Version 0.95
The initial release. I just need a Walkthrough on the last Chinese mission in
its first Campaign and some information on LAN and Online multiplayer.
============
2.0 >Basics<
============
Here are the basics for the everyday RTS, as well as some specific hints for
this game.
-There's always a certain supply called money. This is used to build Structures
and make units and purchase upgrades. The second, called Power, is to maintain
a steady amount of electricity for many Structures. If the Power demand is
higher than what's available, the radar will go out, and some defences will be
powered down!
-Usually, there's some Tech Structures in the map. If they are captured, the
owning side gets their reward. Each type of Tech Structure has its own
function. Other neutral Structures can be garrisoned by Infantry.
-Combat units will gain experience whenever they kill an enemy. Once they reach
the next level, they receive a gold stripe. One stripe (Veteran) increases
their firing rate. Two stripes (Elite) allow them to automatically heal. Three
stripes (Heroic) increase their damage. Generals can also acheive advanced
ranks. Whenever they get promoted, they earn another point (Rank 5 awards 3
points). Generals can only get certain abilities at certain ranks.
-Sometimes, there's a Black Shroud covering unexplored terrain. If a friendly
unit goes towards it, the Shroud will unwind and reveal more of the map. If a
unit leaves the area, then that part of the map will be covered by a lighter
fog, called "The Fog Of War". This shows Buildings and terrain, but hides
units.
-Units can Guard, Attack-Move, or use other special abilities. Guarding makes
them guard the area from enemies, including hostile Structures. Attack-Move
makes the unit move to the area, as well as attacking other targets on the way.
-Each side has a Super Weapon, and each has a certain recharge timer. Once it
reaches zero, it can be used. If the power is low, then Particle Cannon and
Nuclear Missile Silo timers will freeze.
-When wounded or damaged, units can enter Barrackses, War Factories/Arms
Dealers, and Air Fields to heal themselves at their respective Structures. Even
Worker units can heal themselves!
--------------
2.1 >Factions<
--------------
There are three sides in the game, each one having its strengths and
weaknesses.
-------------
United States
-------------
The USA are the most versitalle army of the three. They are also the most high-
tech. Along with those, no other faction can match the USA in airpower. The USA
excels in quality with the most balanced kind of units. However, with a slow
moving economy, casualties for the USA will be more serious and costly. It
takes a lot of money to keep America functioning.
-----
China
-----
Chinese armies are very powerful with straightforward brute force, and can
produce their units in large numbers. Their Aircraft is made of the essentials
in that category, and the Dragon provides plenty of ways to produce Infantry.
Unfortunately for them, the Chinese Empire lacks speedy units, which can hamper
their scouting abilities, and can be rushed by other armies.
-----------------
Global Liberation
-----------------
The Global Liberation Army, or the GLA are very resourceful and can gain money
from almost anything! They make use of what's left of their victims, and use
biological weapons, suicide bombers, and stealthy spies to outdo their
oppresors. None of their buildings require power either. The vulnerable side of
this faction is that their units initially come in poor quality, and do not
have the use of Aircraft.
-----------
2.2 >Units<
-----------
Units are what attack other enemy units and Structures. They are vital to,
well, everything! Note that most Aircraft will need to return to a friendly
Air Field to restock on its weapons. Some Helicopter-based Aircraft, like the
Comanche, do not need to return to an Air Field unless for repairs.
Infantry can be run over by all vehicles.
-------------
United States
-------------
All USA Armour (except for the Dozer) can use up to one Drone for extra
support. They are usually the first targets for Anti-Aircraft attacks, and can
be used to draw fire away.

can kill Infantry very fast with his machine gun, which can also be effective
against Armour. Burton can also plant explosives on Armour and Structures.
Lastly, he can assassinate an enemy soldier with his knife. Burton will lose
his cover when he fires his gun or plants an explosive.

the small laser, which can destroy enemy rockets.
******************
*Tomahawk Missile*
******************
Class: Armour.
Purpose: Anti-Defence.

transport units and can drop Rangers into Garrisoned Buildings, clearing them
out entirely. Up to eight Infantry's space can be inside a Chinook. Two of
these helicopters should be used for each supply area. Collects $600 per trip.

Requires: Available At Start.
Upgrades: Laser Missiles, Countermeasures, Advanced Training.

Raptors make up most of the Air Force for the USA. They carry four rockets to
fire at, and can shoot them at any target. For this reason, they should be used
to defend against other Aircraft.
**********
*Comanche*
**********
Class: Aircraft.
Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Anti-Armour.
Role: Secondary Aircraft.
Weapon Type: Bullet, Rocket.
Good Versus: Infantry, Armour.

and can carry up to four auto-reloadable rockets. They can also fire a salvo of
rockets at a selected area.
***************
*Aurora Bomber*
***************
Class: Aircraft.
Purpose: Anti-Defence.
Role: Artillery.
Weapon Type: Bomb.
Good Versus: Defences, Structures.
Bad Versus: Infantry, Aircraft.
Armour: Medium.
Speed: Very Fast.
Stealth: No.
Cost: $2500.
Requires: Strategy Centre.
Upgrades: Countermeasures, Advanced Training.
Games: Both.
Just two Aurora Bombers can destroy an average building (three for GLA
Structures)! Because they are made for base assault, their bombs could miss
Armour. At first, they fly so fast, that they are invulnerable to Anti-Air
weapons! When they drop the delivery, they return to normal speed. Because of
their deadly payloads and invulnerability when delivering it, most multiplayer
matches forbid the use of these planes.
*****************
*Stealth Fighter*
*****************
Class: Aircraft.
Purpose: Anti-Defence, Anti-Armour, Anti-Aircraft.
Role: Special Aircraft.
Weapon Type: Rocket.
Good Versus: Defences, Armour, Garrisoned Buildings.

Cost: $1600.
Requires: General's Ability.
Upgrades: Bunker Busters, Laser Missiles, Countermeasures, Advanced Training.
Games: Both.
Stealth Fighters are safe ways to destory Defences, including Garrisoned
Structures. They carry two rockets to fire with. The bad news is that they
require a General's Ability to be made, decreasing their frequency of use.
-----
China
-----
Red Guards, Tank Hunters, and BattleMasters benifit from the Horde Effect,
which increases their firing rate. Available when in groups of five or more.
*******

Armour: Medium.
Speed: Medium.
Stealth: No.
Cost: $300.
Requires: Available At Start.
Upgrades: Nationalism, Capture Building.
Games: Both.
Red Guards are the main Infantry for China. Because they are best used in

*************
*Tank Hunter*
*************
Class: Infantry.
Purpose: Anti-Armour, Anti-Aircraft.
Role: Secondary Infantry.

Stealth: No.
Cost: $300.

Role: Worker, Special Infantry.
Weapon Type: High-Tech.
Good Versus: Structures.
Bad Versus: Infantry, Armour, Aircraft.
Armour: Low.
Speed: Medium.
Stealth: No.
Cost: $625.
Requires: Propaganda Centre.
Upgrades: None.
Games: Both.
Hackers can supply a superb amount of money with their laptops. Along with
that, they can disable Structures, but sadly, this cannot apply to Defences,
but it does work on Bombardment Strategy Centres and Garrisoned Palaces.
*************
*Black Lotus*
*************
Class: Infantry.
Purpose: Capture Buildings, Anti-Armour, Base Infiltration.
Role: Hero.
Weapon Type: High-Tech.
Good Versus: Structures, Armour.
Bad Versus: Infantry, Aircraft.
Armour: Medium.
Speed: Medium.
Stealth: Yes.
Cost: $1500.

Upgrades: None.
Games: Both.
The Chinese Hero is Black Lotus, an agent who can Capture Buildings quickly and
from a range. She can also power down Armour for a short period of time, and
can steal $1000 from an enemy Supply Building. Because she is revealed when
using her tools, she should have some cover while doing so. Her Capture
Building ability does not need to recharge.
**************
*Supply Truck*
**************
Class: Armour.
Purpose: Money Making.
Role: Worker.
Weapon Type: None.
Good Versus: None.
Bad Versus: Armour, Aircraft.
Armour: Low.

Games: Both.
China's BattleMasters make up most of China's Armour. In groups, they can be
powerful, and they are versitalle and flexible.
***************
*Gattling Tank*
***************
Class: Armour.
Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Anti-Aircraft.
Role: Secondary Armour.
Weapon Type: Bullet.
Good Versus: Infantry, Aircraft.
Bad Versus: Armour, Defences.
Armour: Medium.
Speed: Fast.
Stealth: No.
Cost: $800.
Requires: Available At Start.
Upgrades: Chain Guns.
Games: Both.
Gattling Tanks can be very lethal to Infantry and Aircraft, because their
weapons are highly accurate, and spin faster overtime. Gattling Tanks can also
be effective against light targets.
*************
*Dragon Tank*
*************
Class: Armour.
Purpose: Anti-Infantry, Clear Garrisoned Structures.
Role: Secondary Armour.
Weapon Type: Fire.
Good Versus: Infantry, Garrisoned Buildings.
Bad Versus: Aircraft.
Armour: Medium.
Speed: Medium.
Stealth: No.
Cost: $800.
Requires: Available At Start.
Upgrades: Black Napalm.
Games: Both.
Dragon Tanks can be a nightmare to Infantry, even in buildings! The Dragon Tank
tops over the Toxin Tractor because Fire is more accurate than Anthrax. It can
also make a wall of fire.

-----------------
Global Liberation
-----------------
When enemy Armour is destroyed, they leave some parts. For the true and native
GLA Generals, their units can use it to upgrade its stats. For some, it allows
new kinds of attacks, and for others, it simply increases its armour and power.
Units that cannot salvage these parts will only sell them for some cash. In the
original game, only Technicals, Quad Cannons, and Marauder Tanks can make
different uses of these advantages. Up to two "ranks" can be achieved from
these special resources.

Saboteurs are for infiltrating bases. When they enter most Structures, the
Building is disabled for a period of time. When they enter a Supply Building,
they steal $1000. When they enter a Command Centre or a Super Weapon, their
ability timer is reset. They are often considered useless when there are many
Defences around.

Games: Both.
GLA Hijackers are only used to capture Armour. They are stealthed only when
stationary, so it is hard to catch a vehicle with this unit. They require a
General's Ability, and they must enter a vehicle to capture it, so don't even
bother using this unit, because Jarmen Kell's method of capturing Armour is
MUCH safer. The only advantage Hijackers have over Jarmen Kell is the fact that
they will eject themselves when their vehicle is destroyed.

Requires: Palace.
Upgrades: Arm The Mob.
Games: Both.
Angry Mobs are very special units. They are signed up at the Barracks, but
unlike standard Infantry, they come in groups. If some members die, they will
eventually be replaced. When trained, they start as a group of five and grow
quickly. Most of the members are armed with pistols while some others throw
homemade grenades (Hey! That rhymes!). When given weapons with the GLA seal of
quality, their standard attacks are increased dramatically. Don't have them
assault Defences, and have them avoid Gattling weapons at all costs. The other
con of this unit is that the group cannot enter Structures and other Units,
impairing their mobility.

Games: Both.
Jarmen Kell is the GLA's best method of capturing Armour. Along with picking
off Infantry, he can also assassinate drivers out of Armour, allowing Infantry
to capture them, much like the Neutron Nuke Cannon. When upgraded with the AP
Bullets, it is rumoured that he can fire faster.

Requires: Available At Start.
Upgrades: Radar Scan, Junk Repair.
Games: Both.
This vehicle provides the GLA with a standard radar. If the power is low, the
radar will still function thanks to this unit. It can also scan a certain
portion of the map, like the USA Command Centre. Its equipment allows it to
detect stealth easily. Keep it at safe places unless needed for scouting.

Requires: Available At Start.
Upgrades: Scorpion Rocket, Toxin Shells, Junk Repair, Anthrax Beta.
Games: Both.
GLA Scorpion Tanks are initially poor compared to the other main tanks, so it
needs to be upgraded fast. With the Scorpion Rocket, it can do some damage to
Armour and groups of Infantry. With Toxin Shells, it can be somewhat effective
against Infantry. In Zero Hour, if they collect two piles of parts, they earn
a second Rocket, if available.

Stealth: No.
Cost: $500.
Requires: Available At Start.
Upgrades: AP Bullets, Junk Repair.
Games: Both.
Armed Trucks are the main sort of transport for the GLA. The Infantry inside
cannot fire out, and they have no TOW Missile, making Humvees superior to them.
They can salvage items. The first upgrade gives them a shell-firing turret,
allowing them to fend off Armour better (but still not good enough). The second
allows them to shoot at Aircraft with their rockets. Technicals are still good
for transporting groups of Infantry, including Terrorists.

Cycles can arm any kind of GLA Infantry. Their weapons are duplicated onto
their bike, so having a Terrorist drive one of these can make it a quick
suicide vehicle. Even Jarmen Kell can snipe on it, even able to use his trump

Stealth: Disguise.
Cost: $1200.
Requires: Palace.
Upgrades: High Explosive Bomb, Bio Bomb, Junk Repair, Anthrax Beta.
Games: Both.
Another suicidal unit is this one. Armed with bombs, the Truck can detonate
itself and near enemy units and Structures. If it needs to assault a Defence,
it needs to be lightning quick. A disguise can be used on it and make a nasty
suprise, although Detectors will not fall for the prank. It can be upgraded to
deal more damage and leave something at the aftermath.

Games: Zero Hour Only.
A Battle Bus can hold up to eight Infantry, and they can shoot out of it. When
destroyed, it can last a little longer for the Infantry to escape until it is
destroyed for the second time. When smashed for the first time, it can no
longer move. With RPG Troopers inside, it can be a good substitute for tanks.
***************

Stealth: No.
Cost: $1200.
Requires: Palace, General's Ability.
Upgrades: Anthrax Beta, Junk Repair.
Games: Both.
SCUD Launchers are the true Artillery for the GLA. Much like Tomahawks, they
launch a Missile to their targets. The Missiles do more damage and leave behind
Anthrax. The Missile can be ajusted to contain more Anthrax alone.
**********
*Marauder*

Class: Armour.
Purpose: Anti-Armour, Anti-Structure.

Armour: High.
Speed: Medium.
Stealth: No.
Cost: $800.
Requires: General's Ability.
Upgrades: Toxin Shells, Junk Repair, Anthrax Beta.
Games: Both.
Although the weakest of the Ultimate Tanks, the Marauder is the most
resourceful. It costs the least and can salvage parts. It can also upgrade to
have Anthrax included with its shells, and when it gains a second pile of
parts, it gains a second barrel. There are still reasons why the Scorpion
should be chosen over the Marauder. The Marauder's turret cannot move, making
it vulnerable when mobile. It does not have the use of the Scorpion Rocket
either.

2.3 >Structures<
----------------
Structures all have at least one purpose. Some only allow one of them to be
built while others should be used in number. All three sides can make a Command
Centre, a Barracks, a Supply Centre/Stash, a War Factory/Arms Dealer, and a
Super Weapon.

The Stinger Site is much like the Patriot Missile, but cheaper and does not
consume any electricity. The biggest downside of this though, is the fact that
the three Infantry inside are vulnerable to fire, snipers, biological waste,

are that it's bigger than the Patriot and that it cannot alert other Sites.

*Carpet Bomber*
***************
Type: Action.
Replaces: None.
Deployed At: The Strategy Centre.
Available At: 1 Star.
Ranks: 1.
Changes: Like the Chinese Carpet Bomber, except dropped by a Stealth Bomber.
Granger's Carpet Bomber can be available earlier and can harass bases.
-------------
Modifications
-------------
Pros:
-Stealth Fighters are available at start.
-Aircraft cost less to produce.
-All Aircraft can use lasers to destroy enemy Rockets.
-Spectre Gunship is available at 3 Stars, instead of 5 Stars, and comes in 3
ranks.
Cons:
-Crusader Tanks are unavailable.
-Paladin Tanks are unavailable.
-Some Armour cost more to produce.
Granger's tactics are almost soley based on using his Aircraft. Because of
this, he needs to create a lot of Air Fields and requires lots of space in his
base. Almost all of his Aircraft can be protected against Anti-Air Rockets.
Without Tanks, he needs to rely on Infantry and Humvees for his ground forces.
Units that come at his Reinforcement Pads are Humvees.
The Air Force General requires lots of Air Fields, so target them first. The
only Aircraft that don't truly need them are his helicopters. His Aircraft is
nearly invulnerable to Rockets, unless there are plenty to waste. Therefore,
use Gattling weapons, Quad Cannons, or Lasers to bring them down quickly.
Avoid using Aircraft against him, because his Aircraft will simply prevail, so
use ground forces to assault his base.
Granger is a bit aged, but not in his spirit. He is very quirky, witty, and can
act very youthful dispite his age, and likes to tease his opponents when they
have problems, especially when they have trouble getting across terrain.

-Leaflet Drop is available at 3 Stars, instead of 5 Stars.
Cons:
-Crusader Tanks are unavailable.
-Paladin Tanks are unavailable.
-Most Armour cost more to produce.
-Comanches cost more to produce.
General Alexander doesn't use units, but instead, uses crazy weapons to defeat
her opponents. Her EMP Patriots are mainly for defending her base, as she
relies heavily on it. The Advanced Control Rods supply for the EMP Patriots,
so she relies on them very heavily as well. She hardly uses ground forces, if
ever. Her reinforcement unit are Tomahawk Missiles.
Alexander relies on her CF Reactors, so destroying many of them can make her
vulnerable to assaults. Her EMP Patriots should not be attacked by Aircraft,
unless they have to. Destroying her key Structures could put her into defeat.
The Super Weapon General acts like a girl, teasing her challengers when she
wins and spouts when she looses. She also expects to win every time, and when
she doesn't, she can get mad! Also, she prefers to take her time and mocks
whoever tends to rush.

*Laser Crusader*
****************
Replaces: Crusader/Paladin.
Changes: Fires Lasers instead of shells, requires 1 power each.
Cost: $900.
Laser Crusaders have more accurate weapons, but each of them requires 1 power.
If the power is out, they are disabled until the power is up and running again.
-------------
Modifications
-------------
Pros:
-Avengers cost less to produce.
-Cold Fusion Reactors generate more power.
Cons:
-Tomahawk Missiles are unavailable.
General Townes is the most versitalle USA General, mainly because he can make
Tanks, but he does not have significant losses from the lack of Tomahawks (as
they can be replaced by Microwave Tanks). With his Laser Turrets and cheaper
Avengers, he is a master of Defence. His main battle unit is his trusty Laser
Crusader.
Because of his high dependency on his Reactors, Townes is vulnerable when his
Power is out. He also often crowds his base with power plants, so target them.
Once his power is low, he will be a sitting duck against an assault.
Townes is so obsessed with his specialty, he even enjoys saying the word laser.
He usually plans ahead before he faces against his opponent and usually gets
confused when things don't work out, even though he practiced often.

Cons:
-BattleMasters are unavailable.

-Overlords are unavailable.
General Fai uses massive amounts of Infantry for battle, as well as many
utilities for them. Most of his army is Anti-Aircraft, which is effective
against any kind of Aircraft. Assault Transports are his assault unit.
Fai's main weakness is that most of his stuff is costly, and requires numbers
to produce. Big Infantry killers, such as biological weapons, can reduce his
forces to dust, and Super Weapons can inflict some damage to his economy.
The Anvil prefers to use big numbers of his units. He also has faith in his
soldiers, implying that a group of his Infantry can do lots to a Tank. Fai has
a knack for encouraging people to join his side, and scoffs at the number 100.

Pros:
-Nuke Cannons are available at start.
-Uranium Shells and Nuclear Tanks Upgrades are available at start.
-Nuclear Missiles cost less to produce.
-Tank Shells leave behind Nuclear residue.
Cons:
-Infantry cost more to train.
-Aircraft cost more to produce.
General Tao (not the chicken cook) is the most balanced General in the game,
mainly due to the fact that he can use every Chinese Unit. His Nuclear arsenal
is equally deadly, and the mess he leaves behind can do a lot of things. With
better Nuclear Reactors, maintaining a base should not be a problem to him.
As usual, his modified BattleMaster is his main unit.
Tao may be have no gaps in his units, but he still has a certain weakness. His
strength all relies on later technology, so if he is rushed, he might not be
able to reach that stage.
Shi Tao "The Nuke", easily maintains his anger, but can be upset when his silos
become leveled. He doesn't mind messes, or at least his own. Tao is also a
generous person, but, alas, in a negative way.

-Carpet Bomber is available at 5 Stars, instead of 3 Stars.
Kwai uses Armour and little else to achieve sucess. Because of the total lack
of Artillery, and the extended cost of Infantry and Aircraft, he needs to use
large amounts of Armour to assault bases. His Armour cost less to produce,
allowing to build any vehicle quickly! The common BattleMaster is his Tech
Armour.
General Kwai's main weakness is his main dependency on Armour. If all of his
War Factories are destroyed and cannot be replaced, his strength will be
inactive.
Kwai often laughs at his own jokes, even more when the subject is about Armour.
He gets more angry when his War Factories get destroyed more than when his
Command Centre does. Also, he thinks that other types of Armour is inferrior
compared to his.
Here's a way to guarantee victory sent in by John "pro_gamerz_93" Livingston:
"1. Directly after starting, build 4 Construction Dozers ( ozers from now on)
at the Command Centre and upgrade the Radar as well. At the General's Power
tab, pick Battlemaster Elite Training.
2. Use the first Dozer to build a Nuclear Reactor to supply power. Build more
if necessary.
3. Use the second Dozer to build a Barracks. Build these nearby Supply Docks to
provide soldiers . After all, you'll need to defend your supply lines, right?
4. By now, the Nuclear Reactor should've finished construction. Use that Dozer
to build a Supply Centre. Expand your base if the need arises.
5. Use the third Dozer to build another Nuke Reactor.
6. After your Supply Centre has finished construction, reinforce it with
Bunkers and Gattling Cannons. A good combination is a Gattling Cannon for every
2 Bunkers built. At the same time, use ALL Dozers to build at least 4 War
Factories. Leave a Dozer to guard your primary defences. At this point, build
more Dozers to keep up with production.
7. When your War Factories are finished, crank out at least 10 Battlemasters,
10 Gattling Tanks and 10 Dragon Tanks . Build more just to be safe. Continue
base construction as you do this. Also, research Chain Guns and Black Napalm
upgrades.
8. Now, separate your tanks into 3 teams. Team 1 will be your Battlemasters,
Team 2 consists of Gattling Tanks and Team 3 are your Dragon Tanks. Move them
nearby the enemy base and put Team 1 and 2 on standby . Now, do as instructed
below :-
A ) Torch the enemy defensive lines with Team 3 . Destroy ALL of them.
B ) Direct Team 1 and 2 into the base and basically OBLITERATE every single
structure you can see. And, you're done!
C ) If there is more than one base, repeat steps A and B.
And, there you go ! 8 simple steps to OWN your enemies. Just remember, this
strategy is harder to perform if you're facing a Human enemy because they're
smart enough to build A TON of defences early on to prevent rushes like this.
Good luck trying to rush your opponents!"
The first seven steps are also an effective strategy to get the Tank Honour.

Its range and accuracy are decreased though, and is not as effective against
Armour as the original.

Replaces: Rebel.
Changes: Fires Anthrax instead of Bullets.
Cost: $150.
Toxin soldiers can be a greater threat to Infantry. Like the Toxin Network,
their range and accuracy are decreased.
*****************
*Toxin Terrorist*
*****************
Replaces: Terrorist.
Changes: Leaves behind some Anthrax residue.
Cost: $200.
Terrorists can be slightly more efficient in Dr. Thrax's army.

Replaces: Anthrax Beta.
Type: Unit/Structure Upgrade.
Enables: Improved Offence.
Purchased At: A Palace.
Applies To: Toxin Rebels, Toxin Terrorists, Toxin Tractors, SCUD Launchers,
Toxin Networks, SCUD Storms, Scorpions, Marauders, Bomb Trucks.
Cost: $2500.
Description: Increases Anthrax damage by another %25.
Anthrax Gamma turns Toxins from Blue to Purple!

Modifications
-------------
Pros:
-Toxin Shells Upgrade is available at start.
-Anthrax Beta Upgrade is available at start.
-Rockets are Toxin-Tipped.
Cons:
-Units, Upgrades, or Abilities that make use of Stealth are unavailable, except
for Jarmen Kell.
-High Explosive Bomb for Bomb Trucks is unavailable.
-Most Armour cost more to produce.
Dr. Thrax's army, predictably, uses Toxins for a primary weapon. Because of
this, he can mow down Infantry very easily, and his Anthrax can also, when
powerful and concentrated enough, threaten the existence of Armour! His main
Armour is the Scorpion Tank.
Thrax's vulnerable part is where he lacks stealth the most and uses too much
Anthrax instead of base weapons, where he gets weak on Armour. Aircraft can be
mostly unaffected by his strength, leaving him to only use regular units to
deal with them.
The Toxin Doctor has become insane. He laughs a lot and likes to deliver his
nasty oose of madness. Dr. Thrax dismisses everything that he looses and
concentrates on a sadistic way to deal with his opponents.

Replaces: Jarmen Kell.
Changes: Jarmen Kell can now plant Remote or Timed Demo charges.
Cost: $1500.
It seems that Jarmen Kell has stolen a few weapons from Col. Burton, and now
knows how to use his own. Like Burton, he can plant explosives on Structures,
allowing him to be a danger to Structures as well as Infantry and lonely
Armour.

*********
*Suicide*
*********
Replaces: None.
Type: Unit Upgrade.
Enables: New Ability.
Purchased At: A Palace.
Applies To: Every Unit except for Angry Mobs.
Cost: $2000.
Description: Units are able to detonate themselves like Terrorists.
Every unit can do the damage like Terrorists with this Upgrade.
-------------
Modifications
-------------
Pros:
-Booby Trap Upgrade is available at start.
-Bomb Trucks cost less to produce.
-Terrorists do more damage.
-When Combat Cycles are created, they start with a Terrorist.
Cons:
-Units, Upgrades, or Abilities that make use of Stealth are unavailable, except
for Jarmen Kell.
-Anthrax Upgrades are unavailable. SCUD Missiles use explosives only.
-All unmentioned Armour cost more to produce.
Juhziz prefers to finish off his foes with quick explosive strikes. Even though
he seldom uses, let alone pays attention to Anthrax weapons, his SCUD Missiles
can do more damage, with the SCUD Storm capable of taking out a Superweapon in
one strike! Most of his units can detonate on command, allowing loiterers to be
used. Pairs of Combat Cycles come at his Reinforcement Pads.
Juhziz's weakness is that most of his units can be wasted, and he needs to make
more. Not much can stop his forces, but his economy is vulnerable to his own
recklessness. Aircraft can also safely attack his base without having to get
blown up by a Terrorist.
The Demo General likes to scare his opponents, much about his own explosive
addiction. His bases are always secure, and if he loses any bombs, he can
easily replace them with little worry. He also started to talk about deliveries
lately...

Prince Kassad
-------------
The Stealth master likes to sneak up on enemy bases and suprise enemy troops.
-------------
Modifications
-------------
Pros:
-Hijackers are available at start. Hijackers are always stealthed unless
detected.
-Camoflauge Upgrade is available at start.
-Camo Netting Upgrade is available to Defences at start.
-Camo Netting Upgrade applies to ALL Structures.
-GPS Scrambler is available at 3 Stars, instead of 5 Stars.
-GPS Scrambler recharges faster.
-Once Camo Netting is purchased at a Supply Stash, Workers there will be
stealthed when gathering supplies.
Cons:
-Scorpion Tanks are unavailable.
-Marauder Tanks are unavailable.
-SCUD Launchers are unavailable.
Prince Kassad's arsenal is special because he is the only special General who
makes use of Stealth. He does it at a great cost though, lacking both Tanks AND
superior Artillery. Because of those, he must rely on Quad Cannons, Battle
Buses, and Rocket Buggies to be his main battle units. Despite those, he is a
strong player at Defence, and he should make use of his strength to make up for
his losses. Due to the fact that every one of his Structures can be
camoflauged, he can keep his SCUD Storms hidden from his enemies. His
reinforcement unit is the Technical.
Kassad's obvious weakness is the lack of strong units. Detectors can spot his
traps, and Artillery can reveal them even further. Be aware of suprises while
facing this General, because he can be prepared for anything!
The Prince is a surly, sneaky, yet calm leader, and likes to scare his
opponents. He continues to worry his enemies when they pass a supposedly
unguarded area, and thinks that his soldiers are invulnerable as well as
invisible.
=================================
3.00 >First Campaign Walkthrough<
=================================
This guide assumes that the Original Generals is being used. This campaign is
only available in the original game. Also, in different campaigns, experience
is carried over to the next mission, and those points can be spent. Sometimes,
the availablility of some abilities change. The Fun Factor meter is a scale of
1 (Boring) to 10 (Great Fun!).
===========================
3.10 >China First Campaign<
===========================
The story actually begins at the Tutorial level, then it comes here.
----------------------------------
3.11 >China 1 "The Dragon Awakes"<
----------------------------------
Location: Beijing, China.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 5.
Objectives:
-Secure the City.
-Destroy the Nuclear Warhead Storage Building.
Notes: Red Guards, BattleMasters, and Dragon Tanks are introduced. Tank
Hunters, Troop Crawlers, and Overlords can also be used. Inferno Cannons make
a cameo.
Overview: At a military parade in Beijing is rudely interrupted by GLA
Terrorists. The Chinese army manages to defend themselves, until a GLA Nuclear
warhead detonates at the centre, destroying many buildings. The Chinese army is
now at full alert, and want to get their "Vendetta"...
Opinion: This is the Chinese introduction mission, and boy, is it ever easy!
There are a few secrets here, and even on Brutal Difficulty, this one should be
a breeze!
In the General's Window, select:
-Red Guard Training.
-Emergency Repair.
The mission starts at the Chinese Base. Right now, it is under attack by car
bombs, so have the Red Guards and the three Dragon Tanks "Guard" the area so
that they will attack the pair of cars automatically. Otherwise, the Bunkers
and the Infantry inside are doomed to a fatal demise. Advance across the road,
attacking the Technicals along the way, and five BattleMasters will come. The
warhead did not destroy ALL of the parade, and there are still more survivors.
At the southwest corner of the city, there's a pair of Overlords that can be
used early in the campaign. Search the southeast corner of the Tiananmen Square
to find more BattleMasters and Dragon Tanks. When ready, assault the Tunnel
Network to secure the bridge, then cross it. A squad of MIGs will decimate an
incoming GLA convoy.
The final task is to destroy the Nuke Bunker, so that the GLA will have no more
control of Nuclear weapons. There are two paths leading to it, the main one
guarded with Infantry and some Scorpion Tanks and Technicals. For an extra
challenge, have the Red Guards and the Overlords assault the front door while
the other Tanks sneak up on the back! For an even further challenge, use Red
Guards only!
---------------------------------
3.12 >China 2 "Hong Kong Crisis"<
---------------------------------
Location: Hong Kong, China.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 4.
Objectives:
-Establish a base.
-Neutralize the Toxin Outpost.
-Destroy the Convention Centre and its attached buildings.
Notes: Tank Hunters and Gattling Tanks are introduced. Overlords make a cameo.
Overview: The next GLA Terrorist Cell is located in Hong Kong, in the
Convention Centre. Chinese intel says that lots of Suicide Bombers, as well as
Toxin weapons are being created there. The Chinese army sent in a massive
assault squad, but a GLA bomb was attached to the bridge, killing %90 percent
of the army, the front units being the alive ones.
Opinion: In Hong Kong, it is a crowded city. Gattling weapons can be useful
here, as lots of Infantry will be sent by the enemy.
In the General's Window, select:
-Red Guard Training.
-Artillery Barage.
-Emergency Repair.
Build a Command Centre with the first Dozer and a Nuclear Reactor with the
second. The only space available is in the soccer field. Build a base with
Defences at both roads, the Bunkers being filled with Tank Hunters. Build
some Gattling Tanks, BattleMasters, and a few more Red Guards to attack the
Toxin Facility. Have the BattleMasters fend off the Tractors, the Gattling
Tanks mow down any Infantry or Car Bombs, and have the Red Guards capture the
Arms Dealer, the Refinery, and the Anthrax Bunker, then secure some Defences
around it. Make a Technical or two and send them back to the main base. Once
ready, explore the southeast area of the base. A ferry is willing to drop off
some Chinese forces to ambush the GLA base. Fill the Technicals up with
Infantry and send them in! For the main entrance, have the Gattling Tanks clear
the Rebels and Terrorists, and the BattleMasters to destroy the Convention
Centre. Sometimes, a train drops off Red Guards, so make use of them.
------------------------------------
3.13 >China 3 "A Flood Of Violence"<
------------------------------------
Location: Three Gorges Dam, China.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 6.
Objectives:
-Destroy the Dam.
-Establish a Base.
-Destroy the GLA Base.
Notes: Black Lotus, Troop Crawlers, and MIGs are introduced.
Overview: Recently, the GLA have invaded the Three Gorges Dam area, and are
threating the Chinese forces. The GLA have assaulted a Chinese Base, and the
remaining forces are in full retreat. The only way to hold off the GLA
attackers long enough to rebuild the base is to destroy the Dam.
Opinion: Aircraft can be important in this mission. There are many GLA units
to attack, and they come in pretty frequently.
In the General's Window, select:
-Artillery Barage.
-Cluster Mines.
-Emergency Repair.
For the time being, have the Tank Hunters inside the Bunker, the Dozer build a
Command Centre, Black Lotus explore the western portion of the map, and the
rest of the troops target the Dam. Once the Dam is broken, it will destroy the
bridge and the lower portion of the GLA Base.
Because the Dam is destroyed, the water level on the upper side is dropping,
and eventually, units will be able to cross it. When Lotus discovers a few tech
Buildings at the northwestern corner, have her Capture them and the Dozer. The
Dozers should now build the rest of the Base, and make some Defences at the new
"passage". Make some Airfields, fill them up with MIGs, and Barage the prepared
GLA forces at the other end of the river. Also, put some Cluster Mines at the
point with three Scorpion Tanks.
Once the water is low enough, the GLA will fall into the trap! From here on,
have the MIGs constantly raiding the Base while the ground troops attack the
main door. The GLA supply source is away from their base, so cutting them off
from it can be ideal.
---------------------------------
3.14 >China 4 "Broken Alliances"<
---------------------------------
Location: Tanggula Mountains, China.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 1.
Objectives:
-Destroy the five Stinger Sites.
-Capture the Chinese War Factory.
Notes: Hackers are introduced.
Overview: A Toxin Facility is located in the Mountains. It is surrounded by a
large river, and if it were to be destroyed by conventional weapons, the Toxins
would spew into the river, spelling disaster. The only way to prevent the
Anthrax from going into the waters and to destroy the Facility is to use Fire.
Unfortunately, the Stinger Sites in the area are preventing MIGs from
attacking. It's up to a commando team to destroy them.
Opinion: I hate this mission, because it is boring. The layout of this map is
a maze, and it takes a long time to get from one point to another.
In the General's Window, select:
-Red Guard Training.
-Cluster Mines.
-Emergency Repair.
-Cash Hack.
At the Barracks, train a group of Hackers to supply some money. Get some more
Infantry and then attack the nearest Stinger Site. Once it is down,
reinforcements will arrive. Capture the Oil Derrick and once ready, attack the
next two Sites. Before advancing, place a circle of Cluster Mines on the next
Site.
Advance, and the Toxin Tractor will fall victim to the mines, and the path is
clear to level the next site. The final one is far away from the team's current
position, but a Chinese War Factory will be located. Use Black Lotus to Capture
it, and have the rest of the Infantry to dispatch the GLA troops. Once done,
build some Dragon Tanks and other Armour, and then assault the base. Capture
the buildings and produce some Quad Cannons, then have the Dragon Tanks and
Quads to cross the bridge, clearing any garrisoned buildings on the way. Then
blow up the final Site, and watch the MIGs fly by!
-------------------------------
3.15 >China 5 "Scorched Earth"<
-------------------------------
Location: Balykchy, Kygryzstan.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 9.
Objectives:
-Destroy the GLA outposts.
-Destroy the GLA main base.
Notes: Overlords and Nuke Cannons are introduced.
Overview: Now that the Toxin Factory is gone, the city of Balykchy is open to
attack. The USA have entered the war, and are giving Carpet Bomber support to
the Chinese.
Opinion: Here is where it gets fun! This is the only mission in the game that
allows Carpet Bombers outside ZH, and many superior units are introduced.
In the General's Window, select:
-Nuke Cannon.
-Artillery Barage.
-Cluster Mines.
The base has a few buildings, but is missing a Barracks, and a War Factory.
Build those and the Propaganda Centre. Right now, the base can fend off the
weak GLA attackers (except for the Rocket Buggies), and the Carpet Bomber is
available instantly at the Air Field. Keep using the Carpet Bomber to hastily
wipe out Camps. The only starting combat units are a pair of Dragon Tanks and
Troop Crawlers. Build some Bunkers with Tank Hunters to fend off Armour.
Create some Overlords and upgrade them with either Gattling or Speaker Towers.
The ones with Gattling Cannons and the Troop Crawlers can detect Demo Traps
burried in the eastern side of the city, but we won't go there yet. For now,
assault the nearest camp northeast of the Chinese Base. Once done, secure the
town square (or circle) and secure the supply dock. North of this position is
another camp. Have a Dozer build a Supply Centre at the square.
The next path taken should be on the tracks. Have the Overlords and Troop
Crawlers scout out the area to clear the Demo Traps and then assault the nearby
camps. At the southeast corner of the map, there are Tech Structures that
should be captured. Once all camps are down, get enough forces to attack the
main GLA Base. It is heavily defended, but the Defences will not be able to
rebuild.
When available, ALWAYS use the Carpet Bomber! It can clear out areas in a jiffy
and can clear Demo Traps too! Using Aircraft can be helpful, although costly.
Avoid the central-north portion of the city; it is heavily guarded and there
are too many Demo Traps and garrisoned Structures there. Speaking of garrisoned
Structures, use Dragon Tanks to clear them out. And as always, best of luck!
-------------------------------------
3.16 >China 6 "Dead In Their Tracks"<
-------------------------------------
Location: Bishkek, Aldastan.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 6.
Objectives:
-Use Black Lotus to destroy the bridge.
-Destroy the Stadium to stop Mob attacks.
-Capture the GLA Supply Stashes.
Notes: Black Lotus can be trained without a Propaganda Centre.
Overview: A train has been recently been captured in this city, and the GLA are
using it to transfer troops. The train must be put to a halt. The most
vulnerable spot on the tracks is the bridge...
Opinion: There's an easier way to complete this mission rather than going
through the city, although it needs to be perfect to be sucessful.
In the General's Window, select:
-Red Guard Training.
Have the Hackers produce some money. Train a few Red Guards, some Tank Hunters,
a pair of Gattling Tanks, and other units just to be safe. Get the whole squad
to the eastern side of the river, and have a Gattling Tank and some Tank
Hunters defend the east side of the outpost. The crack team should advance
upward, having the Gattling Tanks secure the front and back, and killing any
enemy Infantry, and then use Black Lotus to capture the two Supply Stashes to
secure the "island". Across the upper road bridge, have Black Lotus try to
disable one of the Scorpion Tanks, and have the Tank Hunters take care of them.
Once the path is clear, attack the Stinger Sites and the Quad Cannon, and once
it and the Stinger Site soldiers are destroyed, have Black Lotus approach the
bridge, and she will do the rest.
As for defence, the Gattling Cannons can destroy the Angry Mobs while the
defending units defend the east side. It can be vital on defence for the
Nuclear Reactor to survive, but the east side is unguarded by Structures. If
necessary, destroy all Stadium Structures to stop the Angry Mob attacks.
-------------------------------
3.17 >China 7 "Nuclear Winter"<
-------------------------------
Location: Dushanbe, Aldastan.
Difficulty: Insane!
Fun Factor: 5.
Objectives:
-Build a Base.
-Secure Supplies.
-Destroy the GLA.
Notes: Inferno Cannons, the Nuclear Missile, and the EMP Bomb are introduced.
Overview: The final GLA cell is located in this area. The Chinese have sent in
a big army, but are again ambushed by the GLA. The army needs to fend off the
attackers, and need to build a base.
Opinion: This is the hardest mission in the game, let alone BOTH games! The
main idea is to rush, because the GLA makes a SCUD Storm early (which also
happens to be covered in the shroud), and the timer is normal!
In the General's Window, select:
-Nuke Cannon.
-Artillery Barage.
-EMP Pulse or Cluster Mines.
-Emergency Repair.
Wipe out the attacking GLA force with extreme prejudice. Be sure to upgrade the
Overlord Tanks with a Speaker Tower and a Gattling Cannon, respectively. There
is a pair of Dozers waiting to get to work. Construct a Command Centre in the
open space.
There's a small GLA outpost to the southeast. Use the Overlord Tanks to
overwhelm the occupants, and have the Inferno Cannons take out the Defences
from afar. Focus on taking out the Structures as quickly as possible.
These Supplies won't last; the Chinese will need to enter the town and gather
what they can. There's an Oil Derrick north of this location (the starting army
lost all their Red Guards; train more at the Barracks), plus a few more
Supplies. Additional Supplies can be located in the southwestern corner of the
village, as well as to the north (these Supplies are defended, however). There
are also a pair of Oil Derricks to the north, so Capture them while they're
still up for grabs. Secure each and every one of these Supplies by building a
Supply Centre next to them. Feel free to build a forward base consisting of a
Barracks and War Factory. Don't stop spending; the GLA are always on the
attack! An alternative is to build lots and lots of Hackers.
Jarmen Kell is cowering in the dead centre of the town. His location can be
identified by the flag above one of the buildings. Use the MiGs to burn him to
a crisp.
The GLA will constantly harass our heroes with batallions of Infantry and
Artillery, plus Armour as well at times. Use the Mines (if available) to secure
the choke points leading to the terrorists' mountain base while the Chinese
advance through another.
How many Defences have these freaks erected?! There's not going to be a likely
chance that the MiGs are going to make it through. Use the Nuke Cannons to
blast those cursed Defences to shreds!
The worst news has yet to come; the GLA have established a SCUD Storm in the
dead centre of their mountain base (to the north, of course). It's hidden, so
the Chinese will need to move fast in order to "locate" it. There's no way to
bomb it with the Artillery strikes for this reason (nor with Nuclear Missiles).
When the jerks launch their powerful weapon, scatter EVERYONE, and be sure not
to get caught in the blast! The Chinese should spread their Structures wide to
avoid any destruction.
Keep pushing with Armour and Artillery. Those pesky Tunnel Networks can be
leveled with Tanks, while the Artillery can take care of the Stinger Sites
(Infantry can also do the trick).
Once all GLA Structures have been blown to pieces, the Chinese will throw a
parade! This one won't get interrupted by those damn terrorists!
Here's some tips from Taylor Carmichael:
-This mission is an endurance mission. If you rush the base it is based on bad
chances. If you endure it then it is based on concentration, skill, and
efficiency.
-Always keep funds below $5000. If funds are below this at all times the GLA
will not launch their scud storm (this takes much concentration whereas I have
let it slipped twice and got scudded both times, luckily I recoverd quickly).
-Keep buildings spread out in case a scud storm slips by.
-Be money efficient (buy one supply truck, NOT three, let Black Lotus first
drain Supply Centre of all the supplies--then capture it and sell it, think
before you buy something).
-Use availible units for defence until better defence is acquired.
-Use MIGs for Defence one way or another (whether you use Overlord tanks with
the gattling upgrades and speaker tower upgrades or gattling emplacements with
rocket bunkers--I prefer Overlords for they gain veterancy and auto heal)(MIGs
have to be used to take out those pesky Rocket Buggies and those annoying Scud
Launchers, have them ready, flying on guard mode in back of base and use
hotkeys to attack quickly).
-Use hackers for income (base expansion in this level in nearly impossible with
all of the constant GLA forces attacking, it is better to be self-sufficient).
-Use Black Lotus to scout and to wreck havoc whenever possible on the GLA.
-Do co-operative missions with stealthed Black Lotus and MIGs (have MIGs take
out defences while Black Lotus captures GLA buildings and Tech buildings).
-Take out the GLA's base early on in the central-west of the map, have MIGs
take out the defences and then use Black Lotus to capture the buildings when
she can.
-Save often (make sure you save when you know you are off too a good start).
-Make use of General Abilities such as #3 Airstrike, Mines, EMP. Use airstrike
to help with GLA defences and EMP is useful for scouting where Black Lotus
cannot reach. If you keep scouting using EMP bomb (moving target more north
each time) then eventually you will find the scud storm. Take it out with 2
airstrikes and you can now allow yourself to gain more money.
-Stay focused (there are a lot of things in this mission to worry about:
getting too much
money, not getting enough money, constant GLA attacks, scud launchers/rocket
buggies, taking out central GLA base of operations, building up army for
final assault).
-Eventually player will build up army over time to storm the GLA base while
the MIGs/Black Lotus take out defences and central GLA base. Once Central GLA
is taken out then the attacks slow down dramatically. Player's army will be
used for final assault of northern base.
-Note Jarmen Kell is in the building with the green flag on it. Make sure you
destroy it with MIGs before moving in with vehicles.
-You you can effectively utilize these tips then you should easily be able to
beat the mission. Have a little patience and it will come. =D
=========================
3.20 >GLA First Campaign<
=========================
After the Chinese Campaign, the GLA are struggling to recover from the Chinese
Empire. In this Campaign, the USA enters the war as well.
-------------------------
3.21 >GLA 1 "Black Rain"<
-------------------------
Location: Shymkent DMZ.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 5.
Objectives:
-Destroy the Chinese Gate.
-Find the secret Arms Dealer.
-Destroy the Speaker Tower in the village.
-Break the Dam.
Notes: Rebels, Technicals, and Scorpions are introduced. RPG Troopers, Radar
Vans, and Bomb Trucks can also be used. A Rocket Buggy makes a cameo.
Overview: Ever since the defeat at the mountains, the GLA needs to reproduce
from their losses and strike back at their foes. The GLA attack is already
underway...
Opinion: The GLA introduction is easy, and there are many secrets hidden here.
In the General's Window, select:
-Technical Training.
-Emergency Repair.
The GLA starts attacking the Chinese outpost. For now, deal with the Chinese
units. A few Bomb Trucks can be used. Use them on the squad of Red Guards that
come by. They can be spared to be used on the dam, so if the latter choice is
chosen, have a Technical to run over the Guards. Then simply destroy the
Structures.
Once done, the attack group will return to the GLA hideout. New objectives will
be revealed. The first reports an Arms Dealer that can sell Scorpion Rockets,
unavailable to regular ones, located south of the hideout, on a ridge at the
southwest corner of the map. The second objective shows a Chinese Speaker Tower
that needs to be destroyed in order to prevent Chinese propaganda to the
village. The main objective is to destroy the dam, located at the opposite
corner. Get the Arms Dealer, and buy the Scorpion Rockets. Then go north.
There is a Chinese Supply Centre that blocks off LOTS of supplies! Kill any
resistance and the Supply Centre, then gather the goods. Go to the village and
bring the tower down. Once it is, Infantry will come out of the buildings. Go
north and invade the Chinese Base. Capture any Structures and then go up the
ridge. Mow down any enemy units and then destroy the dam once at the top. The
deluge will dispatch a LOT of Chinese Units.
There's a large group of Elite Technicals at the southeastern corner, but the
bridge leading to it is guarded by lots of BattleMasters.
---------------------------------
3.22 >GLA 2 "Grand Theft Phsyco"<
---------------------------------
Location: Almaty, Kazakstan.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 4.
Objectives:
-Collect $40,000.
-Destroy UN Convoys.
-Destroy USA Supply Planes.
-Level the Village Buildings.
-Invade the UN Outpost.
-Destroy the USA Base.
Notes: RPG Troopers, Marauders, and Quad Cannons are introduced.
Overview: Now that the GLA have recovered, they need to get some cash for later
operations. One of the ways is to steal money from the villages in Almaty.
Opinion: This a long mission. At first, it can be a tad bit difficult to cope
with the rushing conditions, but because no USA units dare to attack the GLA
base, this is a no-lose situation.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder.
-Technical Training.
A Worker must build an Arms Dealer. Pump out lots of Tanks and once ready,
attack any UN convoys. There are two sections of the village. Build some
Defences and pump out lots of Tanks. For money, allow the Convoys to drop off
the goodies and then take them before the Villagers do. It is possible to kill
civilians in this mission, but do it with Bullets. More money can be found in
the village houses.
Once $20,00 has been collected, the UN will start using Aircraft to send money.
By now, Quad Cannons can be used to take them down (although RPG Troopers can
attack Aircraft too, Quad Cannons are more effective). Do the same process as
the last event. More Quad Cannons can be produced at the Arms Dealer.
When $30,00 (another $10,000) is obtained, more of the map is revealed. The UN
outpost contains a wealth of supplies, so when ready, attack it for fash cash.
It is guarded, and there are fortified Structures, so invade it only when
ready.
Later, USA forces will come. There's a Supply Dock there, so if needed, attack
the reinforcements. The mission is complete with a total of $40,000.
-------------------------------------
3.23 >GLA 3 "True Crime: Astana City"
-------------------------------------
Location: Astana City, Kazakstan.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 8.
Objectives:
-Collect $40,000.
-Destroy the USA Airbase.
Notes: Terrorists and Angry Mobs are introduced. SCUD Launchers, Toxin
Tractors, and Jarmen Kell can also be used.
Overview: In Astana City, groups of civilians start to rebel. In the city
buildings, there are supplies that the GLA can use. The police failed to stop
the uprising and have called in the Chinese and later, the USA armies.
Opinion: Angry Mobs are the main event in the mission, although Terrorists make
a good show too. Both USA and Chinese armies are battled here, so watch out for
enemy teamwork.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder Tank.
-SCUD Launcher.
-Cash Bounty.
Produce a base and some Workers to gather supplies. Meanwhile, have the trio of
Angry Mob groups target any Structures or police cars. Then loot the cash.
Angry Mobs are good against Structures, so leveling the city will be quick.
Later, train LOTS of Terrorists and get them into cars. Get Jarmen Kellm, some
Toxin Tractors, and SCUD Launchers into the fray.
Later, the USA outpost is located at the northwest corner of the map. When
ready, send in the pair of Toxin Tractors, Jarmen Kell, and some Marauders
there. Have the Toxin Tractors clear out the control building, and the USA
forces will retreat. The Chinese are more courageous than the Americans and
will not retreat at all. Avoid their base, as it is heavily guarded.
As for the city, keep destroying it with any means necessary, and remember to

3.24 >GLA 4 "Down From The Skies"<
----------------------------------
Location: Adana, Turkey.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 6.
Objectives:
-Destroy the USA Air Base.
-Destroy the Chinese Spy Outpost.
Notes: Jarmen Kell and SCUD Launchers are introduced. Rocket Buggies and Toxin
Tractors can also be used.
Overview: American Aircraft has harrassed the GLA in Turkey. Because of this,
the Air Base will need to be taken out in order to keep up with the GLA
operation. A Chinese Spy Outpost has also been located, and should be taken
down in order to prevent reinforcements.
Opinion: This is mainly about Anti-Air protection. Aircraft is the most
frequent attackers, but the USA also sends in various Armour too.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder Tank.
-SCUD Launcher.
-Rebel Ambush.
-Cash Bounty.
Build a base, having an RPG Trooper filled Palace and loads of Stinger Sites at
the ridge to defend. Also, make a Tunnel Network. Mass produce Rebels, Quad
Cannons, Marauders, and SCUD Launchers as the attack force, and then send them
across the bridge. At that side, clear the area of American Infantry and build
a Supply Stash for the dock. At the southwestern corner, there is a Chinese Spy
building that can be acessed from the far dock, and should be cleared out by a
Toxin Tractor for experience. Capture the Tech Structures and then attack the
base.
There's a sneakier way to enter the base. Make a Rebel Ambush at their back
door. They can capture the buildings. Late in the mision, a plane will drop a
Fuel Air Bomb, but that won't be a concern, as the holes remain.
--------------------------
3.25 >GLA 5 "Toxin Trade"<
--------------------------
Location: Aral Sea, Kazakstan.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 7.
Objectives:
-Capture 4 Toxin Bunkers.
-Destroy all American forces.
Notes: Hijackers, Toxin Tractors and Rocket Buggies are introduced. Bomb Trucks
can also be used.
Overview: The Toxin Facility at the Aral Sea has been invaded by the USA, and
the GLA are concerned that their Toxin capabilities are at stake, unless they
take it back. A group of Infantry attempt to take one of the Toxin Bunkers, but
are all killed by Col. Burton's bomb and the Anthrax left behind.
Opinion: This could be hard. The main USA Base is HEAVILY defended, and the
Toxin Bunkers are also guarded. The American attacks are endless, and a lack
of Defences could mean the end!
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder.
-SCUD Launcher.
-Rebel Ambush.
-Cash Bounty.
The GLA start with their crammed base. Expand the place with Defences at the
east road and to the north. Then build more Structures. First, proceed north
and take out the defenders. Take the two Bunkers at the north, then clear the
American Bunkers with Toxin Tractors. Have the SCUD Launchers breach the
Defences, then destroy the USA base. Capture any Toxin Tractors in sight, then
finish them off.
It's a straightforward, yet difficult process. Attrition is what's needed to
complete this.
------------------------------
3.26 >GLA 6 "Rebel Rebellion"<
------------------------------
Location: Lenger, Kazakstan.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 9.
Objectives:
-Destroy the defector's base.
-Fend off the Chinese reinforcements.
Notes: Bomb Trucks and the Anthrax Bomb are introduced. Nuke Trucks can also be
used.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
Overview: Some of the GLA have betrayed the cause, and are being bribed by the
Chinese Army. The GLA have assaulted a Chinese convoy and have taken three
powerful, but rare Nuke Trucks. The GLA must eliminate the traitors to continue
their mission.
Opinion: General Juhziz would abosolutely enjoy this mission! Lots of Car Bombs
are available, as well as a rare view of Nuke Trucks. There are lots of units
to begin with, but the enemy's base is defended, and they are able to build a
SCUD Storm.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder.
-SCUD Launcher.
-Rebel Ambush.
-Cash Bounty.
Start by making the Terrorists enter their cars and the rest of the units to
the front. Build an Arms Dealer and a Palace to get started. Make some SCUD
Launchers to deal with the Defences, and then send in the Nuke Trucks when
ready. Note that if the Nuke Trucks are spotted with the regular GLA units, the
bad guys will discover that the Nuke Trucks are now enemies. If they aren't,
they can sneak into the enemy base and then detonate. Do this before the main
attack force goes in. After that, it's only a matter of attrition.
As for the Chinese invaders, make some Stinger Sites and a few Tanks to defend
the path, as well as lots of Demo Traps at the southwestern corner. The Chinese
attacks get stronger overtime, so complete the mission fast!
Other secrets are located far away from the two bases. To the west, there is
some supplies. To the east, there are more supplies and an abandoned GLA camp.
If the enemy builds a SCUD Storm, target that first with the Nuke Trucks.
Here's a tip from Natanz Loetawann:
"Completely upgrade ambush. Ambush the enemy base. At first there are some weak
vehicles in your way, but it doesn't take long before they're destroyed. Then
destroy the barracks, then the arms dealer. Meanwhile, move the bomb vehicles
to the base. Keep destroying things in the base with the ambush rebels, when
the trucks arrive detonate & done.
Takes less than 5 minutes."
Here's a similar tip from "N00bKefka":
"The nuke trucks won't be attacked by the enemy until you detonate one of them.
That means, you can send all 3 of them into the rebel base without causing any
commotion. I would plant 2 truck right in front of the Command Centre, as close
as possible and save the last one for the holes. Once you destoy all buildings,
mission acomplished! That could possibly be the fastest mission in Generals
even playing the hardest difficulty."
-------------------------------
3.27 >GLA 7 "Dark Destruction"<
-------------------------------
Location: Baikonur, Southern Kazakstan.
Difficulty: Insane!
Fun Factor: 7.
Objectives:
-Capture the Ground Control Building.
-Capture the Missile Gantry.
-Destroy both bases.
Notes: The SCUD Storm is introduced.
Overview: Now that the GLA is united, they are going to Baikonur to capture a
missile platform to use against their enemies. The USA and Chinese armies have
well-defended the objectives. This is their final moment...
Opinion: The two enemy armies get their superweapons very quickly. The Missile
Gantry isn't as well-defended as it looked in the cutscene, but is still fairly
hard to get to curtesy of the two bases.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder Tank.
-SCUD Launcher.
-Rebel Ambush.
-Cash Bounty.
The GLA start with only a Supply Stash and a Command Centre. Immediately
expand the base, and attend more Workers to gather supplies. Train some Rebels
to capture any Tech Structure in the area. Make a pair of Tunnel Networks
across the tracks to avoid incoming trains. There should also be more Tech
Buildings and another supply area across the track. Secure the supplies and
make some Defences. The USA will come from the right, the Chinese from the
left. Secure these roads. The bad guys will start out with their Super Weapon.
While the Nuclear Missile is only a roadblock, the Particle Cannon is capable
of COMPLETELY wiping out a GLA Structure! Also, when the Nuke Missile is
launched, spread out the units!
The USA's other biggest threat is the Air Field. Use Artillery to breach their
Defences and then assault the base. The Ground Control Building is at that
location. The Chinese Base is also defended by various arms, so capture the USA
Airfield and send in the Aurora Bombers!
As for the objectives, capture the Ground Control Building once the USA base is
wiped out. From there, get to the Gantry and capture that. Finally, destroy the
Chinese Base with any means necessary. Also, make use of some SCUD Storms.
=========================
3.30 >USA First Campaign<
=========================
Ever since the first Baikonour attack, the USA are further entrenched into the
battle. The Chinese army has retreated to defend its own land, and the
Americans are aware of the dangers. The USA has started to attack in a major
GLA city, where a terrible threat has been located.
----------------------------
3.31 >USA 1 "Final Justice"<
----------------------------
Location: Baghdad, Iraq.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 6.
Objectives:
-Secure the City.
-Destroy the SCUD Storm.
Notes: Rangers, Humvees, and Crusaders are introduced. Missile Defenders,
Pilots, and Paladins can also be used. Raptors and the Fuel Air Bomb Plane make
a cameo.
Overview: The USA has not given up dispite their losses in the first GLA
campaign. It is currently Day 3 in this operation, so the USA are scouting the
area. One of the scouts have been shot down, and a large USA Armour division
has been searching. Crusaders and Scorpions have lined up, and then began a
football-esque battle. As always, the USA had prevailed.
Opinion: The USA introduction is more in-depth to their strengths, and more
events take place.
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Emergency Repair.
After the cool cutscene, have all of the troops go towards the city, clearing
any enemy Armour on the way. Once the army approaches the base, a SCUD Storm
targets a section of the city, killing many civilians. It's up to the USA to
stop this threat. The Anthrax is blocking the way into the centre, so to give
it some time, go north and free the hostages. Get those pilots into Armour!
After that, the Anthrax is now gone. Proceed into the town square (surrounded
by a moat for some reason) and then attack any enemies. Use the Chinooks
provided to clear the garrisoned buildings. Get every soldier up the mountain.
Because so many Scorpions and Defences guard the base, a Fuel Air Bomb will
strike at them. Use this chance to invade the base. Destroy any resistance and
get to the end of the base, then capture the weapon!
As for the city, there are Oil Derricks at the south end.
Here's a tip from Viro:
"Instead of bothering with the Crusader Tanks, you can simply build some
Chinooks, load up some soldiers into them and fly them over to the Scud Storm.
I created 16 Rangers and 16 Missile Defenders and sent them. It takes four
Chinooks and the way isn't guarded at all. You can complete the mission within
five minutes with this tactic."
----------------------------
3.32 >USA 2 "Treasure Hunt"<
----------------------------
Location: Al Hanad, Yemen.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 7.
Objectives:
-Locate the three Pilots.
-Bring the Pilots to the base.
Notes: Missile Defenders, Pilots, Col. Burton, and Paladins are introduced.
Pathfinders can also be used. Comanches make a cameo.
Overview: In Al Hanad, there are GLA leaders hidden in the vicinity. Comanches
are currently searching for these criminals. However, three Pilots have been
held hostage by the GLA, and the USA needs to rescue them.
Opinion: For absolute newbies, this can be hard. Still, there are even harder
missions ahead of this one. Only the third Pilot needs to survive and return.
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Pathfinder.
-Emergency Repair.
Start by buying the Capture Building Upgrade and get some Rangers to capture
the Oil Derricks to the north, then secure them with Patriots. Produce three
Paladins and other Armour. GLA attacks will come from everywhere, even off the
map! Build a pair of Patriots to defend the west road, and get a few Rangers
and then replace them with Pathfinders when available. Guard the south side
too, as some attackers will come from there. Buy the Flash Bang Upgrade.
As for the attack, smash the Technicals and Capture the Hospital. Use Anti-
Infantry units to massacre the Mobs and the Stinger Site, and use a Ranger to
clear out those buildings. To be safe, hose out the map.
Once the first Pilot is rescued, the City will expand north. Have a Pathfinder
kill any Mobs, and use other units to destroy the rest. There are still lots of
units to kill, but the Mobs will be no match for snipers. Destroy the Stinger
Site and rescue the Second Pilot.
The third and final Pilot is located in the GLA camp to the east. Assault the
base, Capture the Arms Dealer, and get those three Pilots to the base! Once the
three Pilots are rescued, there will be GLA attacks from random locations, so
be prepared!
Put the Pilots into Paladins. There are a pair of Comanches that can help out.
-----------------------------
3.33 >USA 3 "Guardian Angel"<
-----------------------------
Location: Northern Kazakstan.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 10.
Objectives:
-Let 100 USA forces escape.
-Fend off any GLA pursuers.
-Fend off the final GLA assault.
Notes: Comanches, Stealth Fighters, and Pathfinders are introduced. POW Trucks
make a cameo.
Overview: A USA base has been ambushed, and the survivors of the attack are in
full retreat. Lots of GLA soldiers are following them. They need cover in order
to escape. Air Forces will be able to do the job...
Opinion: This is a fun, yet easy mission. Most of the protection is made of
Comanches, so make use of them.
In the General's Window, select:
-Emergency Repair.
-Stealth Fighter.
-Pathfinder.
At the start, buy the Rocket Pods Upgrade, another Chinook, and send in the
Comanches and ground forces. The first wave of cover will start immediately, so
be prepared. Once done, use a Chinook to send a pair of Rangers (Upgraded with
the Capture Building Upgrade) and have them Capture the two Oil Derricks.
Armour cannot be produced, so treat the Humvees and Crusaders provided with
extra care. Get some Patriot Missiles, Stealth Fighters, LOADS of Infantry, a
pair of Pathfinders, and more Comanches to defend the convoys, and this will be
a piece of cake.
One more thing: When 100 or more USA units escape, another GLA attack wave will
come, targeting the Air Base! Make use of the Rocket Pods too.
---------------------------
3.34 >USA 4 "Stormbringer"<
---------------------------
Location: Kazakstan Coast.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 5.
Objectives:
-Secure the beach.
-Destroy the camp Stinger Sites.
-Destroy the main GLA Base.
Notes: Tomahawks and Ambulances are introduced. Battleships and Amphibious
Transports make a cameo.
Overview: Despite the losses at the last mission, the USA is still active. The
Americans have already started an attack on a beach leading to a GLA training
site.
Opinion: Although the scene is like Omaha Beach, the beach part is not at all
similar. USA Artillery is introduced, but the GLA attacks are frequent and
sneaky.
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Pathfinder.
-Air Strike.
-Para Drop.
The battle on the beach should end quickly. Once done, use the Tomahawks
provided to destroy the Bunkers to the west. Then use them to clear the Stinger
Sites. Cover the Tomahawks, because some GLA units could attack them!
The Carpet Bombers will clear the majority (almost ALL) of the camp. Use the
Dozers to establish a base. GLA forces will attack from the west and north
roads, so secure those with Patriots and Pathfinders. Clear any surviving GlA
Structure with Rangers.
Use the Tomahawks to destroy the mountain GLA Base Defences, then send in any
forces to clear them out! Another outpost is located south of the main base,
across a bridge. For experience, use Rangers or Tomahawks to destroy the rest
of the Bunkers.
Note that the Tomahawks at the beginning of the mission are the only ones
available! They cannot be replaced.
-------------------------
3.35 >USA 5 "Blue Eagle"<
-------------------------
Location: Kabara, Kazakstan.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 6.
Objectives:
-Neutralize the GLA outpost across the river.
-Destroy the GLA main Base on the mountains.
Notes: Raptors are introduced.
Overview: A peace conference is scheduled in this city, but the USA does not at
all trust the GLA, and are on alert. Predictably, the peace representative is
ambushed and killed by four GLA vehicles, and when the get caught, they refused
to surrender. The only way to stop the GLA is to wipe them out completely.
Opinion: The second objective is quite hard, due to a SCUD Storm. The third Dam
is featured in this level, although the USA does not have the chance to destroy
it.
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Pathfinder.
-Air Strike.
-Para Drop.
Expand the Base, and Upgrade everything. Capture the Hospital in the City, and
then use the Comanches to destroy the Tunnel Networks. Once all guards are
gone, Capture the outpost (all but ONE Structure!) and establish a base there.
Once the base (the mix of GLA and USA Structures) is made, Capture the final
GLA Structure (remember to build a full base first with good Defences!). Also,
make an Air Field or two and fill them with Raptors.
The Dam breaks, and the main USA Base is cut off, but that doesn't matter as I
have prepared the good guys for that event. If the GLA builds a SCUD Storm, use
the Air Strike and the Raptors to destroy it. For Defence, build Patriots and
Tunnel Networks. When ready, attack the base using ground forces. There are a
few Demo Traps, so use Scout Drones to detect them. A few Tech Structures are
located in this area, along the ones in the northeast.
Lots of GLA units will attack, so use Jarmen Kell or Pathfinders to slaughter
the Mobs, and a few Tanks and Patriots to fend off the Armour. Build lots of
Black Markets to maintain economic status.
Here's an alternate strategy by "Proto":
"When the first GLA base is destroyed, send all units to it and sell your
buildings as usual (you'll need the money). Capture the GLA Command Centre and-
if possible - other buildings. Create a GLA base after the ingame sequence.
Additionally, build a US Supply Centre so the Chinooks also can gather money.
The point: Your own GLA worker can also build SCUD storms. When the enemy GLA
builds a SCUD storm, it must be destroyed as usual and later a few rangers
(special ability of the general) can attack the headquarters (Command Centre?)
so they can make no more Workers. An own SCUD storm shortly before using the
ranger special ability is useful for this to clean the area around it of
enemies. The SCUD should leave space for the rangers so they can shoot at the
Command Centre from the northwest. However, one must be prepared for an extra
heavy attack once the enemy Command Centre is destroyed. Having many forces
left from the first part helps, especially if there are many rangers (those
10 every four minutes can sum up). Additionally, some tanks of either nation
will be necessary. For this strategy, both Para Drop abilities should be
selected. Air Strike also is a good choice. Pathfinders are useless then since
GLA Quad Cannons (or Toxin Trucks) are very effective against infantry. At that
time I still had lots of rangers at my base so they also dealed with the
attacks (40 rangers firing at once can hold some attacks, especially when
supported by one or two tanks). I also used Stealth Fighter, but Paladin may be
a better ability since Stealth Fighters disappear when the Airfield is sold at
the end of the first part and later they're not needed anymore."
------------------------------
3.36 >USA 6 "Desperate Union"<
------------------------------
Location: Southeastern Kazakhstan.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 8.
Objectives:
-Destroy the GLA Base to the northeast.
-Neutralize the Chinese Nuclear Missile and Command Centre.
Notes: The Particle Cannon and Fuel Air Bomb are introduced.
Overview: A rouge Chinese General and his army has joined the GLA in the
mountains. The GLA have been prepared and control almost all of this territory.
An attack must be launched immediately. A group of Rangers and Crusaders are
under attack, but are rescued by a far away Particle Cannon.
Opinion: This one is fun, though long and hard. The GLA are secured in the
mountains, and the rouge is located to the south. Lots of crazy Super Powers
are used here, from the Particle Cannon and the Fuel Air Bomb, to the Col. and
the Tomahawk Missile.
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Pathfinder.
-Air Strike.
-Para Drop.
All there is to start with are the survivors of the cutscene, a Dozer, and Col.
Burton. Build the Base, with the Strategy Centre across the ridge with
Patriots, and divide the combat units to defend the sides, Col. Burton to the
lower area. Build some Supply Drop Zones, and train a Pathfinder for each side.
It's all about Defence. Secure the lower Supply Zone, next to where the
cutscene occured, and secure it with some Patriots and a Pathfinder. Expand the
defending units by using Para Drops and making a pair of Tomahawks.
Use the spy satellite to reveal the Chinese Nuclear Missile, and use the Air
Bomb, the Air Strikes, and a full group of Raptors to annihilate it (the Raptor
attack last). Gather a full attack force and when ready, advance across the
bridge! Use Aircraft or Tomahawks to destroy the tower "ring", resulting in
Jarmen Kell's death. Use Tomahawks to deal with the rest of the Defences, and
make more Tanks! Advance into the Chinese territory, destroying any Defences
and Capturing any other Structures, then destroy the south Defences. Capture
the whole Chinese Base, then make Chinese Units to attack! Advance South,
ignoring any Demo Traps, and mow over the GLA Base.
The biggest threat is the Chinese Air Field. Aircraft can seriously harrass
the USA Base. For the "T" intersection, use Tomahawks to destroy the Defences
there. Once the Chinese Base is engaged, all Chinese Units will come and
attack. If available, use Particle Cannons to destroy additional Defences.
------------------------
3.37 >USA 7 "Last Call"<
------------------------
Location: Akmola, Kazakhstan.
Difficulty: Insane!
Fun Factor: 10.
Objectives:
-Capture the Chinese Base.
-Destroy any GLA Structures.
Notes: Aurora Bombers are introduced.
Overview: This is it. The moment of truth. The USA have cornered the GLA at
an abandoned Castle compound, and they are desprate to live, fighting for every
Inch, let alone every Centimetre. The Chinese have authorized the USA to use
their resources in order to stop the terrorists once and for all (or for at
least THIS game).
Opinion: The final mission of the original game uses dramatic music, and both
"Righteous" armies can be used in this mission.
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Pathfinder.
-Air Strike.
-Para Drop.
-Fuel Air Bomb.
The USA have located the castle, to the west. Split the army into two groups,
each defending one side of the area. Have some Rangers Capture the three
Chinese Structure and start improving the two Bases!
The USA Base needs the Air Field and the Strategy Centre. Bring Col. Burton and
fill the Field with Aurora Bombers. Otherwise, make more Units!
The Chinese Base starts out damaged, so fix the Buildings! Then expand the base
and secure it. Use both Patriot Missiles and Gattling Cannons to defend the
neighbouring compounds.
A Tunnel Network might be constructed at the east. Don't let them allow
ambushes! The SCUD Storm will be made, so use everything to destroy it. To
clear the Castle Defences and the Stinger Sites, use Dragon Tanks or
Flashbangs, plus Artillery.
To deal with the rest of the Base, use Superweapons. If a ground force is used,
it should be made of Overlords and other powerful things. Artillery, as usual,
should take out the Defences, and use everything available to wipe the fiends
out!
Here's a tip from Secsron:
"If you go to a third tier Paradrop attack in your General Powers you should
have no problem with the Scud Storm once it is announced, just drop the troops
in that back corner with building capture enabled and capture the Scud Storm
(just before or just after it finishes count down, like the earlier missions I
believe that it won't set off unless your funds are over $5000). Then you get
to set off an essentially free superweapon on their own base thanks to their
time and money.
As you can see, the scud storm becomes a non-issue for the player."
==================================
4.00 >Second Campaign Walkthrough<
==================================
In Zero Hour, the Second Campaign is revealed. More Units can be used here, and
lots of crazy stuff happens! The GLA start to threaten Europe, and both the
American and Chinese armies take action.
==========================
4.10 >USA Second Campaign<
==========================
The USA may have destroyed the GLA at Akmola, but back at Baikonur, the GLA use
their massive Anthrax Missile (Captured in the last mission of the first GLA
Campaign) on a vacant base in Europe...
-----------------------------
4.11 >USA 1 "Global Secuity"<
-----------------------------
Location: Baikonur, Southern Kazakhstan.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 5.
Objectives:
-Secure the Train Station.
-Destroy all GLA Structures near the Missile Gantry.
Notes: Sentry Drones are introduced. Battleships and POW Trucks make a cameo.
Overview: In the winter, the Baikonur threat has been a serious problem. The
GLA have launched a missile at a USA Base, and the Chinese have failed to
retake the weapon. Now, the USA have been asked to do what the Chinese could
not; secure the Baikonur Missile. Time is running out, because the GLA are
going to launch another missile!
Opinion: Remember what happened at the GLA climax? The USA forgot about it! Now
they need to clean up the embarassment and secure the Baikonur launch site
(about time)!
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Emergency Repair.
The Sentry Drones start with guns, and kill the Rebels that attack. Capture the
Tech Structures nearby (when needed), and get the attack force over. Kill the
RPG Troopers on the bridge, then advance and destroy any Stinger Sites. Get
some Infantry into the abandoned Chinese camp, and Capture the Armour there.
Upgrade the Overlord with a Speaker Tower, and then use Flash Bangs or the
Dragon Tank to clear the Garrisoned Structures. Advance into the Train Depot
and crush any GLA Units, then Capture the Black Market and destroy the Palace.
Once the place is secure, have the Overlord, then the Paladins, then the Dragon
Tank, then the BattleMasters, then the Crusaders, then any Humvees filled with
Infantry into the cars of the Train (only two!).
The train arrives at the Gantry loading dock (running over a Rebel). Empty
those Humvees immediately! Get a soldier into the Radio Station and destroy the
Structures. Once all the Structures and Defences are gone, a MOAB will massacre
the guards and engineers.
It is possible to kill all the GLA units on the lower area. Have Rangers fire
Flash Bangs at the engineers and use Missile Defenders kill the Tanks. Also,
there's a plane north of the abandoned Chinese camp that has loads of supplies.
----------------------------------
4.12 >USA 2 "Defending The Docks"<
----------------------------------
Location: Coast of Somalia.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 9.
Objectives:
-Defend the Docks.
-Protect the 10 Supply Trucks.
-Secure the Warehouse.
-Destroy the GLA Base.
Notes: Battleships and the Aircraft Carrier can be used. Amphibious Transports
and Patrol Boats make a cameo.
Overview: Now that the Baikonur launch facility is now done for, there is a
town that needs to be secured in order to assault a major GLA cell. The attack
is made on the docks. Supply Trucks have been transported to this location to
help the town and bring it on the USA's side. Most of the Naval Fleet survived
the Baikonur attack, so they are ready to bomb the crap out of the GlA.
Opinion: This is the only chance that Naval Units can ever be used. They are
more like Structures. Because of their strength, this mission can be completed
with only Naval Units!
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Spy Drone.
At the Landing Zone, Capture the Tech Structures to the west, then gather the
supplies at the east. Get a Ranger with a Pathfinder to the north and Capture
the Reinforcement Pad once found. By now, all Battleship Barrages are ready, so
bomb the GLA Units guarding the Warehouse (revealed on the Radar). Have the
Aircraft Carrier Raptors finish off the rest. Get the Pathfinder and the Ranger
even more north, until they find a GLA Barracks. Capture it and train some
Rebels. Get the Rebels east and Capture the Tech Structures there.
Reinforcements will come as Trucks come. They usually come via Chinook. Here's
a secret: The Chinooks can be controlled. Have them gather supplies. Once the
last Truck comes, go to the warehouse and Capture any Tech Structures. When the
Trucks are inside, a Dozer will come. Build a Base.
The GLA Base is located to the northeast corner, in the mountains. Use Col.
Burton and the Naval forces to wipe it out with little effort. There are also
some Defences spread across the general area.
------------------------
4.13 >USA 3 "Snow Fall"<
------------------------
Location: Mount Elbrus, Russia.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 7.
Objectives:
-Secure the POW camps.
-Secure the Church.
-Get Col. Burton to the north mountains.
Notes: Microwave Tanks are introduced.
Overview: Now that the USA have established some territory in the battlefield,
they can concentrate on securing it. There's a secret lab in the Russian
Mountains, related to a deadly Anthrax database. China's Black Lotus has been
assigned to steal this information and Col. Burton must destroy the Lab to
prevent pursuit.
Opinion: This mission is more like an infiltration style mini-game rather than
an RTS mission. Stealth can be needed here at first, then once vehicles are
obtained, plain power is all that is needed to finish this mission.
In the General's Window, select:
-Emergency Repair.
Move the squad of Col. Burton, Pathfinders, and Sentry Drones across. Destroy
the Scorpion Tank with Col. Burton, as he is a superior threat to even Armour!
Use the Pathfinders to eliminate the squads of Infantry and move north. The
village to the east has a Radar Van, which will detect the crack team and alert
the whole GLA Base!
Move north. Black Lotus will Capture a GLA Base on the opposite side of the
river. On Easy mode, this attack will cause the Tunnel Network protecting the
front of the POW camp. On the harder modes though, it will remain intact.
Attack it with the Sentry Drones first, then with Burton. Use the Pathfinders
to kill any Infantry that get in the way, and to pacify the Stinger Site. Use
Burton to blow up the Barracks and the Stinger Site. Once done, Rangers,
Missile Defenders, and a Pathfinder will be rescued. Go up the mountain ridge
and go down back to the village. If the GLA patrol gets in the way, quickly use
the Missile Defenders to smash any Armour (most importantly, the Battle Bus)
and use the Pathfinders to massacre the Infantry. Use the Rangers to clear the
garrisoned village Structures (they start with Flash Bangs). Once done, advance
over to the Church to rescue more Infantry.
They will report that some USA Armour has been Captured by the GLA, and that
the USA can use them. Move north. The most important Armour that needs to be
used is the Microwave Tank, which can disable Structures (the Tunnel
Networks). Use it to destroy the Bridge Defences. The squad should now move
west and clear out the POW camp. Retake the vehicles and use the Microwave
Tanks to destroy the Tunnel Networks and the Pathfinders to kill the guards in
the Stinger Sites. Use any other unit to finish them off, and any enemy units.
Once done, Col. Burton must now move to the north mountain, completing the
mission. He will plant some charges on the mountain. Black Lotus captures the
information and the Colonel will detonate the bombs, causing an avalanche that
wipes out the lab.
-------------------------
4.14 >USA 4 "Black Gold"<
-------------------------
Location: Amisbad Oil Fields, Iran.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 9.
Objectives:
-Destroy the GLA Terrorist Radio Station.
-Secure any Oil Derricks.
-Destroy the northwest GLA Base.
Notes: Avengers and the Leaflet Drop are introduced. Agents can also be used.
Overview: The information taken from the last mission revealed some shocking
news about a shut-down Air Field, which was formerly approved in the hands of
a leader, code-named "Dr. Thrax". Because he has joined the GLA, officials are
concerned about the resources he collects at this location. The USA must
capture this location in order to prevent the Toxin General from making a
massive attack.
Opinion: Oil Derricks are the main source of money here. The main thing to
focus on in this mission is Defence. Lots of incoming attacks and suicide
bombers are frequent, and the Green GLA Base might build a SCUD Storm, spelling
bad news.
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Pathfinder.
-Air Strike.
-Para Drop.
Start building a Base. Detectors like Pathfinders can Detect Booby Traps, which
are planted on some Tech Structures. Then use Dozers to clear them out. Capture
all of the Oil Derricks, and move the Pathfinders into towers next to the
bridges. Also build a pair of Patriots for each bridge, most importantly, the
northernmost one.
Yellow GLA suicide bombers will come from the north. To stop the attacks, the
radio tower to the northern village must be destroyed. Send in an attack force
of Rangers, Crusaders, Humvees, Pathfinders, and Tomahawks. Use the Rangers to
clear the garrisons while the Tomahawks fire their missiles at the Tower. Use
the Pathfinders to slaughter the Infantry and use the other Armour to destroy
Car Bombs and Bomb Trucks.
When ready, advance to the west. Capture any Tech Structures (checking for
Booby Traps for each one) and establish a Base there. Jarmen Kell is guarding
the Derricks, he is located near the tower. Use an Air Strike on him. Capture
the Artillery Platforms for extra Defence, and make Patriots and Pathfinders.
There are 3 agents that are positioned in the map.
1. On the other side of the north bridge, south of the north village.
2. East of the north village.
3. On the southwest corner, accessed from the Oil Derrick area.
They are much like Col. Burton, except not stealthed and without knives. They
can be very useful, as they are powerful.
The western path to the GLA Base is FULL of Demo Traps! Clear that area and
ambush the GLA with a full battle force! If the GLA ever makes a SCUD Storm,
rush to the Base or use Air Strikes. The mission is complete once all Non-
Defensive Structure is leveled.
-----------------------------
4.15 >USA 5 "Area Fifty-Two"<
-----------------------------
Location: Northeastern Egypt.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 8.
Objectives:
-Capture the 4 Missile Gantries before they launch.
-Defeat Dr. Thrax.
Notes: The Spectre Gunship is introduced. GLA armies are available early.
Overview: Dr. Thrax has threatened the USA by beginning to establish Toxin
Missiles with Anthrax Gamma onto major locations. The maniac must be stopped
to save the world. The money gathered at the last mission has added to the
cash here.
Opinion: This is the first mission where a Specialist General needs to be faced
against. Aircraft can finally be used here, although it is recommended to use
ground forces.
In the General's Window, select:
-Paladin.
-Pathfinder.
-Air Strike.
-Para Drop.
-Fuel Air Bomb.
The game starts out with only 3 Humvees, 2 Dozers, and a Command Centre.
Construct a Base with some Defences. Have one of the Humvees go up the hill to
the east. The GLA in this area are willing to fight against Dr. Thrax, allowing
control of their force. Get a Worker and build a Tunnel Network between the 3
production Structures and get some more Defences. The GLA Command Centre can
use the Rebel Ambush and Anthrax Bomb Abilities, and SCUD Launchers, Marauders,
Hijackers, and better Technicals can also be produced. Start expanding the USA
Base, and make a Rebel Ambush at the north.
The 4 Toxin Gantries are divided at 2 seperate Bases. Make a Rebel Ambush at
the eastern one, destroying the Quad Cannon and Capturing the Gantries there.
Now focus on assaulting Dr. Thrax's main base. Get the GLA army and send them
in to attack the vacant GLA base northwest of the blue GLA Base. An Anthrax
Bomb can clear out the Demo Traps.
For the USA forces, build a large army and use Tomahawks to attack any
Defences. Not much details are needed here, except that the other 2 Gantries
are located deep in the main Anthrax Base. Simply mow across it, and destroy
the SCUD Storm if needed.
Make any Super Weapons if comfortable, and keep attacking until Dr. Thrax is
defeated. Also, try to invest in the Chemical Suits Upgrade.
==========================
4.20 >GLA Second Campaign<
==========================
The GLA in the last mission were not the true ones. The REAL GLA forces were
not very happy with Dr. Thrax's defeat. Fortunately for them, they have found a
new leader, code-named, "Deathstrike"...
-------------------------------
4.21 >GLA 1 "The Great Escape"<
-------------------------------
Location: Near Cario, Egypt.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 7.
Objectives:
-Escort Mohamar to the Airstrip.
-Destroy the USA Base.
Notes: Combat Cycles are introduced.
Overview: After Dr. Thrax was defeated, the new leader escaped a chase and now
needs to get onto a plane so he can return to the GLA Headquarters.
Opinion: I think Mohamar's Limo is cool and stylish. Anyways, this is a cool
mission, but the map seems a little empty.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder Tank.
-Technical Training.
Use the parts to upgrade the Quad Cannons. Then send in everyone to rip apart
the USA resistance. Move across the bridge, and more bikes will appear! Send
them northeast and dispatch any USA units, and Capture the Buildings there.
At the GLA Base, repair the Structures, research the Scorpion Rocket, and build
some Tanks, making use of the scrap pieces there. When ready, send the attack
force across the bridge, Capturing the Reinforcement Pad and removing any
Sentry Drones. Assault the USA Base and destroy any Structures. Send the
Leader's Limo to the plane to the left and he'll escape.
----------------------------
4.22 >GLA 2 "Hidden Agenda"<
----------------------------
Location: Cairo Outskirts, Egypt.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 3.
Objectives:
-Capture the Command Centre in the north village.
-Capture the Command Centre in the plains across the bridge.
-Neutralize the Command Centre on the hills.
Notes: Saboteurs, the GPS Scrambler, and Sneak Attack are introduced.
Overview: Prince Kassad (and the GLA army from the last USA mission) have
defected from the GLA and have decided to go on a seperate path on victory. The
GLA will not allow them to suceed from their cause, and must defeat Kassad in
this area.
Opinion: This is a long, and therefore, not so fun mission. The only units that
fight in this mission are GLA units.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder.
-SCUD Launcher.
-Rebel Ambush.
-Cash Bounty.
Despite Kassad's attack on a small USA installation, no Units on the American
side will be encountered here. Expand the Base quickly, and make a small
scouting force. Make use of the Radar Vans' Scans, as they can reveal spots on
the map. Send the attack force and a Radar Van to the east, clearing any foes
on the way. Also, Capture any Tech Structures in sight (when secure). To the
west, there is a supply dock. Establish a Supply Stash and some Defences there.
Search the area for more enemies. To the north of the main Base is a Tunnel
Network, that should be taken out with SCUD Launchers. The lower area next to
the river is full of Demo Traps, which should be removed.
The first Command Centre is located in the north, inside a village. Two
Pathfinders are guarding it. Use a Radar Van and a Quad Cannon to kill them.
Once they are down, they won't be replaced. Assault the Base, Capturing any
Structures, including the Command Centre. Near that is a small abandoned Base,
which has a Black Market that cannot be created by normal means.
When the Command Centre is Captured, the GPS Scrambler can be used to get past
Kassad's Bunkers (although they can be simply cleared by Toxin Tractors). The
next Base is defended by some Demo Traps and a few other turrets. Capture the
Base and establish another one there. The Sneak Attack must be used in order to
get to the final Command Centre. Use SCUD Launchers to remove the Defences and
then WHEN READY, use the Sneak Attack and then send Units to assault the
Command Centre. This is a long process, so good luck!
--------------------------------
4.23 >GLA 3 "On The Waterfront"<
--------------------------------
Location: Malta, Crete.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 5.
Objectives:
-Capture the Particle Cannon.
-Liberate the GLA camp.
-Capture the Cold Fusion Reactor facility.
-Liberate the GLA Arms Dealer.
-Liberate the GLA main Base.
-Use the Particle Cannon to destroy the USA Aircraft Carrier.
Notes: The Sneak Attack is further introduced. Battle Buses are also available.
Overview: Now that Prince Kassad has been apprehended, the GLA can focus on
attacking the USA. A major Aircraft Carrier has been harrassing the GLA, and
needs to be dealt with, by the USA's own Particle Cannon!
Opinion: The map layout is much like a maze to the GLA. The Sneak Attack Tunnel
will be vital, and some Defensive maneuvers may be needed.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder.
-Technical Training.
Use the Hijackers provided to take any Armour and use any other units to make
toast out of the Rangers. Follow the "path" and then Capture the Particle
Cannon. A Tunnel Network is at the nearby island, so send in the units. Instead
of killing the Pilot that attempts to reach his Tomahawk, wait for him to enter
and then use a Hijacker to Capture it. Go west and liberate a GLA Camp, where
Jarmen Kell waits. Take all of the abandoned GLA Armour and make use of the
supplies. Use Jarmen Kell to snipe the Crusaders and the Infantry inside the
Fire Bases, then use the Tomahawk to bombard them (or use Jarmen Kell to shoot
at the Fire Bases, they'll be destroyed by his shots somehow). Take the Armour,
Capture the Cold Fusion Reactors that were guarded, and leave the Quad Cannons
behind to defend them. Send a unit to the north tip of the island next to the
camp and use the Sneak Attack to get across. Take any Armour that gets in the
way, and retake the Arms Dealer.
Defend the Particle Cannon with some Units. Any will do, but try to defend it
well, because the USA will send in Chinooks filled with combat units. The north
valley is currently unsafe, as it is heavily guarded. Use the Particle Cannon
or the Tomahawk, or SCUD Launchers to get rid of them! Liberate the main GLA
Base and start cranking out Workers! To the west, there is an island with two
Marauders and some supplies.
The USA Base can be attacked from the east. Use the Sneak Attack to acess
either of the islands, and try to attack the USA Base as soon as possible.
Destroy the Reactors to neutralize the Patriot turrets. Go south, ignoring the
idle Battleships, and try to take out the main Base. South of that is the
Aircraft Carrier. Use the Particle Cannon to split it in two.
------------------------------------------------
4.24 >GLA 4 "Jarmen Kell And The Forty Theives"<
------------------------------------------------
Location: Southern Greece.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 7.
Objectives:
-Use Jarmen's Team to use the Ferry to the beach.
-Use the Combat Team to take a Radar Van.
-Use the Combat Team to use the Valve Station.
-Destroy the Airfield.
-Destroy the Cold Fusion Reactors.
-Secure the Toxin Facility.
-Transport the Toxins.
Notes: Battle Busses are introduced.
Overview: Now that the USA Navy has been weakened, the GLA can move across the
seas in order to retake another Toxin Facility. Most of the Toxins can be used
to make weapons, reenergizing the GLA entirely.
Opinion: Like the third USA mission, this is much like an infiltration rather
than an RTS. However, there are two teams needed, and many tasks to be done.
In the General's Window, select:
-GAH! I'm blind! Oh wait, there's nothing here.
Use Jarmen Kell to snipe the three vehicles, then use Hijackers to take them.
Fill the Humvees with the Infantry and send in every unit in that squad. Use
the Ferry to take them to the beach. The beach is filled with landmines, so the
other team will need to take a Radar Van. Take the three Technicals, and use
the Hijackers to stand in the Humvees' patrol paths, then take them. Get to the
village buildings and gain some more Infantry. Get the Terrorists into cars and
get the Radar Van, taking care of any enemies on the way.
Now that the Radar Van is obtained, use it to scan the beach to locate any Demo
Traps, then destroy them. Use Jarmen Kell's team to advance across the
dangerous beach. Then have him snipe the Paladin and the Infantry guarding the
road. Advance down the road and take any Armour, and use a Humvee to break the
fence that are holding some Infantry captive. Get the Terrorists into cars and
take the Tomahawks and the Ambulance with Hijackers, and Capture the Artillery
Platform. Use the Tomahawks to target the Patriot Missile to the right while
the Platform bombs the one on the left. Once the Defences are clear, have a
soldier enter the Valve Station.
Some Raptors destroy the Tomahawks. Get across the drained area and take care
of the Airfield. Extra points are awarded when the Airfield is Captured, and
even more bonuses are gained if the Airfield is Captured AND the Aircraft
inside are not harmed! The latter two choices are hard though. Once done, take
control of the Toxin Tractors in the garage. Use them to clear the Bunkers that
guard the lower road (stealth is not possible, as there are spy drones there).
Use the other team to get across and use them to neutralize the Cold Fusion
Reactors. Capture the Artillery Platform and the Battle Busses.
Once the Reactors are leveled, the USA Defences are down, and are vulnerable to
attack. Across the bridge of Jarmen's Team, there are more Units to be
liberated. Clear the city of Garrisoned Structures, and take the USA Barracks.
Get both teams to the Toxin Facility, clearing the Bunkers.
Use the Supply Trucks provided to transport the Toxins to the Plane. Meanwhile,
garrison the Bunkers and try to defend the Facility against invading USA
forces. Use the Quad Cannons and RPG Troopers take care of the Aircraft. The
mission ends once 15 Toxin samples are taken.
A group of Rebels try to defend the plane while under attack by USA Forces.
The plane leaves and the GLA manage to escape.
---------------------------
4.25 >GLA 5 "Sneak Attack"<
---------------------------
Location: Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany.
Difficulty: Insane!
Fun Factor: 10.
Objectives:
-Destroy the USA Support Base.
-Destroy the Main USA Base.
Notes: Chinese armies are available early.
Overview: This is the final major USA installation. The GLA will need to remove
it and take Europe by storm. They start the assault on a vacant Chinese Base,
and then succeed in Capturing it. Another GLA-supporting village has been
located in this area, and are willing to help fight the USA.
Opinion: This mission is fun, because it is one of the few missions that allow
players to fight with allies. This walkthrough assumes that the Chinese Base
and technologies are not available, hence all the hubub surrounding the GLA
subjects.
In the General's Window, select:
-Marauder.
-SCUD Launcher.
-Rebel Ambush.
-Cash Bounty.
-Sneak Attack.
Normally, I would sell the Chinese Defences, and build a GLA Base. Secure the
entryways leading to the current position, and Capture any Tech Structures. To
the east is the USA Support Base, which should be annihilated ASAP. The army
provided should be enough to destroy or Capture the Base, and rescue the POWs.
Send the POWs to the orange GLA village, and the GLA will make action. Capture
the Airfield, as well as any other Structures, and then explore the area.
There are LOTS of Tech Structures in the main area. The USA Base is located to
the north. There's an island to the northwest that has some abandoned Chinese
Units that can be Captured, as well as Tech Structures. Once ready, attack the
USA Base. The USA will use up to two Particle Cannons, so try to take them out.
They are built in predictable locations, so secure those. Use Super Weapons
when available, and try to put as much attacks on the USA as possible. The USA
have also placed some Pathfinders in the nearby village (next to the allied GLA
Base), so use Quad Cannons to deal with them. The orange GLA army can help a
lot here.
The USA will use many units to attack the GLA, so be prepared for any of those!
Secure any choke-points with Defences, and don't let any units get past!
When the Campaign is complete, the GLA will start to further invade Europe,
with the USA fleeing from the continent.
===========================
4.30 >China First Campaign<
===========================
The USA Army has pulled back from Europe, and the GLA have taken the continent.
The Chinese are furious of the GLA's use of their units, and have taken
action...
-------------------------------------
4.31 >China 1 "The Dragon Unleashed"<
-------------------------------------
Location: Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 6.
Objectives:
-Establish a Base.
-Destroy the GLA.
Notes: Listening Outposts are introduced.
Overview: Because of the GLA's use of China's resources, the Chinese have
launched a deadly Nuclear Missile strike on the GLA Base. However, many GLA
units survived the attack, and need to be cleared out of this area.
Opinion: For those who have played the last GLA mission, this map will look
familiar. The only difference is that the USA are gone and the GLA have taken
their place, and that the map is smaller.
In the General's Window, select:
-Artillery Barage.
-Red Guard Training.
-Carpet Bomber.
Build the Base. Upgrade the Overlord to have a Speaker Tower (no others can be
produced). Attack the GLA units to the east. Get the Listening Outposts to the
squad. Train lots of Red Guards and use them to Capture the abandoned USA
outpost to the south (once secure), and start pumping out Crusaders. Go east
and north, clearing any GLA units. Capture the Tech Structures and the four GLA
vehicles. Advance further north and clear the village (watch out for Demo
Traps!). To the east is the town. Clear the Demo Traps and Garrisoned
Buildings.
Now that the GLA have been cleared out of the south, go north and secure the
three access points, clearing the Demo Traps. When ready, assault the Base! Use
the Inferno Cannons to destroy the Artillery Platform, and level the place!
-----------------------------------
4.32 >China 2 "Defending The Fire"<
-----------------------------------
Location: Baikonur, Southern Kazakhstan.
Difficulty: Medium.
Fun Factor: 8.
Objectives:
-Defend the Main Nuclear Reactor for 15 minutes.
-Rebuild the Base.
-Destroy the four GLA Bases.
Notes: Nuke Cannons are upgraded. Helixes can also be used.
Overview: The GLA have attempted to destroy a major Nuclear Reactor in order to
stop the Chinese. They manage to defend it, but only by losing most of their
Base. Reinforcements are on route, but until then, the Chinese will need to
hold off the GLA.
Opinion: This one can be challenging, mainly because the only production
Structure first available is the Barracks and the Supply Centre. Skills with
Artillery will be needed.
In the General's Window, select:
-Artillery Barage.
-Carpet Bomber.
-Emergency Repair.
Get those Bunkers filled with Tank Hunters! Defend them with Gattling Tanks,
and set up those Nuke Cannons (select the Neutron Shells, then make them fire
at something and make them stop)! Use the Nuke Cannons to fire at enemy Armour,
then take them with Infantry. Try to take as many Armour as possible, and
preserve them. Don't lose any Chinese Armour, as they cannot be replaced until
the reinforcements arrive. Try not to lose any Structures either.
Later on, three Spy Outposts will be located. If they are liberated, they can
use Carpet Bombers! Once the Reinforcements arrive, build the Base like it was,
and build even more Defences around it! Use the Helixes provided to blow the
GLA Bases to kingdom come. Use them to get to the Spy Outposts. Try to have the
Infantry there survive, and take out the pursuing vehicles ASAP (The Toxin
Tractors and Technicals first).
This is a straightforward, yet hard mission, because the incoming enemy waves
will become stronger overtime, but enemy Armour can be Captured with Nuke
Cannons.
---------------------------
4.33 >China 3 "Liberation"<
---------------------------
Location: Coburg, Germany.
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 5.
Objectives:
-Destroy any GLA Statues in the city.
-Destroy the GLA Statue in the north Base.
Notes: A Time Limit is used.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
Overview: Now that the Reactor is secure, the Chinese must destroy the GLA. The
Statues seen in the cutscene (and in the GLA victory cutscene) must be
destroyed in order to liberate this city. The liberation of Europe has begun...
Opinion: This is a frantic scenario, because there is a time limit, and the
city is highly guarded. Be on the lookout for any Demo Traps, as they are
located throughout the city, as well as cloaked Defences.
In the General's Window, select:
-Emergency Repair.
-Frenzy.
Use the Hackers to get some money. Scout out the area for Demo Traps and build
a second War Factory. Start pumping out Armour and get some Red Guards to
defend the Base against Rebel Ambushes. Scout out the city, being aware of any
suprises, and take out the Statues one by one.
Once all Statues in the city are toppled, only the Base Statue remains. This is
the hardest one to destroy, as it is heavily defended. Attack one side and rush
the Statue, focusing on little else.
This is a very hard mission, curtesy to the International Opinion, which will
decrease over time, but will increase when any Statue gets destroyed. Try to
gather a huge army of BattleMasters and rush to the scene. The Emergency Repair
will be useful, as will be the Frenzy.
Here's some tips from Ricci Santiago:
"
* I chose the Carpet Bomb upgrade to destroy some of the statues, and some of
them works before the GLA Stinger Sites destroy the Carpet Bomb Plane.
* I tried to capture the Oil Well at the east side of the map, (there are UN
boxes there for added money), before the Oil Well, there is 1 demo trap to be
destroyed. (When I captured this, it is still destroyed as GLA forces will
attack from the east shore).
* There is 1 Gattling tank I put on guard for the command centre, as there are
GLA rebels coming in stealth to capture it.
* Bunkers with tank hunters and chain guns must be built to protect the base
for incoming enemy forces, and also, to destroy incoming SCUD missiles (I
really hate those!).
* Lastly, carpet mines are very useful to destroy or damage the enemy vehicles
before they come to my base."
------------------------------
4.34 >China 4 "Burning Skies"<
------------------------------
Location: Halberstadt, Germany.
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 4.
Objectives:
-Prevent all GLA units from escaping.
Notes: Helixes are introduced.
Overview: The GLA are now on the run. Most of them have been fleeing Europe,
and into cover. One group gets chased by an angry army of Red Guards, and then
get cut off by Helixes and Tanks. The same must be done in this mission.
Opinion: This is a VERY, VERY easy mission, a relief compared to the previous.
Helixes are the best way to deal with the incoming convoys, although the Nuke
Cannon can use Neutron Shells too...
In the General's Window, select:
-Cluster Mines.
-Emergency Repair.
-Frenzy.
First, make a second Supply Truck, Upgrade the Overlords with a Speaker Tower
and a Gattling Cannon, and send in the Troop Crawlers to scout out the entire
map for Tech Structures (to Capture with their Red Guards). Meanwhile, keep
making and Upgrading Helixes (and maybe even build more Air Fields and MIGs).
If necessary, train lots of Infantry. War Factories cannot be made, so preserve
the ones provided.
As for the GLA waves, try to put Cluster Mines at the entry points and make
Helixes massacre them all. This process is long, but very easy. At one point,
two waves will come, but the paths are not initially known. Use Helixes and
MIGs to fry them all.
-------------------------------------
4.35 >China 5 "The Dragon's Destiny"<
-------------------------------------
Location: Near Hamburg, Germany.
Difficulty: Insane!
Fun Factor: 10.
Objectives:
-Destroy the Fake GLA Base.
-Destroy the USA Base.
-Destroy the Main GLA Base.
Notes: The ECM Tank is introduced.
Overview: This is the final GLA army. Once they are destroyed, the GLA will be
gone forever. Unfortunately, the USA have already evacuated the area, and the
GLA have Captured their Base.
Opinion: This is it. Here, it can be messy and frantic, as the GLA have already
made a formidable Base to deal with, as well as the USA Base. There are
numerous abandoned USA Armour, so try to search for those and Capture them.
In the General's Window, select:
-Nuke Cannon.
-Artillery Barage.
-Carpet Bomber.
Expand the Base and Capture the Oil Derricks in the northeast corner. Build an
Internet Centre, fill it up with Hackers, and invest in the Satellite Hack.
Upgrade the Overlords, and train Black Lotus. To the west, there are four USA
vehicles and a supply dock, which should be secured.
To the south is the Fake GLA Base, which is surrounded by Tech Structures.
Destroy it, and the Tunnel Network, and secure the bridge. Capture any Tech
Structures. In this area, there is a USA Dozer which should be Captured to make
a USA Base. Build it anywhere, although it should be built where the Fake GLA
Base last stood.
The USA Base is filled with Patriot Missiles. Take them out with Artillery, and
Capture the whole Base. The Particle Cannon, located near the northwest corner
should be removed. There are captive Pilots in the Base, rescuing them can be
helpful. Once the USA base is captured, build defences at the bridge and get
all units present to that location.
The GLA Base is located to the southwest, and is highly secure. From the USA
Base, attack it from there. Attack the SCUD Storm (located in the southwest
corner) must be taken out at all costs. By now, the Reinforcements Pad should
have given a lot of Battlemasters at the southeast base, so flank from there as
well.
Once all Bases are destroyed, the Campaign is complete, and the Chinese have
been thanked for their help, and they celebrate!
=====================================
5.0 >General's Challenge Walkthrough<
=====================================
The General's Challenge lets a General face other Generals in a big league.
Note that the Infantry and Demo Generals are not faced in this Challenge.
Also, the orders of the Generals faced will vary (except for Leang's, which is
at the end), depending on the General used.
-----------------------
5.1 >Air Force Granger<
-----------------------
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 4.
Overview: Granger's Base is located in the northeast, the Challenger's in the
southwest. There are many groups of Oil Derricks, and Granger's Base is secure
in the mountains. The lower plains are mostly farmland, and there's a village
in the centre.
Opinion: Granger's Aircraft is the biggest threat in this challenge, because
they are immune to Rocket attacks (unless there are too many). He also uses
Stealth Fighters and Comanches, so act fast!
For Every Side:
Establish a Base and Capture the nearby Oil Derricks. Set up accurate Anti-
Aircraft weapons and make some Defences to detect any Stealth. When ready,
advance across the bridge. Capture the Oil Derricks in the farm area and build
some Defences. Breach the Patriot Defences on the east gate and destroy
Granger's Base. Go for the Air Fields first.
As the USA:
Avengers will be used as Anti-Aircraft weapons. Townes' Laser Turrets are able
to down Granger's Aircraft, so use those. Alexander's EMP Patriots could also
be able to fend off his Aircraft, but they might not work. Use Microwave Tanks
to disable Granger's Defensive perimeter, and use Avengers to defend the attack
group.
As the Chinese:
Fortunately, the Chinese use Gattling Cannons instead of Rocket Launchers to
defend against Aircraft, so use those. Most of Fai's Units use Gattling
weapons, so diversity is not his concern (except for Nuke Cannons). General
Tao's arsenal can also breach Granger's Defences, but he will need to use
Gattling Tanks for Defence, or maybe Overlords with Gattling Upgrades. The same
applies to Kwai's, but he needs to use more Overlords if he should get into
Granger's Base.
As the GLA:
The GLA have it worst. Their only chance of destroying Granger's Aircraft is to
use Quad Cannons. Use a Sneak Attack on the other side of the river for quick
access, and use either SCUD Launchers or Rocket Buggies to level his Patriots.
---------------
5.2 >Tank Kwai<
---------------
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 5.
Overview: Kwai's capital is mostly farmland, and his base is located in the
upper hills. The battlefield is spacious, good for tank battles.
Opinion: No other map is more simple to draw than this one. Anyways, the
challenge is straightforward, with only variables to pay attention to.
For Every Side:
Try to defend the flanks and expand the territory. There's a Reinforcement Pad
at the northwest corner, so build Defences for that. There's a pair of Oil
Derricks which should be secured, and an Artillery Platform to the east. With
those, a Repair Bay is at the northern side of the map. For the attack, breach
one of his entrances and then take Kwai's Base by storm.
As the USA:
Tomahawk Missiles or Microwave Tanks can take Kwai's Defences, and try to use
Patriot Defences on Kwai's Tanks.
As the Chinese:
Any kind of Defence can fend off Kwai's Armour, and use Nuke Cannons to breach
his Defences. MIGs patrolling the area can help Defend the perimeter.
As the GLA:
Stinger Sites are the most effective way to deal with Kwai's Armour, and Tunnel
Networks can bring in emergency reinforcements. Use Bomb Trucks or Artillery to
get past his Defences.
-----------------
5.3 >Toxin Thrax<
-----------------
Difficulty: Easy.
Fun Factor: 6.
Overview: An "X" shaped river divides four sections of Dr. Thrax's Toxin
Facility. His is located on the northeast section, the challenger's on the
opposite side. There are numerous Toxin Bunkers that are leaking that could
explode in deadly Anthrax.
Opinion: A neat feature in this challenge are Toxin Bunkers. Unfortunately,
most of them are too damaged and too messy to Capture with standard Soldiers.
Fai will have trouble facing this maniac!
For Every Side:
Build the Base and Capture the Oil Derrick to the near east. Destroy any
leaking Bunkers in the village and destroy the Defences protecting the north
bridge. Capture the Fuel Refinery and build some Defences to defend the north
bridge. Capture the Oil Derrick to the west. Breach the Defences on the east
bridge and Capture the Artillery Barage. Capture the Bunker and destroy the
leaking one. Then Capture the Arms Dealer. Across the north bridge, destroy
the outpost and set up a Base there. Destroy the Defences on the east island.
When ready, advance into Dr. Thrax's Base. If he builds a SCUD Storm, destroy
it.
As the USA:
Aircraft can quickly bomb Dr. Thrax's Bases, and they can go in and out. A
ground assault is also possible. Purchase the Chem Suits upgrade as soon as
possible.
As the Chinese:
Black Lotus can Capture the leaking Toxin Bunkers safely. Have some MIGs target
some Defences and use Nukes to temporarily put Dr. Thrax's Base into
intermission.
As the GLA:
Suicide Bombers can destroy Dr. Thrax's property. Use SCUD Storms against his
own. A stealthy attack can also be possible, provided that he does not have
Defences in certain regions.
------------------
5.4 >Laser Townes<
------------------
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 7.
Overview: Townes' Base is located in the dead centre of the map. His "pentagon"
Base is highly secure with LOTS of Laser Turrets. His Infantry are spread out
across the city, and there is some Tech Buildings in the city and in the
northeast corner. Try to target his Reactors. Try to use Anti-Air to fend off
the Comanches.
Opinion: Because of his Laser Turrets, it will be difficult to get to his Base.
Artillery will be needed to take them out, and Superweapons could be vital to
Townes' defeat.
For Every Side:
Build the Base and Capture any Tech Buildings nearby. Try to clear out any
Structures that Townes tries to garrison with his Rangers. Get to the northeast
corner, Capture the Tech Buildings, and set up Defences. Use either Artillery,
abilities, or Superweapons to breach his Defences. Consider destroying his
Reactors to bring his Turrets (and Tanks) offline.
As the USA:
Tomahawks will need to be in number in order to destroy the Defences. Once the
Defences are down, use Aurora Bombers to destroy his Structures. Use a Chinook
to evade the Turrets and deliver some units to the northeast corner.
As the Chinese:
Nuke Cannons will be used to breach the Defences. Use a Helix to get to the
northeast corner.
As the GLA:
A Sneak Attack should be used to get to the northeast corner. Rocket Buggies or
SCUD Launchers can wipe out the Laser Turrets.
-----------------
5.5 >Nuclear Tao<
-----------------
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 7.
Overview: General Tao's Base is divided in two, and he keeps his Nuclear
Missiles safe in his Base. Sometimes, radiation appears in the map, so be
aware. The Challenger launches an attack, but it fails.
Opinion: Tao's Base is not shown in the cutscene, and instead, it is a short
battle. Try to observe his Base first, then quit, and then go back in again.
Tao will not waste any time to get his Nukes prepared, so he will need to be
rushed.
For Every Side:
Build the Base, avoiding the radiation left by the Missile. Secure the valley
and go west and north, and secure the Oil Derrick. Capture the Oil Derricks in
the valley and try to destroy Tao's first Nuke. There's a Nuke Truck located in
Tao's east Base, near the entrance, so try to destroy it. There's another Nuke
Truck next to the Fuel Refinery in the city, so be careful. Destroying his
Reactors will put more losses on Tao than regular Chinese Generals.
As the USA:
Use Aircraft to destroy the Missiles and the Nuke Truck. A Spectre Gunship or
Fuel Air Bomb can decimate more of Tao's Structures.
As the Chinese:
Use Aircraft to destroy the Missiles and the Nuke Truck. Fai's forces can use
Neutron Shells to capture some of Tao's vehicles, while Kwai's Tanks will need
to breach through Tao's defences by force. In either case, try taking out the
Reactors to gain the upper hand.
As the GLA:
Use Terrorist Combat Cycles and Bomb Trucks to destroy the Missiles and the
Nuke Truck.
--------------------
5.6 >Stealth Kassad<
--------------------
Difficulty: Hard.
Fun Factor: 5.
Overview: Kassad has two Bases. The south one contains a Toxin Facility and the
north one is in the farms. Some Tech Buildings are located in the northeast
mountain, but it is more secure than it appears. He first kills a leader, and
then laughs as he faces the Challenger.
Opinion: Stealth is one of the biggest concerns about this Challenge. Lots of
Stealth Detectors will need to be used. Memory of the map will be needed too.
For Every Side:
Build the Base and Capture the Artillery Platform. Clear out any Demo Traps and
the Tunnel Network guarding the UN Cash box. Capture the next Platform and
build Defences. Get to the northeast mountain, clear the Defences, and Capture
the Tech Structures. Use a Superweapon to clear the valley leading to the north
Base from Demo Traps. Use Artillery to breach the Defences on either Base, and
clear them out. Near the south Base is some Tech Structures, which is also
guarded by Stealthed traps.
As the USA:
Use a Chinook to get to the northeast mountain and use Aircraft to clear any
Defences out. Have every Armour unit have a Scout Drone to find Stealth, or use
Pathfinders to scout ahead.
As the Chinese:
Use a Helix to get to the northeast mountain and use MIGs to clear any Defences
out. Use Gattling Overlords, Listening Outposts, or Troop Crawlers to find
Stealth.
As the GLA:
Use Combat Cycles to get to the northeast mountain and to clear those Defences
out (with Terrorists). Use Bomb Trucks or SCUD Launchers to destroy any
Defences, and use Upgraded Radar Vans to find Stealth.
------------------
5.7 >SW Alexander<
------------------
Difficulty: Insane!
Fun Factor: 8.
Overview: Alexander's territory is made of tiny islands, her main Base is on
the large, northeast island, while the Challenger's is to the southwest. Her
Particle Cannon is on the other side of that Island, and is guarded.
Opinion: This can be one of the most mentally challenging feats that will need
to be passed, especially for the GLA players! Aircraft and Sneak Attacks will
be vital to getting around.
For Every Side:
Build the Base, and establish Anti-Aircraft Defences, as Alexander will send in
Comanches. Capture the Oil Derricks to the west, and Capture the Artillery
Platform. Destroy any EMP Patriots that threaten the troops. Capture the Oil
Derrick to the east, and then proceed south. Capture the Particle Cannon,
clearing any Defences there. Try to advance to the north, where Alexander's
only Supply Centre lies. Destroy it to hamper Alexander's production. After
that, focus on her Supply Drop Zones. Capture the Structures, and destoy all
Defences. Use Superweapons, Aircraft, or Abilities to destory her Base. Once
her power or all of her Defences are down, assault the Base. Try to target
Structures that her Dozers cannot access.
As the USA:
Use any Aurora Bombers, Stealth Fighters, and Raptors to attack any EMPs. A
Chinook can easily transport troops to the Supply Centre.
As the Chinese:
Use MIGs with the MIG Armour, and Black Napalm/Nuclear MIG upgrades. Have Nuke
Cannons deal with Defences safely, and the EMP Bomb can help disable
Alexander's power.
As the GLA:
Use the Radar Scan AND the Sneak Attack Abilities to get across islands. Use
Terrorist Cycles to attack any accessible EMPs. A Rebel Ambush might be a way
to Capture some of Alexander's "mountain" Structures. Just keep away from those
EMP Turrets!
----------------
5.8 >Boss Leang<
----------------
Difficulty: Insane!
Fun Factor: 9.
Overview: The final General is located in the mountains. Her Base is well
developed, and she makes use of ALL THREE SuperWeapons! Destroying one of her
three Bunkers will reset the timers on all of her SuperWeapons. The Challenger
launches an attack convoy, but they are destroyed by Leang's SuperWeapons.
Opinion: Leang's army is one that combines the best of USA, Chinese, and GLA
troops (despite her recognition on China). Her map is like a maze, and her Base
is very secure. Good Luck!
For Every Side:
Build the Base, and Capture the two Oil Derricks. When ready, advance across
the bridge. Deal with the Rangers and the Dragon Tank. Try to clear out the
Bunkers and the Armour at the top of the ridge, and Capture the Tech Structures
there. Capture the Oil Derricks at the southeast corner. Clear out the Infantry
guarding the Toxin Bunker and secure it. Go north and secure the Particle
Bunker. Take the Tech Structures near it. Move a Detector under the bridge and
try to clear out any Pathfinders under the bridge leading to Leang's Base.
Advance east and secure the Nuclear Bunker. Retreat south and clear out the two
cities.
Build a Base south of the big bridge. When ready, assault Leang's Base. When
the SuperWeapon timers almost go down to 0, Capture or destroy a Bunker. Use
SuperWeapons whenever possible, and target Leang's Superweapons first.
As the USA:
Use Rangers to clear out any Garrisoned Bunkers and Buildings. Use Avengers to
down any Aircraft.
As the Chinese:
Have a Nuke Cannon clear out any Garrisoned Bunkers and Buildings, and try to
make them Capture any partrolling Armour.
As the GLA:
Jarmen Kell and SCUD Launchers can deal with most patrols. A Sneak Attack on
Leang's Base can do some damage.

6.0 >Multiplayer<
=================
In Multiplayer, things can really get frantic and fun. Also, there are battle
honours to be collected.
--------------
6.1 >Skirmish<
--------------
Ordinary practice for non-ordinary multiplayer matches. Every General can be
used in this mode (Except for Leang).
Here's a strategy sent in by John "pro_gamerz_93" Livingston to defeat typical
GLA players:
------------------
USA vs GLA
------------------
OK, build up your base as usual. Wait until you become a 3 Star General. At the
General's Powers tab, choose Pathfinders and the A-10 Thunderbolt Strike. Now,
build around 10 Humvees. For every Humvee you build, train 4 Missile Defenders
and a Pathfinder. Once your assault force is ready, charge towards the GLA
base. Target the Stinger Sites first , then their Tunnel Networks , and then
the rest of the base. This should be a breeze since the soldiers inside the
Stinger Sites are vulnerable to sniper fire. Level up the base as soon as
possible. And, you're done !
--------------------
China vs GLA
--------------------
As usual, build up your base. This time, your assault units are Battlemasters
and Dragon Tanks or Inferno Cannons. Dragon Tanks are better though. Build
around 10 Battlemasters and 10 Dragon Tanks. Now, put the Battlemasters on
standby. Torch the Stinger Sites with Dragon Tanks and make sure there are NO
survivors. Assault the base, eliminate any opposing units, and win! THE END!
------------------
GLA vs GLA
------------------
This can be a little tough since both of you share the same technologies.
Anyway, pump out 20 Scorpions, 15 Quad Cannons and 10 Toxin Tractors if
necessary. Attack the base as usual, using Quad Cannons and Toxin Tractors to
kill off their defensive perimeter. Rush in with your tanks, obliterate any
remaining structures, and another victory! Woohoo!!!

Here's some tips to get this Award from Lukas "Nox" Diem:
"I have a sure way of winning the "Ultimate Honour" award. For the maps with
two players you can make use of the strategy with General Kwai, I always did it
this way:
1. Choose Kwai's army in the Skirmish menu, Kassad is the enemy. Choose an
amount of 50 000 credits to start with.
2. Build 4 Construction Dozers, the first one has to build a Nuclear Reactor,
the second one drives close to the main supply area and waits until the Reactor
is built. Then it has to build a Supply Centre.
3. The other two drive to the side of your base that lies in the direction of
the enemy base. The one that builds the Reactor joins them as soon as the first
task is done.
4. When the Supply Centre is finished, build a second Supply Truck and let the
three Dozers build one War Factory each while the fourth Dozer builds another
Nuclear Reactor.
5. When the War Factories are ready, don't build any Battle Masters, let the
Dozer that built the reactor build a Propaganda Centre.
6. When the Propaganda Centre is finished, every War Factory has to build 3
Emperors, Kassad will soon attack with two Quad Cannons. As soon as the nine
Emperors are finished, build some more while you put Gatling Cannons on those
you have.
7. Let the Emperors attack the enemy as soon as they are armed with Gatling
Cannons (you can upgrade the Gatlings Cannons in the War Factory). It should
not be much of a problem to overrun the enemy base as the Emperors will kill
and destroy everything in their way.
In case this strategy does not work you can alternatively use the one I used
for multiple enemies, it should work as well. The strategy above needs a lot of
money so if you can gather ressources from more than one point I suggest you do
it. I don't say that this strategy works under any circumstances but usually it
will do the trick.
In case there are more than one or two enemies on the map, I had a lot of
success with this strategy:
1. Choose Townes' army to fight with, all your enemies are Prince Kassad, there
are no teams. You start with an amount of 50 000 credits (you'll need them).
2. Build 5 or 6 Construction Dozers, two of them will constantly build Fusion
Reactors until you have about 25 of them. The other four Dozers will build a
Supply Centre and a Laser Patriot defence. If there is any natural protection
for your base such as water or cliffs, use them as well.
3. The Laser defence is the most important part of this stratgy, your base will
stand and fall with the Laser Patriots. Build lines of Laser Patriots, at least
5 to 7 in a line. Once they are finished you won't have any problems with enemy
units. There are no tanks and Kassad's only artillery is the Buggy but once the
Lasers have destroyed a unit in their normal range they can target units in
twice the distance so the Buggies shouldn't be a problem.
4. Especially when you play on a map with four or more players there will only
be one or two enemies that will attack you. As there are no teams the other
Generals are busy killing each other and you just have to watch your
neighbours. You should build an Air Field so your Dozers are able to build a
Strategy Centre.
5. When you know who attacks you, just build a Strategy Centre behind the Laser
Patriots that are built in his direction. When it is finished, use the
"Bombardment" mode so you will never again have to fear Kassads Buggies.
6. Always keep an eye on the resources you have. Be sure that you have at least
2500 credits when your strategy centre is finished. To be independent from the
ressources that are located on the map you have to build Supply Drop Zones (I
always built 16 of them).
7. The only attacks you can't prevent with your Laser defence are Sneak Attacks
and Rebel Ambushes. For Sneak attacks your opponent has to be a 5-star-general
(which your laser defence hopefully will prevent). Rebel Ambushes will always
be placed near to your Supply Drop Zones so protect them (can be done very
easily with Pathfinders).
8. When you have the money for it (and that should not be much of a problem)
you can let your Dozers build Particle Cannons, with the amount of Energy that
is produced by your 25 Fusion Reactors (all of them upgraded of course) that
should work out just fine.
9. When everything worked as it did when I tried it this way you should be able
to destroy any base on the map just with your Particle Cannons (the buildings
use stealth but you just have to use your radar to solve this problem).
This strategy contains several things you have to consider:
- Watch your money, you start with a lot of it, but you will need it as well!!
- Energy is crucial for Townes' base, always keep building and upgrading
Reactors!
- With your defence you will become promoted pretty fast, use your points for
Spy Drones, Air Strike, Fuel Air Bomb (upgrade it to the MOAB), Spectre and
Pathfinder.
- In case your neighbour builds a SCUD Storm Platform you can destroy it with
your General Abilities (or with Aurora Bombers, as soon as you have four of
them).
After you have four things, you don't have to worry about the rest of the game:
- A Laser defence that can defend your base properly (as well against combat
cycles, watch out, cliffs are no defence against them).
- 25 to 30 upgraded Fusion Reactors, you won't have any problems with energy as
long as you have those Reactors.
- 8 or more Supply Drop Zones, no problems with money any more (don't forget to
guard them!)
- More than 5 Particle Cannons (nothing can defend your enemies against THIS)."
