*** 01 - Introduction to Generals Walkthrough ***
======================================================
Hello fellow Command and Conquer General players, and welcome to my second
walkthrough. This document is based on the game Command and Conquer Generals
made by the people of Electronic Arts Inc.
To give you my honest opinion, I was rather disappointed at this game as
it did not live to my expectations and lacked originality from past command
and conquer games, but the idea of having a true 3-Dimensional world and great
graphics [though demanding on the computer] makes it all worthwhile to play.
Besides the 3 new sides, which are totally different to each other and have a
variety of advantages and disadvantages, EA has also introduced access to
using upgrades to make your units and structures more powerful or
defensive etc.
You may also notice that Electronic Arts did not put in real-time FMV's in
the game - like they have done with Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. This is
because they believed that these sort of movies would take you out of the
action you are participating in during the game. Using the in-game cinematics
however changes this as you are always in the action and you easily find
out what is going on in the mission to come!
In this guide, you will find helpful information based on all three sides so
come in and have a look to see if there is anything for you in here. :)
Also, if you are interested in giving any feedback or submissions feel free
to do so. There is more information about this towards the end of this
document.
I hope you enjoy the guide! :)
======================================================
*** 02 - Recent Update News ***
======================================================
[Version 1.00]
About time I update this guide :P
Sorry to everyone for any inconvenience. One reason of the delayed update
of this guide is the fact my computer kept stuffing up - which is now
fixed - the last reason being because of school work.
From now though - I dont think that it would take as long for me to update
the guide again :P
There is some bad news though - I have not done the last 2 missions of
the GLA walkthrough because after a few days typing the 5th mission is when
my computer stuffed up and I have to reinstall all my games and I did not
copy my save files, so I have to do it all again just to get to the last
few levels - but this will waste my time as I am publishing another walkthrough
and doing some other tasks on the computer so if anyone wants to contribute
a walkthrough for the last 2 GLA, it would be appreciated greatly, but for
now, I cannot really do much about it...
I would like to thank the people for contributing to this guide greatly!
Anyway, I want to make this news update short - so to tell anyone interested
in my walkthroughs [quite a few people are :)] and some of which asking what
my next walkthrough 'project' is - I have started developing a walkthrough
for the upcoming game - "Enter The Matrix" which will be released some time
around May 15th. An offical strategy guide has been made for it
which will be released on May 15th as well but if you do not want to spend
your money for a book, then come to the walkthrough that I'll make and I hope
it can help you out :)
But for now we will just have to wait .....
Also, last thing - I am very impressed at the submitters tips for this
walkthrough by the way, check them out!
Thanks!
DarkTim

Thanks to the following people for contributing in some way towards my guide.
Also for security reasons, I have deicided to put full names with the last
name with an initial instead of the whole name unless a nickname of some
sort has been provided or you do not mind having your full name being
published into the guide....
Firstly, special thanks to two people for helping edit and translating my
walkthrough. They are:
William.B - For editing and spell checking some of my walkthrough. I
have spell checked it myself before the first release of
this guide, but I was in kind of a rush to release this
guide so this very helpful person has come by to 'erase'
any of those stupid errors I made, so therefore he can
make my guide alot more useful that what it already was :)
This guy is also responsible for submitting in a few very
detailed submissions related for tips towards the game.
Emanuela.C - This person - besides asking me for permission to post an
italian translated version of this guide on a website, was
the one who translated it to italian in the first place
making it easier to read for some people out there who are
italian and have trouble understanding the english language.

*******************************************************************************
For every game - you should get ready - so here is an outline of some basic
information needed towards the game.
======================================================
*** 01 - Story to Command and Conquer Generals ***
======================================================
Here is the given story:
The game is set 20 years into the future.
The threat was more deadly than anyone had imagined.
While the United States of America intercepted the missile over the ocean -
an explosion the size of Texas bloomed over the Atlantic like some amorphous
flower - the thwarted terrorist attack would nonetheless reset the world
stage. The bio-terror agent developed by the Global Liberation Army had the
potential to wipe out hundreds of millions of people across the globe.
As the 21st century matures, the superpowers are not quite so super anymore.
The three main players on the world stage - the United States of
America, China and the political terror organisation known as the Global
Liberation Army - are each vying to bring it's own vision of truth and
stability to the world, each side prepared to fight in it's own way and for
it's own ideals. As China tries to push the Global Liberation Army out of
its borders and the United States gears up for police action halfway across
the globe, the GLA - the most efficient and slippery terrorist organisation
ever seen - entrenches itself for the final conflict it has anticipated for
millennia. It's a conflict that will determine the course of history to
come ... a history not fussed over by bespectacled professors but hammered
out by men of courage and cunning on the battlefield - by the generals.
======================================================
*** 02 - Minimum and Recommended PC Requirements ***
======================================================
Here are some basic requirements for the game. Take into account though
that the minimum requirements are not actually the lowest requirements
you need to play the game - as I have seen computers with lower speed
than the minimum, run this game at good speeds at low detail.
[Minimum Requirements]
- Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium (ME) and Windows XP.
- 800 MHz Intel Pentium III Processor or AMD Athlon Processor.
- 128MB RAM.
- 8x CD/DVD-Rom.
- 1.8 GB free hard disk space plus space for saved games, Windows
swap-file, and DirectX 8.1.
- 32 MB AGP video card using the Nvidia GeForce 2, ATI Radeon 7500, or a
more recent chipset with DirectX 8.1 compatible driver.
- DirectX 8.1 compatible PCI 16-bit sound card.
- Keyboard, Mouse.
[Recommended Requirements]
- 1.8 GHz or faster Intel Pentium IV or AMD Athlon processor.
- 256MB RAM or more.
- Nvidia GeForce 3 or better Direct3D capable video card.
- - - - -
I also decided to put in the multiplayer requirements that are found in the
manual, so if you ever to decide to play on the internet, try to have
as it says below or else you might experience slow game play or it might not
work at all:
[Multiplayer Requirements]
- 256MB RAM for three to eight player games.
- One set of game discs per player. Both discs cannot be used
simultaneously for multiplayer games.
- Internet (2-4 players): 56kbps or faster direct internet connection.
- Internet (5-8 players): Cable, DSL, or a faster direct internet
connection.
- Network (2-8 players): TCP/IP compliant network.
======================================================
*** 03 - C&C Generals Main Menu Options ***
======================================================
I have decided to roll through the options section of the main menu just
in case any of you people don't know what some of the options available
are for. Some are pretty straight forward.
Scroll Speed: This determines the overall speed of the mouse while
playing. Putting it lower will make the cursor move slower
while putting it higher makes it move a lot faster.
Personally, I like to put mine just above the half way point
for the best comfort during game play :).
- - - Audio options - - -
Music : Changes volume of the games music.
Sound FX : Changes volume of sound effects throughout the game.
Voice : Changes the volume of peoples voices during game play.
- - - Display Options - - -
Resolution : Determines the resolution of the game play. The higher the
resolution, the sharper the objects will appear. This
affects the game overall so make sure you have a good 3D
card if adjusting it at the highest level or you will
definitely experience constant slowdowns.
The following can be chosen :
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1152 x 864
1280 x 960
Brightness : Lowering the brightness will make the game screen darker
while sliding it up will make it brighter. Varies depending
by the type of monitor you are using.
Detail : If the detail is higher - then you will get the best
experience out of the game, but the disadvantage of this is
that a fast computer is needed to make it run at optimum
performance.
The following can be chosen :
Low
Medium
High
Custom
- - - Custom Detail Options - - -
3D Shadows : This toggles showing the dynamic 3D shadows that
units and buildings have in the game.
2D Shadows : This toggles showing 2D shadows in the game.
Cloud Shadows : This toggles the appearance of moving cloud
shadows on the ground in the game.
Extra Ground : This toggles the appearance of detailed lighting
Lighting on the ground in the game.
Smooth Water : This toggles smooth water borders along the shores
Borders in the game.
Behind Building : This toggles the silhouettes of any units that are
standing or moving behind structures.
Show Props : This toggles the appearance of trees and shrubs that
are scattered throughout the various levels in the
game.
Extra Animations : This toggles extra effects like tree-swaying motions
in the game.
Disable Dynamic : This toggles the automatic adjustment of the game's
LOD detail level. Leave this unchecked for optimum
performance.
Texture Resolution : Moving the slider to the left will reduce the
Slider visual clarity of the textures in the game, but it
will also improve performance.
Particle Cap : Moving the slider to the left will reduce the
Slider amount of particle effects, like explosions and
dust clouds, that appear in the game, but it will
also improve performance.
======================================================
*** 04 - End Mission Scoring ***
======================================================
When you complete, fail or exit a mission half-way through - the end of
mission scoring screen will come up giving you statistics of each side
that participated in the game. They are as they follow:
Units Created - The amount of units that have been constructed
in the mission. These include infantry, tanks and
air units.
Units Lost - The amount of total units that have been killed in
action during the mission.
Units Destroyed - The amount of enemy units that have been
successfully destroyed by another team.
Buildings - The number of structures that have been constructed.
Constructed
Buildings Lost - The number of structures that have been destroyed by
hostile fire or friendly fire.
Buildings - The amount of enemy structures that have been
Destroyed destroyed by the team.
Supplies - The total amount of supplies that have been
Collected collected in the mission. It adds up so it shows you
how much you would of made without spending anything
at all.
======================================================
*** 05 - Tips 'n' Hints ***
======================================================
I will give only a few tips to help you in the game. These might not be
the best tips but I will always allow submissions from other people that I
will add towards here. I have picked some of these tips up while playing
the game.
- If you are using China to play with, when using the Dragon Tanks, be careful
not to make any other of your units cross the path of fire they spray
especially when using flame wall attack - all dragon tanks are resistant
to its own fire attacks but units like Battlemasters and other infantry
will get fried to a crisp eventually as these units do not have 'fire proof'
armour.
- Whenever you have the chance to do so, place any infantry you have into
nearby buildings to garrison as defense, instead of building additional
structures like Patriots and bunkers as this will cost more and will use
more power.
- It is best to have a mix of infantry say when you put them into a building
which can fit 10 units. Put around 3 riflemen and the rest as rocket troops.
This is handy if you verse both USA and GLA - as the USA use infantry a lot
and the GLA use toxin tractors often.
- If you see a toxin tractor or flame thrower heading towards a garrisoned
building of yours and cannot stop it, tell your units to evacuate the
structure straight away as these two armoured units have to just fire once
at the building your units are in to make them die instantly.
- Each side has its own advantages and disadvantages so if you only want to
use one side to get use to, try all 3 to see which side fits you best. To
be honest, I actually use all 3 sides as I know all the different sorts
of special things the units can do and different attack patterns that
I can use in different situations. This is because I have been playing the
game a lot recently due to making this guide.
If you would like to submit any tips, then email me on the dress mentioned
up the top :) You will be credited for your small part of work.
======================================================
*** 06 - Submitters Tips 'n' Hints ***
======================================================
This rather huge tip has been submitted by "William.C"
[CHINA]
- The Hacker "Farm" -
Creating a hacker farm is a very lucrative way to increase funds when
playing as the Chinese. Like any farm, it's fairly pricy to get
started, but pays for itself in minimal time and then you reap large
amounts of money. Once your base defenses and a formidable offense have
been created, you may notice that your funds begin to linger as the supply
docks run low.
At a mere 5 each, a hacker can generate limitless income. Depending
on your computer's performance, a novice hacker with an Internet
connection can gross in about 6 seconds.
1H = 5$/6 sec
That being said, 10 Hackers fresh out of your barracks can generate
in 6 seconds.
10H = /6 seconds = .333 per second
At this rate, it takes a short 75 seconds to pay for a new hacker.
More hackers can be added to the "farm," but after a while, the hackers
begin to gain experience, attaining as a veteran, as an elite, and
as a heroic.
Hence, if your hacker farm is started soon enough to reap the full
benefits, 10 hackers attaining heroic level reaps the following gross
yield:
10H = 0/6 seconds = .666 per second
At this rate, these ten lowly hackers can pay for a new Battlemaster or
Gatling tank in 48 seconds, and can double the size of your hacker farm
in six minutes and 15 seconds (actual time, not game time). Infinite
cash.
Now, along with any other "investment" in C&CG, you'll want adequate
protection. Consider adding a Propoganda tower and a couple Gatling Gun
Turrets to keep your hacker farm company. As with any piece of real
estate, location is important, so make sure your hacker farm is not going
to interfere with other players on your map, discretely tucked away in
some corner behind your base.
And remember, a happy hacker is a productive hacker :-D
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[USA]
- Law of Distributed Chinooks -
Any general with common sense builds the supply center adjacent to the
dock or stack of supplies that is to be delivered to base. Regardless
of civilization, this minimizes delivery time to and from your base to
the dock. However, unlike the Chinese or the GLA, the U.S. Chinook
helicopters *MAY NOT* use multiple units to harvest from the same source.
The first part of the Law of Distributed Chinooks states that for a
large supply dock, *2* Chinook helicopters is the appropriate number, one
to wait while the other loads up, and they switch whent copter 1 is
dropping off supplies. Any more than this in the sequence will be wasted.
The second part of The Law of Distributed Chinooks states that more
multiple supply piles, *1* and only *1* Chinook should be assigned per
pile. These supply piles are usually assigned starting values of 50.
Suppose that there are three such piles in a particular area. Building
two extra helicopters to accompany the free one that comes with the
supply center is appropriate, as long as routes are defined.
If all three Chinooks were selected and told to harvest from the same
pile, it is a violation of the first part of The Law of Distributed
Chinooks. Conversely, a better strategy would be to distribute each
helicopter to a separate supply pile, increasing your yield per trip from
0 (where the other two are waiting) to 00 in the same interval of
time. At this rate the following is true:
3(50)/3(600) = 6.25 trips, so by the 7th trip (about two minutes, 30
seconds actual time), all three supply piles are depleted and you have
aquired the full 250 before another player gets to the supplies.
Remember to sell your supply centers when they are no longer needed to
reduce power load and the need for protection.
======================================================
Submitted by "Sean.C"
A good strategy when using the USA against GLA.
Use the pathfinder to snipe the three stinger soldiers in the
stinger nest then send in commanches to take out the nest
while nobody is in it - the people come back, but if your
choppers are waiting nearby, they will not get back in time to defend the
nest.
======================================================
Submitted by "Atma.D"
-Blitzkrieg attack-
Start by using USA, and then get airfield as quick as possible and
start building those comanches !!, then attack your opponent
flank (his economy backbone) then he'll start to ruin :)
This will also prevent enemy ground unit rush.
======================================================
Submitted by "Switch"
Chinese Nuclear Missile combined with their artillery support
(level 2/level 3) can obliterate any superweapon structure.
The GLA are quite helpless here, only having the SCUD storm, while
the USA can simply fire a Particle Cannon and drop their Fuel Bomb or
send in the A10s - any combination of the three will do just
fine (the USA might also decide to sacrifice a few bombers if
the destruction the superweapon is a must - try a few Auroras.
The Rangers can flashbang the GLA Missile Sites to kill
those annoying rocket troopers inside, basically leaving the
structure useless.
The USA Laser Missile Upgrade seems to affect the missile barrage of
the USA Comanches. [Still to be confirmed]
There is a strategy that works best with the GLA Rocket Buggies: hit'n'run.
======================================================
Submitted by "Danny"
Always build on higher grounds, Your units will be able to fire before
the enemy on the ground can fire. Remember thought, Colonel Burton of the
USA can climb up and down mountains.
Look for 'Choke Points'. When you build your base look for narrow alley ways.
If your enemy is launching a large rush, then deploy your units at one end of
the choke point. The enemy drives in and then trys to turn back, but it
cant because of the infantry/tanks behind. Large scale assualts can easily
be destryed this way.
Always build your structures away from each other. If they are close they
can easily be destroyed quickly by splash damage from super weapons etc.
If you are in, for example, the bottom right hand corner of the map - Always
build your more expenisve structures towards the end of the map. The enemy
will only be able to get them by using superweapons.
When collecting supplies from the supply piles. Rotate the supply centre so
that the entarce is right up against the pile. The units collecting the
cash wont have to move as much
If you are on the offense you have the better chance of winning. Dont waste
too much money on base defenses, instead build tanks and units to defend
your base. As these are mobile you can also use them to attack.
======================================================
Submitted by "David.S"
*Use Mobile Units Instead of Stationary Defences*
Structures like the Patriot Missle Defence System,
the Gattling Cannon, and the Stinger Site, should be
used sparingly. This is because smart enemies will
either flank them, or take them out with artillery.
Instead, use mobile units. They can be moved (hence
the adjective "mobile"), so if the enemy tries to
attack your base from the side you can just move your
units to engage them.
*The Power of Rocket-Armed Infantry*
The 0 "man with a missle" can go a long way.
When 5 are garrisoned into a building, they can easily
take out a group of 3-5 tanks. When 10 are placed into
a building, their power to stop tanks and other
vehicles is unmatched. The Rocket Soldier's only
weakness is that they can be easily killed. If there
are no buildings around, just line some tanks in front
of them so they wont get run over. The USA's rocket
soldiers are especcially useful, due to their "laser
lock" ability.
*Spending Money*
Unless you're saving your money up for something,
SPEND IT! Money unspent means almost nothing in
battle. You'd be suprised at how many people, when in
the heat of battle, can just let their money pile up
without them realising it. Even if you think your army
is big enough... you never know. So keep popping out
tanks, infantry, air-crafts etc. so that if the enemy
unleashes a suprise attack, you'll be more ready for
it. Also, when possible in the tech tree, make
multiple Hackers, Supply Drops, and/or Black Markets.
This is because the more you have, the more money will
be falling into your hands. These things pay for
themselves, so its wise to get them as early as
economically possible, because when the map's supplies
are depleted, and huge battles are fought over the
final 00 at supply docks, these assets will be your
best friend.
*Simple -Yet Effective- "The Two Line Battle Plan"*
I often use this strategy myself because of its
simplistic effectiveness/ effective simplicity. The
strategy can be used with all three armies, making it
even better. Like the name suggests, the strategy
requires two lines of units. In the front line, have a
healty mix of anti-tank, anti-infantry, and
anti-aircraft vehicles. Your front line should be thin
(3 lines at most), but powerfull-- so this would be
the part where you would bring in your upgraded
Mauraders, your Overlords, your Paladins and not to
mention any heroic or elite units you might have. In
the rear line, have artillery (seige weapons). Advance
the two lines parralell to the enemy's base, and move
in just close enough so that your artillry can start
eating away at your enemy's structures. DO NOT ALLOW
THE ARTILLERY TO CROSS THE FRONT LINE. The front line
is in front for a reason...to engage your enemies
units. Naturally when you start to waste away at your
enemie's structures with your artillery, they're going
to retaliate. Its the front line's job to protect the
artillery. DO NOT LET THE FRONT LINE STRAY AWAY THE
ARTILLERY. Its imprerative that you keep the artillery
alive, so let your enemy come out of its base and into
your attack force. If you think that the enemy will
flank you to get to your artillery, feel free to add a
third line behind the artillery and some sidelines to
completely surround your artillery with units. The
thrid line can be replaced with Comanches if you are
playing as the USA. Anyways, when you have destroyed
everything in range, move the lines up little by
little until you come into range of another building.
Destroy anything else within range and repeat. Keep
moving the lines up and defending the artillery until
your opponents base has been neutralized. As far as
numbers go ALWAYS HAVE MORE IN THE FRONT LINE THAN IN
THE SECOND. Play around with the numbers too, to see
if you have a combination that suits your playing
style better. The formation command (ctrl+f), and the
group command (ctrl+ number 1 through 0) are extremely
helpful in this battle plan.
*Superweapons Aren't That Super*
Dont use superweapons like alone, they're there to
complement the your army, they're not an army by
itself. The same thing goes for generals promotions;
using an artillery barrage, or a fuel bomb every "N"
minutes isn't going to win a war. Using superweapons
and generals promotions, however, is pretty effective.
*Get Out of Your Base*
As soon as you can, get out and counquer the map.
If you can get your units out on the map, then there
are several advantages:
-Most of the fighting will be done away from your base
-Oil rigs and other supplemental buildings will be
easier to capture
-Your opponent, knowing that you have units all over
the map, will get pressured making him/her more likely
to make a desperate or stupid move
-You might detect a suprise attack/ ambush before it
happens
-You will have access to more supply docks/ Your
opponent will have access to less supply docks
-Being that you're already outside your base, your
units can get to and attack your opponent's base
faster
*Rock Paper Scissors*
In C&C:Generals, certin units are better at
attacking certain things, while certain units are
weaker to "this" unit than "that" unit, which is why
when you are at war with a well rounded opponent who
has anti-everything units/structures, compose a "Rock
Paper Scissors" attack group. For example, if you were
China Vs. China, and your enemy had Gattling Cannons,
Battlemasters, Gattling Tanks, and maybe some Tank
Hunters, the best way to fight against that is to find
the weakness of his units. Use Inferno Cannons against
the Gattling cannons, Tank Hunters/Battlemasters
angainst his battlemasters, Battlemasters against his
Gattling Tanks, and Gattling/Dragon Tanks against any
foot-soldiers he may have. This "paper covers rock",
"scissors cuts paper" tid bit is good against
opponents who just send their units in as a whole,
without a regard to who is effective against who.
*Teamwork*
When engaging enemy units with your own, send all
of your units of a certain type to attack the same
enemy unit (or if he sends in all vehicles, or all
infantry, then in wont matter). Sending in your units
to attack as one is really effective in taking out
your enemy faster than they can they can take out you.
This is probably the easiest and most basic strategy
out there that will kill you enemy faster and reduce
your casualties.

[Not really of a tip but I liked his opinions]
When playing as the Chinese, I have found it best to use a small handful of
infantry on the back of an overlord and keep it behind a larger force of
several basic tanks and 2-3 gatling tanks. That way, the large force of
tanks and gatling tanks will remove any opposition you come against, short
of a superweapon, and you can follow up with the infantry and take over
any buildings you please.
You might ask why I don"t use overlords instead of basic tanks, there are a
few basic reasons:
1) Too costly
2) They are too slow, I find that the gatling tanks end up very far
ahead and get slaughtered by a few basic tanks.
3) However, if you can afford to get 6 or more overlords, make one a
bunker overlord and the rest gatling overlords (which, by far, are
the best all around weapon IMO)

It is possible to edit the INI.BIG file in the game directory using a
hex-editor do not change the length of the file or the game will not boot
again. Just overwrite the text you need. Search for "buildcost" and over
write it like
"buildcost=2000"orig.
"buildcost=0000"faked.
Do not delete anything. If you done it write it will cost nothing to bulid.

The training mission is a good thing to play to get use to the American
units, which is a good side to use for beginners. It is a very simplistic
mission so you won't need to save it and can be done with no fuss at all!
======================================================
- - - Training Mission - - -
======================================================
Mazar, De-Militarized Zone
Operation : Silent Dawn
- GLA controls a chemical weapons plant.
- Destroy the chemical weapons plant.
- Eliminate the threat.
Generals Promotions : [1 Star General Ranking]
- Paladin
Constructible Vehicles : - Worker
- Ranger
- Crusader
- Humvee
- Paladin
Constructible Structures : - War Factory
[Liberate the American Base]
At the start of the mission, you start off with a rather small group of
paratroopers to which you must aid towards the construction dozer to the
east of the start. Head downwards to where the Technical is near all
the barrels and shoot the barrels to destroy it quicker.
Behind that group of enemies - there are about 4 Humvees - put
your guys inside them and head towards where the stinger site is. Shoot the
barrels again for a quick result. Destroy any other Technical units that
come in the way. After destroying the first stinger site, head towards the
barracks and touch it to liberate it. Then an air strike will clear off the
area of vehicles ahead, so kill any other remaining infantry in this area to
liberate the power plant, supply centre and construction yard.
Once you capture the barracks, you will receive 10000 dollars to spend new
units on. Build some rangers and put them into the remaining Humvess for
protection.
[Use a Dozer to construct a War Factory]
Once liberating the whole base, use the dozer to build a war factory - this
will be the place for constructing armoured ground units.
[Destroy GLA Bioweapons Factory]
Now after the second cutscene, build about 1 Crusader and 2 Humvees. For each
Humvee, build 5 Rangers each, 10 Rangers altogether, and then go right from
your base towards the objective. If you want to - build some Paladins
by going to the General"s experience menu and spend the one point on the
Paladin Upgrade.
Once you build 1 additional Crusader or Paladin, group it with the
first 4 tanks and Humvees and make all of them group 1. Send them to the
east of the base - following the road. Rescue the pilots and put them in
the Humvees or tanks to make them get a higher rank hence making them
more powerful.
While moving on, build battle drones for all your vehicles. Head towards
the bridge where there might be a few Technicals and a stinger site
guarding it. Destroy them and move on. A third cutscene will start shortly
after destroying the stinger site, destroying the guarding tanks.
Kill any Technicals and infantry you get attacked by - a plane full of
rocket troops will pass to help you destroy remaining troops in the
town - then move upwards the map - heading closer towards the main base
after completing this part. There is another stinger site and few
Technicals to destroy, then keep going north and there should be another
few stinger sites as well as tunnel networks. Shoot the barrels
surrounding the stinger sites to destroy them - then concentrate
mainly destroying any tanks or Technicals that pop up and head straight
up towards the base and destroy the bio weapons factory to complete the
training mission. You will also receive some more paratroopers as back
up to help you.
As a note, if you"re a stickler for losing units, you may want to clear the
paratroopers from the area on the top of the plateau that the chemical plant
is on, as the explosion will kill them in very little time.

*** 01 - Introduction to United States of America ***
======================================================
The United States are a very dominant and powerful side in the game of
Generals. They are probably the best side to use if you are a beginner as
the firepower of the units and strength of the structures are very formidable.
The other advantage about America is that there is the biggest variety of
vehicles and other units to choose from out of all three sides. They
have the tendency to play both roles of defending and attacking. The super
weapon which is the particle cannon is not wide spread but is very powerful
when used at the right time and place - this is where the fuel bomb comes in
handy to wipe out anything else in a big radius!! The following part of this
section will tell you information on the structures and units of the USA.
======================================================
*** 02 - USA Structures ***
======================================================
- - - Command Centre - - -
Cost : 2000
Power Req. : Takes 0
Options : Spy Satellite
Paratroopers
A10 Strike
Fuel Bomb
Spy Drone
Builds : Construction Dozer
Info : This is the work-house of all the operations and commands of the
United States of America's Military Force. Important to keep intact
if holding other superweapons and special attacks, so you are able to
use them. You can also build additional dozers to build multiple
structures at the same time.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Cold Fusion Reactor - - -
Cost : 800
Power Req. : Supplies 5 (10 when upgraded)
Upgrade : Control Rods
Info : This is the power plant required to build to get access in building
other important structures. When upgraded to control rods, you will get
supplied double power. Not normally as efficient as the Chinese
Nuclear Reactors.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Supply Centre - - -
Cost : 2000
Power Req. : 1
Builds : Chinook Transport Helicopter
Info : The most common way for the United States to earn money. Also
must be built to construct additional important structures, such
as the War Factory. You will receive 0 from each Chinook
payload drop-off.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Barracks - - -
Cost : 600
Power Req. : 0
Upgrade : Capture Building
Flashbang
Builds : Ranger
Missile Defender
Pathfinder
Colonel Burton
Info : The main structure needed to build infantry units for the US.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - War Factory - - -
Cost : 2000
Power Req. : Takes 1
Upgrade : TOW Missile
Builds : Crusader
Humvee
Ambulance
Paladin

Info : Structure that produced armoured ground units for the US.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Airfield - - -
Cost : 1000
Power Req. : 1
Upgrade : Rocket Pods
Laser Missiles
Builds : Raptor
Comanche
Stealth Fighter
Aurora Bomber
Info : Constructs air units for the United States. Provides best variety
in air superiority roles (Air-to-Air, Air-to-Surface, Anti-tank,
Anti-infantry, etc.). The upgrades provided here are worthwhile,
increasing the damage potential for your aircraft.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Supply Drop Zone - - -
Cost : 2500
Power Req. : 4
Info : Secondary source of income for the United States. Supply drops
occur regularly at 2 minute intervals, grossing about 00 each.
While creating a steady flow of income, they can strain your power
plants, so keep an eye on your reserves. Vulnerable structure;
should be placed away from front line of base to prevent problems.
When participating in a major battle, build around 30 of these to
get maximum profits possible. This makes constructing things so
much easier. NOTE: Cargo planes that are shot down after supplies
are dropped off do NOT count in your 'Units Lost' total at the end
of the game.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Strategy Centre - - -
Cost : 2500
Power Req. : 2
Options : Bombardment
Search and Destroy
Hold the Line
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Composite Armour
Drone Armour
Info : United State"s general upgrade building. Shifts unit bonuses
depending on strategy selected. The Bombardment strategy will increase
the damage potential of all units, while the Hold the Line strategy
gives all units additional armour. Lastly, Search and Destroy will
increase the weapon range of all units - best to use for long range
vehicles.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Detention Camp - - -
Cost : 1000
Power Req. : 0
Options : Intelligence
Info : A useful structure to have, although not required. The Detention
Camp allows you to see every unit on the map (including stealth
units) for about 30 seconds once every two minutes. Requiring no
power, it may be advisable to create multiple Camps, space and
money providing. Very useful to use before planning a major
attack.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Patriot Missile Defense System - - -
Cost : 1000
Power Req. : 3
Info : Excellent weapon for static defense purposes, the Patriot is one
of the most lethal defense weapons out of all 3 sides. Can engage
air and ground units easily from a medium range. Built-in ability
to transmit target location data to other Patriot Missile sites.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Particle Cannon - - -
Cost : 5000
Power Req. : 10
Options : Particle Cannon
Info : This is the primary superweapon of the United States. The weapon
itself is not as directly comparable to the power of the Nuclear
Missile or SCUD Storm, but has many tactical advantages. The
Particle Cannon has pinpoint accuracy allowing you to target a
single structure and leave adjacent ones intact (For example, may
be used to destroy static defenses to send main strike force in
to capture buildings and technologies). Devastating against units,
may require two to destroy Command Centers or other Superweapons.
Four minute countdown timer.
======================================================
*** 03 - USA Units ***
======================================================
- - - Construction Dozer - - -
Cost : 1000
Built : Construction Yard
Info : These are the main vehicles to get you started. Without these
it is impossible to survive. They have no weapons but can create
anything which you have access to.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Supply Chinook - - -
Cost : 1200
Holds : 5 Units
Built : Supply Centre
Info : These are used for supply and transportation reasons only. They
also hold no weaponry and can hold armoured vehicles. All ground
units can be placed into the chinook helicopter for transportation.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Cost : 225
Strong : Infantry
Weak : Light Vehicles
Options : Capture Building
Flashbang
Machine Gun
Upgrade : Capture Building
Advanced Training
Flashbang
Weapon : Machine Gun/Assault Rifle
Flashbang
Built : Barracks
Info : The primary foot unit of the USA, these tend to be very weak
individually or in small groups, but are very useful in bigger groups.
Home skills like capture building and flashbangs.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Missile Defender - - -
Cost : 300
Strong : Tanks, Aircraft
Weak : Infantry
Options : Laser Designator
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Weapon : LAW Rocket Launcher
Built : Barracks
Info : Useful when grouped with rangers to make a deadly force, these are
extremely useful when it comes to killing armoured units. Very
inaccurate and weak towards infantry so be careful not to encounter
the enemy infantry unless you have some rangers with you.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Pathfinder - - -
Cost : 600
Strong : Infantry
Weak : Light Vehicles, Scouts
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Weapon : Sniper Rifle
Built : Barracks
Info : Only can be accessed when 'purchased' from the generals experience
menu, these covert units are very good to use in missions were you
would like to suprise the enemy or do a hit and run moves. These
units are also cloaked when not shooting, but this makes them more
easier to position around with instead of the typical ranger.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Colonel Burton - - -
Cost : 1500
Strong : Infantry
Weak : Scouts
Options : Knife Attack
Timed Demolition Charge
Remote Demolition Charge
Detonate Remote Charge
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Weapon : Machine Gun/Assault Rifle
Demolition Charges
Knife
Built : Barracks
Info : The special infantry unit built for the USA, this unit is cloaked
when not shooting. Good to use as a leading unit with a group of
Pathfinders. This guy also has a variety of different things to choose
from, making him ideal for all sorts of situations in which when you
use ground units.

Cost : 900
Strong : Vehicles, Buildings
Weak : Aircraft, Rocket Infantry
Options : Battle Drone
Scout Drone
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Battle Drone
Scout Drone
Composite Armour
Weapon : Tank Turret
Built : War Factory
Info : One out of the two simple units in the war factory - the Crusader
is also a good unit to use in big groups. Just like the Missile
Defender, the Crusader tank is not very good against
infantry/rocket troops so put some Humvees with a group of these
tanks.

Upgrade : Advanced Training
Battle Drone
Scout Drone
Composite Armour
Weapon : Laser Designated Tank Turret
Built : War Factory
Info : Uses a laser designator to shoot at it's target - making it more
accurate and deadly than the crusader tank. A good tank to use for
all-round purposes but first must be 'purchased' from the generals
experience menu.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Options : Battle Drone
Scout Drone
Upgrade : TOW Missile
Advanced Training
Battle Drone
Scout Drone
Weapon : Machine Gun Turret
TOW Missile Turret
Built : War Factory
Info : If you consider building these weak but useful armoured
units, build a group of these and upgrade it so it holds the
TOW missile turret - then build a battle drone - hence this will
make a group of these vehicles alot more better to use.
Can carry five foot units for easy transportation.

- - - Ambulance - - -
Cost : 600
Holds : 3 units
Options : Battle Drone
Scout Drone
Clear Toxins
Upgrade : Battle Drone
Scout Drone
Weapon : Healing/Toxin Turret
Built : War Factory
Info : A vehicle that I would guess that not many players usually
build, it is only useful really for healing groups of infantry
at once. It also boosts the healing level when near certain units.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Tomahawk - - -
Cost : 1200
Strong : Base Defences
Weak : Tanks, Aircraft, Light Vehicles
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Battle Drone
Scout Drone
Weapon : Tomahawk Missile
Built : War Factory
Info : A great vehicle to use for long range combat purposes. Very weak
virtually against anything in short range, you should have a tank of
some sort at least defending on one these if you want it to survive.
It is a powerful weapon to be used in groups. Vunerable to air units
as it cannot shoot down these units.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Raptor Fighter Jet - - -
Cost : 1400
Strong : Aircraft, Tanks, Light Vehicles
Weak : Rocket Infantry, Anti Air Defences
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Laser Missiles
Weapon : Missiles
Built : Airfield
Info : A fighter which is generally purchased at the beginning of the
game is in fact the only one out of the other jets to destroy any
other enemy airbourne aircraft.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Comanche Stealth Helicopter - - -
Cost : 1500
Strong : Tank, Light Vehicles, Infantry
Weak : Rocket Infantry, Anti Air Defences
Options : Rocket Pods
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Rocket Pods
Weapon : Missiles
Rockets
Chaingun
Built : Airfield
Info : Well actually it is not stealth in the game, but is meant to be!
A very agile and manauverable helicopter, this is great to use with
groups, as these when they get to 3 star rank are virtually
unstoppable. These choopers are packed full of weapons and are
ready to use them. I even use these to destroy the stinger sites
the GLA use, just send a few of them over, use the rocket pods
and they'll destroy it in a matter of no time! The best and
excellent choice when going for a hit and run attack or just
when you want to eliminate the competition quickly :P
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter - - -
Cost : 1600
Strong : Enemy Base Defences
Weak : Enemy Fighters
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Laser Missiles
Weapon : Laser Guided Bombs
Built : Airfield
Info : Another great choice to build during a game. It acts just like
the aurora bomber except for that it does not go as fast but is
cloaked when not attacking. Powerful to use in groups, can
destroy a structure like a superweapon or construction yard in
one go with at least 4 or 5 of these going at once.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Aurora Bomber - - -
Cost : 2500
Strong : Buildings
Weak : Buildings
Upgrade : Advanced Training
Weapon : Bombs
Built : Airfield
Info : A very expensive air unit to purchase, consider using these later
on a match when you have the proper amount of money to build a group
of these. These are great to use to quickly destroy any enemy super
weapons and the fact that it travels at the speed of sound to when
it reaches it's target is an added bonus. The most severe drawback
is it's poor armour and loses 50% of it's speed after it has launched
it's bombs - making it extremely vunerable for the enemies to shoot
down.

Deployed : Particle Cannon Structure
Countdown : 4:00 Minutes
Info : Emits a powerful electric beam directed from a satellite
up in space. Does not have a big spread effect but can be directed
to move in other directions. The targetted area in which the beam
will hit will completely incinerate any unit that passes it. Can
destroy strcutures easily but might require 2 to destroy heavy
armoured buildings. The beam lasts for about 30 seconds before
vanishing.

Deployed : Construction Yard
Countdown : 6:00 Minutes
Info : A very powerful bomb, dropped of by a cargo plane. Once
dropped, splits the shell half way from impact and splashes
a big wave of fuel around the designated area. About 3 seconds
later, the ignition sticks explode creating a chain reaction
about twice the size of a nuclear bomb. Very devastating in
the middle of the targetted area but is considerably weaker
furthur away from the explosion.

Info : A very good attack to use when trying to destroy a structure
as quick as possible, these release a certain amount of A10
Thunderbolt planes which will swoop towards it's target and shoot
it's very powerful cannons and a barrage of missiles towards the
designated area. It's shockwaves created by the missiles will
also obliterate anything within it's radius.

After the starting cutscene, you will end up with a collection of tanks
and about 4 humvees. Send the 4 humvees back to the base and build 20 rocket
troops. After doing this, tell the humvees to return with the rest of the
tanks. Group your tanks as group 1 and humvees as group 2.
Proceed forward towards the town, destroy the several tanks guarding the
entry then move forward until a cutscene showing SCUD's being launched into
the town occurs.
[Destroy the SCUD Storm]
After this devastating attack, avoid the anthrax clouds by merging towards
the right of the road and move upwards towards the bridge where you will
see a garrisoned building with enemies. Just wait 20 seconds until you see
2 chinook helicopters appear and they will drop off infantry to finish the
job - and now move up towards the bridge where there is a radar van and
some infantry and tanks. Now while destroying this area of enemies, send in
the remaining rangers from were they got dropped off by the chinook and
send them towards the right were some infantry units are holding your
grounded pilots hostage in a small fenced prison. After your rangers have
killed the troops guarding the prison, send the rescued pilots into some
of your tanks to give them a higher ranking - making them more powerful.
After doing this, send your tanks up the road towards a entry - straight
ahead that leads into dirt road. When going up the small ramp towards the
dirt area, a few of the technicals will try to attack, but your tanks
will destroy these with little fuss. Head east towards where the enemy base
is while eliminating any units or structures that belongs to the enemy.
It will also be a good idea now for your tanks to build the battle drones
for added protection. Now when you head towards the entry of the base - one
of the guy's will tell you to hold back and then you should see a plane pass
which will drop off a huge fuel bomb. Watch the fireworks obliterate the whole
frontline defence and now it is just a matter of sending in those tanks to
destroy remaining structures and units - eventually leading the the
destruction of the SCUD storm or else when you reach the SCUD's - wait like
20 seconds for a bunch of Fighter Jets to bomb this whole area to the
oblivion. Congratulations - you have finished the first USA mission.

[Rescue captured pilots]
Starting off at your base, this mission will show you the full map instead
of it being fogged out. Before you start, look at the mini-map and you
should see one red dot to the east side of it. This is where the first
pilot is being held captive. Now look below from your base and you should see
another resource area for your supplies. Build another few chinooks and send
them towards this resource. Now select the group of 4 tanks and 4 humvess
and send them in towards the 2 technical utes to destroy them. Destroy any
others that come from other directions. While doing this, look back to
your base and get a construction dozer to build another patriot missile next
to the co-existing one on the north side of the base and another one next
to the co-existing one on the east side of your base - you will see why you
need these later. Now make the group of tanks and humvees towards the angry
mob, which are guarding the entry to the first pilot. Destroy the stinger
site nearby and place the rescued pilot into one of your vehcles instantly
giving it a 3 star rank. Also, a convoy of tanks will attack your base so
this is were those patriots come in handy. Moving on, at least half of your
group should be destroyed by now, so with the money you would of recieved
during combat, build another 10 crusader tanks and send them upwards.
Also, use the upgrade to make humvees use TOW missiles to make them tougher.
From were the first pilot was, go north-west up the road towards a
garrisoned tower, with few technicals waiting nearby. Destroy these and head
up the level towards the area were enemy forces are concentrated. Destroy
any threat what so ever and rescue the second pilot which is once again
guarded by a mob and a stinger site. Now after rescuing the second
pilot, head east towards where the last pilot is being held. From
here, it's just a simple dose of attacking all the enemies with what you
have got and eventually it will all pay off when you get hold of the last
pilot - just watch out for the 3 stinger sites allocated around the
base, then send the last pilot back to your base. Mission is complete.

[Ensure the escape of 100 US forces]
This mission is very straight forward. Just concentrate towards the long
middle trench that comes from the west to the east side of the map. Around 30
seconds when the level starts, get ready because the first bunch of US forces
retreating will come from the west side of the map. Another 20 seconds
later, enemies will come from the same way towards the retreating forces. This
is were you come in to help. It is just best to use air forces for this level
as you do not have to much time to prepare. But firstly, deploy all the ground
units which have been already made for you all around your base, and make them
head down the trench to the left side near where the US forces come from.
From now, just leave them there and concentrate with your air forces. It is
suggestable that you build another at least 10 comanches.
Once you have done that get the comanches to go towards were you have
deployed all your ground units. To really tick off the enemies, build
a few patriots on the actual road that goes through the trench. Do be warned
though, each time more troops run away, more enemies do get deployed and can
be more annyoing to destroy. But if you flood the entry full of
comanches, they will make the job alot more easier. The A10 Strike will also
help towards when the forces come by the third time - but is hard to time for
when the enemy comes. The rest of the mission is pretty self explainitory so
just kill any enemies before they destroy the US forces that are retreating
and eventually you will finish the mission. Just as a reminder - when you
reach 100 units retreated, there is one more squad that will try to attack
your base - use your comanches once again to rid of this annoyance
immediately - now the mission is done for good :)

This mission is pretty short and hard but is annoying because of the mass
number of tunnel networks, stinger sites and rocket buggies you have
to destroy.
Start to make your units attack the enemies on the beachfront after
the cutscene finishes. After destroying the rather small force of
enemies, another cutscene will come up. This is were you get told to
destroy 4 stinger sites so you can bomb the area. Now you will get a few
more additional units. Group everything excpt for the tomahawk's as group
1 - the tomahawk's are group 2 and should be left behind the main attack
squad when doing any big attack on the bases.
[Destroy the Stinger Sites]
Also remember this part is non-constructable meaning that you do not have
buildings to build any additional units, so strategize your units plan of
attack more carefully for this mission. Now before you head up the small
hill to the left, get your tomahawks to eradicate the whole area of the
several bunkers. At the start, you get 3 experience points, use 2 of them
for the A10 Strike and the other for the paratroopers.
Head to the ramp on the very far west and try to use the tomahawks to
destroy the 4 stinger sites - but put a few crusaders next to them in
case any enemy buggies will come etc. After destroying the 4 sites, another
cutscene will appear showing 2 bombers - carpet bombing the entire base of
enemies.
Now you should see you construction vehicles come to the rescue.
[Destroy the GLA base]
Here you should completely rebuild an army to destroy the GLA base not to far
towards the north east of your base. Try to hurry because it is better to get
this part done quicker. Now while building - get your tomahawks to destroy
any enemies in the town area but do not get to close to the base for now.
Build a construction yard first then begin from there. By destroying the
enemies around hiding in the town area, it will be easier to access the
enemies base. Now once you set up your base - get alot of money and build a
huge army of just vehicles. Now once you have prepared everything, send
attack groups towards the base and go crazy! Once you have destroyed this
base, mission is complete. just remember to use the tomahawks to your
complete advantage if you still have them alive :)

[Prevent the GLA from constructing the river base]
After the cutscene, build an airfield - then build around 5 to 10 comanches.
Also at the same time, try to build another 5 or so tanks to join in with
the rest of them near the base. After you have built a suitable force
of tanks and air vehicles go to the right of the map and destroy everything
in this area. What also will be handy is to use some of your general
experience points towards the A10 strike and paratroopers and beef these up
to level 2 as you start off with 4 points. Now once you destroy this river
base a cutscene will come showing a few rocket buggies destroy a dam. After
the water sweeps through the town, you are cut off from sending ground units
from your first base, so it is best to now construct a new base from where
you destroyed the GLA river base.
[Destroy GLA's main base]
Now all you need to build on this new side is a barracks and a war factory.
Build any other air units on the opposite side and send them over.
Now let you chinooks get a good supply of money before building additional
amounts of crusaders. When you are ready to attack, send your units upwards
but watch out for any demolition traps which are very powerful.
Use construction dozers to disable these. Any time soon, a SCUD storm will
get built so get your A10 strike and paratroopers ready. Usually they should
build this SCUD around the very north east of the map, use your spy satellite
from the construction yard - then use the A10 strike on it and get the
paratroopers after the A10's to fully destroy it. Now back to your new small
base, put some patriots around the east side of the base as they might send
a few guys and tanks now and then throughout the level.
Build some tomahawks and crusaders and then send all of them in a group
towards the base to obliterate eveything. If you take long enough, hopefully
the A10 and paratroopers will be avaliable again. Once destroying the
base, you will complete the mission. Just make sure you take out those
stinger sites and tunnel networks first as they are very annoying to tanks
and the tunnels keep sending in terrorists to destroy your group of vehicles.
Use comanches towards the end of the level to destroy any incoming opposition
and watch out for money because you do not get too much in this level.

[Destroy the GLA towards the northeast]
From the start, use 3 out of the 4 experince points you start with on
the 3 A10 strikes. Use the remainding point on another unit of your
choice - I used it on the stealth fighter. Build a supply centre and also
more patriots around the entry to the right of the base. If you are
going downwards towards the additional supplies, watch out for some car bombs
which are usually powerful - no problem - use the construction dozers
on the area where the cars are parked to give them a check and hopefully
will disarm them. Now get 2 chinooks towards this second supply base.
Some units will attack from the right of the base but if you have at least
2 to 4 patriots - you will survive. Towards the bottom of the map, near
the supplies, build a few patriots to the right where the dirt road comes
up and all the way downwards towards the big desert plain right at the
very bottom so if any units try to sneak up, blam!! Now you can have this
section to yourself with sufficient money. now build a complete base along
with a particle cannon. If you chose to build stealth fighters then build
some of those. Just make sure you have sufficient amount of patriots on
the right side of the base. I notice that not many armoured vehicles attack
your base during the mission so this makes it a bit easier for you.
I suggest making an army of air units as using ground units would take
a way longer time to complete the level. From the money you will
recieve, build more power plants and around 5 to 10 supply drop zones to get
money every 2 minutes. From here - just build 3 to 5 particle cannons and
around the same amount of airfields and get ready to do some bombing. I
passed this mission just using superweapons and air units so it proves it
is possible to pass it. For up to date information of where the enemy
is - use the spy satellite given from the construction yard every
minute - it is very helpful to use. Use the fuel bomb only in major base
areas as it takes a long time to activate it again. Now the primary thing
here is to destroy that base at the far top right side of the map. One by
one, destroy any stinger sites you see before attacking the main base.
When you reach the main base, it is your choice to use the fuel bomb or
not but destroy the overlord tanks, and when you get a 5 star rank, spend
it on the paratroopers. Once you start attacking the northeastern base, the
units go crazy and start sending quite a few more towards the entry to the
right so have at least 6 patriots for adequate protection. After you destroy
all the buildings in that area - you have completed the first mission.
Now it is your job to destroy of the rest of the GLA and China
forces, mainly around the southeastern area of the map - this is where the
second main base is located. Bit by bit, get rid of any enemy defence - build
a group of 10 comanches with rocket pod upgrades and they will be unbeatable
when at 3 star ranks. Just make sure you take out any stinger sites before
moving on as comanches are very vunerable to these weapons. After destroying
most of the GLA, a new objective will come and plus a new threat has
risen - a nuclear bomb is counting down so use anything you got to destroy
it or do it the easy way like I do - use the particle cannons :P
[Destroy the Chinese Command Cnetre and Nuclear Silo]
This part is easy, use your fuel bombs, particle cannocs, paratroopers
everything to destroy these two buildings. When you finish this you have
completed the mission. Just remember to destroy these two structures and
nothing else what so ever.

[Destroy all GLA units and structures]
Soon as you start the mission you are given a tip to capture an abandoned
chinese base below your current base, whenever you feel like to, capture
it so you can use the chinese technology as well. Suprisingly in this mission
you will not get attacked by the enemy that much as they would rather
defend their last home :P
Spend some money on the capture upgrade and get a troop to capture
the chinese base - there is also some extra resources here so grab
them while you can. Since you dont get too much money, get the habbit
later on of building lots of supply drop zone buildings - which will
replenish your money every now and then.
Construct all the major buildings first as this is a major importance.
Especially build the Detention camp as you can see where all of the
enemies are for a period of time. When you get lots of money, build
4 aurora bombers - which costs 10000 altogether so make sure you just
have the money. Later on as well, build around 5 particle cannons - and spend
all the 7 generals points you start off with on the A10 strike, fuel bomb and
the remaining points can be used of your choice. Use the detention camp and
the spy satellite to constantly spy on the enemies where abouts. Enough
with the huge amounts of tips - lets get on with the mission.
As you should already know, the GLA are on the West side of the map. About
a few minutes into the game, the GLA will build a SCUD storm - so we must
get rid of this immediately or else suffer some consequences. For now lets
concentrate on building some units. The quickest possible solution to
destroying this SCUD is to use either the A10 Strike or the fuel bomb.
This will get rid of your problem. You can use particle cannons if you are
quick enough so try to build around 2 ot 3 before the timer reaches below
4 minutes. Now that we have destroyed the SCUD Storm, lets get ready.
The enemy will occasionally attack you but not too much. Build perhaps
several patriots behind the hills, and not just the roads because the enemies
can sneak around sometimes. If you need to build additional power, use the
nuclear reactors from china instead of the fusion ones from usa because the
nuclear ones generate more energy. What I have done, instead of sending in
a huge mass of armies of tanks, I kind of did it the short way - I built
5 nukes and 5 cannons. This will let you obliterate anything that causes
a problem. After this, send in a huge army of vehicles, comanches
especially and use aurora bombers. When using the nukes, use it in a
centralized area of their base as this will cripple them for
some time until they would probably rebuild.
When using nukes, shoot them evenly apart from each other so you get a
devastating spread effect. If you want to send a ground attack but want to
destroy the wall at the entry - take this helpful tip - make sure you have
a few particle cannons - click once at the very bottom of the barracade wall
to make the cannon start firing. The cursor still should be blue, click as
far as possible up on the wall still and the particle cannon will move
upwards along a straight line destroying anything in it's path. Might take
a few to completely destroy the wall. Make sure you have some hackers and
supply drop zones though so you can keep getting money - or else you are
doomed - literally. The rest of the mission is very straight forward - destroy
everything you see - and you should take notice that the tanks and other
vehicles have been fully upgraded - so they are tougher - take note of that.
Once you have nuked or destroyed a whole region send in some comanches or
strong ground units to neutralize the remaining buildings and such. Once you
have destroyed absolutely everything that belongs to the GLA, you have
finished the mission - the last mission for the USA
campaign ... congratulations.

*** 01 - Introduction to China ***
======================================================
The Chinese Army just like the United States, are quite powerful.
This is probably the side which have the most tactical
advantages. The power output of the nuclear reactors are bigger than
what the Cold Fusion Plants supply normally. Some disadvantages with
this side include things like the lack of air units and slow cash
supply flow because the speed of which the trucks move around. This side
is better to use for players who want to use a new side for a change.
China is very brutal and aggressive towards perfecting its nations army.
Plays more of an offensive role as making defence would cost more
overall than for example the USA - and requires more time to set up
fully. It's nuclear capabilities make this side a very powerful
one by far and should be taken into consideration when versing them.

using these as the main attack tanks as a matter of fact. When in
a massive group, these are so unstoppable and when using the Flame
Wall attack, can obliterate anything in seconds. The drawback of
these units is the low armour and they cannot attack air units.

Cost : 800
Strong : Infantry, Aircraft
Weak : Tanks
Upgrade : Chaingun
Weapon : Gattling Gun
Built : War Factory
Info : A very weak weapon against other things besides infantry and
aircraft. Goes at a good pace when moving but the gun has to speed
up to it's full speed before shooting at it's full potential. Great
to use as a mobile unit to shoot down any annoying choppers and
aircraft.

Being the first mission - this is quite an easy one. It's all pretty
straight forward here, but what you should do is build around 15
battlemasters. Group all the troops as group 3 and the battlemasters as
group 1.
About a few minutes after the start a few car bombs will come to your base
to destroy your 2 bunkers at the front of the base - don't worry really!
Once all ready for attack, you should see on the mini map a small bridge
that goes across to the other side. Go to where the bridge is and cross
it while destroying anything that gets in your way.
Also if you want to build a few troop crawlers as back up - you
can - but I dont think this would be very necessary. After crossing the
bridge a cutscene should show you some vehicles getting destroyed on
the road, to the right of the bridge. After this finishes, go onto
that road and follow it towards the nuclear bunker while remembering to
destroy anything that is not yours. Once you have reached the top, blow
up the nuclear bunker and the first china mission is now complete.

[Destroy the convention centre and its attached parking structures to stop
the terrorist threat]
Now after the rather damned cutscene, with all of those precious tanks
destroyed, looks like we have to rebuild a new base to make all of our new
units of war. Build a construction yard, then a power plant and a supply
centre to get yourself started. Now after a while progress through building
all structures and send in those remaining units towards the front area of
your base - which is above the starting area just for simple protection.
Put the rocket troops around various buildings to use as additional
protection.
Now to tell you something - the convention centre is based east from the
starting area on a small island area. This level is great to use troops
on for advancing into more buildings as you progress through the mission.
Luckily, not many enemies will be attacking your base so do not worry too
much about that matter - but always do be preparred. I always do this but
build lots of dragon tanks. Now to get money quickly build around 5 to 10
supply trucks so you have an even spread of cash flow coming through.
About 5 minutes later from the start - a cutscene appears showing something
about a train - dont worry - several red guards get dropped off from the
station to aid you in the battle.
As a matter of fact, I later researched this but just build a huge group
of dragon tanks and send them right to the convention centre while using
normal attack and the fire wall attack to completely obliterate the enemy.
Make a small squad of rocket launcher troops to help destroy other annoying
tanks etc. Spend some money on the black napalm upgrade for the dragon
tanks to make them 25% tougher. Now once you build around to 15 dragon
tanks, make them all group 1 and the rocket troops group 2. Send them
directly to the objective and then destroy every unit and building which
posses a threat or is part of the objective. Be on the look out for
terrorists, car bombs and toxin tractors when you are told so - so do use
buildings as cover when using infantry.
[Destroy the Toxin tractor production plant]
Build 3 to 5 battlemasters to take care of this annoying facility which keeps
prodcuing those tractors - this is a secondary objective which I would
believe is not compulsory to complete but is a good idea to. Here is a good
idea to defend an area from terrorists - get a flame tank and make it use
fire wall move on the direction they come from - they wont stand a chance.
Every now and then the train will drop off additional red guards so watch
that area every so often for new units. It will be also a good idea to
purchase all 3 general promotion upgrades. All you have to do now is destroy
the convention centre and use the artillery attack - finish off using the
dragon tanks and other units and then the mission will be complete.

[Destroy the Dam]
At the start, you will start off with a rather small force of tanks and some
infantry. Use one of the dragon tanks go to the right to destroy the dam wall
which will cut off some enemies heading towards you base or so.
[Destroy the GLA base]
Put the 10 infantry you start off with and place 5 in each of the 2 buildings
at the entry - the bunker and the tall structure. While they get
prepared, use your dozer to build all the required buildings to start a
necessary base. Put the 2 battlemasters at the entry to shoot other tanks etc.
Make sure you also build a radar for your command centre so you at least know
what is going on and where! After a small while - you will get a message that
the GLA will be able to cross the river soon so get prepared for some
destroying.
Now when the water level drops, make sure you send some tanks to the east
behind your base, where a small area can be crossed - this is where the
GLA will attack from for the rest of the mission. Destroy the tanks first
then use the flame wall move on the dragon tanks to kill all the infantry
instantly when they arrive. Build about 7 rocket infantry and 3 red guards
and send them to that small civilian building on the small island. This
will play as a better defence now for any incoming vehicles. After that
rather small attack - you will throughout the mission continously get
attacked by upgraded scorpions so your defence better be able to hold on
for the whole mission. Spend the 3 experience points you also start off
with on the 2 artillery barrages and the cluster mines attack - this will
help a bit for later on. Some of the scorpion tanks the GLA use in this
level are upgraded - so they have mini missile launchers as well as a
normal tank turret - so be careful when attacking.
For the rest of the mission just use the Migs to destroy any group of
enemies. If you are worried about running out of money, there is another
supply area down directly below your base - there are no enemies so you do
not need to send any tanks etc., to protect the area. Build at least 4 to 5
airfields full of mig.
When heading down towards the base, you will encounter alot more upgraded
scorpions so use the migs if they cause too much trouble. Also use these
migs to lower the health of the guard towers which around placed around
a few areas. If you ever see a big group of them sitting in one place, use
the artillery barrage to destroy them easier. In less common
appearances - there are terrorists that run around.
The great news is that the GLA base has one stinger site so send the migs
to destroy the stinger site, then attack the middle - using the artillery
barrage on the concentrated areas of the base will give you the best results.
Use the migs again to finish off other units that still survive then this
should about conclude the mission once everything is gone.

[Destroy the GLA stinger Sites]
First of all, this is what I would call a "semi" constructable mission
because you cannot build additional structures, but you can create
additional units to help you in the level. Also, this is one of the very
few levels which has a snow setting - just wanted to mention that. First
of all, the mission seems to me very simplistic, but takes a small while
to do as most of it is you requiring to destroy all the stinger sites
placed throughout different parts in the level, each one closer towards
the main base - which holds the bio-toxin factory - which must be destroyed
by an air strike and not conventional firing methods [ie: tanks, troops etc].
Each time you destroy a stinger site, you will get additional troops to aid
you furthur into the mission.
When arriving towards the stinger sites, shoot the 3 guys out of them to
make them useless, then get rocket troops to destroy it. Use the black lotus
to cash hack any oil derricks on the map and then you will start getting
more cash. After destroying the first one, you will receive more troops
that get dropped from the air. Proceed north towards the second and third
one. When coming up this way, you might encounter some technicals so use
rocket troops.
After destroying both the second and third sites, you will receive more
troops again to help. Go to the left road and towards the bridge where the
toxin tractor is. Dont worry about using your black lotus to disable
it - rather, send in the rocket troops to destroy both the tractor and
stinger site, and use the red guards to help kill the rocket soldiers inside
the site. After you have destroyed it, proceed - following the road and you
will get more troops again, destroy anything or anyone that gets in your way
and send in the black lotus ot capture the war factory dead ahead. If you
built any hackers, and you have some money to spend on, build about 5 dragon
tanks. This is all you need to do the rest of the mission - just make sure
you really purchase the black napalm upgrade and have them use the flame wall
attack until the area is clear. Do the same for every new area you visit and
eventually you will reach the last stinger site.
Our main aim now is to destroy that very last stinger site on the map, so
the air forces can destroy the bio toxin factory. Watch out for those
rampaging car bombs and technicals, they can kill half you squad by just
getting run over. If the troops die, then use the tanks. Use the dragon tanks
to obliterate the whole town area using flame wall attack, as there are a
few places where the car bombs get made - this will work alot better with
the black napalm upgrade. Proceeding upwards past the town, follow the
road, carefully using the dragons to flame different areas to get rid of
other hazards. Destroy the smaller base of the arms dealer, barracks and
command centre buildings before proceeding to the main base. Cross the
bridge and when you reach the mian area finally after flaming everything
behind, use the flame tanks to kill everything at this last part and then
an air stirke gets called in. After the bombing and destruction of the
factory - the mission is complete.

A rather cool but annoying night time mission, you find yourself
starting off in a well built base.
[Destroy the 3 GLA camps and the Main GLA base]
To start off with, you are shown where the camps and main bases are, you
must destroy these to complete this mission. The americans have given
you access to using carpet bombs. Build 2 power plants and then a barracks
and war factory. Build a few more supply trucks to get more money and
hackers when you have the time to.
You have a great defence around your base so I suggest you do not worry
too much on spending money on additional defences except just build one
more sentry gun between the two already built on the top.
Once you have built the barracks, train 10 rocket troops and put them
inside the 2 built bunkers to the left of your base. You can
utilize another supply dock north from your base but clear out the
enemies there before you use it.
To use the carpet bombing technique, select the airfield and click on the
option. Build 4 Migs here as well. Use the War Factory to build an
additional 3 dragon tanks and upgrade to black napalm, then group
them up with the other 2 dragon tanks you start off with. You are also
told a bit later that you should capture some civilian buildings to
the far west of your base to get more money and make all your units
cheaper to construct.
For the majority of the mission, try using the dragon tanks to your
absolute complete advantage - the area to the west of the base is
swarming with demolition traps, stinger sites, terrorists, car bombs, rocket
buggies and other annoying units. To the north of your base expect
more lighter vehicles like scorpions and technicals.
Use the flame wall attack for the dragon tank and spread them apart to
make one huge barrier of flames. This might sound hard, but after a while
it is very easy to do and you can easily obliterate anything shall
you come across a problem. Flame wall techniques are very useful for
killing those 3 guys inside the stinger sites, then use migs to destroy them.
Try concentrating the attacks you make [with migs and carpet bombing] on
the unmanned stinger sites, barracks and command centres. Destroying
these GLA command areas are crucial to the success of this mission.
You should invest on money to build around 4 or 5 airfields in total, all
with the 4 migs built in each one. Make sure you have the black napalm
and mig armour upgrades done and then group each 4 migs in the
airfields as groups 1,2,3,4 & 5.
If you remember to use your dragon tanks and migs as a team, you can
easily pass this mission in 30 minutes [like I have]. If you are still
worried about getting your units destroyed, take your time, there is no
rush but just watch out for your money. Once you have destroyed the
command areas of the GLA bases, then the mission is complete.

[Get black lotus to the middle of the train bridge]
This msission is a non constructable level, meaning that you cannot build
anymore additional structures besides the ones you already start with.
You start off with a few red guards and a black lotus. The train bridge
is at the middle-top part of the map so this is where you must head to.
I suggest you dont bother building any additional infantry and dont bother
spending that one generals exoerience point - there is just no point!!!
Get the 3 hackers you start with to hack in the internet to give you funds
throughout the level - that is if you want to :)
At the start, build about 3 dragon tanks, these are the only units you need
to build for the whole mission.
Send your black lotus unit towards the football stadium directly north
from your base - but keep it away from the stinger sites for now or its
in trouble. You should then be viewed a cutscene showing angry mobs
heading towards your base, put a few of those dragon tanks just above
your base, where there are the civilian buidlings and use the flame wall
attack.
Keep these taaks here for the remaining of the level. Now, get your black
lotus to keep moving upwards the map until you reach near the bridge. When
you get near the bridge there should be 2 stinger sites guarding it, do
not bother what so ever to destroy these. By now, you should of figured
out how extremely inaccurate the defensive structures are towards
individual foot units. Just click on the bridge to make the black lotus run
to it while the stinger sites shoot at it, but will be missing about
90 percent of the time and once it steps on the bridge, enjoy the ending
cutscene.
You have now completed one of the shortest and easiest missions by far!

[Establish a base and locate resources]
At the start, you will face a force of tanks and maybe some infantry.
Upgrade your overlord tanks with the sentry guns. Keep heading east
until you reach the GLA outpost which will have several scorpion
tanks defending it, so kill and destroy everything there and then use
your 2 construction dozers to establisha base near the supplies given.
When you start constructing your base, you face another problem
which is that the GLA has finished building a SCUD Storm, meaning that
you have 5 minutes to do something about it. Keep your tanks around the
north entry of your base at ALL TIMES. The west entry of this area is
not accessable by the enemy.
Hehehehehe, luckily the SCUD's do not actually fire if you money is over
5000 dollars so keep that in mind and keep a 'low profile' with money
until you manage to destroy. Chances are once you destroy it, it will
never return again!
[Defeat the GLA]
After destroying a few more armoured GLA units from your base, you will
receive a promotion. Use the points on all the 3 artillery barrages, emp
bomb and cluster bomb. You will still get a few more points when reaching
5 star general rank.
You will need to find the SCUD storm on the map somewhere.
Now hopefully if you have the money, build an airfield which should take
about then some migs. Use this mig to scout the area for the SCUD storm
and find it. Look at the VERY TOP - middle of the map to find this
SCUD Storm and as quickly as possible, launch artillery
and any other attacks that you can use to destroy it or disable it for
sometime. The good news is that about most of the time, the
SCUD's do not actually launch straight after they are ready so this is
your window of opportunity to destroy it. Now once you have eliminated
this structure from the GLA, then that problem is over.
You will notice numerous stinger sites about half way through the
map and stretches out towards the main base on the top of the level.
You should be well into getting some money, so send a construction
dozer with a few tanks to the left of the map just above where you
started, except you need to go around and then you can utilize a
supply dock. You might want to disable an area of stinger sites if
you want to continue with fighter jets towards the enemies base, which
is the best bet to completing this mission as soon as possible.
Now I know this might be troubling to do, but get into building those
nuclear weapons as soon as possible. I ended up playing the mission
with 2 nuclear weapons. Okay while the enemy are trying to bust in your
base, but have a hard time getting to your base because of those overlord
tanks you should have guarding the entry.
Build about 3 airfields, all with migs and mig armour upgrade, but spend
your sweet time doing this as the amount of time you would spend waiting
for your cash to go up is quite long.
One target at a time, send these migs to destroy a stinger site each time.
Not only will it eliminate this threat, but will make the enemy considerably
weaker hence making this mission a bit easier to cope with.
The only pain in the butt is the fact that the GLA keep sending in quad cannon
reinforcements so you will need to do something about it, perhaps use the
battlemaster tanks in a group to destroy these quicker, but the flame tanks
will provide a 'thicker' defence wall and will make some of these enemy units
impossible to pass a barrage of flame walls from dragon tanks with the black
napalm upgrade.
Alternatively, a more risky way of destroying these stinger sites is by
using normal tank units but you will encounter numerous amounts of opposition
now and again - in particular rocket buggies band quad cannons and
you will be forced to spend more money - hence less to spend for units
towards the end of the level.
Place some rocket troops in the buildings just north from your base with
your tanks guarding the entry because big groups of rocket buggies and
quad cannons start to come in! If you want to go for a non-superweapon
attack on this level, go for building overlords, dragon tanks and maybe
a few nuke cannons but that is optional. Sounds like alot of money to spend
but when you capture those supply docks, it will be alot easier to do this...
eventually.
After destroying the stinger sites around the middle of the map area, keep
using any migs you have built to attack the remaining structures on the top
of the map, but if you have not destroyed all stinger sites, make your migs
fly towards the left side of the map after passing the middle of it and then
swerve right as soon as you reach the base area.
Once you have destroyed a huge majority of the stingers, quad cannons, rocket
buggies and troops, then the resistance is weak and build some troop
crawlers as support into areas which have some resistance. Send these into the
main base [at least 5] and destroy or capture all the buildings - if your low
on money, capture and sell!
Once you have destroyed some remaining troops, light vehicles and
structures, the mission is over and so is the campaign.

*** 01 - Introduction to Global Liberation Army ***
======================================================
The GLA are not as much of a nation, but more of like a people's army.
Probably being one of the weakest but eventually becoming the strongest out
of the 3 playable sides, the GLA have quite a devastating and annoying super
weapon if it is used correctly towards the enemy. The other advantage about
using GLA is that some things that you can buy are cheap, and even though
weak [ie: tanks etc], they can be upgraded from parts of destroyed enemies to
make them extremely dangerous and well armed, so do watch out if versing GLA
on brutal. The other good fact about this side is that they do not use
power so you can keep oon building without worrying about blackouts.
Here are the following units and structures you can build with the GLA.
======================================================
*** 02 - GLA Structures ***
======================================================
- - - Command Centre - - -
Cost : 2000
Builds : Workers
Info : The place for all of it's operations and construction of the GLA
structures and is one of the most important buildings that is needed
to survive - unless you have lots of money.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Barracks - - -
Cost : 500
Builds : Rebel
RPG Trooper
Terrorist
Angry Mob
Hijacker
Jarmen Kell
Upgrade : Capture Building
Info : The typical building in which produces useful foot soldiers in the
field of battle.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Supply Stash - - -
Cost : 1500
Builds : Workers
Info : Used as a depot for collecting resources which gets transferred
to money so you can spend it on what you want for the battle you
are fighting in. Each time a worker drops off a resource - you
will get dollars for each drop-off. It is a good idea to get
at least 10 workers to pick up the resources for you so you have
efficient money supplies all the time.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Tunnel Network - - -
Cost : 800
Capacity : 10 units
Info : Usually playing an emergency and defensive role, place these
around different areas so you can put guys into them and click
on another tunnel structure and then tell the guys to get out
of it. Great for extremely quick transportation methods. Can
use foot and vehicle units.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Stinger Site - - -
Cost : 900
Upgrade : AP Rockets
Info : Very good to use as a primary entry defence - these stinger
sites are very tough in groups and are annoying to destroy
Each site contains 3 rocket soldiers which can shoot both
ground and air units.
Also very useful to destroy fighter jets with but might be
needed in groups of 3 to destroy an A10 strike or other powerful
types of bombings from cargo planes.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Palace - - -
Cost : 2500
Capacity : 5 units
Upgrade : Anthrax Beta
Camoflague
Toxin Shells
Arm The Mob
Info : The place for where you should upgrade some of your units for
making them alot more useful. Also has the ability to house a
few units for protection purposes.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Demolition Trap - - -
Cost : 400
Option : Proximity Fuse
Remote Detonation
Detonate
Info : A very small drum stuffed with explosives for a good price.
Make sure when building these - place them in strategic places
where you think the enemy will pass through. It is a good idea
to keep these away from your base as a precaution though. Can
be detected for example by the USA's spy satellite or chinese
troop crawler.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Black Market - - -
Cost : 2500
Upgrade : AP Bullets
AP Rockets
Junk Repair
Buggy Ammo
Radar Scan
Info : Another place in which you can upgrade additional units - but
mainly for armoured ones. An expensive building, the advantage
about this structure is that you are given dollars every
3 seconds so it is a good idea to build some of this same
structure.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Arms Dealer - - -
Cost : 2500
Builds : Scorpion
Technical
Toxin Tractor
Rocket Buggy
SCUD Launcher
Radar Van
Quad Cannon
Marauder Tank
Bomb Truck
Upgrade : Scorpion Rocket
Info : The place in which can produce the most different
types of tanks in the game, there is a fair share of cheap units to
some really worthwhile ones in which you can produce here. Quite a
few are costly though.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - SCUD Storm - - -
Cost : 5000
Info : Gives you the potential to use the SCUD superweapon attack.
======================================================
*** 03 - GLA Units ***
======================================================
- - - Worker - - -
Cost : 200
Info : The main unit of the GLA - this person is needed for the role
of constructing new structures and collecting resources for
money.

Cost : 150
Strong : Infantry
Weak : Tank, Light Vehicles
Upgrade : Capture Building
Camouflague
AP Bullets
Weapon : AK-47 Assault Rifle
Info : The basic attacking unit of the GLA. The rebel is only useful
in big groups. Good against other infantry and rocket troops, these
are also good for destroying light vehicles. Can capture structures
when learns the capture building move.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - RPG Trooper - - -
Cost : 300
Strong : Tanks
Weak : Infantry
Upgrade : AP Rockets
Weapon : RPG Rocket Launcher
Info : Another simnple attacking unit, the rocket troop is about the
complete opposite to the rebel in what it is best in destroying.
Horrible against riflemen, these guys can pop a whole group of tanks
when they are in groups without any worries.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Terrorist - - -
Cost : 200
Strong : Tanks, Buildings
Weak : Infantry, Light Tanks

reasoning.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Angry Mob - - -
Cost : 800
Strong : Infantry, Vehicles
Weak : Flame, Toxins, Flashbang
Upgrade : Arm the Mob
Weapon : AK-47 Assault Rifle
Molotov Cocktail
Info : A very annoying team of people, especially towards tanks as these
people go frantic when it's gone to destroying things. Armed with
rifles and molotovs - these units are extremely useful to destroy
structures and are hard to kill.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Hijacker - - -
Cost : 400
Strong : Tanks, Vehicles
Weak : Infantry, Scouts
Weapon : Knife
Info : Armed with a very weak weapon, but useful for stealth purposes, hide
this unit near an area where tanks will pass. Hijack only when the
vehicles are distracted by other units as this unit is only cloaked
when remained stationary and will be attacked if seen.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Jarmen Kell - - -
Cost : 1500
Strong : Infantry, Vehicles
Weak : Scouts
Option : Sniper Attack
Upgrade : AP Bullets
Weapon : Long Range Sniper Rifle
Info : The special infantry unit of the GLA, this guy is cloaked all the
time except when attacking an enemy. His deadly stealth techniques
and long range aiming compensates for this though. This unit is great
to use to kill vehicle crew which makes it vulnerable to hijack by
any of the GLA foot units.

Cost : 600
Strong : Light Vehicles
Weak : Rocket Soldiers, Aircraft

drop off in places far away in better amount of times. Can be
upgraded from destroyed enemy parts.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Radar Van - - -
Cost : 500
Upgrade : Radar Scan
Junk Repair
Info : Vunerable to an attacking enemy units, keep this unit next to your
base at all times. The only thing it can do is supply you with radar.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
- - - Quad Cannon - - -
Cost : 700
Strong : Infantry, Aircraft
Weak : Tanks

======================================================
*** 06 - GLA Superweapons ***
======================================================
- - - SCUD Storm - - -
Deployed : Scud Storm
Countdown : 5:00 Minutes
Info : Requires a 5 minute countdown before being able to use it, the
SCUD storm is probably one of the most annoying superweapons
from other players point of view. The fact there are 9 missiles
that complete the superweapon, gives it a rather nice spread effect
across the targetted area. The explosions deal about a medium amount
of damage to some structures, but is extremely useful against armoured
units and infantry. After the 9 missiles bombard the area, the after
effects of the anthrax stays exposed around the area for at least 2
minutes before vanishing. A truly devastating weapon when used in
groups.
- - - - - - - - - -
- Anthrax Bomb -
Deployed : Command Centre
Countdown : 6:00 Minutes
Info : Requires a 6 minute countdown before being able to utilize this
weapon - the anthrax bomb can only be delivered via a plane giving
it less of a chance when trying to attack an enemy base with air
defence. Not particularly used to destroy structures as much as the
SCUD's, the bomb is extremely effective when trying to tackle down
huge groups of infantry and maybe some armoured vehicles. It deploys
a rather spectacular array of blue and purple waves up the air and
then falls onto the ground, leaving a big blue area of anthrax which
is ready to kill anything in it's radius. The effects of the anthrax
stay for about a few minutes.

[Destroy the Chinese Base]
As soon as the cutscene finishes, finish off any other units and wait until
3 bomb trucks come from the road. Use these to destroy the remaining
buildings. Now another cutscene should come up.
[Destroy the Dam]
You cannot build too much on this level so refer back to the simple units
to attack anything. Make your first group of tanks group 1 for now and the
technicals group 2. Now build an arms dealer building but you can capture an
arms dealer building below your base to the left if you want to and build
about 5 to 10 tanks. Once you have constructed these, send them in with
the group 1 vehicles and make all of them group 1 again. While you are about
to send the tanks, build some rebels and RPG troops and keep them in the
base. Now send Group 1 up the road above the base, towards where you will see
a road to the right, follow upwards this road and destroy patrolling units.
If you want to, merge to the small dirt road to the right and capture the
supply depot to recieve some additional funds. Now go back down south the
main asphalt road and you should see a small group of a few tanks and a
troop carrier - destroy these! and then follow the road. You should come up
to a small town area and some enemies - kill them all once again ... and
also destroy the speaker tower in the middle of the town if you want to.
Now head upwards from the town and there should be an enemy base, make
sure you have quite a few tanks at this stage to make it all alot easier.
Now once you obliterate everything, head east with several tanks and
destroy that dam! This takes a little while but eventually pays off!!
Then a cutscene should start and thats the end of the first mission :)

[Collect 000 dollars in stolen supplies]
- Task One : Collect 000 from the UN convoy's crates
This mission is one of the two mission's coming up that are really easy.
Spend one of your experience points on the technical training and nothing
else for now. For the whole mission, just build technicals - around 10
will do for the whole mission. Build 3 scorpions and leave them in your
base as a bit of defence in case later on there could be a few small
attacks on your base from US humvees or tanks. Make sure you do not
spend too much or else it will take longer to do the mission.
Here is a quick tip you will need to know for this mission. Put the whole
group of technicals in the middle city - this is the area where all the roads
join up into a big junction. Whenever the convoy passes, it will always pass
here except if it comes from the north side of the map, then you need to move
your technicals a bit to the west to see the convoy passing the middle town
area.
Destroy all 3 vehicles of the convoy's and drive over the supply crates you
see on the road. make sure you destroy these vehicles before they supply
the cities instead - full of cash. This part is very easy and once you reach
000 - the next part will begin.
- Task Two : Collect 000 from the crates US planes are dropping
This is a very easy part of the mission as well, instead of convoy's
though - there are planes flying around which will fly to a certain town and
drop off the supplies. You are given the quad cannons near your base but do
not bother using these. instead get all your technicals and predict where
they go to - it is easy after a while. Here are some vague descriptions
of where they head to:
1]: If the plane starts flying from the bottom right of the map, it will
drop off it's supplies on the town at the top left, the one just
above your base.
2]: If the plane comes from the top - middle area of the map, then it's
heading towards the town on the middle of the map - the one with
all the roads linking up to it.
3]: If the plane comes from the top left of the map, it will head for the
town on the bottom left of the map.
Use the technicals to drive under the supplies as they drop and you should
be able to get them without having to destroy the planes. When it goes to
000, the last part will begin.
- Task Three : Collect 000 from raiding the US base
I highly suggest you dont bother raiding this base as you will have to
spend more money hence keep collecting the supplies the planes keep dropping
off. This takes a bit longer but is alot easier to do. After you get 000
you complete the mission.

[Destroy civilian buildings and gather 40000]
This is the easiest mission in the whole campaign in my opinion.
You start off with a rather small base and one worker, but DO NOT spend
anything at all. Leave you base alone for the whole mission. You should
have 3 angry mobs at your base. At the start, spend 2 of your generals
experience points on the 2 cash bounty upgrades. Now basically, all you
do is destroy any buildings you see and collect those UN supply crates
that appear after the building is destroyed. Destroy any cop cars you
see to gain additional funds and thats about it. There might be
very, very few enemies that you encounter. The only enemy that
attacked me was one dragon tank. The rest of the mission is pure
destruction ... enjoy :)

[Destroy the american airbase]
This mission is also pretty straight forward, when attacking
the base, just try to destroy the patriots first, then the
airbase and the rest of the enemy base. The bad thing is that
you do not have much room to construct lots of structures.
You start off with a rather small base, but have few
workers. get most of them to pick up the resources while you still
have 1 or 2 to build other structures.
Build an additonal 10 workers to pick up more resources.
Spend all 3 of your experience points on the SCUD launcher, rebel
ambush and the cash bounty 1.
Build a barracks and arms dealer, and then a stinger site on the
very bottom where the road curves back. Also if you want
to, build another stinger site on the small grass space just
to the left of the supply dock. Build one radar van and place
it somewhere on your base. The last structure you would want
to build is the palace - so do that.
Now for the attack force. Build 2 or 3 quad cannons and around 2
scud launchers. The SCUDS will make the job alot easier in some cases.
If you do not have that much money yet, just wait a while or else
build more workers to satisfy your needs. Once you have made a small
army, send them down the curve into the small trench that extends through
the map. Use the rebel ambush first as a scout to see where everything
is. The airbase is around the west direction. The US fighter jets might
attack your base sometimes - especially the stingers.
There should be only five patriot missles defending the base. The quad
cannons will destroy any aerial attacks by the US. Use the SCUDS to
destroy the patriots while you have the quad cannons to destroy the
buildings and infantry. When these vehicles get 3 star ranks, they
can destroy buildings very quickly. At the very end, a bomber with
a fuel bomb will come pass, and if it survives, will attack your
main part of your base, but who cares anyway, you will win, so just leave it.
Finish off anymore remaining forces and now I've just proven you can pass
this level with 4 attacking units :) Mission is complete!

[capture 4 bunkers and wipe out the american defenders]
This mission is pretty hard, but if you follow the following procedure, it
can be done very easily!
First things first, use only one out of the 4 points you start with in the general
experience menu for the SCUD Launchers - these will play a vital importance later
on in the level. Now on the supply stash on the very bottom left of your base, build
another 9 workers to gather those supplies. Send another idle worker just up north
from your base and build another supply stash there, training another 9 workers
to collect supplies here - we want money quickly! Now once you get those workers
collecting resources, then get a few workers to build stinger sites from just above
the supply stash you built extending to the right where the water is - build about
6 to 8 stinger sites and spread them evenly. Now build some rebels and place them
in the civilian buildings nearby, so any enemy infantry which come and cause a
problem, will be killed quickly! Build another 4 stinger sites to the bridge just
to the east of your base, and send those 2 technicals you start off with to
go there as well.
Now that we have good defence, we can concentrate on building an offensive!
Build another arms dealer building near the existing one and also a palace
and black market to produce some upgrades and other units. Build 2 quad cannons
and group it up with the rocket buggy you should start with - on top of
this, build 5 SCUD Launchers in the other arms dealer place you built.
Upgrade the SCUD's with the anthrax beta upgrade to make its anthrax attack more
powerful.
Once you have built the SCUD's, group them with the other 3 vehicles, then send
them to the east killing any incoming infantry and travel to the very east of
the map until you reach those 2 bunkers. Destroy the infantry bunkers
on 'your' side of the bridge leading to the enemies island, and get those
SCUD's to force fire at the bridge.
What you do here is that you get each SCUD to fire an 'ANTHRAX' scud on
seperate parts of the bridge, thus creating a spread effect, making it nearly
impossible for units to cross the long bridge! Keep the SCUD's here continously
firing on the bridge for the rest of the mission. Also utilize the other supply
dock nearby for resources. Capture the 2 bunkers here.
Build an addtional 5 SCUD Launchers and about 10 scorpions with 2 or 3 quad
cannons. Keep these at your base still and build Jarmen Kell. Send this unit
north from your base to the 2 bunkers captured by the US. Use the sniper attack
move on the humvees and crusader tanks guarding the area and then send those
scuds and scorpions you built up to this location. Now get those scuds to force
fire on the second bridge which directly leads to the enemy base. By now you
would of captured 4 intact bunkers, go kill the americans. Shoot one of the 5
scuds at the bunker on the opposite side of the bridge. Doing this will destroy
anything in a big radius as these bunkers make big explosions when destroyed.
Once you have destroyed the entry defence of the main base, use your scorpions
to kill ground units and the quad cannons to shoot down the comanches and chinooks.
Destroy all buildings and enemy units in this level and then you have completed
this rather long but easy level.
