Here is the Annihilation campaign. 3 maps so terrifying and so difficult that only the most disciplined jocks should attempt this.
Map one does have at least one elite jock, Maps 2 and 3 have Aces. The other enemies are set to 'Your' skill level.

I strongly recommend that you backup your squad before even attempting these. Yes, I've played through them. I've actually played through the campaign 6 times. So that is the extent of its testing.

However, if you've completed all 3 campaigns and DeepCore and have a squad with nothing to do and nowhere to go. Here is that place.

You can get this campaign using your scenario archive link within the game menu.

Cool.. we gonna start saving campains/missions on that website? If so may want to sticky something.

Can you edit this campain and put a difficulty level in it also?

Annihilation has been there since the 28th of August and seems to be in the top downloads for the time being.

Annihilation has Tonnage requirements. Meeting the tonnage requirements is more important than having a specific skill rank. Its in the briefings

No map which ANY restrictions shouldn't have difficulty ALL. The difficulty is not only about jock rank. If you call your campaign hard you should set the flag accordingly. Can I win with a standard 3 recon rookie squad ? If not the difficulty is not for ALL.

well, if larkin thinks I should change this then I will.

Ok .. looks like I missed the wieght suggestions:o Where were they given? I played this campain with the team I finished the Metaborator with and it was WAY too easy. My next squad will attempt this campain at a much lower experience level and with MUCH less total wieght (I did it with an assault, 3 heavies, and a light). I think the difficulty for the campain would be something I'd like to run through with low-middish level jocks. Campain looked pretty solid if I'd played at a reasonable level.


btw.. why did you put a time limit on the poll?

This really is more of a side campaign through android rebellion and early metaborator, I think. Something to play rather than a bunch of random maps if your team needs experience/money. Also, I've done an upgrade which is yet to be available at Scenario archive. Not sure why. I may have to resend a copy.

I thought it was "so terrifying and so difficult that only the most disciplined jocks should attempt this"

Maybe I overstated it in my zeal. However, this is still a campaign for the experienced player.

For what I could see, Bblue is right, there are no tonnage indications - and no difficulty level either.
Also, a few remarks. The enemy titans are of that kind with lots of CC and energy, and no power to recycle them. Did I mention the crappy computers and scanners? (Had never seen an assault with these at level 1) Fixed recons and lights across the board in the first 2 maps can't make it a 'any' campaign either...

A) read what Larkin wrote
B) see what I replied
C) these issues were dealt with sept 21, 2003.

a) I did, else I wouldn't have replied
b) ditto
c) it's oct 18 now, one month past, where are the changes? Notice it was Bblue that brought this up, not me.

Experience player, sure. But the maps can probably be handled by a few mid- to lower level jocks since most of the oppisition can be taken on one at a time. Still a good campain! just a matter of finding out what level gives a good challange. btw... what is the suggested wieght restrictions?

Then like me you'll have to wait until they post the upgrade.

You posted Myrcea's Wisp here, why didn't you post this one too?!
Also notice that what Larkin meant was not to slap '120 tons is minimum' in every map and everything is ok.
