It was? Then nice job! Most people find it fairly challenging. I guess depending on if you're using mods it can be a bit easier. The hardcore challenge is to do it just with a vanilla faction. :P

This was easy

It is a bit rough, an update to the base game made it harder, maybe I should rebalance it when I get a chance. Though if you complete it you can pretty much consider yourself a Cortex Command master lol. :P

Yeah! There is a little wiggle room for you to use your own weapons and soldiers but it can be done using vanilla assets. It was just made to be hard. That being said I should have probably given the player more space on the left of the map but it's not so bad if you dig down at the start. I'm just glad it's still working all these years later and that people are still enjoying it.

Yeah gave it more shots, wrote the comment when I was proper frustrated so poor form on my part. It's dooable but dam it's hard. Managed to get someone down the right but only from the help of other mods, maybe i'll try for vanilla.. maybe, eitherway gg.

@Eppiox I guess my mission just isn't for you? I made this mission 11 years ago, when there wasn't many other missions available to play so I figured that I would make it particularly challenging so that players wouldn't complete it on their first try and get bored of the game. Many other players have expressed that they have thoroughly enjoyed playing this mission. It's challenging sure, and maybe a bit unfair but many have said you can't compare how you feel once you beat it to any other mission. Just something to think about...

Too much artificial difficulty and frustrating things like small starting position which gets rushed, worthless companions who are over burdened and die without helping, no setup positions- you start out of position. Annoyed me right from the get go, still annoyed :|

It can be beaten, it's just hard. My trail of thought during the time of creating this mission was that there wasn't many other missions out there at the time so I wanted it to prove a difficult challenge so that players wouldn't just beat it instantly and have nothing else to play. It's designed to keep you coming back to it. :P

It's hard when playing with only vanilla units, it's a bit easier when using custom content. :P

can't beat the mission with all those coalition troops dropping in directly on my head

the one time i got close, CC crashed

np

Oh yeah! Lol. I thought it was in the mod, that's not a problem! I'll fix it now. :P

"We have detected a priceless artefact on our scanners"

First line

Where is the spelling mistake? I can fix that. :P

Besides the Artifact gone on wrong spelling, i think this is an awesome mission, im downloading right now

No offense, still a good mission.

Dear Author, Artifact*

Where i can find this mission?

Love it!

Really? Never did that before... you usally just fail the mission if you fall out of the map, will look into it.

I like how if you fall in the gap under the artifact your game crashes, makes things more interersting

ok

I think it has been made harder over time due to game rebalancing. It’s a pretty old mod but It was also always meant to be pretty challenging though to keep players returning to try to beat it while trying to beat it faster.

its hard realy hard
hade to nuke it to oblivion then drill down and get it. at the same time makeing my brain a FORTRESS

ITS LIKE THE TOP
