I know that it is a cut feature, but in the 5th Campaign GLA Mission for Zero Hour the player was supposed to go up against General Granger.

Townes: How can you be winning?! This isn't how it played out in the simulation! Clone Troopers: First time?

It's weird how we see no Infantry variations between any of the US generals. You'd think Alexander being a Marine general would have resulted in her soldiers being replaced with Marines? Or perhaps Townes replacing his missile infantry with a hand held laser cannon (like the Spartan laser from Halo). In addition, I know Alexander is the Superweapon general but feels like the particle cannon could easily work with Townes with his laser focus stuff. Overall it feels like the devs were struggling to think of variations for the US factions compared to the GLA and China factions. Hell China seemed to get the best deal with an Infantry and Tank focus generals while GLA has the most uniqueness due to being unorthodox.

Fun fact, if you try to capture Alexander's particle cannon in the southeast, she'll sell off said particle cannon and have an oddly ominous and hysterical laugh like she pulled the biggest prank ever.

“Laser require a lot of power!” Laser General was my favorite USA faction to play as, but, I still prefer China Nuke General overall. Basically, Nuke for China, Toxin for GLA and Laser for USA were all my favorite picks.

"Well you look at that, U.S. military spending at its best!" Thank you for another high-quality material Jethild! People like you keeps C&C community alive.

8:32 Ah yes, the famous snow-covered mountains of Houston, Texas.

Correction at 3:56 for the Comanches. They still maintain their stealth while moving, only breaking it when firing their weapons. I also forgot to mention that the King Raptor could detect stealth units.

Most considerate of every general to provide a nice spot of land and supplies for their opponents to set up shop at.

General Alexander was probably my favorite because I enjoyed just turtling and Aurora bombing enemies into submission. Still think she should have had access to tanks, it fits so well with her play style.

One more detail for General Alexanders' Particle Beam. It moves around way faster than an ordinary Particle Beam Cannon, while with the ordinary Beam you are probably going to hit a small line's worth of targets, with the Pink Beam you are going to make zigzag lines hitting multiple targets because it moves so much faster.

Fun little tidbit about Townes' reactors is that they produce 8 energy. Which is only 2 less than a Nuclear Reactor. If you upgrade Townes' reactors, that's 16 energy! Which more than Superweapon General's upgraded Advanced Cold Fusion Reactors(15 energy) and equal to Tao's Advanced Nuclear Reactor.

Some sources say that Malcolm is located somewhere in Europe. Somewhere with mountains.

I love all of these dude. So high production. Highly anticipated, I wish it gets more views. Also hell yeah team USA

Granger can literally command the us navy to send into his battlefield some raptors from the USS Olympia. I bet he's a unified combatant commander, and that's a big deal since it means you can command units from Army, Air force, or Navy, or whatever (so long as more than 1 service branch), usually for missions within your area of responsibility. This means Granger not only has more responsibility but also more influence in the US military than Townes or Alexander. Also, if ever you say "it sucks because the generals do not represent the triad of Army, Air Force and Navy", well, the Marines are actually under the supervision of the Department of the Navy. Alexander technically is from the Navy.

Rant/Tangent: Hey, listen... Just because Granger and Alexander don't use tanks, don't mean they can ignore their mechanized infantry... That's why Granger's default Reinforcement Pad vehicle is the Humvee... Don't understand why Alexander's Marines don't use tanks though, besides maintaining her flawless logistics...

I seriously love this channel. So much nostalgia. The franchise doesn't get the love it deserves, but channels like these do it justice. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

Granger gonna be pain in ass if he's utilize every arsenal he got

Unused concepts : - Granger originally had Hypersonic Aurora which is even faster than the standard Aurora - Alexander originally was supposed to have ICBM silo and Tomahawk storm(effectively USA version of Nuke Silo and SCUD Storm respectively) - General Townes used to have Laser Paladin, basically Laser Crusader but stronger

If you try capture or attacking Alexander's Patricle cannon on the bottom right of the map in hard mode I think she will sell it. I suggest disable the particle cannon with a microwave tank before capturing it, since generals can't sell buildings that are disabled by microwave tanks

5:46 there is actually a bug in the game where if you hold "CTRL" and click with the combat Chinook while it has vehicles and at least 1 infantry unit in it, all units can open fire! in the video i've seen the infantry unit was a rocket defender so as far as i know it could just be with them, but man, it's quite a sight watching scud and tomahawk missiles come out of a Chinook XD

I just want you to know that I very appreciate your deep work! Know no one who does something like this.

Um, you messed up the distinction between the Aurora and the Aurora Alpha. Both have hypersonic speed that makes them untouchable by AA fire, but the Aurora Alpha only loses that protection while it's turning around and landing, regaining its invulnerability during its return flight.

The U.S. generals are the most OP. So now we are waiting for generals from Shockwave mod and also Russia and ECA from Rise of the Reds 💪

Ironic that the F22 is not stealth even though it is far stealthier in real life than the F117. In game if should have been a F16 or F15 instead to make sense.

The EMP Patriot is the stuff of nightmares when combined with Pathfinders or any other anti-infantry unit and some form of anti-stealth unit as well.

I freakin love your videos. Nothing better than sipping a beer and listening to C&C lore. I've learned so much about GDI and NOD;l these General lore videos are also very informative. Thank you for everything. I always look foward to these videos.

a video so fresh it's missing its thumbnail i still love your content in general also playing as townes with search and destroy is the deadliest combo in the game and you can't convince me otherwise

Almost 25k subscribers! Yay!

I was waiting for the video, thank you for all the effort you put into your work!

It’s a damn shame the generals for all factions wasn’t more utilized in the campaign

my favorite general was the laser one ah the memories, wish they did a remake with new models etc

A good video to watch on my Friday at work keep up the great content.

This is a fantastic video collection Jethild!! I love this game to death so you have my eternal gratitude for giving it so much love and care!!! The Airforce General is my favourite General in Zero Hour, function is yours?

Hey, Hey!!!! Been looking forward to this for a while! Great work as always!

I really wish we saw General Ironsides who I believe was going to be either a boss General like the Tigress or the US Tank General.

Yes I was waiting for this

C&C Generals was one of the first video games I ever played, it is one of my most loved games.

You are the best maaan, we want more videos like this

Thanks for making these

I already know this will be worth the wait!

Well made video. Appreciate your superb work!

Your helping new people potentially become fans of C&C. Keep up the good work.

Another amazing video

Beautiful work as always keeping Command and Conquer alive.

Finally been waiting for your next generals video. Love your content man. Can't wait for more!!

there is nothing more terrifying in Generals than seeing a bunch of aurora alphas screaming towards your base

Love these videos. Keep it up!

20 years later still waiting for sequel

Another video I like without even watching a second

Top quality as always

Well my friend. I cannot wait for you to go over the story of this beautiful game. I practically grew up with it and its so satisfying to see at least one other person talking about it.

i've been waiting for this

If only this game was available on steam, that would be so great for those not wanting to buy the whole collection just for one game. But either way these videos help shine light how ridiculous all of the factions are, from China's Dragon Tanks and Nuke Cannons to GLA Bomb Trucks and Terrorists and of course the USA Partical Cannon and Tomahawk Missile launcher, this was probably Command and Conquer at it's best it's so hilariously cheesy and so freaking awesome! And these videos are amazing too, you help keep the small(relatively compared to the other two series) fanbase alive. You really did amazing jobs on all the videos, they're very entertaining and informative. You've done a great job on showing us the Command and Conquer universe for those who can't play the games, and even to those that can but would like to see more and everything they do know explain in greater detail. Keep up the great work, we all appreciate you and your effort on making these videos.

The only way to defeat Granger as Tao i could find is to spam all types of AA in the beggining, and then, make MIGs, when they're upgraded, a single strike of four can destroy an airfield.

Fun fact = CnCGenerals release date (2002) is nearer to Super Mario first released time (1985), than to this present year (2022)

Glad to have seen these videos before getting into the game.

Fun note, even in the Shockwave mod, Townes is the only USA General out of the 4 who had modified Crusaders and Paladins. Playing the Laser General grants you access to the already existent Laser Crusader, as well as the new Laser Paladin.

Love it thanks bro 😎

Excellent!

Yesssssss i was craveing more lore and then I see this

Just a little reminder. This game is 19 years old (base game). Nice to see how people enjoying it even today

The Commanche had a way better career in fiction compared to real life.

It’s finally here!!! Woohoo!

omg a notification from Jethild POGCHAMP

This is amazing as always, now do Mental Omega Faction lore.

This guy still making CnC lore videos in 2022 is a legend.

I like using the Chinese Infantry General. The troops get mini guns and the Helix is available really early on. Add a battle bunker and fill it with two mini gunners and six rocket soldiers, it’s a flying death machine. Great for picking up oil derricks early, drop off a mini gunner and the Helix runs defense during the capture. They aren’t great against anti air, and the Helix itself is difficult to level, it’s slow, and when it’s destroyed you lose everyone inside, but they can be cranked out and filled pretty quickly. Great for a quick early game win.

That Townes mission was one of my favorites, the darkness of the map was cool and the laser defensive weapon was so OP

I need to play this game again

A very nice video I would like to see a video about the game story

G.Malcolm: master of planes but he desagrade the ground. Coward Americans, figth in the ground! G.Alexander: master of ultimate tecnology but she was not stop to spam the atack with aurora alpha in your base. Stop to destroy my barraks and war factory… G.Townes: masters of laser but all your army was desconect if he don’t have power. For bad lucky the disconect opcion don’t exist in CNCgenerals xD

Flawless video as always Commander/General Jethild! Seems like you're all done with this series eh? What's next? My recommendation? Company of Heroes (1 and 2)! And you could call us Commanders in the Intros as well!

Laser General was always my favorite

bro you are amazing

Great work thank yoU

Huh. And here I am playing a challenge as the Air Force general

Let's go new video

That was quick.

you are the best!

I love your videos However, one small detail I would like to add For the airforce general, the king raptor can actually detect stealth as well as all the upgrades you mentioned

This was a honorable journey and here it ends i hope you do more generals of generals lore let this not be the end of this epic game

by the power of malcolm, alexis and pinpoint i will like and comment on this video (already subbed, so)

I feel like General Challenges are exactly that, UNSC simulations/training exercises meant to better prepare in case GLA resurfaces again.

3:52 This was exactly what the Comanche would've been, a stealth gunship replacement for the Apache... Unfortunately, as I've mentioned in the US overview, the Comanche project was scrapped and the Apache is still reliable even without stealth so oh well, pipe dream... As least the game acknowledges its existence... 11:32 So basically it fires a volley of 4 MIM-104 "Patriot" Missiles modified with EMP warheads... 12:02 That and her logistics is just that flawless... Don't make sense for the whole increase in vehicle production costs though... Seriously, $850 for a Humvee?... 🤨 13:07 Actually, the Aurora Alpha can maintain supersonic speed during the return flight, only slowing down to make turns aka after dropping its payload and during landing... 14:06 Again owing to her flawless logistics, requesting the aid of Special Forces(such as a commando like Burton) is that easy... 14:30 Wait, I thought her home front base of operations is in Camp Franklin?... 17:30 Thanks to the map layout, in order to directly assault the base's outer perimeter, you'll need transports... Chinooks for Townes or Granger, Helixes for the Chinese Generals, and for the GLA Generals, they start with the Sneak Attack already available like in "On the Waterfront"... But considering the whole outer perimeter is littered with EMP Patriot Launchers, unless you're Granger, God help you. 18:42 "US Army War College"... Wouldn't it be easy to just say West Point, EA?... 😑 20:13 Think of it as the Generals version of the Allies' Prism Tank, without the laser refracting to other targets... There's a reason Townes don't use Tomahawk Launchers, *THEY'RE* the siege units... 21:26 According to supplemental unofficial sources, there's a reason for all that(and the reason why you're briefed about the defenses)... Townes got so fed up of all the shortcomings after the total US pullout in Europe that he decided to just shut himself off inside Fort Union and turned its entire laser defense system against *ANYTHING* military related, effectively going rogue... 24:09 "Particle Cannon... I wonder what happens if we cross the beams."

9 Generals, but there is another, and the tigress is not intimidated by any of the 9.

Oh, yeah! I've waited for this part of the story!

so, with C&C settled, how about the next discussion be about Supreme Commander ???

Best weakness is use a fake super weapon 23:45 if on hard mode against townes.

You should make videos about cut generals. Like ironside or deathstrike. On shockwave mode they re op

Wait what? I was 10 days late for this? Forgive me Jethild for I have sinned

Sweet!

There was one thing with the Combat Chinooks that you missed or perhaps not even aware of. If Rangers equipped with the flash bang and with it set as primary attack mode enters the Chinook, the Chinook effectively becomes a flying building clearer and can pass over a city infested with garrisoned enemy troops and clear them out in seconds or a minute or two depending on the size of the city.

this is so recent the thumbnail isnt even loaded

When fighting Alexis as the GLA, you get the Sneak Attack General Power so that you can Island Hop as the GLA lack Air assists to move around the map. She also doesn't like it when you capture her Particle Cannon near the starting areas

General Townes has predator drones under the ramps of his base. They cannot be targeted. So he is very good at detecting stealth units that are attacking. Also, you can hear his voice when the tomahawk strike occurs in the USA campaign against Dr. Thrax.

Man Burton barely gets any appreciation from the other general's

What a Blast from the Past, Love It. 👍🇬🇧👍I don't suppose we can still safley download Generals Zero Hour I'd love to hear ""Particle Cannons Ready" again ?

I wish Townes didn't have 90% of his unique stuff cut from the final game.
