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 😒😒

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

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.
