Other Chinese NEVER got uranium shells at the start, only Nuke General. The other ones you have to upgrade from your Nuclear Silo, a patch never affected this. I never said other chinese get uranium shells at the start. Oh man, why is this so difficult? Such a seemingly simple question and I can't get a straight answer even from three forums.

thank you. however, I remember some time ago that uranium shells did leave radiation for BMs and OLs. which patch took it out, and why? or was I hallucinating, heh

actually, by jack I meant this: definition on the the first line

can someone do me a favor and try it in skirmish? vanilla china, zero hour patch 1.04, and upgrade uranium shells before using a battlemaster to force attack the ground. Is there a radiation patch left?

well sure, of course radiation is not an issue in depleted uranium uses irl, it is only used because of its mass. but my question is, in game, researching uranium shells for tanks used to cause radiation patches left on the ground right? if so, which patch changed this and why?

Thanks, the EA logo is no more. I don't see any .ini file in generals though.

It's definitely not a problem of detail for me, my rig is more than adequate to run generals. The radiation is simply not there, even with just one tank with uranium shells firing on the ground and nothing else going on. Infantry take forever to kill, it's not just a display problem. Also, this is in skirmish and single player, patch 1.04.

SW gen beats jack. Unless you play the AI.

Sure, rangers will also stop a toxin tractor. It is just not practical. AA defenses have a shorter stealth detection range than firing range.

I'm talking about battle masters and overlords leaving patches of radiation on the ground after uranium shells from the nuclear silo is purchased. What does this have to do with nuke cannons? For example: the china nuke general's tanks leave radiation on the ground after every shot because he starts off with the uranium shells upgrade already purchased. Yet the other china generals' tanks don't do the same with uranium shells. I remember they used to. Did a patch change this, and why?

I beat it on hard on my second try with this strat. Start off with two barracks and one warfac. Train alot and in equal amounts of redguard and tank hunters, while building outposts, bms, and gatts constantly. Get a couple of flame tanks in reserve (don't send them to battle). When your force is large enough, destroy the closest statue, then send the whole mass of tanks and infantry directly north using the same path the closest GLA tunnel is on. Smash the northern-most statue with your forces, using the flame tanks you kept in reserve to clear out the garrisons. Your forces are now probably almost all dead. Retreat what is left to base and defend it. The battles to destroy the northern most statue would have given you enough general points to purchase the carpet bomber. Use it to destroy the remaining statues one by one, starting from the statue furthest east. However, if your bomber keeps getting shot down, use it to destroy the statues cloest to you instead, then send all your remaining forces to destroy the one furthest east. A group of infantry backed by listening outposts is best for this last rush to the statue because they not vunerable to the constant hit-and-run attacks of rocket buggies and can quickly garrison in the city if met with a scud launcher battlegroup.

What are all the available command line directives for generals.exe? I am aware of -quickstart, which removes the starting video and animated battle in the background of the game screen, but what are the other directives? Also, this may be a separate question to the topic but how do you remove the stupid challenge everything EA in-your-face brand logo?

I remember they used to, but they don't seem to now. Did a patch change this? I can't find any mention of this anywhere.
