Stuck with Alpha 07 campaign

[Leakhsa]

Sorry for double posting, but not sure that I've chosen right thread to post first time. So the message is:

Hello everyone.

Got problem with campaign - where I should build my base on place of destroyed Paradigm base. I'm getting attacked by their forces on wave basis, but when time runs out it writes me that I've fault the mission. Paradigm lands troops near my new base in most cases (so I've got two groups of tanks and mortars there), but some of them are attacking my first base (which is successfully defended by defensive structures). So the question is - what am I doing wrong?

Btw, I've referenced with solution here: http://wiki.wz2100.net/Mission_Alpha_07 but no luck yet.

Thanks for advice.

this means you have not found and destroyed all the enemy forces. you will have to scout the entire map, and find and destroy all remaining forces

You should build your new base where the main New Paradigm base used to be, the one that had their Command Relay Center and their upgraded Research Facility in it.

If you're losing despite crushing the enemy offensive, it means that an enemy unit escaped somewhere or you haven't built all the required structures. I also think you have to build the required structures during the mission, as I've once built an elaborate base in the designated area while milking the timer at the end of the previous mission, and then gone on to fail this mission. I think all the key base structures(except for the Command Center), and some defenses as well, are required for this mission.

As of 2.1, I can confirm the following:

No defenses are required. They certainly help though, due to where the NP forces actually land.

Only 3 structures are needed. Factory, Cyborg factory, research, powerplant, Comm center... you don't even have to diversify. 3 powerplants will be fine. It may even be less than this, but I always build 3 things.


90% of the failures of this mission are due to NP forces hiding "somewhere". The AI tells them to move from wherever they land to location "X". However, if a unit's specific X happens to have NO path to it (say, you have totally walled off the only route), then he will get partway there, and then just stop. Having a few fast units (viper-wheels) on this map is a good idea for hunting; even if the viper-wheels gets massacred, at least you know where the unit is.

The other 10% of failures come from having *too good* of a defense. If ZERO New Paradigm units can even enter the stage due to all of their LZ / entrypoints being shut off/built on, then the whole timer will count to 0 with no enemy contacts and 1 notice of failure. If this is your first time playing the stage though, I doubt you'll know all the locations for that.

The units which land southeast or directly west of the new base rarely(or never) escape. The units landing to the northwest make a rush towards the plateau exit, which probably accounts for most of the escaped units. Especially if the landing force was a scout group composed of Bug units on Wheels or Half-tracks. Placing another combat group at the plateau entrance should be able to nab these guys, though.

Thanks everyone - I've finally completed it, by bringing one group to southeastern corner of the map and blocking passage to main base. I think some enemy units were really stucked there.
