History Characters / MentalOmega

* ShoutOut: The idea of an elite air force called the Golden Armada comes from ''Franchise/{{Starcraft}}'', as that's the name of the Protoss's air armada.

* LightningBrusier: A large number of Chinese vehicles will permanently receive the Nuclear Path buff, which reduces their armor by 25% in exchange for 25% increased speed and firepower. This no doubt made them more challenging to deal with, as Chinese heavy armor remain durable even with the armor debuff but now has their greatest weakness of poor mobility mitigated and their already high firepower increased even further.

* {{Cyborg}}: The Chinese will train and send Cyborg Vanguards to assault your base.

* UnusableEnemyEquipment: The Black Centurion Siege Crawler, a Centurion [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin with black paint]], significantly higher hit points, and higher range for its loaded Eradicators, is exclusive to the enemy China players in the Ironwall Challenge, and will occassionally go and attack the player team.

* UniversalDriver'sLicense: The Engineer is capable of capturing whichever vehicle that has no driver.

* BombDisposal: They can defuse bombs planted by Crazy Ivans.

* DeathFromAbove: Due to a combination of paradrops and preference for aircraft and Athena Cannons.

** TeleportSpam: The enemy's forces are mostly based off of Chronotech so expect a lot of this.
** RetGone: And this.

* TheBusCameBack: The Rejuvenator was available by capturing a Tech Secret Lab in Version 3.0, but it was removed, and the Tech Secret Lab instead gave the player access to a random monster tank. This change was reverted in Patch 3.3.5.
* TheMedic: It can repair friendly vehicles quickly.

* NiceGuy: Like in the vanilla Yuri's Revenge, the Epsilson Engineers are surpringly pleasant and kind, in spite of being a member of the most inherently inhumane and brutal army in the game.

* StatusBuff: All enemy Shock Troopers, Tesla Cruisers and Volkov have a permanent Overcharge effect and Rhino Tanks will only fire tesla-enhanced shells.

* YouShallNotPass: The enemy Dybbuk Hives, with their huge reserves of self-replenishing Dybbuk-Interceptors, essentially say fuck you to your aircraft.

* YouShallNotPass: The Wings of Coronia bases are surrounded by Blasticades that periodically activate, even without a Blast Furnace and even without power. Certain key buildings, such as Tech Nuclear Reactors or Harbinger Towers, have their own Blasticades as well.

* MythologyGag: The map is based on Hidden Fortress, a 2vs1 Skirmish map from ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3''.

* InterfaceScrew: The main challenge lies in denial of varying bits of your Tech Tree at regular intervals and having to plan around that.

* ArmorPiercingAttack: The enemy's Mind Control Impulse support power can mind control even units that are normally immune to mind control (namely miners, robots and animals), excluding heroes, although it is still unable to target things in the air and the AI also won't target submarines with it.
* CharmPerson: In addition to normal Elites, Masterminds and Psychic Dominators, the enemy can use Mind Control Impulse to mind control units, and rarely Yuri himself, with the ability to mind control units and buildings permanently, might come to the battle.

!!Ironwall Challenge
* {{Cyborg}}: The Chinese will train and send Cyborg Vanguards to assault your base.
* DeadManSwitch: Like the normal Iron Dragon, all of China's vehicles temporarily turn adjacent ones invulnerable when destroyed.
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: The Black Centurion Siege Crawler, a Centurion [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin with black paint]], significantly higher hit points, and higher range for its loaded Eradicators, is exclusive to the enemy China players in the Ironwall Challenge, and will occassionally go and attack the player team.

* ItsRainingMen: The enemy can call paradrop of 2 Tesla Cruisers in addition of the regular Russian paradrops.

* SuperSpeed: Enemy units have a noticeable, permanent boost in movement speed and attack speed.
* {{Teleportation}}: Chrono Legionnaires and Quickshifters are the enemy's favourite units in this challenge.

* MultiplayerOnlyItem: While [=MCVs=] do appear in the campaign on regular basis, they can't be built, even if your Construction Yard is destroyed. The player normally does not even have the chance to control an MCV at all, as their own [=MCVs=] tend to get deployed while not under control, and player-owned Construction Yards cannot unpack in the campaign. The final Foehn Origins mission, The Remnant, is the only mission in the campaign where the player can build [=MCVs=] without restrictions - it is implied that the reason this was not possible beforehand is that the means to mass-produce [=MCVs=] were not available until combining the research in the blueprints of each type of MCV allowed it.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: Prior to 3.3.5, the first 10 minutes of the Superweapon Challenge, where the enemy starts off with 12 superweapons. Whichever strategy you choose, spam Raccoons to shield yourself or rush the Nuclear Plants powering the superweapons with Stallions or [=MCVs=], you only have a very limited time of 10 minutes before the superweapons activate and kill you if you fail to achieve your objective. The 3.3.5 update adds a 12 minutes delay before the countdown starts, opening more strategies. But it still counts as this as still having 12 offensive superweapons against you will definitively obliterate your base.

Whichever strategy you choose, spam Raccoons to shield yourself or rush the Nuclear Plants powering the superweapons with Stallions or [=MCVs=], you only have a very limited time of 10 minutes before the superweapons activate and kill you if you fail to achieve your objective. The 3.3.5 update adds a 12 minutes delay before the countdown starts, opening more strategies. But it still counts as this as still having 4 offensive superweapons against you will obliterate your base.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Thought getting hit with one superweapon is bad? Try FOUR!

* RaceAgainstTheClock: The first 10 minutes of the Superweapon Challenge, where the enemy starts off with 12 superweapons. Whichever strategy you choose, spam Raccoons to shield yourself or rush the Nuclear Plants powering the superweapons with Stallions or [=MCVs=], you only have a very limited time of 10 minutes before the superweapons activate and kill you if you fail to achieve your objective.

* DemotedToExtra: Before Version 3.0, Cosmonauts could be trained in Skirmish maps, either by capturing a Tech Time Machine (Version 1.2), or as the basic Soviet infantry in the Lost Colony mode (Version 2.0). In the current version, they only appear in one mission, "Earthrise", and in the Revolution Challenge, as part of the enemy Soviet forces.

* HeroUnit: He doesn't have a name, but he otherwise fits, being extremely powerful and only one can be trained each time.

* PaintItBlack: Patch 3.3.5 introduced the Black Centurion Siege Crawler, a Centurion [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin with black paint]], significantly higher hit points, and higher range for its loaded Eradicators. It's exclusive to the enemy China players in the Ironwall Challenge, and will occassionally go and attack the player team.

* AdaptationalWimp: Unlike in the vanilla game, where only one Engineer is needed to capture enemy buildings, here it takes three Engineers to do so in skirmish mode (the building in question is only captured if it's under 1/3 HP, otherwise it takes damage equal to 1/3 of its maximum HP; this is how it worked on RA 1).

* HypnosisProofDogs: Mind control do not affect dogs, making them a good counter to Epsilon Adepts.

** It should also be noted that his high damage output and extreme durability are rendered meaningless against many things, as Volkov and Chitzkoi can temporarily paralyze him and kill him in one hit respectively, Yunru and the Dragonflies can paralyze him by hacking him, while he's also vulnerable to cryo weaponry too, being literally useless against just a single Cryocopter when he's all by himself, and he's also vulnerable to magnetic weaponry and [=EMPs=]. His arm cannon also has an EXTREMELY slow rate of fire and is useless against air units or any land or sea unit that has a sufficent enough range and is well-guarded enough, whether it by being located in an inaccesible area where he can't reach or fire at, or being out of his range. To put a long story short, if you're good enough to unlock him naturally, you don't NEED to due to how many drawbacks he has.
