17:14 I think the immersion factor of hearing "AK-47's; for everyone!" and the moralic cheer of the crowd really brought out that this game had love poured by everyone, and i'll love this game until the end of days.

Wait till the Chinese start supplying the Taliban with real biochemical weapons in revenge for false American accusations of using bioweapons. COVID has a mild mortality rate of 2%. The Chinese Russians and Americans have agents that typically have 60% mortality rate
The fact after the USA left in the GLA campaign in the final mission, with the following GLA uprising and taking over the bases makes it somewhat accurate nowadays...
The GLA successfully kicking the U.S. out of the Mideast in the Zero Hour campaign seemed pretty outlandish at the time--but watching the fall of Kabul in real life, it's downright eerie.
That's the problem with these games. They were never meant to be taken seriously at the time they were written but instead they become near prophetic. Aside from Kabul, who knew Hong Kong would be under civil unrest that needed Beijing to respond with the PLA?
The Taliban didn't push the U.S out of Afganistan though....We literally where packing up to leave when they decided to go on a major offensive after we beat teh shit out of them. GLA also suceeded in taking over all of Europe....Europe comprising of superpowers well capabable of defending themselves. So yeah, Generals lore isn't meant to be taken seriously...at all....
@@karlq7798 Nah. The Taliban got a bunch of their fighters and a major leader freed long beforehand, and were given a heads up during a meeting on US soil.
Jarmen Kell on a combat cycle? I didn't even know that was a thing. Also, most wholesome moment when using an army of terrorists and warcriminals, "thank you for the new shoes!"
Fun tidbits! The RPG Trooper is internally known as 'GLAInfantryTunnelDefender' Which is why they talk about Tunnels a lot! Converting a Combat Cycle into a Terror Bike makes the the Combat Cycle slower! Fun bonus bit: If you're Demolition General and get the Demolitions research, the Explosive power of the Terror Bike is larger than its supposed stats, this is because it's also applying the Demolitions effect, making a second explosion on the same frame. An Upgraded Demolition General SCUD Storm is the only superweapon in the game that destroy other superweapons and command centers if all of the missiles connect properly. What Jarmen does isn't actually unique when he's Garrisoning structures, the USA Pathfinder does the same thing. This is because both units are tagged as 'STEALTH_GARRISON' units. The Cash Bounty power applies to any kill from any source. Base Structures can also gain the cash bounty and even the SCUD Storm can gain money. But not the Command Center's Special Powers because the Special Powers aren't actual weapons on the Command Center object while the SCUD Storm has 'ScudStorm' directly on its weapon slot. This segways into the SCUD Bug, and it's that reason why the SCUD bug happens, it's because the game thinks it can fire the SCUD Storm missiles as a normal weapon because it's weapon is directly referenced in its object entry. The other two superweapons don't have this as their weapons work the same way a command center does.
Scud bug is cool, even though I only just learned of it! Group Scud with a unit, tell unit to move, and while unit is moving use the force-fire to rain down endless poison missiles! If I made a mistake, let me know!
Last time i put my pathfinders in the building the enemy instantly saw my pathfinder, i dont think they work the same with Jarmen Kell ability to sneak in building.
Toxin general can also destroy enemy super weapons in one strike due to his missiles using anthrax gamma, the missiles explosions leave the building with very little health while the anthrax leftover will chip the remaining health and eventually destroys it.
@@nogisonoko5409 I think they saw your pathfinders walking to the building because unlike jarmen kell who can move while being stealth, pathfinders can't and so they get detected whenever they move
Its Pretty impressive how an Technologically Inferior Faction was able to gave 2 of the most Powerful and Technologically Advanced Factions in the world a run for their money.
The middle east bankrupted communist Russia during their war, then America decided to follow suit in roughly 2 "conflicts" and then a full tilt war that we are in fact still waging even in 2021. So yeah, quite impressive
@Ryan Storm Actually, the current Taliban ideology is exactly what GLA is in both Generals and Zero Hour. They combine anti-imperialism and religion to create their ideology. However, when Generals 2 came, their ideology shifted to lesson the religious influence in order to get recruits from Europe (as they will now fight the European Continental Army at that time)
I really enjoyed watching this video and I look forward to the other factions being discussed. The production quality in this video was very surprisingly high. On another note I do hope that one day we received a remake of Command&Conquer Generals, the games feels a bit clunky to play after playing moden RTS games. It has such a good vibe and faction design.
The biggest improvement though should be to the AI. In skirmishes against the AI there really is only the early game since the AI won't spam resource buildings. Once their stash runs out, they're done.
@@ЦзинКэ-ы5х sharkweek is an example and another national geographic show I forgot the name of, EA is also referenced the GLA soundtrack in sims 4 where you can hear it playing while a sims watch a knockoff indiana jones movie. alot of natgeo shows uses the usa soundtrack. it's hard to give you a specific example when they use the soundtracks during the episode while explaining something
what a treat, every C&C vid just gets better. The way the base and all units was presented and focussed on is amazing. Keep up the awesome work! Loving the Generals lore.
The fact that ya put this together while staying in character as well as not losing track of the game's initial theme and flavor makes me appreciate the immersion Generals had to offer like never before. Took us straight to memory lane and reminded us what the game's about, and it's only the beginning!
Even this vid is long, this will be interesting. Even GLA lacks of any technologies, they are resourceful. However, there is power struggles and/or even power vacuums. BTW, impressive work! :)
As usual, you did another amazing video! I'm really glad that you began the faction lore series with the GLA, they are my absolute favorite in C&C Generals. I still think they have the best voices, lines and music in the whole game!
I think Jarmen Kell is just a title, like black rose, but to give it the impression of an impossible to kill mercanary, any time he dies, they just pass the persona to a new person. So there is no singular Jarmen Kell, giving him the IMAGE of an immortal fighter who can never be pinned down nor killed.
I would think, that's how all the various factions HERO units work. Since you can have multiple of them, if you manage to capture an enemy faction's Barracks and Palace, even if you already have your own Jarmen, you can still acquire the one from the other enemy's faction, using both (or more) of them at the same time. Yea, that's game mechanics and not a lore thing, but it can be explained in the lore as the HERO unit not being a singular person, but more of a "rank", or a mantle being given down to some of the most skilled snipers (Jarmen Kell)/agents (Black Lotus)/commandos (Col. Burton). Even the Boss general Leang can train all three of them, even when their actual factions have them already, resulting in a battle of Jarmen against Jarmen, Black Lotus against Black Lotus and so on. Which would be pretty impossible, if it was a single person. At least that's my headcanon, uniting game mechanics with lore.
46:35 They are based on the T-34. which the USSR shipped in massive numbers to Arabian countries during the late 50's and early 60's during the Israeli wars. After all the T-34 was already obsolete against the western powers and they already had massive numbers of T-54's. One way you can tell is the lack of a drive sprocket which is something the T-34 lacked.
I don't think so , the chassis is too different, they however resembled WW2 italian tanks like the P26, which took part a lot in African theater. Even if the Soviets did suppiled Africans with T-34, it will not be the standard T-34/75 but the T-34-85, the ones with the bigger turrets.
Okay... I've been playing this game for 20 years now and never knew Jarmen Kell can also use the bike. You sir, are a godsend. Also, since you were at barely 250 subscribers last year... welcome to the mainstream. You earned another one! And I'm sure quite a few more with this video. I want to see the other factions and a "Generals" special, on the ZH specializations.
Did you know that RPG missiles have a max range? if an aircraft manages to outfly the missile, the missile will run out of fuel and fall out of the sky and explode on the ground.
@@thecrank4572 It does. I'v had my advisor scream at me alot whenever one of my aircraft carried a RPG back towards the base and had it hit one of the defenses. Doesn't do much damage, but damage is damage.
Holy cow. I was thinking about a Anime music video that used the GLA theme. When to look it up and found this A hour after it posted. You may stay in my head rent free.
What I really love about this video was that... the "loading bar" is constantly moving as Jethild narrates the story behind GLA. Imagine if Westwood Studio, may the Lord bless it in our memories, had Jethild doing this for them in every loading screen and we can listen to them while the game loads, and if the game has finished loading we get to stay in the loading screen to continue listening to the video or click to skip the video and head right into the mission. It'll be sweet.
The IRL organizations I imagine would form the alliance what would coalesce into the Global Liberation Army are: 1. Taliban 2. ETIM 3. Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan 4. Caucasus Emirate (Chechen rebels) 5. Grey Wolves 6. al-Qaeda 7. United Jihad Council (Kashmiri insurgents) 8. Hamas
and straight up the ba'athists of Iraq under Saddam. Mission one in generals as the USA is literally you invading Baghdad because they have biochemical superweapons.
Broo this is some weird shit. I first played Generals & Generals:Zero Hour in 2009 I would have never expected that something like this would be uploaded in 2021. Please keep on uploading!
Hands down earning a sub right there I was around 9 years old when I first played the game and now I'm 26 and I only just learned hijacked USA vehicles with veterancy ejected the Hijacker like pilots. I was also always baffled on what "soviet era" vehicles the GLA vehicles were based out of and it's always the same debate in forums, glad you narrowed it down in the vid without being vicious on a single answer
Amazing work as always on the videos, hate I missed a few but will watch them. The GLA was always my go to for Generals, they were just fun to play and in a big stretch were kind of like playing Cobra in a C&C game, which was my favorite side in GI Joe. The sheer amount of depth and production you put into these videos us just beyond great.
Yeah I plan to do similar videos like this one for USA and China factions. Long videos like this do take longer to make though, so unfortunately it will be awhile before I get to the other two. Plus I usually go back and forth between Generals related videos and the Tiberium related ones.
@@Jethild Hello I greatly enjoyed your fallout content, if you are doing that type of content again may I suggestion a Fallout New Vegas faction comparation NCR vs Legion Vs Mr House.
What a thorough video! I bow before you! I hope we can expect same quality videos for the other factions. Also really nice to see the original units since im used to playing quality improvement mods like Shockwave.
@@WARthogBasilius Yep, I was initially going to include more detailed info about the GLA generals in this video, but once I realized that would make it well over an hour long I decided to save them for a future video. I didn't know how well a long video like this would be received but it seems like most people are enjoying it. I also realized while making this video that I did not have enough hard drive space on my computer to handle all the gameplay footage I had recorded. So even if I wanted to include footage of the generals and their unique units, I just didn't have the space for it.
Dude this was so good. 50 minutes wasn't enough, I love the attention to details to every action or part of the structure/vehicles function. even though the Devs didn't meant anything by it just to put a game pattern, it's really nice that you added lore to it. I hope we could see more factions!
Some people who have not played Command and conquer generals (I ask why. If you do not like the modern setting, its game balance and set up is amazing) The shoes are great because they will move much much faster. WAy faster than the other resource gathering vehicles.
Damn dude... this is... really, really well put together. I especially love how the "loading bar" at the bottom corresponds with where you are/time elapsed within the video. This is really good.
Author:"GLA General that wanted a weapon system that could destroy units and base building from afar but also carried high explosive warhead, would require a Scud Launcher." Scud Launcher: [Evil Laugh] I subscribed
I've played the game for quite awhile years ago but never thought that the combat bike could be "swapped" with the other infantry units. That would've opened a whole new door of for me to mess around in Skirmish. Love the series, hope to see the same treatment for USA and China
My man, I love the work you put in to making these videos. Ofcourse I myself had a great time, playing the game and commiting war crimes. But the crème de la crème for me is when I select the scud launcher and he laughs and shows us all how much he loves his work and commute.
Another fantastic video. Well done Sir. Also if we count the information that was released before Generals 2 was canceled, Jarmen Kell survives and appears to take a more leadership role in the organization instead of just continuing to be a hired gun.
Yep, I read up on some of the Generals 2 stuff but ultimately decided to leave any of that out of the video since I don't personally consider cancelled games like that to be canon. But I do like the idea that he survived after the events of Zero Hour. Or you could also go with the theory that Jarmen Kell isn't a single man but is actually multiple men who just take on the name after the previous one dies.
@@Jethild Just like the Black Lotus agents of China. Can you do a lore video of a Generals Mod called Rise of the Reds? It has it's own way of continuing the Zero Hour story.
Right now I'm just focused on first party content in the Tiberium and Generals universes. I haven't played any mods related to any of the C&C games, but I know Rise of the Reds is one of the big ones for Generals.
Nice review, enjoyed watching. But you didn't mention another toxin upgrade, called "Anthrax gamma", owned only by Dr. Thrax. This upgrade not only makes toxins more effective, but for some reason makes rockets of RPG soldiers and Stinger sights making more damage.

Holy cow. I was thinking about a Anime music video that used the GLA theme. When to look it up and found this A hour after it posted. You may stay in my head rent free.
What was the anime video?
Link?
lore about my favorite faction? yes please!
Another command and conquer lore video? You made my day! 😀😃
If I didn't pause for game lore dash's 6 hour diablo 3 video, I'm good. 😜
6 hours? I tip my hat to you! 🪖
What I really love about this video was that... the "loading bar" is constantly moving as Jethild narrates the story behind GLA.
Imagine if Westwood Studio, may the Lord bless it in our memories, had Jethild doing this for them in every loading screen and we can listen to them while the game loads, and if the game has finished loading we get to stay in the loading screen to continue listening to the video or click to skip the video and head right into the mission. It'll be sweet.
*"Potency guaranteed!"*
"We serve *generous* portions!"
The IRL organizations I imagine would form the alliance what would coalesce into the Global Liberation Army are:
1. Taliban
2. ETIM
3. Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan
4. Caucasus Emirate (Chechen rebels)
5. Grey Wolves
6. al-Qaeda
7. United Jihad Council (Kashmiri insurgents)
8. Hamas
9. Abu Sayyaf Group
10. Jemaah Islamiyah
11 1s1s
and straight up the ba'athists of Iraq under Saddam. Mission one in generals as the USA is literally you invading Baghdad because they have biochemical superweapons.
2 and 3 are enemies with the Taliban tho
@@eyeballpapercut4400 thats why the GLA aren't real.....as of right now.
I've been waiting for the next generals video and here it is! This is gonna be so good!
The aerial view of GLA base is nice touch
"Prepare to tell your 3-eyed grandchildren of your defeat this day!"
My brave warriors! How could you do this to them? What did they ever do to y.... oh wait nevermind.
Perhaps I shouldn't have gotten my degree from mail order college
Maybe you'll consider a peace offering. A-an antidote perhaps.
"You'll like this, General. Oh, wait, no you won't! Ne-huh-huh!"
ywnbaw
time to drop everything and watch commander jethild once again
Good idea. 💡
My first game and still one of my favorites. Amazing game, deserves a sequel.
Ditto
Awesome! I've always wanted to see C&C Generals lore videos!
Isn’t it nice when you get what you’ve always wanted?
These guys had the most engaging and immersive infantry mechanics. And.. historically accurate.
YES FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this lore.
Broo this is some weird shit. I first played Generals & Generals:Zero Hour in 2009 I would have never expected that something like this would be uploaded in 2021. Please keep on uploading!
Hands down earning a sub right there
I was around 9 years old when I first played the game and now I'm 26 and I only just learned hijacked USA vehicles with veterancy ejected the Hijacker like pilots.
I was also always baffled on what "soviet era" vehicles the GLA vehicles were based out of and it's always the same debate in forums, glad you narrowed it down in the vid without being vicious on a single answer
Perfect timing with this video and so awesomely produced, thanks for that.
"You want your troops to eh, glow in the dark? Heh, _build more then!!_ "
Breathe in and out...feel better? * maniac laugh*
Thank you for the new video!
Amazing work as always on the videos, hate I missed a few but will watch them. The GLA was always my go to for Generals, they were just fun to play and in a big stretch were kind of like playing Cobra in a C&C game, which was my favorite side in GI Joe. The sheer amount of depth and production you put into these videos us just beyond great.
So amazingly detailed amazing work as always my good man.
Finally i'v been waiting for it . Thanks
This just mad my day. Thanks ♥️
👍🏻
Much love man. I feel so nostalgic and you are feeding me candies.
Jarmen Kell: gets hit by a missle
Also Jarmen Kell: "Tis but a scratch "
How do you not have more subs like, honestly your production is so amazing in every video
Agreed
this is so damn well made! great video i literally sat through it all without feeling bored or pausing once, keep it up!
Alot of hard work was put into this thumbs up
All i can say about this video is,
*sigh* Intoxicating
I think it's "How intoxicating"
@@kajxqeirscl i thought so too but i found the quote and it say "sighs Intoxicating"
Unleash the Scud! Thanks for the great videos, Jethild!
Request?
Next time do please make a lore video about the USA & China faction too.
BTW, excellent video about the GLA faction.
Thanks!
Yeah I plan to do similar videos like this one for USA and China factions. Long videos like this do take longer to make though, so unfortunately it will be awhile before I get to the other two. Plus I usually go back and forth between Generals related videos and the Tiberium related ones.
@@Jethild Hello I greatly enjoyed your fallout content, if you are doing that type of content again may I suggestion a Fallout New Vegas faction comparation NCR vs Legion Vs Mr House.
No one realized that the GLA are similar to ISIL?!
Yoo, a Generals lore video!? Lemme get my popcorn.
🍿
What a thorough video! I bow before you!
I hope we can expect same quality videos for the other factions.
Also really nice to see the original units since im used to playing quality improvement mods like Shockwave.
Yep both China and USA factions will get the same kind of video.
There is no quality mod other than Rise of the Reds
@@Jethild will you showcase each general as well?
@@WARthogBasilius Yep, I was initially going to include more detailed info about the GLA generals in this video, but once I realized that would make it well over an hour long I decided to save them for a future video. I didn't know how well a long video like this would be received but it seems like most people are enjoying it.
I also realized while making this video that I did not have enough hard drive space on my computer to handle all the gameplay footage I had recorded. So even if I wanted to include footage of the generals and their unique units, I just didn't have the space for it.
@@Jethild Sounds like you need either a bigger hard drive or an extra hard drive if your funds allow of course
Great video mate, looking forward to more like this.
Ditto
Dude this was so good. 50 minutes wasn't enough, I love the attention to details to every action or part of the structure/vehicles function. even though the Devs didn't meant anything by it just to put a game pattern, it's really nice that you added lore to it. I hope we could see more factions!
Some people who have not played Command and conquer generals (I ask why. If you do not like the modern setting, its game balance and set up is amazing) The shoes are great because they will move much much faster. WAy faster than the other resource gathering vehicles.
Damn dude... this is... really, really well put together. I especially love how the "loading bar" at the bottom corresponds with where you are/time elapsed within the video. This is really good.
Damn, why do I wish I could see General Lore videos but with the
Shockwave Chaos mod and you talking about the arsenal with a serious tone :D
Great video! GLA is my fav. Faction, but I'm looking forward to your future videos.
👍🏻
Author:"GLA General that wanted a weapon system that could destroy units and base building from afar but also carried high explosive warhead, would require a Scud Launcher."
Scud Launcher: [Evil Laugh]
I subscribed
Yep. Scud Launcher is my favourite unit and GLA is my favourite faction in C&C Generals.
Dude! This is sooo good! Keep it up!
This is my favorite Faction in generals so you just fished me in and made me subscribe
👍🏻
I've played the game for quite awhile years ago but never thought that the combat bike could be "swapped" with the other infantry units.
That would've opened a whole new door of for me to mess around in Skirmish.
Love the series, hope to see the same treatment for USA and China
As always, a very well detailed video, keep up the great work man, your videos are impressive!
👍🏻
Awesome video.
Peace through pow- ... I mean, for the GLA!
If we never get a Gen 2 we need a bald bearded general
Our Tiberium future has not yet arrived.

I always find it hilarious that the portrait for the Angry Mob was these two angry men and a slightly disgruntled old lady
The GLA, my very first faction to play in the entire Command and Conquer series.
With GLA
You can build anything
Just ask the sniper to shot one of the buldozer
This is amazing content
👍🏻
Nice Video, Hope to see more like this.
My man, I love the work you put in to making these videos. Ofcourse I myself had a great time, playing the game and commiting war crimes. But the crème de la crème for me is when I select the scud launcher and he laughs and shows us all how much he loves his work and commute.
Great video man! Ever thought about doing videos about the starcraft games, your style of videos mixed with those games would make great content
That could be interesting.
Another fantastic video. Well done Sir. Also if we count the information that was released before Generals 2 was canceled, Jarmen Kell survives and appears to take a more leadership role in the organization instead of just continuing to be a hired gun.
Yep, I read up on some of the Generals 2 stuff but ultimately decided to leave any of that out of the video since I don't personally consider cancelled games like that to be canon. But I do like the idea that he survived after the events of Zero Hour. Or you could also go with the theory that Jarmen Kell isn't a single man but is actually multiple men who just take on the name after the previous one dies.
@@Jethild Just like the Black Lotus agents of China. Can you do a lore video of a Generals Mod called Rise of the Reds? It has it's own way of continuing the Zero Hour story.
Right now I'm just focused on first party content in the Tiberium and Generals universes. I haven't played any mods related to any of the C&C games, but I know Rise of the Reds is one of the big ones for Generals.
Yes, good work. Always enjoyable to watch your videos, keep up the amazing work!
You forgot to mention that the GLA had some pretty bangin' soundtracks.
It’s a shame the world is too sensitive for a proper sequel
With the taliban taking over Afghanistan slowly and China rising to power...its too real lol
@@jasonlim6683 that is true, also the Ingame dates of the game are similar too.
@@HydratedBeans yeah, even the rushed evac of the Middle East is uncanny.
@@HydratedBeans China is already in talks with Kabul to intervene
@@jasonlim6683 Gla is not taliban you fool!
Nice review, enjoyed watching. But you didn't mention another toxin upgrade, called "Anthrax gamma", owned only by Dr. Thrax. This upgrade not only makes toxins more effective, but for some reason makes rockets of RPG soldiers and Stinger sights making more damage.
It's mentioned in the GLA Generals lore video so go check it out
18:34 i think they give each vehicle crew a tool kit to use scrap around them to repair their vehicles rather than giving them just a big pile of junk
That's also a good interpretation of it.
....How about the person at the back of the technical sitting duck when his driver got sniped? Are they being wooolooloo-ed into switching side?
@@johndexterzarate6663 probably just a game limitation caused by the fact that this rebel in the back is a part of a vehicle (or you could explain it as "gla uses advanced automatons that serve as the gunners on their vehicles, idk)
@@johndexterzarate6663 I imagine the opposing faction just uses their own infantry to man the guns. The in-game animation just doesn't show that.
@@ToriusHeart It's 100% a game limitation
