Jordan has a history of anihilating his enemies, not only in the real world, but on computer games as well.
His most accomplished record on a single video game is on Command & Conquer Generals (Zero Hour). He is a Major in that
game. So he would like to share a few tips with you...
Hint: Generate lots of cash
To have
a steady flow of cash, build/train lots of Supply Dropzones, Hackers or Black Markets.
Network
of Repair
When playing as GLA, build a network and when your units are damaged, place
them in the network and take them out. You will notice that they will have recovered about a quarter of their health. Repeat
to get better results.
Play as Russia
Bring up the command
console then type the following to get units with names from some of the old Command and Conquer game titles: Russia:Yuri_Relived
Hint: Traps
When playing as GLA,
build about 3 or 4 marauder tanks, stinger sites and an underground network. When unfortunate enemy vehicles pass, they will
be blown up by the stingers. Send in the maraudeur tanks tanks to scavange the wreck. If they collect 2 wrecks each, they
will all get double cannons. When they have double cannons, place them in the network. Now build an underground network in
front of an enemy base and it will be attacked by the insane AI. Get the marauder tanks out of there to defend the network.
After having them blow up the invaders, send them back, and they will get full health. Repeat this over and over again and
you will get promotions very quickly. When the marauder tanks have full promotions, they are virtually invincible. They destroy
enemy bases as easily as they destroy tanks. Build demo traps near it as well if you like.
Hint: Well placed defences
When
you build defences, always try to build them at the top of cliffs on each side of the road to your base (these cliffs are
not in all maps). Here, they are very hard to get and by the time the tanks get in range, they will be reduced to scrap metal.
Hint: Multiplayer allies
When you are
playing a multiplayer game, if there are two allies, make one of them GLA. Now build a tunnel network beside your friend and
give him troopers and vehicles.
Hint: Attack from behind
When playing skirmish, always try to attack from the back of the base. Chinooks are the most useful tool in
transporting troops and tanks to the back of an enemy base. The AI will hardly attack you there. now blow out their powerplants,
then supply docks and then destroy construction vehicles. From there you can destroy anything that belongs to the enemy, and
you've won!
Ghost town
Make your base invisible
by doing the following. Bring down console, then type in ghost town.
Hint: Build
order
Here is a suggested order in which you can build your base so that you get
lots of money as quickly as possible. Note that this is only one method, and that there are plenty of other build orders that
are just as good.
Deploy the Moveable Construction Vehicle, then build power, barracks, refinery, power, weapons factory,
then harvester (1 or 2). You should now be earning a steady income which you can build upon.
Activate all cheats
Bring up the map, click on it, then type: allcheats
Change weapon cost
Edit the INI.big file in your game directory using a hex editor. Do not
change the length of the file or the game will not work. Just overwrite the text as required.
For Example:
Search
for "BuildCost" and overwrite it:
"BuildCost = 0000"
Start game with more money
Open "INI.big" in the generals program folder. Using a Hex editor, find
"InitialStartingCash". Normally you start with 10000 but you can change that to anything up to 99999. Don't add any more text
as this will change the file size. Before saving the new "INI.big" file make sure you have deleted the original one or the
game will not start properly. If you mess it up, copy across from your generals CD "INI.big" from the DATA1 file and start
again.
Hope I was a help to all of you.
