot. When he is in send the engineer in. the service depot will become yours and the enemy tank.

snti-infantry barrier   print me

(If you are the soviet)capture an allied war factory and obtain their IFV. Put yuris in 4-5 IFVs. Move these IFV to places around your base where you think is most vulnerble to infantry attacks. Tell the IFVs to force attack the ground, and the IFVs will create circles of white anti-infantry shield. When enemy infantry come they will get wiped out the moment they touch the shield. Guard tehse IFVs with prism tanks and battle tanks. Put these IFVs around the enemy's barrack:VERY EVIL.

Stop bridge repairs!   print me

To stop an enemy from repairing a bridge simply place a dolphin/squid/submarine under the broken bridge. Most of the time the enemy won't notice this. A great tactic to seal a player in.

NOTE: you use marige tanks when the bridge is over land.

super wepon defence/easy win   print me

first be koria start the game super weapons on build power plants baricks ore refinery all that junk build about 4 air force command centers fill them up with black eagle jets whene ever the enemy build a super weapon take it out also good too to take out enemy building realy fast

The Easy Time Bomb (soviets)   print me

If you are in a level with a lot of cars and you are going for a long game then get a Yuri and a Crazy Ivan. Set the Yuri on one of the cars so you can control it. Then put it close to the enemy's base. Now set a bomb on it and drive it into the base -they will not attack it. This can be really effective if you do it numerous times.

Training Allied Units (Soviets)   print me

If you capture a unit with Yuri, do not kill him, put him in Cloning Vats, then you will be able to train them.

Trojan' Bus   print me

This only works for the Soviet side. After you get the right equipment to obtain a Yuri, train him, then find a simple bus. (Usually found in the maps with the most buildings)

'The Alamo' is a good map with buses on the bottom right corner.

Anyway, take the Yuri, and have him "attack" the bus (with his mind-controlling technique) and then you can send up to 5 infantry units of any kind.

You can send it to a/an enemy's base, and his guns (turrets/units) will not shoot at it, unless the user commands them to.

Turning your harriers\Black eagles in different direction while on the landing pad?   print me

this is a sort of cheat which is really weird but funny too. every time the planes take off they always land in the same direction BUT THERES IS A WAY to make your plane land in different directions.
create 4 harriers/black eagles and select ONE plane only!!! now press the GUARD button once and u might see the plane land in a different direction. weird right??? lol

Unlimited money/Ore and jewells!   print me

This is very easy to do and will take you only a min!
1.Main menu>single player>skirmish>customize battle>random map.
2. Now make any kind of map you want, it doesn't matter what you choose.
3.Click Genorate Map
4.Click Save Map on the right side
5. Then get out of RA2
6. Go into my computer>C drive>Westwood>RA2 (if you saved your map some other place than the default, go there)
7.Find the 2 files that have your saved map name.
8.One should be just the map name and the other the map name plus .img
9. Open the file that is just the map name
10. It should be a text file
11. It will have a bunch of values for the map allong with "Tiberium" (ore/jewells)
12. That value should be about 50 or so.
13. Now change the value to about 5000
14. Now most of the map will be ore and jewells (if there is to much ore then just lower the amount

Since most of the map is ore it is very easy to get money! In a regular game ill have about 5 miners going and my money will be about 300K! I did one time set the ore ammount to 80000 but the game was very slow and unstable. Also there was no room to make any buildings. Any questions or comments email: Coopdogmb@hotmail.com

Unlock Chrono Commando   print me

Play as the Allied Army. You also need an opponent from the Allied Army, too. Build your Battle Lab as soon as it is available. Place it near your War Factory or your Barracks in case that your opponent is fond of tank rushes. Just be sure to protect your investment, as this is the key to unlock your Chrono Commandos. Once you have your Battle Lab online, train at least one Spy. Make him look like the enemy infantry. Then send him into the Allied Battle Lab of your opponent. As soon as the Spy has taken over the building, your Chrono Commando is available in your infantry list. A Chrono Commando has M16 Machine Gun and have C4 charges that can easily eliminate buildings. Chrono Commandos are better than Tanya and Navy SEAL because of these reasons:
1. They can quickly dispatch enemy infantry in one shot.
2. They can quickly take out enemy buildings with C4 charges.
3. They can quickly teleport around anywhere on the map by warping the space-time fabric, which is great for surprise attacks by sending a lot of them into the enemy base.
4. Even fifty GI's are no match against one Chrono Commando, Chrono Commandos are very quick bread-and-butter units.
5. The true power of Chrono Commandos really come through, try garrisoning them into key buildings where they can quickly chew up enemy infantry and tanks, and most of all, racks up veterancy. After all garrisoned troops are promoted, try getting them to the enemy base, destroying both infantry and buildings, proving yourself a single, outmatched opponent.
They are only expensive to produce that takes up to $1,000 per unit. Using them in maps with lots of Oil Derricks and Ore Fields is great! Go dispatch those enemy infantry and buildings!

Unlock Psi Commando   print me

Play as the Allied Army. Now, you need an opponent from the Soviet Army. Build your Battle Lab as soon as it is available. Place it near your War Factory or Barracks in case that your opponent is fond of tank rushes. Just be sure to protect your investment, as this is the key to unlock your Psi Commandos. Once you have your Battle Lab online, train at least one Spy. Of course, Spies must first disguise as an enemy infantry. Infiltrate the Soviet Battle Lab of your opponent. As soon as the Spy has taken over the building, your Psi Commando is available in your infantry list. A Psi Commando uses Ultimate Mind Control, much better than fifty Yuri Primes and has C4 charges that can easily eliminate buildings. Much of what you know, Psi Commandos are better than Yuri Primes and Crazy Ivans. Here are some important reasons why I concluded it:
1. They use their Ultimate Mind Control in every enemy units they encounter and even non-enemy units such as cars and animals which you can use to scout the enemy's base and later on, cause mass destruction on the enemy's base.
2. They can cause permanent brain death on the enemy infantry which is their second attack.
3. They can quickly take out buildings with C4 charges.
4. Even fifty Conscripts are no match against one Psi Commando, they are elite bread-and-butter units.
5. The true power of Psi Commandos really come through, try garrisoning them into key buildings where they can use their Ultimate Mind Control in very long ranges to control enemy units, this is also a great way to rack up veterancy. After all garrisoned troops are promoted, try getting them into the enemy base, causing mass destruction and dispatching enemy buildings, your opponent will go in a rage but will finally ask you for a rematch in no time! They are only expensive to produce that takes up to $1,000 per unit. Using them in maps with lots of Oil Derricks and Ore Fields is great! Have fun mind controlling and destroy nicely!

Uri Prime   print me

To get a Uri Prime, have a Russian battle lab, and then dump a spy into another Russian battle lab. You'll get a Uri Prime. They rock, because of their massive range etc.
Plus, if you have cloning vats, you can get two (!)
[The game only usually allow you to train one]

Tips:

*U*L*T*I*M*A*T*E NUCLEAR WEAPON   print me

YA WANNA KNOW DA ULTIMATE NUKE WEAPON???!!!!!
ILL TELL YA!!! BUILD NUKE SILO. BUILD NAVAL BASE.
BUILD 4 AMPHABIS TRANSPORTS. BUILD ABOUT 16-18
DEMO TRUCKS! TRAIN CRAZY IVAN AND MAKE CRAZY IVAN PUT A BOMB ON EVERY TRUCK AND PUT EVERY TRUCK THAT HAS BOMB ON IT IN AMPHABIS TRANSPORT SEND THE TRANSPORTS OFF. PUT THE TRANSPORTS IN PILE. PUT IRON CURTAINON TRANS PORTS, QUICKLY PUT TRANSPORTS IN
ENEMY BASE. RIGHT WHEN YOU SEE THE NUKE COME DOWN,
UNLOAD THE TRANSPORTS!!! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

,.-:'~^"!!!EASY WIN ON SKIRMISH (be Allied and have your opponent on easy enemy)!!!"^~':-.,   print me

This could be used with Soviet as well, i don't know because i haven't tried. you'll have to work it out your self.

firstly go into skirmish and click on random map. make a map with team continents this will create two islands (it doesn't matter what you use except superweapons which I'll come too). you can also make lots of money by making resources really high. you can now start your battle.

secondly you start building your base make sure that you have defences on the river bank because of water attacks. build up a rather large army you'll not be attacked on land but you probably will on water so you have to be quick get all of your troops and vehicles into amphibian hovercrafts. take them over to the other island (remember hovercrafts CAN go on land) unload this may take some time but its worth it then you can attack

if you want to use superweapons you should hide a construction vehicle away from the base with a small army

A 5 minuite way to do the allied Chicago mission   print me

When you begin the mission you get 6 destroyers. The first bobjective is to establish a base; ignore it! Once the grand cannons are destroyed send all 6 destroyers along the coast heading north until you come to an inlet. Sail down it ignoring all of the subs in your way. You will come to the physic amplifier, the second objective. Destroy it with your boats. The mission will then be accomplished.

A.I. gets bankrupt   print me

there is a level in the skirmish map selection that gives u a lot of money cus of all the oilfascillities i dont exactly remember the name but there is a circle of land in the middle and on all the sides there is land. its snow, after this take ur tanks that u get in the beginning and drive up to the enemy and destroy all of the bridges leading up to the enemy's base. now u take ur engineers and take as much fascilities as u can, after a while u will have insane much money, and u can build everything that u want.

AI desolator   print me

This only works if the enemy ai is iraqi. Use a yuri/yuri prime and mind control their desolator and deploy it (probably near their barracks). Then unmind control it by ctrl firing the ground with the yuri. The desolator is now the ai's but the ai will not undeploy it. It will damage all units nearby with its radiation.

Alliance Destruction   print me

This cheat will destroy anyone that you want to destroy, but are allied with. First, start off as any team,(I prefer France) and make sure build off ally conyards is on. Then, start the game and ally with someone you would like to obliverate. Next, start building a lot of defense in your ally's base, (your ally should think you are doing them a favor) like prism towers or grand cannons. (if you're france) when you think you have enough denfense to destroy a base, and withstand some of thier men or defense (if they have any) break the alliance, and watch the base crumble. Note: about only 5-7 grand cannons needed will destory a base.
Another note: This cheat will almost always work if short game is on because once the buildings are gone so are the soldiers.

Alternate Prism Tower with anti-airgun   print me

This is a effective way of defeating infantry and air units and the total cost is around $2600 but effective.

Start off as Allies and create a prism tank and order to where you want your defence, then construct a patroit missile turrent behind or side of the tank and then surround it with walls.

Automatic Win   print me

First you go to skirmish, then put the enemy on average or brutal (average is better for this to work). Next if you are making a lot of money you should buy about 30 tanks. Then you take the tanks and send them into the enemy base; the enemy won't be able to stop the attack. Then you order the tanks to attack the buildings. You may lose some tanks but that is ok.

Avoid all tanks on soviet mission 6-sub divide   print me

Move all your units back into the transports. Move them west until you see an island. Build your base there, collect all four money crates, and capture the airport. Now you avoided the tanks completely.

Battle Lab Infiltration   print me

Using a spy (or a mind-controlled spy if you are the soviets), you can infiltrate opponent battle labs. If you infiltrate an Allied Battle Lab, you are given Chrono Commando if you have an Allied Barracks. If you capture or own a Soviet Barracks, you can also create Chrono Ivan. If you infiltrate a Soviet Battle lab, you can create PSI Commando using the Allied Barracks
and Yuri Prime for Soviet Barracks.

PS: To get Chrono Ivan or Yuri Prime, you will need to capture or own a barracks of the opposite team to be able to train them. Also, unless you have a cloning vat, you can only create one Yuri Prime.

Behind Enemy Lines   print me

For the second last Allied Mission in Red Alert 2, where the enemy has three nuclear silos, you can prevent them from firing by using this trick. Build an Amphibious Transport and 3-5 spies. Order the spies to disguise themselves as enemy units and load them into the transport. Use a Chronosphere and teleport them right into their base (beside the nuclear silos). They will destroy the transport but they won't kill your spies inside because they're disguised (don't except this trick to work against a human player). You can reset the nuclear silo launch time if you wish or you can steal credits from the enemy refineries or you can wander around or you can shut off the power and reset the radar to support an attack or you can send them into Barracks, War Factories... (the Soviet Battle Lab is surrounded by sand bags). You should build a Spy Satellite first to make sure you don't land the transport near a pack of lonely dogs. You can stop the nuclear silos from firing as long as you can sacrifice the money to build a transport and spies (I prefer losing money than getting hit by three nukes). You can also delay time and build up your strike force and before attacking, use spies to shut off power, reset radar. This trick works in all missions against the computer, but for Christ's sakes, look out for attack dogs and don't forget to disguise the spies before loading them!!! The computer may get suspicious if you use this trick a hundred times or if you try something too fancy (saying hello to man's best friend with a disguised spy), it may even trap your spies in place by placing dozens of tanks and soldiers around them. But plan well and you'll have a crush on spies.

Blowing Up Your Opponent's Base   print me

This is a good way to destroy some of your opponents’ base during skirmish. First you will need to be soviet country. Then build a naval shipyard. Then buy a transporter and build 12 crazy ivans and put them into the transporter. Drive the transporter right into the enemy base and purposely let your opponent destroy the transporter. The transporter will detonate along with the crazy ivans and it will make a giant explosion and destroy most of your opponent’s base.

You might want to guard the transport well, if you dont it'll probably just get blown up before it even enters the enemy base (if i recall correctly, 3 prism towers linked will destroy it.)

build anywere   print me

When you start a skirmish or multiplayer game build only a powerplant and then move your mcv to another place make anothe powerplant here, and so you can do this overe the whole screen.

Build Both Teams Structures and Units without Capturing Enemy Buildings(Multi-Player Only!)   print me

When you play a multi-player game choose the following option for the game type Unholy Alliance(Sorry for my spellings). When this option is selected you get to choose a team that you want to be. then when the game starts you can now build stuctures from both teams (yours as well from the enemies) but please note with this trick on the speacility for your own team will only be available to you. For instance if you are the USA you can only build the Paratroopers. you cannot make a desolator.(the reaon for building both side structures is that when the game starts out you get 2 MCVs[1 is for the allies and the 2nd is for the Soviets])
go ahead and now build tesla troopers without having to risk an engineer to capture an enemy barracks etc

Build Defense Anywhere   print me

This cheat only works if you are America. First get your paratroopers ready. Then build a Prism Tower or Pillbox. I prefer the prism tower. Next click on the paratrooper tab. Then Wait a little while and click on the defense you chose. Finally click anywhere on the radar screen. The defense should be somewhere around where you clicked. NOTE: This does not always work.

Bye, Bye Terror Drome   print me

If an enemy Terror Drome enters any of your vehicles, place it in the Repair Depot and the effect of the Terror Drome will disapear and the unit that was effected will not be destroyed. (A waste of funds but is very helpful to the unit.)

A Repair IFV (IFV combined with an Engineer) can also remove Terror Drones.

cheap and better flak cannon alternative   print me

As you play any nationalty that has soviet unit, never build a flak cannon, it will take up more power and it is expensive.

A cheap 'flak cannon' is to build 3 flak troopers and surround it with walls or just make it patrol.
It is 3x the attack of a flak cannon in one hit. (I am not sure about if one flak trooper inflicts the same damage as a flak cannon does, but I recommend something cheap and effective.)

Cheap + Easy Base Defence   print me

Build 1 engineer, 1 IFV, and 3 tanks of your choice. Put the engineer inside the IFV. Put them all at the edge of the base at the point that you're most vunerable. Position them like this: x=tanks z=IFV

xxx
z

The IFV will continuously repair the three tanks when you get attacked. Plant many of these around the outskirts of the base.

Cheap Defence in soviets second last mission   print me

First of all when the mission starts send your tanks/and conscripts ahead of your base you will see a tesla coil and two flak cannons around it and there will be 2 russian power plants destroy tesla coil and flak cannon
and capture the power plants and make tesla recoarters in the sides of the mountain make tesla coil many as possible and charge all tesla recoarters with three tesla tropers and waila! they can't be able to walk in your base
Problems of kirov air ships:
To destroy kirov air ships make alot of Flak cannons where you build your Tesla coils and make plenty of flak troppers and flak cannons and when the kirov comes don't send your flak forces out of moutain so the tell your flak forces to destroy kirov's when it is in their fireing range.

Cheaper Radiation Attack   print me

Theres a cheaper way to get demolition trucks, and not be Libya.


First, play Cuba, then, you must capture an Allied war factory and get an IFV, put a Terroist(See how cheap it is?) into it, and there you go, a makeshift demo truck.


(NOTE: This also works with Desolators and Crazy Ivans)

works better for the soviets.

Chrono Ivans   print me

Listen up this is awesome. Everyone knows how to get the Commandos right, you know, sending a spy into a battle lab. Well that will only get you the regular commandos (Chrono and PSI). An even cooler commando is the Crono Ivan, it combines soviet and allied technology into one guy. To get him, you must have both types of factories with battle labs and everything. Yea, that is hard to do, but maybe you will get lucky and find a few crates like I did. Or you can just take over an enemy base if you are playing more than just 1 v 1. Anyways, once you have both types of factories, you cannot waste the opportunity of getting an Ivan chrono. When I did it, I sent a spy into an allied base, so maybe there is something different if you send one into a soviet base, but to get to the point they are awesome. They cost 1000. A full 1000 less than chrono commando, and they are destructive. Buy a lot and get them close to your enemy without them shooting, so thier chrono respawn time isnt long, then go all out. I sent around 15 into a base and they planted a bomb on everything, and my friend had to sit and watch the bombs blow. Try it.

chronosphere and iron curtain tips   print me

You must play on a map with water

Chronosphere: use your chronosphere on your enemy units and send them into the water.

Iron curtain: If you realised, iron curtain can only be used on buildings and tanks but if you use it on infantry units they die, so use it on your opponents's hard-to-kill infantry units like tanya or yuri.

Complete Radiation!   print me

If you are playing as Iraq and you have a desolater go to the area you want to render completely radiated. Press D to cause the desolater to poison the area. While he is "deployed" hold Ctrl and click on the ground near him. He will continually fire the radiation into the ground, keeping the ground poisonous for as long as he stays there. Also, if you let him poison the ground for a few minutes the ground will remain permanently uninhabitable. You will then be able to move your desolater.

Crazy Ivan IFV = Demolition Truck   print me

When ever u get ur hands on a crazy ivan just put him in a Allied IFV and u've got ur own demo truck..click wat it should attack and it will just blow it self up at the target spreading a anti-infanty field & radition...really good to cause havoc inside a base!

Creating a vehicle that does 3x the damage of a nuke   print me

Well then. Lets get our resources first! You need to be Libia in order to have this vehicle, and need water in your map. Here is a list of needs:

4 demo trucks
1 hovercraft
1 crazy ivan

The cost together is $5200! For a triple nuke thats cheap enough... Now then lets arm the vehicle! Make your crazy ivan put a bomb on 1 of the demo trucks. Now quickly put that demo truck into the hovercraft before it explodes. Do the same with the rest of the demo trucks. They will not explode till you command the hovercraft to unload its transport! Now drive to your enemy base with your hovercraft, and command them to get out!
It can destroy every single building/unit depending on how far away the building/unit is from the bomb

NOTE: I't will not explode if it is destroyed. Only if it is commanded to unload its transport!

Cripple enemy's ore collecting   print me

If you have a chronosphere, set it on the entrance to the enemy ore refinery, move your cursor over water, and when the ore miner returns, click. Voila! their ore miner is sunk! do this as many times as you want. if you do it early enough, the enemy will have spent all their money on ore miners, and not have enough to build another. they're stuck. Note: do this *before* the ore miner dumps its load. Otherwise, the enemy will still get money.

deadly navy attack   print me

this only works with aircraft carrier/dreadnaught.
ok, start building till you can get naval base.
build one and start building till you can get dreadnaught/aircraft carrier. build about 10 or 15 of them, send them behind the enemy base.
and heres where you gotta use harriers. unless your playing soviets. build about 4 harriers and go on a suicide mission to blow up gap generator so you can see the base. now go to way point mode and tell a ship to attack a building and another ship to attack a building and all the other ones to attack different buildings. click the way point button,
fix a bowl of pop corn, relax, and watch all heck
break lose.

navy is one of my fave tactics.
but rarely i use it cause i have lots of plans with snipers and spy's and infantry tactics.

demo truck for any one   print me

ok, so. start building until you can train crazy ivans. get about 5 crazy ivans. get 1 flak track.
tell 1 ivan to put a bomb on another. tell the guy
who has a bomb on him to go into the flak track.
tell 1 ivan to put a bomb on every body else.
(quickly) tell one guy who has a bomb on him to put a bomb on the guy who put the bombs on every body else. then make them all enter the flak track, then voila! you got a nice demo truck ready to go! but dont deploy all the bomb guys in your base.
to make the bomb truck work, drive into the enemy's
base and let them kill the truck. or just deploy the bomb guys.

Demolition trucks hen you are allied   print me

First be an allied team, and your opponent soviet. Get a spy into the soviet battle lab, you will then get chrono ivan. Next build an IFV, put the chrono ivan into the IFV and attack with it it will then act as a demolition truck.

Desolater Poison   print me

Referring to a previuos cheat, you can click a Desolaterand click him again.He does not explode though, he just slams his Rad-Cannon on the ground and poisons the area with radiation. While the land is poisoned,if any infantry(include your own) stand on the poisoned area for to long,they will turn green and melt. This is a good defense against large groups of enemy infantry and SMALL groups of enmy tanks(2-3).

Destroy Psychic Beacon Easily!   print me

Allied Mission 3: Hail to the Chief
Objective: Destory Psychic Beacon

Strategy:
Don't bother about those IFVs, put them outside of your base to defend. Build 2 Air Force Command Headquarters, and also build 8 Harriers. Then use first 4 Harriers to find the Psychic Beacon. Rebuild Harries if they get destroyed. Next, use the second 4 Harriers and start destroying that building. As the same thing, rebuild Harriers if they get destroyed. Don't bother those anti-aircraft weapon. Repeat those steps until Psychic Beacon is destroyed. If you are fast enough, you should get it destroyed in 5 minutes!

Dispose of enemy infantry easily   print me

First,play as any soviet country(skirmish Vs.allied)Send an engineer into allied construction yard and take it to ur base(the construction yard repacks and can be taken.You might need a distraction so the enemy doesn't attack it)
Make
1.War factory(allied)
2.IFV
3.Yuri
4.Any tank of ur choice
Put the Yuri in IFV,take it in front of their barracks and press Ctrl and attack the ground in front of the barracks.A white cloud will appear which is only anti infantry and will kill infanry without fail.You might need the tank to defend ur IFV which cannot work against tanks an armoury etc.
NOTE:this cloud will kill your infantry also but it will not affect any tank.

Double the number of paratroopers\Free GIs   print me

This trick will only work in a skirmish game.
First of all choose to play as the Allies and choose the United States. Then choose one of the maps where you can get a tech-building for Paratroppers. Now when the game starts capture that tech-building. Now for as long as this tech-building remains under your control you will get free paratroopers and being the United States you also get free paratroopers(Americas Speciality) thus if you are ever out of cash and you need troops use this trick to get double the ammount of parratroppers that you would normally get(1 are the American Paratroops and the 2nd are the paratroops from the tech-building)

drive off with the enemy constructions center   print me

When playing a skirmish with redeployable MCVs on, send an engineer into the enemy construction complex. Then turn it back into the truck mode and drive away with it. You can now control it and can build anything your enemy can build.

Easy Base Defence Destruction   print me

Build A Chrono Legionaire and Chrono Commando. Teleport them near the defence you want destroy but just out of range.Place the legionaire in front of the commando.Go into waypoint mode and get the legionaire to fire on the building and the commando to plant a C4 charge then run away. Then Exit Waypoint mode. The Legionaire will make sure the defence doesnt kill the commando and the commando will destroy the building before the enemy's troops can respond.

(The Bomb Will Only Detonate After the Legionaire Stops Firing)

Easy Clearing Oreminers   print me

For this you need to be Allied. Built a Chronesphere and when it's ready put it on the enemys ore miner. Then click in into the water. De ore minder will simply sink!

Easy Destroy Construction Yard   print me

For this you must be Allied/ Korea. Built at least 3 rader towers. Then build as many Black Eagles as you can.

Then build a spy and let him go to a plower plant of the enemys base. Simply let him in and sent you black eagles to destroy their construction yard. The y wont get shot because the enemy has lost ther power.

This is also possible whit harriers ofcourse

Easy Spy infiltration   print me

This trick helps to keep your spy from being detected by other human players. Most people can tell a unit is a spy (if the spy is disguised as one of theirs)by clicking on it and getting no response. This can be overcome by disguising your spy as a civilian or a cow. This trick was much better if an indirect path is taken, and you walk in short bursts. Enjoy

easy way of winng computers   print me

get a helicopter and load it with enginers,then go to the enemys con. yard(make sure there are no walls.spy radars help.)then capture the con. yrd.(the computers usally sell most of the stuff.)

P.S.computers are really weak.

Easy way to destroy bases with the allies   print me

First on Skirimish or the reg. game,make 4-10(4 if your good at it)crono tanks, ship them by sea or by land to the unsuspecting enemys base, and just keep them at the longest firing range and keep an eye on them, in no time you can turn a large base that even has many defenses into scrap.(This tip works best when your on separate islands because if you weren't, they could probably counter it.)

Easy way to get paratroopers with any country   print me

Look around what ever map you've chosen for a tech building that looks somewhat like an air base (barracks, radar tower) then send an engineer into it and then -- BAM!! You've got paratroopers in your armory tab.

Easy Win   print me

build a chronoshpere and then build a 3x3 block of prism tanks:
x x x
x x x
x x x

sort of thing then teleport them into the middle of a enemy base. presto - the base has gone!

Easy Win   print me

First on skrimig pick a map that noone can get to you only if they cross a bridge blow up the bridge to keep it from being fixed put a dolphin/squid/sub under the broken bridge now build a blimp and command it to destroy the other team.Hint. make sure the other team/teams dont have air units,air,or paratroper,easier with more blimps.

Easy Win on last Allied Mission   print me

IN order to do this, u must build the weather machine and the chronosphere, and u need about 10-15 prism tanks. Heres what u do, u build a bunch of prism tanks and put them north of ur base, if u properly garrisoned the building around the east west and south of ur bases, soviet forces wont be able to get up there. Beware that the soviet nuke targets ur war factory, so i would put it as far away from ur base as possible and as soon as the nuke launches, just sell it, it better than having it destroyed, u can always build another one. Anyways, after u have the prism tanks grouped in the north, wait for your chronosphere to come online. Each time it comes online, chronomorph one of the black gaurd tanks from its spot near the kremlin up north to where u have the fleet of prism tanks. the prism tanks will destroy the black gaurd tank while sustaining only minimal damage. repeat this for all of the black gaurd tanks. us the lightning storm to take out the flak cannons and the guns gaurding the kremlin. if you do it properly, u just won, without having to ever leave your base.

Engineer & Rocketeer rush (online)   print me

When your online go to your profile go to quick match choose any country (allied or soviet dosnt matter.) SOVIET RUSH: change the connection to fast build unitl you get a barracks get 4 engineers then war facotry build a flack track while its building get an radar then put them in the flack track then go diagonal to you the enemy is ALWAYS diagonal to you unless your doing little big lake and pinch point.) go to there base take over construction yard, war factory, barrcks and ore refinary if u cant concentrate for the consruction yard >> same method with allied except only get 3 engineers and 3 IFV's take ober construction yard barrcks war factory asnd barracks what i do is just kill the rest of the bas ewith the 3 IFV's

Engineer Rush   print me

This is a quick way of gaining the technology of the other countries.
First, build lots of engineers(about fifty of them)select them all send all of them to the enemy's
con yard.(make sure the conyard has no walls around it). While running towards the base, the enemy will attack your engineers one by one making the work of the ones in the back a walk in the park. there's nothing to worry since you have lots of them. when the conyard is already yours. transform the conyard into the mobile form and RUN FOR YOUR FREAKIN' LIVES!!!! When you reach your base transform the conyard back into the bulding form and "VOILA" you have the technologies,bildings, and units of both soviet and allied forces.this tactic is performed and tested but its success depends on the defence of the opposing force. the higher the defence the lower the posibility of getting the tech.

Engineer Strategy   print me

First, you'll need barracks and maybe cloning vats for the soviet. Build as many enginers as you can, at least 60 engineers for winning the game. Then, build lots of army and ask them to destroy all enemies' security buildings eg. prism tower, chronosphere, fillbox, gap generator and all thier units. Then, call all your engineers to "attack"(move to the enemy's base) and take over all their buildings one by one, this way the enemy will lose easily. This will be successful if you did it properly. Enjoy playing!

Engineers can do a lot!   print me

If an Ivan/Chrono Ivan puts a bomb on any of your units or buildings, don't just sit there and watch the bomb time run out! Instead there is a way to prevent this. Simply select an engineer and click on the unit/building that Ivan has put a bomb on. The engineer will remove the bomb. Specially useful if you ordered an Ivan to bomb one of your units/buildings by mistake!

Extra cash (only with soviet in campaign)   print me

When your on the mission and you have to take over the president with your yuris you will find a service depo in the bottom of the map next to it are trucks destroy teh trucks and you will find crates with money. With your sniper take out the dogs and marines build a spy and infiltrate their battle lab and you will be able to build chrono ivan and destroy their power so their prisms will go offline and then walk in with your army.

Extra Units From Building   print me

In any game, if one of your buildings is about to be destroyed, then sell it right before it blows up. If it get destroyed while it is deconstructing, you will get the unit from selling the building and the unit(s) from having it destroyed.

Finish the last Allied mission without getting nuked   print me

ok this is a bit hard but build up a base until you can get chrono legonaires (bad spelling) build a spy sat uplink (if you haven't all ready) now send you chrono men to the 2 eastern nuke reactors (about 3 men should do it) erase them and send them to the south east nuke plant while continuing to build more chrono troops. erase the plant (you may get attacked by a standard apocalypse tank but erase him too) the power SHOULD go down if now quick erase the south west nuke plant now the soviets have only 4 tesla reactors to power the whole area (leave the other bases) now erase the black nuclear reactors and the kremlin is almost defenceless. now capture the air port to the north of your base and when ready drop then next to the black guard nearest your leigonaires and while the tanks are killing your G.I's get your most likely elite chrono's to freeze them once removed repeat for the other side making sure that all normal apoc tanks are gone first. once done repeat for the sentry guns and erase all defences (2 sentry guns, 2 flak and 1 tesla coil) tanya should shift in so sit back and watch the movie

note: the time it takes to do this is under 40 minutes and not once will the nuke be launched

Free ore miner   print me

Have a refinery already built. Now build one more and the miner will start to collect ore. Now sell one of your refinerys (I
keep the one nearest the ore) and you get your money back but you still have the miner!

Free Units   print me

You will need to use soviets for this. First build a Naval Shipyard and then a hover craft. Then build yuris and fill them in the craft. Then take the craft to enemy base. Then take out the yuris. Mind control their units.

Fun destruction, defence against aircraft and command cows   print me

To do the first cheat you need to play as soviet. Build an MCV and begin building a neculear power plant. Send your MCV into the outscirts of a enemy base deploy it, then deploy the neculear reactor next to it. Build several more as well. Then re-deploy the MCV ad drive it back to your base, or just sell it! Then wait for your enemy to start to destroy it. They will be killed in the blast. The good thing is that the blast will not destroy the other reactors. So the meyhem continues!!!!!

Ever wondered over a cheap solution to anti-aircraft. Use the IFV. They fire shots twice as fast and they are also cheaper. When they become elite they will be a unstoppable barrier of fire to your enemies.

On one of the first missions of the allied campain, the one in Poland, you get a message, "Bovie Rescued." These are cows! You can command the cows in front of you. Use these to recon the area around the Tesla coils. They are seen as being neutral and will not be shot at exept by one man. this man is in the top base and has a peosonal vendetta against them! I have used this cheat to do this mission, it really works!

Fun fun!! Only works for Soviets   print me

If you're the Soviets, create a cloning vat. Dont build too much stuff- save your money. Once you have a barracks and cloning vat, keep building conscripts. You may want to put wall around your barracks- in this case, you get a full refund for the conscript but still get one from your cloning vat. (in this case you get a free conscript.) Anyway, once you have a large army of conscripts, (you can make it as big as you want- they are so cheap) bring it to the enemy's base. Although you will lose a lot of men, You will beat them very easily. They will get promoted a lot.

If you are against the Allies, make sure you attack their Prism Towers first as these kill your men most.

Get a cheap Tesla Tank   print me

First, Select the soviets. use your engineers to capture an enemy war factory and build an IFV. place the tesla trooper in the ifv, and you get a tesla tank.

Get a spy into YOUR OWN buildings!   print me

Get SPECIAL TECHNOLOGY or UNITS from YOUR OWN BUILDINGS. It's simple, damage the building a little you wish your spy to enter (either you BATTLE LAB, WAR FACTORY or BARRACKS). Then train an ENGINEER and a SPY. Put them both somewhat close to the building. THE ENGINEER MUST BE CLOSER. Select both units and enter WAY POINT MODE. Put one waypoint close to the building then move your cursor to the building and put a way point INSIDE the building (there should be a repair cursor). When the engineer enters the building, the spy will follow and you will get the apropriate tech/unit.

Hell Of An explosion(Theory)   print me

Please note that I have not tried out this trick so if it does not work don't blame me.

With the Soviets you can build up a Nuclear Power Plant for great powering up of their structures. This though may be good for power up is also a bit bad in one area that is if it gets destroyed it causes the damage of about a mini nuke. So what do we do build a Nuclear Power Plant and try and slowly sneak the numbe rup and try to get them as near an enemy base as you can. Now when the enemy will see this he wil try to destroy it. allow him with pleasure and if that fool uses ground forces watch how he destroys not only the structre and greatly damages himself in the process. NOTE: if he uses aerial attack then he will not sustain any damage and also you can use this trick only once. People learn fast. maybe against the computer you may try multiple times.
So if you are playing without super weapons, it's time to make your own with a few modifications ofcourse.

Helpful tip on red alert 2 allied campaign mission 1   print me

how to find 4 crates on allied mission one
first it is the mission where 4 dreadnoughts are attacking the statue of liberty.
order tanya to attack the 4 dreadnoughts.after that a lot of conscrips will paradrop from the airplane.order tanya to kill all of them. she can kill the sons of a BITC* in one shot. then after that romanov will say something to u. when u are leaving the liberty notice the part of the ocean on the west. order tanya to swim toward the stone thingy. after that order tanya to swim west again. u will see a small footing containing nothing but when tanya steps there 4 power up crates will appear from thin air!!! WOW!!! ITS MAGIC!!!!
