      Each unit and strategy in C&C has their own countermeasure, and infantry general is not exeption.
      But comparing with other Chineese generals, infantry general has his most effective units relatively early. and time is the most important in multiplayer games.

  • @hentaioverwhelming
    @hentaioverwhelming ปีที่แล้ว +29

    As a Chinese American, when I first played C&C Generals Zero Hour and came across these 3 Chinese generals, the first thing that came to my mind was that their names are puns. The way the Chinese general's names are romanized leads me to believe that they used the Wade-Giles standard instead of the Pinyin standard. I typically use the Pinyin standard since that was the standard that I was introduced to first before Romance of the Three Kingdoms demonstrated that there was a competing standard (Wade-Giles).
    The infantry general's name, Shin Fai, is a derivation of Bing Fa (兵法), as in Sun Tzu Bing Fa (Sun Tzu's Art of War). In Chinese, 兵 means soldier and 法 means law/procedure/rule so the two words together literally means "how to use soldiers" which we shorthand to military strategy/tactics. The other Chinese derivation that I've seen is Jun Fa ( 軍法 ) [pronounced as Jin Fa] which means army/military law.
    The tank general, Ta Hun Kwai, is the most obvious pun because it is straight up Chinese ( 他很快 ) and literally means "he is very fast".
    The nuke general, Tsing Shi Tao, is apparently a pun for the word "green stones" ( 青石头 ) and pronounced as "Qing Shi Tou". Thanks to pop culture, anything nuclear or radioactive is often depicted as glowing green, implying that uranium is a green ore (I personally lean towards Tiberium because this is a Command and Conquer spinoff).

    That's really weird cause in practice his real strength is combined arms. Also his lines indicate swarms but his actual tactics are very quality over quantity. With the pricy minigunner and the expensive bunker vehicles you can't just swarm your enemy.

      You could argue that him being able to train 8 minigunners inside the assult transport at a time can be considered horde tactic, also the fact that his units comes with nationalism preinstalled.
      Or it could be just the developers didn't talk and agree on a single vision, probably also the reason why his general's challenge was scraped.
      I love how the Shockwave mod rectified that by allowing him to build one platoon at a time, making it actual horde tactic, a lot closer to lore lol

      @@davidstuckey9289 A humvee with two pathfinders, 3 missile defenders, and the TOW missile upgrade would still crush it though. The difference is that you need a Generals promotion to unlock the pathfinder and the strategy center to unlock the TOW missiles. The Assault Transport not only allows infantry to fire out (unlike the standard variant,) It comes loaded with 8 minigunners for less money then it would cost to train them individually at the barracks (plus you get a cool transport to drive them around the map in.) If you spend the difference on tank hunters to round out it's frankly awesome anti-infantry/anti-air capabilities with anti vehicle support and you have a relatively inexpensive, nearly unstoppable apc that can be built immediately after building your war factory, and it's easy to see why he owns the early game. Combine that with the fact that minigunners use bullets instead of missiles which render USA countermeasures and point defense lasers impotent, and that GLA hijackers are wasted trying to capture it and you have a vehicle that's surprising viable well into the late game (assuming your opponent survives that long. Severely underrated general IMHO.

    Little Tip:
    When you're using Tank General and your neighbor enemy is Nuke General, don't click/choose Battlemaster Elite Training. Capture the War Factory or Tank General Command Center, then choose the Battlemaster Elite Training. Both factions now can enjoy the Elite Battlemaster. Sometimes, the "Nuke" Battle Master tank can be affected by Auto-Loader, Uranium Shells, and Uranium Tanks Upgrade.

    • @dracmeister
      @dracmeister 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Nuke Battlemasters do not get the benefits of Autoloader, nor get the benefits of Elite Battlemaster Training.
      Conversely, Tank General Battlemasters do not get Uranium Shells or Nuclear Tanks upgrade unless you build a Tank General Nuclear Missile.
      There's a lot more to this but, the reason you cannot just capture and mix and match technologies is because of how the game treats the individual subfactions: All of them are different objects.
      Tank General's War Factory is not the same as Nuke General's or even Infantry General's.
      You'll notice when you're any of the three Generals above and you're going for Propaganda tech, like say: you built a Nuke General's Propaganda Center, you only unlock Nuke General's Propaganda tech not Infantry General's or Tank General's and not even regular China's.
      Yes, this game is wacky like that, and I don't agree how its built but hey Zero Hour was rushed out to release; it's not like RA2 where every Allied/Soviet faction share buildings and prerequisites.

    Continuing from the GLA Generals video, Fai's General's Challenge map is essentially a giant bunker, a walled-off base only accessible by a few well-guarded bridges fortified by Gatling Cannons, Bunkers, and Artillery Platforms. Resources are scarce, with every supply pile outside your base being small and essentially having no space to build a supply center next to. Fai also has a Nuclear Missile Silo that he'll use against your base.

    You can definitely tell some of the Generals got more love than others, not even counting some not showing up at all in challenge, but even in hard difficulty the Air Force and Tank generals were a cake walk, meanwhile ones like the nuke general were an absolute nightmare. Think if General Kwai had some massive unique war factories just churning out battle masters that you had to destroy as well as tank bunkers like Yuri had surrounding and manned within his base so you couldn't just rush him to death? I don't know how to fix General Granger to make his base more of a proper challenge.

      More so that they don't really have any coherent strategy. They just have a theme and nothing more.
      Kwai's bonus really is irrelevant since if a large group of battlemasters get's within range they will obliterate the target anyway. Their main issue is getting close enough.

Slowly integrate supply points to improve your economy and eventually with enough resources and superior air units you’ll be able to build a few super weapons to break through his defenses (aurora bombers work great too)
      His constant MiG raids are annoying but building enough Avengers units are a good counter
      China strategy: the initial strategy is building strong enough defenses at the three directions armor units and infantry will attack Bunkers filled with rocket solders will dispatch armor . And Gatling guns will take care of soldiers. (I favor building two full bunkers and two Gatling cannons at each point) build enough Gatling tanks to counter the constant Mig attacks and build a few ECM tanks to divert missiles
      Build an internet center and continue to pump out hackers to build your economy up. The Nuke Generals Overlords are a good offensive option once you gain the upper hand (Nuke cannons will decimate his defenses )
      Infantry General is more tricky with a lack of heavy armor , but Nuke cannons armed with neutron shells can disable Emperor tanks and allow you to add them to your arsenal and eventually gain enough to mount an offensive counter attack
      GLA strategy : Building three palaces filled with rocket soldiers is key in keeping the armor units at bay , build enough quad cannons to counter infantry and Mig attacks . One of the most important units will be Jarmen Kell as his ability to disable Emperor tanks and adding them to your arsenal is key to winning. The bounty ability will have enough resources coming in with his endless rush of armor units . Build a few SCUD storms and use them to decimate his defenses at the entrance of his base .

      The Shockwave mod fixed some issues with particular generals but left others.
      One for infantry general is that you can't transport artillery units across water, and this especially becomes a problem against General Alexander. Would've been better if they made the Gattling APC amphibious so you could transport siege infantry inside it.

    Kwai I always found obnoxious to fight against. Also I think he is one of the worst since his auto loader really doesn't do much. When a large number of Battlemasters get within range they will obliterate any target. Their main issue is their thin armor and short range which can cause them to become destroyed before they get into range.
    I actually think Tau has better battlemasters in that they are faster and his upgrade makes them not damage each other anymore.

      Fay is pretty strong though with the superhackers and super lotus can absolutely devastating if you opponent is distracted. The minigunners make him highly resistant to air attacks.
      Tau though kind of strong everywhere. His infantry are his weakest element and that's only cause they aren't better than vanilla. The only one who matches him in power I think is the superweapon general. Her ability take out aircraft and vehicles in pretty much one shot with her defenses and being able to buy a particle cannon for 2500 is just plain broken.
