Favorite General and why?

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Hence, problems

 

nothign liek a good ol' tank o' armor. and guns

 

hence hte reason for playing as china 8)

That good ole tank column costs just as much and has no technical upgrades to help it survive as long. The Chinese are somewhat lacking in the technical extra dept. Even the ECM tank has the weakness of simply deflecting rockets, not destroying them.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

true, however chinese tnaks do have their advantages

 

like Nationalism

 

propaganda towers

 

and nuclear upgrades

You forgot Frenzy Ziggy, have you ever seen a battlemaster column with subliminal messaging and frenzy aswell as the autloader? Its like having machine gun turrents that blow up vaults.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

My only expirience with China in Zh so far was in US 3rd mission (which doesnt count) and Im on the GLA 5th mission, but im still catpuring hte US support base, so Im not fully upgraded yet.

 

BTW I recued the POWs with 14 minutes still on the counter. and that was without knowing I would have to.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

Tall sotry or good playing - either way its a feat. That GLA mission is the last one so good luck.

 

Chinas ZH missions are quite fun. I definitly like the last mission the most - all 3 technologies

[Cygnus X-1 12]

well, my comp plays Generals pretty slow, so its not that hard to rescue on timer. However, i did have to protect them in the technical while I was counterattacked by the US and waiting for my chinese untis to arrive.

 

speaking of which

Internet Center = pwnage

 

Im building Chinese tanks like crazy, and upgrading both GLA and CHinese tech, adn still got loads of $$ coming in.

 

that plus 2 trucks, and 7 workers :wink:

Unfortunately the 3rd mission is frickin' hard to do. I'm still trying but I miss the avenger to use against Scud's...

[Cygnus X-1 12]

???

 

3rd US mission had no SCUDS....

 

3rd GLA mission was easy, that was the particle cannon one....

[Azrael 0]

Btw, has anybody seen somebody trying to rush with a force of purely Humvees?

I was talking about the 3rd Chinese mission.

And while playing as the chinese I miss the avenger to defend against scuds. Those gattlings just don't work for me.

[Azrael 0]

Stocking up on them might increase chances of shooting down SCUDs...

[Thorak 0]

True, but needing to use 3 or 4 to shoot down 1 missile I think is innefficient. Occupy one with another unit and there is no stopping the missile. Avengers do all at the same time. They can use their AA-laser, Anti-rocket laser and their pointer laser at the same time.

[Azrael 0]

Correction: Only AA Laser and AM Laser, the Pointer Laser dosen't help...

Just remind me of the mission again please.

3rd mission China on ZH = destroy statues before public opinion reaches 0

(timed mission). I hate timed missions.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

why do you hate them ?

 

they are just more chalenges. i love a good chalenge. especially the limited forces mission. aka comando raid.

 

The Avenger can us the anit rocket, AA, and pointer laser all at once.

 

US tech = teh pwnage.

 

Oh and whoever said the blue laser was worthless....what it does is target paints a taget (like the Missile Defender laser pinter) and increase ROF of all nearby allied units.

 

so it does work.

Thorak, instead of buying things to supplement your forces, tyry buying Frenzy with your points and tyhe increased rate iof fire w/ gatt's will bring down scuds. It also rips through GLA defenses quicker. :-)

Laser gen pwneds anything it comes across. I beat 7 brutal armies with this buttnuts. I also use tank gen because u can build dozens of elite battle masters. Avengers are cheaper and are greater than Alexander the great(that's pretty great). I blow the sht out of anyone with laser gen.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

Laser Gen's power requirements do my head in. I'd prefer to have a tank column than worry about constructing another power plant.

It's worth a try, I need to practise more with China, I don't use them enough, so I don't know their strengths and weaknesses.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

The chinese has the ability to be the most versatile of the forces and has the ability to fight out of any situation if you use them right.

 

Personally, I see no point inspending generals points on units to supplement your forces or spending tonnes of money on support weapons (like artillery barrage) unless I know I'm going to be facing a rather stalwart defence (in which case I use carpet bombing). The ability to have a veteran horde with better firing rates ranks higher on my list than 'destroy ebemies warfactory so they can rebuild it again'.

 

I feel an article on spending Generals Points coming on suddenly.

nohting like a column of armor in your enemy's rear.

 

I hate the fact that the laser Gen needs power for your tanks. Grr.....

 

Really the only disadvantage China has is lack of radar spy equipment. And that has been somewhat negated by Satelite hack.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

China's disadvantage is that its too slow. Even the Mig can be shot down by a statuatory Quad cannon/avenger. If you can outpace or use the air advantage, you've got more chance of defeating China. Going toe to toe with them using brute force is stupid.

[F15pilotX 4]

Yeah, which is what the Air Force General is for

Just get...4-8 Auroras or King Raptors to take out their base defenses, barracks, and war factory w/some stealthed Commanches to take out mobile ground units and destroy their base TOTAL PWNAGE
