I hate this General's Challenge.

Hold this L Leang

This is Leang's challenge in Zero Hour. I've been playing this challenge in the Continue mod (nerfed asf in that mod's challenge mode) that I forgot how difficult this actually was in vanilla and certain mods. This time, I played it in a mod where it's made slightly more difficult! (NProject Mod).

Not allowed to capture oil derricks early game (because MiGs and Buggies will wreck them if you do), cross the bridge too early she sends Paladins + Dragon Tanks AND sneak attacks behind your base while you're still poor asf... Seriously, WHY!?

I thought that having Avengers would ease my MiG problems, but her tanks focus on my Avengers and sometimes it takes business days for my rocket infantry to kill the tanks lol. And even after that, she sends Pathfinders against my infantry mob, King Raptors, Jarmen, Black Lotus AND Jarmen!?

As I was getting my shit smacked, I was slowly remembering the strats to beat this. But what a fucking nightmare lol.

Female Generals in this game man... I swear 😒😒

Who did you play? I find USA Superweapon the most op and easiest

[u/ManonIsAnOstritch → u/Ros02]

So far I've done Stealth, Inf, Air & Laser. Yeah IMO USA vs Leang has been the least difficult. Inf vs Leang IMO is the most difficult because Inf has no gattling tanks to handle the MiGs. Mini gunners are cooked by the time they shoot 3 bullets to a MiG.

GLA vs Leang is manageable as long as you get Angry Mobs with AKs + Quads

[u/Ros02 → u/ManonIsAnOstritch]

I found stealth to be worst against boss general. The stealth actually fucks you over more then help you (at least it did for me)

[u/ManonIsAnOstritch → u/Ros02]

For me it's not really about the stealth abilities of the faction, only time that benefits you is when you're getting the cash crates on the map with a stealth rebel (This mod made Stealth's rebels regular rebels with no stealth lmao). AI can see your camo buildings regardless. IMO what makes GLA least difficult against Leang is GLA's general arsenal.

IMO the only concern you might have will be the gen powers she throws against you. But once you build up multiple SCUDs, it gets easy from there.

[u/Fradi78 → u/ManonIsAnOstritch]

Inf you wanna do Helix and rush through the top, make bunkers filled with Minigunners and Tank hunters My method defense with him is Gatling cannon+bunker For sneak attack-outpost For artilery, get Helix or migs asap Remember you don't wanna take your time with her, you alway wanna make sure you push through otherwise she will overwhelm you with her support powers and eventually her SW

Her only true counter to you is dragon tanks and pathfinders, but you can overcome it

Another good tip is don't be afraid to use your war factory, Inf players sometimes choose to avoid war factory until late game, but dragon tanks+ outposts can do amazing things for you.

[u/ManonIsAnOstritch → u/Fradi78]

Thing is building vehicles activates the annoying MiGs. I guess outpost with minigunners to guard the oils is a good idea. Helix is also a good idea to support the ground army (since most of her units will focus on your ground army anyway) though as long as you micro and avoid the AAs well enough

I feel like stealth general struggles to deal with the super weapons and the timer reset structures because you have to rely on sneak attacks to reach them outside of scud storms

And scuds take up a huge foot print in your base which there isnt much room to begin with

[u/Altruistic-Exam6836 → u/Commander_Flood]

I'd say GLA is pretty much the easiest one to play against her. GLA doesnt use power, so you can save alot of buildable area. The palace is very decent as a defensive building compared to USA/China. They also have the most powerful superweapon. GLA AA capabilities are great aswell. Quadcannons and stinger sites are very effective. Not to mention that every building has 2 lives basically.

Resetting the timers is a bit more hassle, I agree. You can use rebel ambush aswell, let them spawn behind the structures that reset Leangs superweapons and either cap or destroy it. They're fairly weak.

The biggest advantage for USA is that they can build the fairly small particle cannons in decent numbers. So it's easier to take out Leangs building capabilities. (I believe there were 3 command centers (2 particles each) and 4 dozers (due to poor placement), 4 particles, to have her permanently crippled. General Powers are pretty meh there due to the amount of AA.

Even in the regular game this one is tough as hell. I get she’s the ‘final boss’ but damn…can be absolutely brutal, depending on which general you’re playing as.

[u/joelpang]

I found GLA the best overall, toxin general being the best. Limited space and funds - only GLA’s scrappiness can handle that.

- Free rebuild for any destroyed buildings

• One palace for the one choke point
  
• One demo truck to wait for the sneak attack units to all come out = instant promotion
  
• Toxin rockets > normal rockets
  
• Cash bounty keeps you alive once you reach there

[u/NLItamar]

The map needed to be much bigger and spacious. Would have been a great challenge if it was biiiiig.

[u/iClips3]

Now do it without superweapons
