Single Player mission, in the Zh style Generals challenge.

The AI is an Infantry heavy China to replicate the ZH infantry General rotr style.
Complete with Intro, Outro and general Fai's Taunt's

The AI is quite smart with its attacks tending for different tactics depending on what faction you are.

For example:
as ECA expect nuke cannons, disrupters, mig snipes
as GLA expect dragon tanks, disrupters and ovies.

Map Screenshot

In the archive there is 5 maps, one for each faction.

Warning: It's not easy biggrin.gif


This is an ROTR port of the Zh GC infantry generals fan made mission on CncLabs made by vocux (so all credit for the original map goes to them)

Tried it out as GLA, was a fun game (Only used Red Guards and Flame Cyclers alongside rebel ambush to get through biggrin.gif)

However, I feel as though the AI loses overlords too easily when fighting GLA, as simple placed hijackers can steal an overlord and get away with it no problem. What I would suggest is possibly having Prop Tower overlords get escorted by the Red Guard kind of like a Troop Crawler so it doesn't just get hijacked easily.

If you ever decide to invade Russia, for the love of God, bring some warm clothes. We don't want you to blame the "evil Russian winter" when you get crushed, like everyone else who tried.



I've just lost my entire day and it's your fault, Mr Skittles! tongue.gif
It's damn great. Like you said, it has that ZH flavour, but it's still ROTR. Outstanding work. Keep it up. wink.gif

Prop ovies dont detect stealth but ill work something out.
Trying not to disable certain faction units though its tempting

Maybe having bunkerlords could help keep the inf theme and can't be hijacked.

Bunkerlords are kinda buggy to script properly though. They dont work in a straight forward fashion. ( Script wise)

Fair enough, I'd imagine since they are transports that have specific troops inside them.

Found another bug, primarily with Volunteers, as they don't really select targets properly. When I was doing the GLA play through on the map, when volunteers entered from the North directly to the South into my base, they kind of just walked around and sometimes even stood in place without doing anything. No attacking or anything like that.

I was mainly suggesting the Prop Tower for more aesthetic rather than stealth detection, as I would think it would add on to the sort of patriotic theme of Chinese soldiers that Fai's army has.

One thing I noticed in the challenge was that the AI likes to send hackers to your base a lot. I understand that they disable buildings but similar case to overlords, they don't really have anything to guard them and kind of just go in on their own and get killed. Hackers should be paired up with something else so that way they can actually apply pressure rather than give free vet and generals points biggrin.gif

switch dozers with L Vehicle/ tanks
Gatling Team still doesn't appear often shouldn't they be paired with disruptor teams

can you pair the inf like this manner?

RG & hackers
TH and PT
MGT & DT
Volunteers 5 groups
Nuke team of three

while originally for the inf gen can you atleast add the propaganda airship with the inf waves

im not changeing the priority set for the migs, dozer snipeing is a key part of chinas meta. pluss the ai doesnt understand going arround defences to kill them anyways so just place ur dozers behind something and there fine.

i didnt put many gat teams in due to there range, the disrupters are bad enough.

the problem with the airships is the speed the timeing for getting them to arrive at the right time is a nightmare to set up. even then it doesnt always work right.

the only thin gi would realy concider adding into the attack teams atm is more gat tanks.

Tips on how to win as Russia ?

Especially defending your main supply.

kill the gatling tower and rax on your left asap with just a kodiak and a tunguska, and grab the supplies there, then
- 2 Tesla coils + 1 kashtan tower between dock and the buildings north of your base, add heavy anti air and anti tank units later on, also some artillery.
- 1 kashtan between the river on the right and the dock, add heavy anti air vehicles later
- at least 2 helicopters to the flanks (bridges on the left and right), stock up to 4 on each side later. Use them to react to Nuke cannons, even if you lose them.

I had most trouble using ECA and GLA, because their helos don't work too well in small number against the infs that come from the flanks, but that's just me being too lazy to repeatedly micro against flanking attacks.

Hope that helps.

[edit] Forgot the win Part.

After your defence and primary eco is established, use Golems and Helos to take out the Nuke (use the Helos to kill inf and artillery waves coming down the left flank, and the Golem skill to keep them alive), and build at least 2 Super Weapons to snipe the emeny HQ + dozer, then the Tech (breeder and Propaganda Center), then the production (mainly the factory), all while bolstering your defenses, building your secondary eco and army, and clearing out/capturing the buildings on the island to your left and pushing the flank to the bridge leading north from there. Then, just sweep the city with anti inf and garrison units and some tanks, bring some artillery and flatten the enemy base.

Basically, that's what worked for me so far with any faction. Still, I'm happy to learn about better strategies!
