Let's Sperg Let's Sperg Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour - Generals Challenge - Kebabs, Muricans, and Gooks! Oh My!

[Bob Page]

Well, After another round of playing the Tiberium Dawn, I hatched an idea after quickly downing a scotch ale. Inspired by @AngeloTheWizard 's Let's Sperg of FF4, I'll be doing a Let's Sperg of C&C Generals: Zero Hour's Generals Challenge mode. It's like a fighting game where I choose a general from either the USA, China, or GLA factions and kick the ass of 7 other generals, building an army from scratch while enemy generals get their base set up already(fuckin' noobs).

Each faction's strengths:

• USA(America, Fuck Yeah!) - Best Airforce, Every land vehicle has drones that can heal, fight, or snuff out hidden IEDs, Powerful technologies and a friggin satellite laser
• China(USSR 2.0) - Strong in numbers(think zerg rush), Good artillery and tanks, heavy usage of nuclear technologies(and yes, even a nuke), units are cheap to make
• GLA(AKA: ISIS) - Uses stealth and ambush tactics, has suicide bomber units(:islamic, no need for power generators.

Each faction in the generals challenge has three generals that focus on a particular tactic or group of units.

Spoiler: The Generals

• USA Air General: Best air units in the game. Comanches can be upgraded to use stealth, aircraft is cheaper and stronger. Good for blitzkrieg-styled bombing raids.
• USA Laser General: Everything about this one is all about, well... lasers. No artillery but he has laser tanks(cost 1 power each) and turrets. Power structures generate twice as much power.
• USA Superweapon General: Particle cannon cost 50% less, Aurora Bombers drop fuel air bombs. EMP Patriot Turret will insta-rape any aircraft and bend any land vehicle over a barrel and show it the 50 states.
• China Infantry General: All infantry start as veterans, Mini-Gunner infantry can wreck both other infantry and aircraft, horde bonus is stronger.
• China Nuke General: All about those nukes(a fallout fan I presume). Uranium Shells and Nuclear Tank upgrades are available from the start, Nuke Silos costs less, more power from reactors, Tanks are faster.
• China Tank General: If Erwin Rommel was chinese. All tanks are better with the Emperor being able to have both a gattling turret and a propaganda tower, making it able to fuck up land and air while healing its droogs. Oh, and the tanks cost less(oy vey).
• GLA Demolitions General: Terrorists and bomb trucks hit harder, Scud Storm has no toxins but powerful explosives to compensate. Combat Cycles come with terrorists. Aloha Snackbar.
• GLA Stealth General: World Class Hide & Seek Champion. Buildings and Base Defenses can be stealthed. Nuff Said.
• GLA Toxin General: The kebab Walter White. Start with Anthrax Beta upgrade, Rebels now spray toxins, missiles and other explosive weapons(*cough* terrorists *cough*) leave behind toxic clouds.

With that, y'all get to decide which general I get to use for this challenge. So get out there and vote!(You have 7 days)

Thank you for reminding me that I need to finish that bloody thing (it's coming guys, blame College for the slow as fuck update speed).

Never played C&C and I kinda suck at RTS in general, the only one I was ever any good at was Age of Mythology and that was because that game responds exceptionally well to "mass myth units and throw them at the bad thing".

"mass myth units and throw them at the bad thing".

Reminds me of what I did when SC2: Heart of the Swarm first came out. Second to last mission, trained up a bunch of swarmlings and threw them at the psi destroyer. Won that mission within 6 minutes.

Well, by the will of kiwi democracy, I'll be playing as Jihadi Walter White(Toxin General). Expect a vid within the next week or so.
