SHOES! Are very important. I mean you'll set off a landmine faster without a food sole. Lol
@@Qardo also you get more efficient workers, which means faster SCUD storm spam >:)
"thank you for the new shoes" "these shoes fit nicely"
The GLA pays for Timberland work shoes. Nothing, but the finest for the workers.
I like my new shoes

TH-cam: hey, I see you played Zero Hour months ago-
Wait till the Chinese start supplying the Taliban with real biochemical weapons in revenge for false American accusations of using bioweapons.

@@-V___V- 2023 probably.
@@johndexterzarate6663 So, the taliban have acquired America’s military vehicles. I think that’s is in the campaign.
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...
Ah yes, my favorite faction in the entire game, solely because of the amount of warcrimes they can generate in every mission
Even as a faithful disciple of Nod I think the GLA has us beat.
@@lordfrostwind3151 Steady yourself, Brother. Tiberium will set us FREE.

They are imposters. There are many merc snipers with no names.

He is cosplaying Kane... or... hold on...
This dude`s from C&C... Kane is from C&C... does that mean... That GLA was working for NOD?
Maybe it's enemy stand
Jarmen Kell is not a one person
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.
It's been I think over a decade since I last played this and I still think about that audio clip frequently
Most games once I unlock the mob I stop using base infantry.
I used to play Sven Co-op and one of my favourite servers had a chat command to play this exact line. It was my favourite line when I used shop to buy ak-47
Best thing about it: it will always be relevant & my favorite line to call out loud when watching the news😂
Fifty minutes?! Strap in guys, this is gonna be good...
Fifty? Make it a 1 hour movie instead!
Fifty minutes is also broad but interesting. He made it great! :)
Yws
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
@@nicholaswallen8147 With Afghanistan now fully in control of the Taliban, I bet this game now has an eerie resemblance to our reality...
@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 sort of wished USA had a different builder than Bulldozer.
@M.Z.
You can snipe vehicle while Jarmen kell is on the bike. The only disadvantage you have is inability to use demo charge if you are demo general.
you change your mind often
For freedom
The workers broke my heart, upgrading them was a must for me.
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....
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 It was pretty obviously going to happen but CNC generals predates gulf war 2 lmao.
Except GLA used a sky beam that destroyed a US carrier, and Taliban relied on a delirious old man.
@@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.

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!"
I got to give GLA engineers/arms dealers some credit for their ability to modify a simple RPG-7 to shoot down USAF'S F22 and PLAAF'S J20(MIG1.44).
Do not understimate the good ol' RPG-7. Ask Iraqis insurgents, they were able to even defeat Abrams tanks with them
If you know when/where the self destruct fuze goes off, you can use it as crude flak especially against helos.
Man i love the GLA soundtrack.
🎼🎼 I think video game soundtracks are underrated.
@@RC-qv9in its actually pretty popular, majority of the soundtracks are used in tv shows and documentaries
@@guardiadecivil6777 huh, give us examples.
@@user-ie4tt1xp7j 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

Jarmen Kell: gets hit by a missle
Also Jarmen Kell: "Tis but a scratch "
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.
Do you if it makes any damage exploding on the Ground?
@@thecrank4572 I'm pretty surr it does! It's a kind of worthless amount of damage, but it's damage none the less.

@@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.
@@doggo_woo doesn’t matter if it’s a nuke or a sneeze, damage shall always be reported
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
@@Darraya55
I already put my pathfinders in the building and they still spot me. It not about leaving a pathfinder strolling in the open

The GLA is my favorite faction in Generals. Thank you so much for this! Their OST tracks are bangin'
Daesh used in one of their videos. I remember it being on the news once and they played a snippet that contained GLA music.
GLA 6 is the best one
The scrap upgrade system was so cool. I loved upgrading my quad cannons to wreak havoc at everything.

You can build anything
Just ask the sniper to shot one of the buldozer

I Love the Crowd.
What a perfect timing! Taliban conquered Afghanistan and this video got recommended.
"You want your troops to eh, glow in the dark? Heh, _build more then!!_ "
Breathe in and out...feel better? * maniac laugh*
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.
New Afghan lore just dropped!
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"
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.
At 35:45, maybe Jarman Kell is like the "dread pirate Roberts" in that the name is passed down from generation to generation.
That is certainly another possibility as well.
@@Jethild are you gonna make Tiberum Weapons for Command and conquer??
@@Jethild one thing you should include is that GLA when they have power they can go faster and keep training more troops to overwhelmed them.
@@canon07 Yeah that topic is on the list.
I think he never went in to battle personally, he just has a steady supply of guys who look sorta like him that he sends out.
Man, your production has skyrocketed, and it was already really impressive.
👍🏻
Agreed
This lore is dedicated to the brave mujahideen fighters of Afghanistan
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't you know we canceled Rambo, he was a symbol of Imperialist expansion.
GLA should have the horse RPG troops from Rambo 3 and the Timothy Daltom Bond flick
Yes indeed
@@Marinealver That was an edited text, the actual text doesn't even reference Mujahideen.
Talibs and ISIS: Who are you?
GLA: I am you but better.
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!
Ooooo! I can’t wait to see the rest of the generals lore.
Ditto
There isn’t much…. The most interesting stuff is about the individual generals and the GLA.
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.
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!
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.
:)
There's Generals evolution, if you don't mind the less Starcraft-y mechanics Generals is known for...
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.
i see you, iron, are a true gla supersoldier in war thunder huh
"Ak47 for everyone!"
Yeah, no GLA lore overview would be complete without putting that line in. Keep up the great work.
What about my shoes?
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.
A well written Command and Conquer series is a must.
True.
an animated show would be nice.
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?
No power plants and cheaper units is what makes the GLA fun to play as. They aren’t bound by to many restrictions and thus can be a thorn in the side if left alone for to long.
It's good to play GLA is yeah you can to anywhere and best of us you don't need to get power but getting power is btr for glad can faster production and can overwhelmed them by numbers.
The only disadvantage they have is if they are in the long game.
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.

I always find it hilarious that the portrait for the Angry Mob was these two angry men and a slightly disgruntled old lady
lore about my favorite faction? yes please!
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!
👍🏻
Love the top down shot of the GLA Base at 12:45! Keep it up mate. Really shows how hard it is to actually spot GLA activity in an area.
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! :)
Ditto that!
The GLA was the most distinctive of the 3. The GLA holes and no power made the vastly different from US and China.
GLA units may be weak when in small numbers or individual. But they're strong and OP when attacking in large numbers.
I hope you guys have been looking at the loading bar while the video essay is in progress
I think the loading bar is a nice touch.
Me too!
Always figured the radar van was a repurposed press vehicle.
That makes sense.
The press always seems to be on their side.
Last I was this early, Tanya was played by Kari Wuhrer.
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.
Manual for a winning a war against a technological superior enemy:
-Get you workers some shoes
-AK47 for everyone!
-Victory
Holy shit the amount of editing, how well it's put together, information and presentation. Absolutely amazing and well done!
The aerial view of GLA base is nice touch
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
Amazing job you did justice for my favourite faction in the Generals universe...my compliments...
👍🏻
Seeing as what just happen in the real world and this being uploaded at almost the same time
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
You forgot to mention that the GLA had some pretty bangin' soundtracks.
I've met a good amount of people who say that Generals doesn't feel like a real Command&Conquer's game, and not gonna lie, I have to agree, but I cannot for the life of me pinpoint what separates it from the others, other than the setting.
HOWEVER, it is a great game in its own right, and one I still enjoy to this day.
Babe, wake up, monthly Jethild video. Awesome as always man. Never a bad time to for Generals!
I will never not find the GLA Bomb Truck voice saying "GLA postal service" funny.
I'm so happy to see some generals lore exploration and just seeing footage makes me want to start it up again even if it involves Origin.
Bro look into generals evolution if you want some generals multiplayer
Peepeepoopoo EA bad
Lol steam ftw
The timing with current events is spot on.
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.
This is amazing content
👍🏻
These guys had the most engaging and immersive infantry mechanics. And.. historically accurate.
The wait was worth it all hail the rule of Jethilde . Ps GLA rules forever

I feel you brother me being left out scraps after allies raid
Yoo, a Generals lore video!? Lemme get my popcorn.
🍿
time to drop everything and watch commander jethild once again
Good idea. 💡
Ah yes, the faction that showed 9 year old me the concept of "warcrimes"
Since P26/40 was an extremely rare tank(sadly for italians), I've always seen Scorpion as combination of WWII era medium tanks and its concept art aka heavily weaponized M113. So to me Scorpion represent all AFVs saved from literal piles of scrap, be they improvized like adding a turret to old APC or something like Sherman or T-34-85.
Marauder on the other hand seems like a casemate SPG on chassis of tank that GLA couldn't fully repair. The way stock one looks with its gun, hull and tracks reminded me of Centurion with 20 pounder so that's what I viewed it as - a collection of SPGs based on Centurions, T-55's, T-62's, Type 59's and various M46-48's. And I guess higher levels of upgrades represented strapping MODERN weaponry salvaged from other tanks to those hulls. That's why they don't have rotating turrets - turret rings of old tanks were too narrow thus necessitating the use of casemate to mount modern 120-125mm tank guns.
P.S.: I also regarded Crusader as M-60-2000 or some other modification of M-60 while Paladin is basically M1A3.
No idea what Overlord can represent:(
Overlord is a pretty much hypothetical design since her dual cannons are located at the sides of the tank and are significantly distant from eachother;
I assume accuracy would be the main issue of such design and others like recoil control (forces being applied to the sides instead of the center of mass) , stabilization, etc.
@@sinaa8652 the only reason I can envision Overlord's existence as a very, VERY rushed job to get more powerful canon on a tank. Let me explain in too much detail.
Battlemasters are basically various Type59/69/80/88 models and variation depending on upgrades. They are armed with either a
1)knock off of soviet 100mm D-10T2S from T-55A with a bit of tech from 115mm U-5TS from T-62 sprinkled on top OR
2)Norinco's clone of british 105mm L7.
In the face of new western tanks with 120mm guns and soviet/russian with 125mm ones that's a bit lacking. Remember, the game was designed before ZTZ96/99 entered production, service and even became public. So PLA is in a bit of a pickle. And then suddenly GLA enters the field and starts using stolen soviet equipment en masse. Who's to say that they won't roll out T-72 next?
China needs to answer, at least for propaganda purposes!
And that's where Overlord comes into play. Remember, it first appears on Beijing parade mission. It was a tank likely made solely to calm the population and be used for propaganda. But then Beijing got nuked. With no way to finish ZTZ96/99 on time, they pushed what they had into service. And that was Overlord. Weird compromise that survived nuclear attack and drove GLA forces back.
As to what Overlord is:
I believe that it's two Type 88's welded together with twin power pack and with heavy naval turret on top. Remember, they didn't have 125mm gun and autoloaders ready yet. So they took the best from what they had and that was 130mm AK-130 gun. Autoloader for it was too big for a tank so they opted for manual loading and turret that was heavily inspired by british DP 5.25" and 6" QF mountings.
Once again it's a rushed propaganda tank that became a surprise powerhouse and wouldn't be in service had Beijing was intact... and majority of PLA high command dead in same attack by GLA.
But that's just mine way to invent logical reason for twin barrel quad track superheavy tank to exist.
@@TheArklyte I'll admit, I had a hard time reading through the names and models you mentioned lol; I'm not a tank/warfare geek but I did understand your main points.
Anyways, I still remember how amazed and excited I got the first time that I saw the Overlord in the parade back when I was a kid lol.
And I remember I got really sad when it got nuked out of existence and I couldn't build it afterwards; Then I uncovered those 2 surviving overlords somewhere in the south I literally got goosebumps as if I had found the ultimate easteregg/secret.
Good Ol' memories
@@sinaa8652 tank powered by sheer middle finger energy to the universe that wants it dead:D
YES FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this lore.
Awesome! I've always wanted to see C&C Generals lore videos!
Isn’t it nice when you get what you’ve always wanted?
There is a big similarities between building design of gla and that of north African architecture especially algerian and marrocan ones and there tactics reminds me of GIA tactics in the algerian 90's civil war
An hour long video? You spoil us.
It’s nice to be spoiled every once in a while.
Always remember the battle cry my brothers "AK 47S FOR EVERYONE"
Prince Kassad was a leader of a cell called "Cobra"... so, you could say he was a Cobra Commander?
Funny
No wonder he always lost.
Yes!! Finally dipping into the Generals lore! Thank you Jethild! Looking forward to any more Generals videos you might make!
"Workers" is a nice way of saying slaves.

My favourite CnC faction (followed by the Brotherhood of NOD).
- No power required, saves space
- Jarmen Kell (snipe a bulldozer; get another faction base)
- Scud Storm, best superweapon overall
- Base rebuilds itself after being destroyed
- Extremely versatile, units upgrade themselves by looting caches
- Cheap units, can easily spam technicals and quad cannons
- Harass approaching enemies with demo traps
- Catchy battle theme
- AK-47 and shoes for everyone
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.
👍🏻
The scorpion tank is a mix of old soviet t70ies and italian m13/39 tanks and have some variation aswell, some looks like they are based of the soviet t-26 and us made m3 stuart light tanks
Interesting point about the scorpion tanks Jethild. I would think they based them more on the T34 since they were numerously produced by the soviets and also found their way in the middle east.
This could also certainly be true. It just seemed to me that the p26/40 was what the Scorpion most resembled in comparison to other WW2 tanks. Funnily enough though, in the original concept art, the Scorpion actually looked like an M113 APC.
@@Jethild Ah I see why you made your comparison then. Awesome work nonetheless, looking forward to your coverage of the other factions. Thanks for answering my comment!
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! 🪖
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?!
My first game and still one of my favorites. Amazing game, deserves a sequel.
