Nuke General Strategys

[Balisong 0]

I really like the nuke general and i was hopin you guys could post some of your fav usefull nuke gen strategys. thanks alot

[Tsing Shi Tao 0]

Yay, my favourite guy too.

 

Basic strategies:

 

Softening up a base

Tsing is basically a long-range specialist. His Nuke Cannon devistates at long range on the ground, and can hold its own when paired with an Overlord of anti-air/infantry/tank defence.

 

 

Air Superiority

Another specialty of Tsing is his more powerful air units. Nuke MiGs do alot more damage, and reload VERY fast (at same speed as King Raptors, which is nearly instant). While his MiGs are expensive and easy to kill, they can dish out ALOT of damage, and are worth building despite costs. On top of that he has Nuclear Carpet Bomber, which can dish out a real pounding, but like his MiGs is relatively vulnerable to AA fire. The Nuclear Bombs on the Helix don't do a whole lot more damage than the Napalm bombs, so no real advantage there.

 

 

Tank Attacks

His other main advantage is the tanks. They automatically come with Nuclear Tanks and Uranium Shell upgrades, and in addition leave a cloud of radiation that is basically the equivelant of Anthrax Alpha-tipped toxin shells making them good against infantry.

 

However, the disadvantage to these tanks is VERY dangerous collateral damage. If a Battlemaster is killed, the Battlemasters beside it can loose somewhere between 33% to 50% of it's HP (I know what your thinking, but no, they don't do nearly as much damage to enemy units). When in large groups, loosing one or two tanks can cause a chain reaction taking out douzens. Until you have Isotope Stability, never build more than 2-3 tanks (even then only for base defence, or rushing the enemy).

 

Of course, this problem can be avoided by simply researching Isotope Stability, then you can build tank rushes to your heart's content.

 

 

Nuclear Winter

Of course, when going against NPCs, building lots and lots of Superweapons are your easiest bet. Nothing like the joy of watching a douzen missles leave their silos. With Nuke MiGs, Carpet Bombers, and Artillary (both General Power and Nuke Cannons) you kill your enemy without ever having to step foot in their base.

China nuke just a plain basic. Just an upgrade from original. Just stick to your basic strategy... And don't forget the upgrades, i just love the radiation.

I have the biggest trouble with the Airforce Gen, bacially auras. know any tips for anti air?

Multiple Gattling Tanks or Gattling Cannons can take care of Aurora Bombers. NEVER rely on missile-based waepons against Auroras on a bombing-run. The missiles never hit & if t is Airforce General all the more you should rely on Gattling weapons against aircraft beacause of the Laser-Point Defense system he has. Use Nuke-Cannons to soften up the enemy base (guard them with Gattling-Tanks and Overlords w/ Propaganda towers & / Battlemaster. Then do an all-out MiG airstrike. Then push your forces in.

I'd agree to use gattlin units and stick to gattlin tanks not the stationary base defenses. The tanks are taken out easily by the auroa's but they are wayyyy cheaper to replace and are not rendered useless by getting rid of your power. Just make sure you keep them spread apart and if facing mainly auroa's keep them moving with waypoints (alt + left click) so when the auroa drops it's bomb it will miss the tank. The tank will shoot at half it's normal rate if moving but i would say it's worth it if it keeps the tank alive. If he's losing $2500 auroa's to kill your $800 gattlin tanks then you are doing well

[Cygnus X-1 12]

look in game data, should be something similar to Worlbuilder.exe

Icon with the earth on it

[GeneralZ 0]

That is the Worldbuilder

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Unfortuneatly, it has been know to not work properly. Lets hope RA3 and TT will have a good mapmaker available either with the game or as freeware.

i've had no problems with worldbuilder.

 

when it says error, i click ignore, and it still loads

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Maybe mine doesnt like me.

 

I have the GLA General version, if that means anything. My friend has the U.S. His worldbuilder works fine. Could be the comp though :?

[GeneralZ 0]

GLA version?

 

never heard of it

 

I was wondering, why does generals have a GLA general box cover on some boxes, and all 3 on others

[Cygnus X-1 12]

GLA version?

 

never heard of it

 

I was wondering, why does generals have a GLA general box cover on some boxes, and all 3 on others

 

Thats what I mean. I have the GLA covers and CD lables. I've seen Chinese theme box and Lables, a U.S. theme box and Lables, and an all around theme with all three sides.

[GeneralZ 0]

i got the deluxe edition, with G and Zh together. It had all 3 generals on cover, but the CDs labels are a paladin and raptor

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Come to think of it, Generals is the only C&C I got without getting the expansion in the same "deluxe" package.

the thing i like about this guy is he can have nuke mig and nuke carpet bombing

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Which are just code words for "devastation in a box"
