CNC Zero Hour

I won a game using this strat.

very helpful. i am a stealth general in preferance, so now i know what to look for.

Guilty of foot in mouth. Last night i tried this strat as an AFG, and i won like 4 games in a row.

Hi fellows,

I'm new in the game and forums. I read the topic and took a practise-game agains hard AI stealth. I'm sure it won't be that eazy against other player, but good training to see the general view.
My biggest challenge was to observe and build the base and control KRs while combating with humvees. Maybe biggest weakness imo was that I had lots of unused money during the game.
Id like to hear your oppinion about my game, what should I improve and anything els youd like to comment about my game?

Hi, and welcome to the forums. I am glad you started playing this game, it is a nice one. I have not watched the replay becuase it is against AI, therefore you cannot draw any meaningful conclusions. Play online against real opponents and post in the replay section for comments. Usually there is no need to bump old threads.

some easy to learn tactics, which i think are the most effective in each case

gla:

if your enemy is any gla its very important to place the spydrone right.
then you will be able to see in the most cases if he goes dual warf or build a rax

- if gla build a armsdealer+rax :
build a energy- rax- 1 supply(build one more chinook) and a warfac -> buy some mds ,but keep enough money to afford the Combat nooks-> sell the warfactory after you ordered two combat nooks, to have more money for MDs->keep buying MDs and two rangers(to kill rpgs)-spend all your money on this-> load them into your CCnooks, send one ordinary chinook along with your combat nooks for extra missle defence support and attack

- if gla builds 2 armsdealers:
same build order as dual combat chinook tactic but without selling the warfactory.
-> dozer drop gla supply and try to kill workers ->> folllowed by 2 humvees with mds and an ambulance.
if gla decide to go techspam add a combat chinook to your army.

-if you unsure about gla going dual AD or AD+rax , because of wrong spydone placement or strange gla build order you better go humvee without dozerdrop.


China:

vs tank general :
build energy-choose carpet instead of spydrone at the start of the game.try to build compact base with 1 supply rax and warfac very next to the supply. -> build fast strat center. stay alive till you are able to pick search and destroy+ scan in the strat center and have the carpet to kill the warfactory.

vs ChinaV/Nuke:
Dont find many replays on it. But if you build rax in middle-> md spam-> and then put your mds in 2 humvees + ambo you will be able to destroy his whole base most likely. Some call it lame, but it is very effective

the above china tactics dont work vs inf, i struggle vs inf most of the times and dont find replays .
when i self got inf in random , i got owned easy by [OoE]Excal, who did send mds and fast flashbang rangers in mid. and build an airfield with raptors and firebases with men in it(md,rangers with flashbangs) on the flanks.


vs usa/lazer/sw

well this matchup is a freewin if you just do a combatnook or fast a fast strat center. air is much stronger than these armys. even if you play bad, you should win in most cases

air mirror:
this matchup is pretty hard, as it requires lots of micro.
the best tactic is two airfields with raptors or a firebasedrop first. i didnt do the firebasedrop very well in this replay vs alboz, but if you build it a little bit nearer to the AF it will be able to kill more raptors. keep supplyspamming middle, to outspam your enemy in mid game

So you're someone that picks air and then does crap BO's like fast tech, no eco and dual ccnook? Great gamer you are.

The great [Vv]Fabbo enlightening people how to make LAME BO's NiCE

If you know he's gonna do them you can counter them

And what's not lame with air?

Playing normal. Air might be a strong army but its still no problem beating it with a GLA as long as you dont get dual CCnooked. Or he could just pick another army. I really dont see the point in playing this kind of games.

It is a lame BO but i guess in CW a win is a win :-/ Thanks for the upload Fabbo , A for effort ..

Yes but you can't see players as excal, spalding, Rising or size using such bo's.

And? That is their choice.

Spamming airfields is extremely important as well.

I'm totally agree with you! The more skill u have with mixing with china, the more chances you will have to beat any opponent. I have positive experience with that type of play and ty for pointing the fckn basic idea of any strategy game!
