Command and Conquer: Generals

[ragnarok1945]

basically without music it just feels TOO eerie

[Makο]

No, not exactly eerie, but just...empty.

[ragnarok1945]

maybe, I guess it depends on which general you face in the general challenge (that's the ONLY time I tried without music, never the campaign itself)

[Makο]

I rarely play the general challenge. :I

[ragnarok1945]

I play that more, beaten it with every general

[Makο]

Cool.

Beat the US campaign today.

Did the last level by building a 3 Patriot and 3 Gatling Turret defense at both the US and China base, built the super weapons for the respective factions, then Level 3 A10'd, Fuel Air Bombed, Particle Uplink Cannoned, and Nuked the enemy till they were weak, then used 5 Overlord tanks (1 Prop, 4 Gatling) to Steamroll over what was left.

Yay for overkill!

[ragnarok1945]

that reminds me

since the last level you get both US AND China's army, which do you use more?

[Makο]

I didn't really use any one more than the other. I was just camping out, waiting for each Superweapon and the other things, then built the group of overlords.


"I am...big..."

[ragnarok1945]

Nice. Me, I mainly just built overlords, along with the Particle Cannon

saw no need for BOTH superweapons

[Makο]

There is ALWAYS a need for both super weapons. OVERKILL!


GO BIG OR GO HOME.

[ragnarok1945]

you ever built ALL THREE super weapons before?

[Makο]

Why build it when you can STEAL it? =DDD

[ragnarok1945]

let's just say when you're dealing with human opponents, they tend to have countermeasures

[Makο]

*Steam rolls over enemy base*


*Leaves their super weapon unscathed*

>=D

[ragnarok1945]

I said HUMAN opponent.

It's not that easy to steamroll over a guy's base like that.

This is why I never use USA ground forces for the steamrolling

[Makο]

It's easy to steam roll when you use MY tactics.


Tactical maneuvering, mah boi

[ragnarok1945]

fine then, what's YOUR tactic?

And be SPECIFIC on it

[Makο]

Operation: Confuse the s*** out of your opponent

This tactic is best done using GLA.

SEVERAL FRIKKIN BASES. There is no more explanation.

...Fine, I'll give more. Using this, you'll want to construct a few bases, few and far between, to use as distractions for a base (not your original) that you'll be producing your main forces at.

Also, the bomb truck things. Disguise them as the enemy your targeting and drive a whole bunch of them around. it's teh lulz

Operation: Pressure Point

Probably best done with GLA, but can be done with others.

A fairly simple tactic, yet highly effective. Keep your enemy on their toes. Have at least two bases, with one producing several cheap and quick unit types to pressure your opponent, distracting them from the base you're building your ARMY OF [s]darkness[/s]DEATH from.

Now let's hear some of YOUR tactics.

[ragnarok1945]

I usually don't use bomb trucks

Me, I usually send it wave after wave of suicide bombers on cycles since they can deal with rough terrain

force your opponent to keep building defenses EVERYWHERE

while he does that you build up your Scorpion tanks, Quad Cannons, and Rocket Buggies

you just have to watch out for veteran USA players because they tend to build too many Commanches to counter the Suicide Bomber Cycle threat

tl;dr
Operation: Pressure Point
[/quote]

fix'd :/

[ragnarok1945]

pfffft, you and your lazy too long don't bother reading crap

[Makο]

... -.-

I was saying YOUR tactic was almost identical to Operation: Pressure Point.

[ragnarok1945]

not exactly in terms of suicide cycles

[Makο]

Cycles are a cheap unit, correct?

Therefore, they are the same.

[ragnarok1945]

well I think they're still stronger than the civilian cars
