I personally prefer Laser , so that my base can be protected from Scuds and Tomahawks..... :arrow:

Superweapons is the best ally.

I agree with laser, his laser tanks are good, he has good laser defences and his avengers will come out at twice the rate cus they are cheaper. :)

I dont think i could answer that honestly. Ive used the the superweapons so far, the most. Some maps I choose to be the attacker and others I build up the defense, with either laser or superweapons. I dont really use the GLA as an allie.

I also prefer superweapon general, because she can protect my base with her EMP patriot, and also build superweapons cheaper.

I usually use Air Force with little defense in my base, so it will be very helpful.

Id say I build a solid defense for me and my allie b4 I go on an all out assault. Laser is fun for defense. Especially when a transport plane or bomber flies to my base and gets hit by 7-10 laser turrets and 5-6 avengers. A very nice laser show. Ill try to get a nice SS of the laser show.

I'd say the best ally general would be the Nuke general. The general and I would both go on offensive and therefore would not need any defences. The rush would usually be very good against all generals. No general, apart from maybe the SW gen, can withstand the might of 2 armies of Battlemasters, Gattling guns and later on, the Overlords.

I also think that the airforce general with the tank general are a very good combination. The tanks destroy ground troops and the planes assist them in destroying barracks, war factories etc.

About the nuke:

Do you know which is the best way to destroy a nuke defence? Kill his nukes from within the turrets, and the turrets will also blow (just because they r 2 powerfull) :lol:

I loved it the first time I took four Humvees up against five Nuke Battlemasters, and he couldn't figure out how his entire force blew up. The one good thing about playing against the Nuke General is that his tanks cause collateral damage to his own units when they blow up. One Raptor, and BOOM!

Nuke is expensive at infantry but its MiG is quite well.

And Nuke can harm its units because of the radiation.

By the way, Nuke is a good partner.

I'm usually Air Force, so having the tank general as an ally would be awesome...seeing as how my version of a tank is the humvee with TOW missiles...lol

You ever notice that fast vehicle like technicals can "jump" ramped ground? They take damage, buts funny.

 

Air Force with either superweapons or tanks. pwned

i like having vehicle move down stepp cliffs, and press STOP buttin half way down, especiialy on 90 degree slopes. They just hang there halfway on the cliff, pointing straight down. Works well, because then some units can't hit them, cuase they're in the air, while the tanks can still shoot down. I do the same for Burton. He scales a cliff, and i click stop. He stand around the middle of the cliff harassing units that can't shoot air units. Like scorpions, technicals, battlemaster. But have to watch out for quads and gattling when detected

An AFG is very effective becuase I play just USA they have tanks and my ally comes and protects my base while I build up my forces and then rush my enemys but that tactic dont work every time.

Intersting tactic with the cliffs. I'll have to try it sometime.

i always liked exploiting tactics in Generals. There are many tactics i use taht i came up with myself that are ingenious. though i wouldn't tell u most of them..secret. a few i reveal, like cliff shooting, alpha exploring...however, i don't exploit bugs. all my tactics are just original tactics

You know whats weird? US missile defenders cant use laser missiles while garrisoned or in a Hum-vee. Terrorists in cars will just get crushed by enemy vehicles, but bomb trucks will explode. And a freeworker will come out of tunnel networks to repair stuff.

 

Thats about all I have, except for that MiGs can create mid-air firestorms that kill themselves, so watchout.

Dont think their bugs, except for the workerthing.

 

*sigh* time to patch it again.

AF General + Tank General + Infantry General = Best combo ever. But my personal preferance is the Nuke General + Laser General. Lasers and Nukes...where can you go wrong? Man's best friends :P

this totally depends on what you are....

if ur a frontline SW general and they are behind you out of harms way then they would be best as airforce or tank or something which they can build without bother of defense

but if ur at the back and u were airforce or tank for e.g. u mite want them to be superwepaon general to protect you with emp patriot

That's a nice strategy, although that means that the enemy would be gunning for the SW general's power more often or, at the worse, gang up on that player so they can take him outta commission. Sure, the SW general can beef up the defences of the Tank and/or AF general, but what happens when the SW General is killed off or the power is knocked out? All attacking forces would be gunning for the other two generals faster than you can say EMP Patriot. Then again, you wouldn't leave yourself undefended even if another player was making your defences, would you?
