    One thing disappointed about the game is that we never get to play as Leang. She's overpowered yes, but what if you face all 3 generals per faction at once during her challenge or some sort of horde mode, base factions first, then the generals.

    So here’s the thing:
    There were originally supposed to be 3 final bosses.
    The US general and strongest of anyone was General Ironside, the GLA Leader was Mommar “Deathstrike” using old Soviet era weapons systems. Then we have Leang.
    Ironside from what we can tell is a no nonsense general who doesn’t waste time and attacks quickly.
    Deathstrike was, According to the audio files, the teacher of all the GLA generals and supposedly a veteran of the Soviet wars in the Middle East. He is also the leader of all GLA forces.
    Leang was intended to have her own Arsenal, but likely due to time constraints, was made a combination of all 3 factions. According to her bio, she was exceptionally talented and is the only woman in China to hold her rank. She captured GLA weapons in the war, and was friendly to United States forces granting her access to loaned US tech.

However, had it been canon, the 1-star general Xiao Ri (callsign Taskmaster) would have been a previous player appearance, his lore being that he was the commander that led the PLA into Europe during the Zero Hour campaign, and he would have led the generic APA (Asia Pacific Alliance, the rebranded China) forces.

    Nice suprise for Friday's evening (especially after a hard day at work)! Thank you Jethild.
    Also after watching this video I've came up with a theory of how Leang acquired other factions' assets:
    *USA:* hired american/western PMC for infantry units and vehicles crews (the military tech was stolen/illegally acquired).
    *GLA:* provided financial backing to some more pro-China GLA's cells in exchange of access to their arsenal and military advisors.
    But that's just my opinion. If anyone has their own thoughts on the subject, feel free to share. 😊

    Leang is Great and not great to play at the same time there are some advantages and disadvantages in her arsenal.
    Advantages:
    All of her non-chinese structures such as the cold fusion reactor, tunnel networks or scud storm cam be upgraded with mines and neutron mines.
    Gattling Tanks, Dragon Tanks, Avengers and Overlord tanks can upgraded with composite armor
    (In the games files, Leang's overlords have the composite armor upgrade but it doesn't show its upgrade cameo).
    Disadvantages:
    King Raptor and Aurora Bomber lacks the Countermeasures Upgrade(if playable )
    Combat Cycles and Rocket Buggies lacks the Junk Repair Upgrade
    Jarmen Kell and Angry Mobs lacks the AP bullet upgrade.

    @kennycai8695 2 года назад +11

    Zero Hour's main disappointment, in my opinion, is the "undercooked" state which it was released in, and Leang reflects that. Based on what I heard from the grapevine (so take it with a grain of salt), Leang was actually one of three "final boss" generals, one for each faction. The US supreme commander was rumored to be named "Ironside", while Mohmar Deathstrike (who made a cameo in the GLA campaign) would have been the GLA's overall commander. All three are believed to deploy the best of the subfactions, but I guess since only Leang was the closest to completion, they rolled all the best weapons into her arsenal and have her as the final boss.
    That being said, had Leang been completed, she would still be a nightmare to face. I mean, as the supreme commander, she can pick and choose the best of the best from the arsenals of Kwai, Shin Fai, and Tao. Imagine Emperor Overlords (Kwai) rolling into your base backed by Assault Crawlers (Shin Fai), while Helixes prepare to drop nuke bombs (Tao) upon orders.

      On the other hand, the existence of GLA generals in the main campaigns mean that logically there should be no way for them to appear in Generals Challenge, considering that Dr. Thrax is defeated in the US campaign and Prince Kassad is defeated in the GLA campaign. Both of them should’ve been dead or captured already. Only General Juhziz (Demolitions General) remains at large.
      Other generals might not have appeared in the main campaigns themselves, but we can always assume that they played their parts during the war somewhere else.

      @dracmeister 2 года назад +6

      The reason why this was because when scripting the AI for campaigns, the AI needs access to the Commandsets of their stuff to properly work.
      Generals Zero Hour only typically has 14 commands per commandset(some mods change this to 18.)
      They ran out of slots in the commandset and didn't bother giving it the GLA Worker fake-structure thing to swap between 2 commandsets since it's not exactly feasible with produced dozers due to having to constantly check if the dozers have one commandset over the other.
      The solution was just to put all of the tech center upgrades in their respective superweapons since those buildings have plenty of open slots.

    Another fantastic video you should make some non C&C videos. I don't think anyone would be mad to see new content and that content would surely get more views. Growing channels with niche topics then expanding out works extremely well. If you get lucky with the algorithm you could grow extremely fast or stagnate you never know with the algorithm it almost seems random.

    • @Jethild
      @Jethild  2 года назад +2

      I have a couple of ideas for non C&C videos. Though they also involve older games, which might make my channel more of a "nostalgia" gaming channel. I don't really want it to be that, though there aren't really any games releasing this year that I'm too interested in covering. But yeah, I do think it would be good to have a non C&C series to go alongside the C&C videos. Having all your eggs in one basket isn't a good idea on RUclips. Especially after what happened with a lot of WH40k channels with that whole NDA controversy several months back. If a company like EA were to do something similar, then that would definitely stunt the channel's growth.

    Interestingly enough, Zero Hour initially was going to have three boss Generals, according to the PRO:Gen mod where it incorporates cut content for C&C Generals and C&C Generals Zero Hour with some alterations. Ironside for the USA, Deathstrike for the GLA and Leang obviously for China. And each of them would've have weapons from the other three Generals of each faction. For example, Ironside would've had weapons from the default USA, Granger, Townes, and Alexander. The same with Deathstrike for the GLA and Leang for China. And they were all playable in challenge mode and in skirmish.
    Instead obviously due to time, deadlines and maybe limitations for the game's development. What got was General Leang being a Chinese General with weapons from all three factions. And Leang is not playable in skirmish or the challenge mode. You have to make a world builder mission to play as her, or mod her in.

    Since the game had plans for boss generals for each side, anybody wonder what the bases for Ironside and Deathstrike would have looked like? I imagine Leang would swap a few things, like trading in Rangers for Minigunners.
    I know bosses weren't designed to balanced but I still wish they were playable offline or if both players allowed it.

      I'm playing Shockwave, and the 3 "boss" generals are playable as they should have been, but are not as overpowered, more like balanced for PvP.. Leang has some spectacular artillery, cool planes and weird flame tanks, Ironside (USA) is all about tank technology and Deathstrike (GLA) has a bit of everything and feels a lot like a boss as well

    The best thing you can do to mitigate the impact of super weapons (and this applies to any c&c game) is to spread out critical structures.

    You should definitely work with the modders for Generals Zero Hour: Shockwave.

    I'm aware that there's no specific lore tied in to creating them all, but you could perhaps do a game theory-esque take on it or something...
