GENERALS , TIPS and cheap tactics

[carlsberg]

here's a cheap tactic wen using U.S.A against China [or genally any team]

build an airfield as soon as u finish builing a supply centre

den set d rally point jus outside the enemy base and make a comanche

den upgrade to rocket pods.......by the time the comanche reaches their base it wud have alredy upgraded

while waiting on the comanche make rocket men and load dem up in the chinook and drop dem off in dey base

*rocket men are to take out gattling gun tanks cause the comanche is weak against dat.......

the only other prob wud be the other rocket men on the opponents team.......so take out their barracks 1st

den the war factory.....den the supply centre......after dat its pretty much won........................!!!!!

wouldn't the gattling gun tank have a chance to kill a good bit of infantry?

WTF next to supply center? you was playing a drunk man? tunnel networks are good to have around, hey speed up transport and rebuild your buildings once some wreckage remains . Pathfinders are good for taking out  GLA defences , they kill the men manning the missle launchers.  
 GLA are TERRORISTS , they avoid open battles cause their tanks suck . they use angry mobs and suicide bombers to destroy nme tanks and their toxin tractors will mop up the rest .
  Chinese are swarmers . They build up 15-20 tanks , a few overlords with propoganda towers [ speeds up firing rate , heals units ] and hundreds of troops then they storm the nme bases .  
   The us are BUSH PEOPLE . they complain and whine and will send you the huge construction bills . They use air power and tanks to overcome most nmes , the flashbangs are the best way to kill units and garrisons

Am GLA Tanks would crush main american and chinese tanks(crusader+battlemaster) when full upgraded cuz there fire rate is much faster...they would be doin 25% more damage with upgrades and their scorpion missle with toxin shells jus add tons more damage to enemy units...if u don't believe me try it....let a fully upgraded scorpion go against these tanks with full upgrades and see who win                    

[Rommel]

those arn't the "main" tanks

the chinese main tank is the overlord, battlemaster is just a cheaper faster alternative

crusader is the same for the paladin and americans should move with infantry and air support and artillery

tomahawks is the real US killer

those arn't the \"main\" tanks

the chinese main tank is the overlord, battlemaster is just a cheaper faster alternative

crusader is the same for the paladin and americans should move with infantry and air support and artillery

tomahawks is the real US killer

this depends on the intial game resources...i mean if you start with low fund the majority of tanks you would build are those 2.....or yea and paladin tanks do the same damage as crusaders just that they have an anti missile system

i get crappy in this game..i ent play it in a long time but i fine a good strat for normal generals probably zh is
for usa
pump rocket men and rangers with flash bangs and that kill a whole setta squads
this is supposed to be used for startings eh cus eventually china planes or other wise cud kill them                    

[TaC_uP]

Another tactic with GLA is to build demo charges by supplies or along enemy paths(supply + attack)

This would destroy enemy squads or at least one squad

And it would have the enemy looking for the demo charges and slowing their advances

You can also build demo charges in your base in case you lose all your units or in case of those damn camoflauged heros (black lotus,etc)                    

[carlsberg]

wouldn't the gattling gun tank have a chance to kill a good bit of infantry?

NOT REALLY........its 8 tank hunters on one gattling tank.....

sure some would be injured.....but wen dey level up they wud start to heal

demselves

and den you take out d war factory b4 dey cud build more tanks......and don't

4get bout the comanche.....he's equipped with rocket pods....takes out

buildings even faster.....[however its a bit crooked]....but u gotta upgrade it

to laser guided missles.......                    

[TaC_uP]

That strat definitely not for ppl who cannot micro under pressure

they would be studying about dere units that are attacking and forget air support

believe me i have seen it many times                    

[unimatrix001]

well all i is play wit is USA and to me i fine dat USA Airforce General is de best for offence.

build plenty combat chinook, load with 6 rocket soldiers and 2 snipers and yuh good to go, but make sure you send in mass amounts. oh yea you may want to put the strategy centre on "hold the line" strategy. those chinooks real vulnerable to gattling cannons and lasers so every bit of defence helps. but i love to go with bombardment so the comat chinooks can actually destroy the gattling tank or whatever b4 it gets enough time to kill the unit.

now some may disagree with me on this, but if you send those combat chinooks with stealth comanchees (and a lot of them too) thats a very good attack force. those stealth comanchees are very effective if you use them correctly. but if the opponent has a very good defence made up of lasers or gattling cannons, the best thing to use for that are the aurora bombers. 2 aurora bombers would destroy the defence platforms. a next thing you can do is use the aurora bombers to take out power, or you can just bild plenty auroras and just destry everything one by one. now you can use this aurora bomber tactic even better with USA Superweapon General. (well the aurora alpha's)

if you play as normal USA, send in a lot of crusader tanks, those tanks are actually very good. for every 7 crusader tanks, you should put 1 laser humvee to them and 2 humvees filled with rocketmen and snipers.


for me i find when playing with china tank general, just rush the opponent with emperor overloards and ECM tanks. well more overloards than ecm. but the battlemasters with autoloader upgrade is very good, especially when in hoard. for nuke general, the nuke migs is whats good.

for gla, i fine the best thing is the quad cannon. them ting real dread i eh care wah no one say, especially when in large groups.                    

[mangoseed_89]

well for people who not good at multitaskin in difficult situations
should set labels for a group of units
like have a group of 8 MiG's as 1
and a group of tanks as another
so label the planes with ctrl+1
and label the tanks with ctrl+2
so allyuh have to do iz just press the number for the specific group
and have the groups attackin diffenerent targets at the same time

heres a tip..everytime u play a multiplayer game hit ctrl+c and u will hear the gla cheering in the back                    

[carlsberg]

here is a tip dat mite be usefull or useless.....it depends....0_0'

Pressing the "H" key when in a multiplayer game playing as any team zooms in on our base Command Centre[usefull if you low on power and being attacked]...0_o
                                                                                                                                           [saves time scrolling the map looking for your base]....

pressing the "Q" key selects all your units[with attack capabilites][includes air and ground units]......[usefull if u gonna lose and u want to go down in a blaze of glory]o_0'''

How to order your unit to a multiple locations:

1st click on where you want it to go.

2nd "ALT" and "LEFT CLICK" on the next location[you should see a line leading from the original location to the next]

3rd continue "ALT" and left clicking without releasing the "ALT" key until you have finished ordering your unit.....[good for surveying the map with air units]
                                                                                                                                                            [good for avoid threats][good for every damn ting]                    

[carlsberg]

the tips above also are applicable for solo player/skirmish

and Frozen i did the Ctrl+C and when I zoom in on idle infantry [e.g. red guard]
you see them cheering, jumping, dancing and saluting.......
it real kewl.........<('.'<).....(^.^).....(>'.')>.....().......t('.'t)                    

[carlsberg]

right clicking while holding down the right button and draging the mouse also scrolls the map

it saves time instead of draging mouse to the parameters of the screen.........scrolls faster                    

[Lionheart]

Do you guys play it online?

[KillerSlim]

Build as much scud storms as possible then select one at a time. Press Q twice then hold crtl abd select the area where u want to attck, but not at a buildind the area close to one. BTW all yr troops will go there as well so it's a win/lose thing.
