Hidden Campaign Objectives

[TheArchive]

Hey, I wasn't sure where to put this, so I thought here would probably be fine.

Anyway, I've been trying out the campaign missions in FAF, and one thing I've noticed is that there are hidden objectives for the missions (which I think FAF added? At least I don't remember that when I played the campaign, though that was admittedly years ago). Going through the first few Aeon missions, I've seen that there's usually three hidden objectives, and I can't for the life of me figure out what to do to even start unlocking them. Is there a way to find hints for what to do? A file or guide I can look at?

I've played the second Aeon mission multiple times, and so far the only one I've figured out is

Spoiler: show

capturing the civilian city to the north on the island that you're meant to protect.

Aside from that, nothing I've done (capturing all civilian buildings instead of destroying them, using different units, etc.) seems to work. The same is true for all other missions. Worse in fact, since I can't even get 1/3 for those.

So, can someone help me figure out these hidden objectives?

It can be capturing certain units/structures (as you noticed).
Having built or killed certain amout of certain units/structures.
Not losing some specific units.
And in some cases, finishing some tasks fast enough.

So far there are total of 14 hidden objectives in Aeon missions 1-4.
More will get added later, once I have time to do it.

you can look them up in the mission script on github if you feel like "cheating"

How dare you suggest that?!

Haha, thanks PhilipJFry, though I think I'll try a few more times before going for that route. Also, thank you for the tips, Speed2! For what it's worth, while it's driving me crazy trying to get 100% on the missions, I'm having a lot of fun having something to go back to in order to try the mission again. The addition of those hidden objectives was a great move, and I definitely love to hear that you plan on adding even more eventually!
