There's already been at least 3 threads about this game that I know of. I have farmed on every one of them, and will continue to do so.

Remeber, I still think Age of Mythology was a beter game, but this is still damn fun and pretty to look at.

Btw, I bought the terrorist box. I'm sure I've been red flagged in some secret data base

EDIT: I play under the name: JimmyPopAli

the game fucking blows

I can kill an entire army on the hardest difficulty setting with 3 fucking overlord tanks. 3 tanks! I can win any war with the muslim hero guy who can kill any unit with one shot, soldier or vehicle. That guy alone is 10x more powerful than the yuri's were in RA2 because he can convert as many units as he wants, as he simply shoots the driver of the vehicle and leaves it free for any one of your guys to hijack. Angry mobs with ak's can kill 3 tanks on their own alone, and the tanks each cost more than the mob to produce. The AI is a joke, there is no formation unless you group units and hotkey it, the whole "supply depot" resource thing is dumb... tiberium and ore were much better even if they are more far fetched. On top of it all the balance between armies and individual units is so out of whack it throws all elements of strategy out the window... just mass producing overlords/angry mobs/paladins will assure a victory.

emmer, you're obviously not playing against people

Every new RTS game has a winning combo at first. The SC/BW AI still has a weakness for mass crackling rush and guardians combo. It dosen't really matter, since virtually everyone plays RTS games vs other people anyway. C&C: Generals is no different. Gimp strategies tend to go the way of the dinosaur pretty fast against decent players.

I can't be bothered to.

Also, massing tanks is the way you beat every RTS game ever made in single player.

and on that note I die brokenhearted with a chest full of animated gunshot

good day

Don't get me started on periods. Millie gets all touchy with his feminine side and rags on me!
