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.
I managed to capture one of her CCs with a Rebel Ambush, have the CC build a dozer, and then build a Leang CC on my side of the map and have my worker built it before I played around with her units
I kinda forgot but I think u can go to game files and turn on playing mode for general leang you cant do challenges with her but you can use her in skirmish
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.
She might be China's "Blue forces" the opponent used in military exercises. It might explain why she has a mix of the best aspects for all major factions in the game.
Her uniform is that of the Special Police if I remember correctly. The wiki says exactly what branch so I don't think that's it. I think she has Chinese Copies of the US and GLA tech, or she got the US stuff through Lend/Lease. But you do offer another prospect
@@karlcraft2496 For military exercises a nation often has part of their own forces stand in as the opposing forces (OpFor).

Crazy crackpot theory ahead: What if we're playing as General Leang in the Chinese campaing of Zero Hour ? Given that it ends with a Chinese liberation of Europe, she could have recovered the abandoned American bases along with American and GLA equipment. It would also explain why she has such a high rank.
the generals wiki states that the general we play as in the campaign is male with his picture being the chinese general portrayed in one of the game's cover arts. also your red guards literally say "moving now, sir" and "yes, sir"
Unfortunately, Generals 2 never came to pass, so we have no idea. 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.
I think Shockwaves Leang made more sense with the use of fire and artillery, her helicopters though, a group of them can tear through a base extremely well.
I found that a horde of avengers with a few repair drones (was playing Alexander in Shockwave) at the north of your base deals with her air attacks pretty easily.
I sill remember the first time when I defeated the last of the regular generals... I was shocked, speachless and in complete Awe when the Intro to this mission started... She is a hell of a beast and the 13 years old me hat to pull every trick from the sleeve to beat her....
Generals was a pretty Good Game. But this Generals Challenge was my favorite part! So many hours wasted plotting my attacks and memorizing the Enemy’s attacks in the early game. I loved it! The over the top stereotypical voice acting was great! It felt so good to best them and shut them up!
Yeah, I would play them over and over again. Usually on Brutal and always the same way: Lots of superweapons once I got the base established and defended and the enemy superweapons taken care of with either distractions or well-timed Generals powers
It would be great if we get to play as general lang If we beat her with all the nine generals in hard. But to be fair this was a last minute call made by the developers so lets give them some slack. But nevertheless this was a good documentary about the tigress and deserves every single views it gets 👍
@@geraldwtx97 I remember going through the INI files and just enabling her to playable status. While she has no icon on the map, if you mouse over somewhere in the Mongolia region, you might see her portrait appear and this get selected with the voice saying "Boss"
Omg…i forgot how the devs took the easy root and just made her a mixed faction essentially. Thankfully so many mods made her into a real chinese general with unique units, building and abilities.
Difficulties on leang: vanilla: OK but easy Shockwave Mod: that damn superweapon can shot my superweapon and my structures. And that helicopter. Pro Gen mod: I have 5 minutes to reset her Superweapon SWEATING TO BUILD AIR.
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. 😊
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.
There's really nothing else to cover. Plus he said in another comment here somewhere that he was going back to Tiberium content since he has been neglecting it for a while
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.
G.leang: the ultimate general of this cnc genearls. But forgot capture the neutral buildings and put more security in yours important structures for the superweaptons. Ps: in shockwave for one strange reason she have units that create earthquakes.
She's a nightmare on Hard. I still haven't managed to defeat her outside easy and normal. In Hard if you can't push the map you're done, you have no room to set up, you have to keep pushing forward constantly. You can only take a breather if you manage to push her all the way to the main bridge to her base and even then, breaking in is really difficult.
I can't remember how I did it on Vanilla Brutal but yeah it does involve a lot of pushing... and probably finding places to build a crapton of superweapons...
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.
To be honest if game the was fully completed and it wasn't rushed, General Leang would've been a Chinese Boss General that she has the power of Shin Fai's Infantry divisions, Tao's Nuclear Weapons and Kwai's Tank Divisions. This mean she'll be able to build, Redguards, Minigunners, Nuke Battlemasters, Assault Troop Transports, Emperor Tanks etc....
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.
I always figured that the non-chinese tech was meant to be Chinese copies of the tech. It's also possible the US tech was obtained through a Lend/Lease deal.
Canonically, US and China did team up to defeat the GLA, and Leang is the assigned leader of both faction, hence why she has access to both USA and China tech. Granger even leased his King Raptors to her. She has access to GLA tech in order to experiment on them and study their tactics for future assaults against the GLA.
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 That is at some point the same thing to every GLA general, it's always ". Little is known about " Yet I believe in the Chanel skills, it will provide us with a lot of things

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.
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.
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.
Try Contra's Challenge, it's close you can get. Not only you can get to Challenge 3 boss generals of each faction, 3 more generals to challenge them is also added.
There's mods that make her playable. Mods like Contra and Shockwave alter her tech tree so if you want the version of Leang in the base game those aren't 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
6:16 "only an RPG trooper could replace the Terrorist on the motorcycle..." You mean to tell us that Leang's Jarmen Kell did not recieve his motorbike licence?
General "Hold me mommy" Stone Cold Fox Tigress Leang. Loses its gravitas when you don't say the whole name, just like A Pimp Named Slick Back, or the Artist formerly known as Prince.
That honestly reminds me of my favorite thing to do in C&C games, capturing enemy bases and building up as much as I could of their structures and making an impregnable stronghold.
United Nations Security Council? On which both PRC and US are permanent members and main contributors to war on GLA? And GLA forces under her command likely represent "allied" middle eastern and central asian states like Uzbekistan or Iran.
I like the idea of her being the final boss with so many resources at her disposal. It's like you're not just facing a branch of a country's army anymore but the full combined might of a superpower who has declared total war on you and uses any means necessary to take you down. It's fitting that it's a member of the UN security council and I could imagine USA, UK, France and Russia pulling something like this too of they felt threatened enough.
The channel doesn't do anything that was cut, modded or otherwise non-canon. Those two have practically no info beyond a name and what their tech might have been
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.
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. Don't have your factory airport and barracks clumped together for example. Also move your units somewhere as soon as the alert goes out in case your army was the target.
I'm not sure if you'll do this but if you could do the two Shockwave/cut generals of Ironside for the USA and Deathstrike for the GLA. They have such wild differences compared to the Zero Hour counterparts and it would be nice to see videos on them since you did this one on Leang.
You should definitely work with the modders for Generals Zero Hour: Shockwave. Each general's army and arsenal are more catered toward their superpowers, e.g., Leang has her own unique "Nuclear Missile". 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...
Using Tigress reminds me of playing C&C using captured buildings to produce all MCV's to have the Mobile Construction Vehicles of every faction on the field... only with none of the grinding needed to do that. She just has the world's best options available by default.
FutureTech, established in the 1970s in the Red Alert timeline altered by Anatoliy Cherdenko (by eliminating Einstein via Zelinsky's time machine). In case you know that Dragon General Leang was born in the regular timeline (unaffected by Einstein's tampering) by which FutureTech never exists.
Hope you can can do the generals of European Continental Alliance and Russian Federation next from Rise of the Red mod!!! Would love your content there
@@TheArklyte have you ever taken a look at Rise of the Reds? those are very different (also in base game generals and Zero Hour russia essentially a non player in any of the conflicts)
Her outfits is blue same as nuke general. The others are kakhi/brown that mean she is higher level and strong as old cap. Maybe above her is only the premier.
shes a AAAA general. if "A" corresponds to stars, then this would make her some kind of a "grand general of the army" in charge of all chinese forces, below only the central military commission itself, and such a general would 100% have a seat in that small commission second only to the party chairman of the chinese communist party. Technically speaking, such a position have been abolished decades ago, but hey, we're in an alt timeline in the game.
They make General Leang out as this really competent goddess of war as if her weakness isn't literally brute forcing your way through her defenses to the point she tells you to just literally drive a column of tanks down her way.
I tried playing this on hard and before 3 minutes even began, U will meet paladins and troopers immediately. plus on 10 minutes i think she does a sneak attack.

6:44 I assume autocorrect is responsible for changing "napalm" to "nepal"?
I think so too.
This is what we’ve been waiting for!
I always figured that the non-chinese tech was meant to be Chinese copies of the tech. It's also possible the US tech was obtained through a Lend/Lease deal.
Canonically, US and China did team up to defeat the GLA, and Leang is the assigned leader of both faction, hence why she has access to both USA and China tech. Granger even leased his King Raptors to her.
She has access to GLA tech in order to experiment on them and study their tactics for future assaults against the GLA.

Nice and well-detailed as always. Would you consider making one about the Gla assault generals " Mahmud al Huchum "
@Ian Joaquin Harder Because why not ?
@@malaktakieddinemerad1446 Because he isn't conical and thus there is barely anything to talk about
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 That is at some point the same thing to every GLA general, it's always ". Little is known about "
Yet I believe in the Chanel skills, it will provide us with a lot of things
@@malaktakieddinemerad1446 Ok but he's still not canon and thus won't be covered. This channel doesn't do mods
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 who knows ? Many he will become over time
I,ve seen him in many mods and they have even made an info page about him in general wiki, as well as his own voice and lines
Hears recommended strategy.
*Inhales a smoke.*
All I hear is Overlords, or King Raptors.
My boomer dad's favorite faction in all of Generals
I always liked seeing you uploading some lore cnc generals or other mods
It is such a pleasant surprise to see that the ZH videos continue. My soul celebrates! :)
Finally!
so happy that this game still gets recognized, thanks to you man, you're awesome!
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.
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.
"By defeating Leang, you would prove the best among the 3 factions"
Deathstrike and Ironside: lol
Who aren't canon
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 deathstrike exists in generals. ironside...is in limbo.
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 iirc deathstrike is the guy you escort in the first gla mission soooo yeah
@@LunaPPK As a unit, not a general with unique tech. So all the the GLA stuff he already covered would technically be his.
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.
Try Contra's Challenge, it's close you can get.
Not only you can get to Challenge 3 boss generals of each faction, 3 more generals to challenge them is also added.
There's mods that make her playable. Mods like Contra and Shockwave alter her tech tree so if you want the version of Leang in the base game those aren't 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
Still one of the best RTS games for PC. Especially with mods like Shockwave and Rise of the Reds.
Ahh There she is General Leang of the China people!
6:16 "only an RPG trooper could replace the Terrorist on the motorcycle..." You mean to tell us that Leang's Jarmen Kell did not recieve his motorbike licence?
General "Hold me mommy" Stone Cold Fox Tigress Leang. Loses its gravitas when you don't say the whole name, just like A Pimp Named Slick Back, or the Artist formerly known as Prince.
Jethild I am shock with your videos Kane hasn't reply you do the great job for command and conquer lore and history the best
That honestly reminds me of my favorite thing to do in C&C games, capturing enemy bases and building up as much as I could of their structures and making an impregnable stronghold.
Who gave her the authority to acquire not only American but also GLA tech?
United Nations Security Council? On which both PRC and US are permanent members and main contributors to war on GLA? And GLA forces under her command likely represent "allied" middle eastern and central asian states like Uzbekistan or Iran.
Probably scavenged from defeated former generals.
If I had to guess, her tech is Chinese copies of the tech but due to time limitations they couldn't make new models for the stuff
GLA stuff is stuff eh captured USA was providing her tech since she was on good terms both china and the US are defacto allies in this world
The American tech might have been acquired through a Lend/Lease deal too
Stuck at a desk, working OT, and I get this notification... sometimes karma uses FedEx yall!
Love your videos!
I like the idea of her being the final boss with so many resources at her disposal.
It's like you're not just facing a branch of a country's army anymore but the full combined might of a superpower who has declared total war on you and uses any means necessary to take you down.
It's fitting that it's a member of the UN security council and I could imagine USA, UK, France and Russia pulling something like this too of they felt threatened enough.
Yeah I can always use more command to conquer lore videos
can you also do a vidao on generl Ironside of the USA and general deathstrick fromthe GLA ? pleass
Hey there for that question, there won't be any because they were not on the challenge missions but the cut content is still on the ZH files.
The channel doesn't do anything that was cut, modded or otherwise non-canon. Those two have practically no info beyond a name and what their tech might have been
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.
I’m no simp.* general leang joins chat* at ur service my queen.😊
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. Don't have your factory airport and barracks clumped together for example. Also move your units somewhere as soon as the alert goes out in case your army was the target.
I'm not sure if you'll do this but if you could do the two Shockwave/cut generals of Ironside for the USA and Deathstrike for the GLA. They have such wild differences compared to the Zero Hour counterparts and it would be nice to see videos on them since you did this one on Leang.
General Leng should return in the next general game if EA grants us with a new game but as story character
The Chinese-Tibet border? I think you mean the Chinese-Chinese border (This message has been endorsed by the Chinese government)
Now, we need you to do The Rise of the Reds~
Great video! She was really cool ^_^
Leave this place before you anger me.
Some guy crashing statues
Avengers Theat: might of China falls upon you.
you should do the same layour as these videos for RA3
Yes Mistress Leang....I shall admit my weakness!
7:26 If GLA structures don't require Power how does an EMP even remotely affect them?
Would've been interesting if you explain the lore of the mod Rise of the Reds in Generals...
The lore for the mod is actually being re-written, and from what I've seen, Jet doesn't do mod lore.
In your previous video i pointed ou there is a fourth chinese general.
LETSGO
He said back in his Chinese Generals video he was saving Leang for last
I recently played through General's Challenge as Infantry General and, honestly, Leang was probably one of the easier generals.
Great work thank yoU
Hi @Jethild do you think you could do somthing like this for Command & Conquer Kane Warith for the Xbox 360 Faction Challenge please.
You should definitely work with the modders for Generals Zero Hour: Shockwave.
Each general's army and arsenal are more catered toward their superpowers, e.g., Leang has her own unique "Nuclear Missile".
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...
Using Tigress reminds me of playing C&C using captured buildings to produce all MCV's to have the Mobile Construction Vehicles of every faction on the field... only with none of the grinding needed to do that. She just has the world's best options available by default.
I remember modding this general to be playable in Zero Hour, I had no idea why the neutron shell was given to her.
Forget lotus, Leang was the finest baddie of Generals
She's the predecessor of Future Tech
FutureTech, established in the 1970s in the Red Alert timeline altered by Anatoliy Cherdenko (by eliminating Einstein via Zelinsky's time machine).
In case you know that Dragon General Leang was born in the regular timeline (unaffected by Einstein's tampering) by which FutureTech never exists.
Correction: Research upgrades are from Strategy Center, Propaganda Center, and Black Market not 3 Super Weapons.
GLA Palace, rather, lets you authorize the construction of Black Market and SCUD Storm.
First love your videos
Wish I could have been first. ☹️
Hope you can can do the generals of European Continental Alliance and Russian Federation next from Rise of the Red mod!!! Would love your content there
Isn't Russia already represented by GLA?:D
@@TheArklyte have you ever taken a look at Rise of the Reds?
those are very different (also in base game generals and Zero Hour russia essentially a non player in any of the conflicts)
I dont think he will cover any faction or general from modded General version.
He doesn't cover non canon, cut or modded content so no, he will not
@@firebladeentertainment5739 He was joking. Look at the :D
Pretty sure she calls in a fuel air bomb on Hard Difficulty, which arrives from the west at your base, giving you no time to shoot it down.
Her outfits is blue same as nuke general. The others are kakhi/brown that mean she is higher level and strong as old cap. Maybe above her is only the premier.
shes a AAAA general. if "A" corresponds to stars, then this would make her some kind of a "grand general of the army" in charge of all chinese forces, below only the central military commission itself, and such a general would 100% have a seat in that small commission second only to the party chairman of the chinese communist party. Technically speaking, such a position have been abolished decades ago, but hey, we're in an alt timeline in the game.
They make General Leang out as this really competent goddess of war as if her weakness isn't literally brute forcing your way through her defenses to the point she tells you to just literally drive a column of tanks down her way.
Still remembered the old days: literally took around 5-8 times with the "Scorpion Cell" to actually beat her 😭
Are we gonna see some lore on Red Alert 3 Commanders of the three factions as well?
I love you jethid
So, she's a more competent me in games where you can capture enemy equipment?
The timer for her weapons varies:
In Easy, 1 Hour.
In Medium, much shorter.
In Hard, 10 minutes.
I know it's not canon but are thinking about reviewing the shockwave and rise of they reds mods for generals?
He doesn't cover mods, cut content or non canon stuff so no.
Best girl
3 "quad"rants
Very nice
Lol, yeah. That's one of those mistakes you don't realize making until someone points it out.
@@Jethild understandable. All the other maps were in 4 quadrants
I have an idea for a video topic. Ranking the worst to best Nod and GDI generals and leaders. Who is the worst Nod general and why is it Vega?
Can you do deathstrike and iron side?
4th generals? :v
@@jmthepaperboy7813 the boss generals that were scrapped
There's not much to talk about besides their name and what tech they might have had
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 general deathstrike is very important in the war although I agree iron side dosnt have much know aboit him
@@thegreenster2708 He's not canon, so there isn't going to be a video.
Finally my request is done waiting this i hope notice me :)
So! What now man? Gonna go over to the Red Alert series? I wouldn’t be surprised. ^^
I tried playing this on hard and before 3 minutes even began, U will meet paladins and troopers immediately. plus on 10 minutes i think she does a sneak attack.
I would like to see Shockwave mod lore.For me it is like the continue of C&C Generals.
Question now though, where do we go from here??? Would you do the main mods that the community mainly play???
i really like the Shockwave mod's version of her
iv never seen her use halve this stuff
Hi is There a GLA top General
Like I who is the man name General Mohmar Deathstrike? Do know who is he?
He's not canon so no he won't do a video
