I feel like I'm complaining, but I actually enjoy the challenge. The problem is that the challenge occurs with a money cheat and DSTech!!!

(No offense meant) I've never heard of a more overpowered mod than DSTech, and I still have trouble, especially with the evacuation!

How do you guys handle it?

on vacation rightnow, using a crappy laptop, so I can't play CC or type all that well. I'd like to hear your thoughts though!

I usually buy four guys:
Two with revolver cannon or repeater for left side
One with digger to make the entry for the dunnies on the right side impossible.
One with digger and concrete sprayer for reinforcing and booby trapping the left side.

As the person who coded Maginot, I have to agree with you that it's really hard. Numgun suggested that it last 10 minutes (or is it 15? Haven't played it in a while) and I just never got around to decreasing the time it lasts for. In the campaign, it would probably come way later, too, so by then you might be able to survive it a little better.

It's quite doable, even without buying anything. Station your games behind cover and give them long range weapons and you should be fine as long as you check on them from time to time to make sure they aren't being retarded.

I thought it went on forever...?

Wait that was probably build 22, right? Anyways-

I use the normal guys, never lasted very long though because I didn't have the attention span to wait for it.

I usually get some GLs and take the dummies down from above, cowering behind cover in the event of them chucking something at me. removing the LOS advantage the dummies have over the coalition is a good way of getting around their ability to tear your limbs off with their sidearm. The fact that they're coming from both sides does mean that you get ♥♥♥♥ over pretty easily though. First time I beat it I ended up sacrificing some guys as my brain dug his way around the base in goto AI with a heavy digger. Situations like that make me enjoy CC :)

Revolver cannons make short work of dropships. You don't need any other defences if the few troops that get through are covered in dropship parts. Heavy sniper works too, if you feel like it.

I love the Maginot Mission. Its my overall favorite. I play it over and over again for hours.
I just use a AAL Pilot and AAL Pilot Shotgun and try to waste all the enemys until im out of gold or escape, I may call in a Pilot with like 3 cluster grenades for crouds sometimes.


(Does anyone know what the best framerate to record Cortex Command in on Hypercam?)

It's also fairly easily possible using weapons weaker than the revolver cannon and heavy sniper.
Pretty much just scale your way down as you get better at it.
Also never use the Base.rte shotgun.

Lizard. If you have used the AAL Pilot and AAL Shotgun then you should know its weaker then a Coalition Heavy and equal to a heavy shotgun without the little spikes. Only difference is jump jets. I like jump jets.

I can only guess at what that means, but I'll say that it is along the lines of c*** blocked.

Dis mission lasts for ten minutes, I thought it was until x kills, and if they also get to point y or z in your base...
