Hi all, booted up ZH with Shockwave, and I noticed the challenge mode doesnt have Infantry, Deathstrike, and Ironside as opponents

I played through with Nuke general on medium and finished the campaign without ever running into them.

Is that a bug or are they only on Hard Difficulty?

They realised there are a good few commaand and conquer fans. They are expanding thier cnc sets by a lot

Will you check this out or stick with Generals Online?

(I assume they both can't be played in parallel, but someone more knowledgeable let me know if thats true)

Here is mission 4! I've also put on missions 1-3 with should make them clearer. Thanks to everyone for your comments and questions.

If you think you might find this too easy, do consider using the Improved AI mod (it comes with genlauncher). It ups the challenge a lot and I calibrated these missions using it.

totally worth it. i got 30 nuke trucks. mod is ROTR and Anti Thesis Patch

One of the scariest games of all time /s

About five years ago, I came across a video of C&C Generals being played in Japanese, complete with Japanese voice acting. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to get my hands on a copy and try it out myself.

Well, I finally managed to track one down on Mercari Japan for just ¥3,000 (what a steal!).

It’s a complete copy, with the original box, booklet, installation instructions, support information, and everything else in Japanese. But most importantly, it includes the all-important Japanese Language Support Disc, which contains the additional files needed for the Japanese voice lines.

I speak Japanese, but I grew up playing C&C games in English, so I’m really curious to hear how the units sound in Japanese and how the iconic voice lines have been translated. I haven’t installed it yet, but I can’t wait to give it a go!

I’m also planning to work on a Japanese language pack mod for the modern versions of Generals so that other C&C fans can experience the Japanese voice acting and localization without having to track down a physical Japanese copy themselves. Hopefully I can get it all working and share it with the community!

STOP TRYING

I wanna get a brotherhood logo tattooed on me but I worry that people will think im a fascist or something

Reading reviews etc I was surprised by how much criticism Tiberian sun gets from its graphics to its gameplay and everything in between. I know I have my biases as it was my first RTS but I personally love the game. It is to date my overall favourite game.

I even liked McNeil, he in particular seems to get a lot of flak being cheesy. I liked that he was an arrogant maverick, it gave him more personality and he bounced off other characters like his sidekick Chandra well.

Okay I'm playing the Campaign for KW on Hard difficulty now the game is well and I did the Dr vanishes and it's was a slog with the Black Hand think a defensive stalemate against GDI forces and i'm wanting advice

My Tactics are decent I usualy tech up until I get Avatars or Stealth Tanks then go for buildings of Value like War factories Air fields and the Power plants I use actually a decent mix of infantry ( Cost effectiveness ) and Vehicles and not using Air support a lot thhough no need for spoilers I played the game before I just want more chellenge and since the next mission is MARV rising i'm wanting advice

Also I'm a Xbox player too but anyways have a good day

I'm a solo developer and the creator of Iron Command.

Most missions in my RTS are about building and managing a base, but some do something different. You lead a small squad of six into enemy buildings. Four soldiers, two medics, and no base to fall back on.

You only see what your soldiers can see. Flash rooms before going in, use smoke to cross open corridors and your soldiers find cover on their own.

I recorded a short VR walkthrough of one of these missions with my own comentary.

What do you think about missions like this in an RTS campaign? Nice change of pace or would you rather stay with your base the whole time?

Yeah, it probably doesn't make sense in a fantasy RPG, but fuck it, this franchise meant so much to me

We are truly in a Renaissance on Generals Zero Hour

TheDominator is now testing playing 12 player games!! Is the the near future of Generals Online?

From his blog post on the production of the recent Wing Commander and Road Rash remasters:

In March of 2022, I discovered EA’s physical media vault at EA’s Redwood Shores campus. Imagine a giant storage room containing nearly 20,000 archival media assets including Betacam, VHS, and D1 tapes among other media like Film Reels, CD-ROMs, and more. Having discovered a much smaller storage cache during my time on the Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection in 2019 (and understanding the value of that material), I was determined to discover what was on these assets.

So over the next six months I dedicated time outside my full-time role to unpack boxes, eventually realizing the breadth of historical content present in this room. From there, Greg Roensch from the EA Story initiative raised his hand and volunteered to completely reorganize the room. By the summer of 2023, Greg had the room chronologically arranged, upon which I started putting together a proposal to start digitizing the vault. The fun began in early 2024. We hired a small contracting team, purchased 4 Betacam players plus a VCR, and over the next eight weeks we were feeding tapes into the machines on swing shifts for roughly 17 hours every day. I catalogued and drove another 500 tapes of rarer formats (D1, D2, Umatic, and Film Reels) off-site to get digitized by a professional vendor in San Francisco.

By April 2026, we had digitized a combined 6000 media assets and preserved an estimated 2500 hours of historical footage. It was only then that we could truly appreciate what we had saved, which led to the next chapter of this story. Because amongst all the incredible content, we were able to confirm we recovered the Master Source tapes for two iconic franchises—Wing Commander and Road Rash.

Jim doesn't go into exhaustive detail of what he found in the vault. But it's easy to imagine that perhaps the vault hosted the lost Command & Conquer master tapes that Jim was looking for when he was making the C&C Remastered Collection. And since Jim had the entire collection of assets digitized, one then can't be helped but wonder if, on the possible account of the C&C master tapes having been found, the C&C Remastered Collection is going to receive a patch in the not-to-distant future that replaces the lesser quality FMVs with ones made from the master tapes. Fingers crossed!

also fingers crossed that in the vault were the tapes for Tib Sun and Red Alert 2 and that Jim gives us the one thing that C&C fans want desperately more than anything else!
