its already been mentioned to the mods about the AI command center rebuilding prob, im sure they will fix it in the next verson. Although if you think of it this way, notice how once you lose your command center you tend to die? Generals powers cant save you now, cant see whats goin on on the rest of the map, cant build dozers(try not to lose ur last ones), and geting it rebuilt is much harder then keeping it alive, most AI go and kill the mid building command center.

I was thinking that a multyplayer generals challenge might be interesting, after going to the internet menu, and geting online, make a game, then have a selecter box for "Generals Challenge", put up to mabye 4 players through a special generals challenge facing every general, starting with the milita, ending with the boss. What do you think? It would be alot of work, but I dont think it would take up those AI slots would it? They are just maps anyway, so if it takes up the slots, have them downloadable. Only thing is it wouldnt be a continuous challenge, but all the same it would be cool.

well i guess that idea would let humies gang up on hard ai and roll over them with a smug grin on their faces but then again much larger maps would be in order to maintain the gen challenge individuality compared to skirmish otherwise it would just be a skirmish with some ai voices

speaking of ai voices i have been thinking about the laugh that rangers, red guard, rebels and guerillas and what if instead of a laugh it would use the unique voice taunts that the gen you are playing as and click spamming wouldn't work until the taunting is done.

Im thinking almost AOD hard, and it would be a continuing battle like the generals challenge goes on, just with lots of people...

After struggling to beat the infantry gen with the AF Gen last Week before finally beating him I walked all over him with the Demo Gen again vs hard. In fact I walked all over everybody with the Demo Gen. I love his genreal powers. The Convoy Ambush is devestating. Add in some scuds and that Terror Cell and in makes a dangerous combo no matter who your up against.

Next up I will either play the SW Gen or stealth gen. I havent decided yet.

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

If you play as the SW gen be careful with AF - he tends to PDL all of your EMP missiles. And avengers are expensive and crap, plus you need a strategy centre. Although, Vanguard said a while ago that king raptors as it turns out have 2 PDL's, and in 8.0 they will only have 1, so maybe you should wait for that. I am

General question - how do people defend with the GLA? i find that their base defences suck (except demo traps, of course), and all of their units seem to be designed for attacking.

[Vanguard]

Actually as EA had it, all the aircraft have two PDL's, the second was to somehow make them feel better I guess, but they will also get their regular PDL's via upgrade, they wont just come on the planes anymore.

[00 Nobody]

Well then, I guess we're no longer going to have raptors that almost can't get shot down by rockets... good, that DOES make it a little unfair.

[Soul]

Yup and wat about the milita will they get any aircraft and if so wat will they be?

Dont build base defences you dont win by defending your base from their attacks, thats only how you stay alive. Just think... they are good at attacking, so attack. Build offences to kill your oponents offences before you oponent uses them against you, just make sure you have the money to do so.

Not much trouble there, the GLA has the second-cheapest units in the game, even their best tanks are pretty cheap.

[weltazar2000]

Just completed the SW gen's first challenge vs The Tank Gen. Very challenging I must say! And after such a tough challenge I was hoping for an easier gen to face in my second challenge, but now I'm up against the AF Gen! Dude is almost unbeatable. Its worst than when I couldn't get past the new infantry gen when I was playing the AF Gen! Hes relentless with the air attack and im not sure exactly what the hell to do! I'm going to try again to night, but right now I'm at a loss as to how to beat this guy!

[sath]

i find going out on a supply safari adequate depending on your difficulty
i trick i use all the time Vs that tricky bas*ard is to build turrets on the beach opposite your base near the village so in that way you stand a good chance of blowing his b-2 out of the sky before it does it's worst and by doing this you distract him from attacking your main base as he will concentrate more on your row of turrets on/near the beach in the village than your main base which may leave him vulnerable

on a side note has anyone noticed that on gen challenge the tank gen still has tank hunter garrisons?
and the nuke gen still has nuke cannons at the start of the fight? (not that he can be arsed to use them anyway but hey...)

I wonder wat happens when u beat gens challage with all of the gens do u unlock the boss gen as a playable general or something else does anyone have an idea as to wat happens?

[sath]

to be blunter than the pencil i take to school (which is hard): nope

all you get is the warm fuzzy satifying feel of conquering the gen challenge with all the gens and the rights to say: HA! at your computer moniter after defeating impacable enemies (and now to get all the medals for skirmish *SIGH* ) there is a loyalty medal hidden between the the other medals on the right: 20 wins with USA or china or GLA.

[Soul]

U haven't beatin it with all if the gens have u .

[00 Nobody]

I've done it with every USA and China Gen.

[sath]

the gla's defences put them at a huge disadvantage especially Vs the airforce gen and the tank gen so victories with the gla are not easy on gen challenge on hard

[Soul]

Hey u doesn't the tank gen have any tank hunters?

[sath]

the only tank hunters tank gen has now are the ones that got accidently left in his bunkers at the start of the match

I still think the tank gen should have tankhunters.
