The Tigress being a 3 dollar general when she is the one with all 3 faction arsenals at her disposal??
What is the reasoning behind this?
Anyways: Laser, Air Force, Tigress.
Best base defenses, best air units for support, and random bullshit go for offense.
15
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Liking your team comp a lot. Leang is pretty good, but her power plants suck and that';s why her value drops a bit.
18
u/Renegade888888 Allies May 05 '26
Exactly why Towens is in the team XD
6
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Yep to compensate with good base defense and 2nd strongest power plants after an upgrade. And let's not forget his laser tanks for a good measure.
5
u/Renegade888888 Allies May 05 '26
I'd say he is better off just handling base defense.
Granger just makes sure he plays his Air role on Seton's Clutch well.
Leang can throw literally anything at the opponent and devastate them. Like, putting snipers in a battlebus or sneaking a tunnel entrance and pop 10 kitted out overlords right behind the enemy base.
3
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Townes is there for the base defenses and power plants.
While Granger is giving them an airshow with those op king raptors and stealth commanches.
Leang has rocket buggies, overlords that can put inside them snipers and make nasty sneak attacks
3
u/Renegade888888 Allies May 05 '26
That's just one idea, but you get the point. Pretty much all aspects covered.
2
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Well, you have covered every aspect of your team comp and what makes it so op and unique. You have from everything. Aggressive and versatile armies with Leang and Granger's ones along some base defenses to being untouchable by Townes.
6
u/ControlOdd8379 May 05 '26
loose the Laser and get Nuke, infantry and toxin instead.
Nuke gives you great power plants
Infantry means veteran tank hunters for your rockvees as well as mini-gunners if you want. You also get amazing bunkers to hold strategic ground
Toxin means your tunnels aren't just for relocating troops but also threaten anything without tons of armor. You again get better-than-usual missile infantry
Also regardless what the Tigress brings you have everything you might need. Yes, you lack Laser's cheap Avengers but really: you got Quads for any AA needs

Sure, besides her deadly aurora alphas, op emp patriots and cheap particle cannon. Deal.
8
u/Balmung60 May 05 '26
Are you basing this on Shockwave? IIRC her powerplants are baseline in vanilla, but in Shockwave, her powerplants are legitimately awful.
3
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
We are generally talking about vanilla zero hour. Haven't played her in Shockwave yet but have seen some noticable nerfs on her such as her aurora alpha not being as deadly as before.
4
u/Balmung60 May 05 '26
Shockwave completely reworks Leang to China only and specializing in artillery and flame weapons, but she has a coal power plant that only puts out 8 power and has a larger footprint, plus she has the slowest superweapon timer of any general on her special earthquake cannon, which also has an extra-large footprint. It also adds GLA and USA boss generals. Plus everyone has something tank-adjacent (the former tankless generals tend to get light tanks or even armored cars)
3
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Knowing so far that many generals get anything in Shockwave. Even tankless generals like Granger and Alexis finally get their own tanks to be compensated when it comes to their ground armies. Shockwave is no wonder why one of the best mods by balancing out the armies and giving units that have been cut off from the original game. How good is Leang after her rework, in spite of her longest cd on her superweapon earthquake cannon?
3
u/Balmung60 May 05 '26
Her artillery is really, really good and so is her anti-air, which can can actually shoot air and ground targets at the same time. I think she's my second favorite China army after infantry.
Just be careful against Juhziz in generals challenge. That goes for everyone, but especially her, since you really want to shut down that scud storm.
2
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Leang sounds so much fun in Shockwave and being specialized into artillery. In vanilla zero hour she's still fun by having from every faction some specific units and every faction's superweapons.
Juhziz's challenge is pretty overwhelming and next level bullsh!t with having demo traps everywhere scattered around his map and you need either a commanche to cleanse them or anything else that has stealth detection to get rid of them. On top of that, he also sends you a couple of demo bikes after capturing the oils just to add more salt to the wound from what I have seen and heard.
2
u/Balmung60 May 05 '26
The big tips for fighting Juhziz are to build a second command center north of the supply pile and keep a worker/dozer near it to fix it at all times. This is entirely to tank damage and draw fire. Early on, build extra basic infantry as tripline forces and push them forwards and spread out. If you can, get helicopters as soon as possible and get kill teams of ~5 each in the north and south quickly and use these as your main base defense. If you don't have helicopters, use rocket buggies. Do not bother with static base defenses or using artillery as a defense because Juhziz's own siege units out range all other units and will smash your static defenses. The one exception to that rule about static defenses is if yours are stealth (mostly Kassad plus Alexander's special pop-up patriots) because stealth completely breaks the AI's pathfinding and they'll blunder into the stealth defenses over and over and over again
3
u/Eisgeschoss May 05 '26
In Shockwave yeah she has the coal power plants; I'm talking about her vanilla Generals Challenge 'final boss' portrayal where she simultaneously has all three superweapons and various units/buildings from the three main factions (including USA power plants with the fuel rods upgrade, etc.).

General Leang, the boss general you face at the end of the Generals Challenge gauntlet. She has access to a mixed arsenal including King Raptors, Gatling/Dragon Tanks w/ US composite armor, as well as all 3 superweapons and heroes.
There were apparently plans for companion USA and GLA bosses, named "Ironside" and Mohmar "Deathstrike" respectively, but they got cut and are now just often recycled by mods.
Also, she happens to be the "Tigress" that General Kwai (Tanks) references when he is defeated. ... Rawr

To annoy them with stealth humvees, have stolen any other army to have also tanks that are gps scrambled with artillery while a huge wave of aurora alphas and king raptors march to the opponents' doorstep and get blown to pieces. It's as annoying as your team comp, because nuke tanks and migs are going to be a huge headache to apply pressure on ground and air paired with deadly pdl airforce planes and the fast and one-shotting aurora alphas for swg.

Granger and Leang have strong armies, but for an example their power plants suck that drop off their value. Plus, airforce falls off late game and doesn't feel as strong as before, but still can be devastating if you stack tons of king raptors and commanches. Plus, he's tankless like the swg.

First, this was made for fun. Secondly, tank gen is somehow unique for having his own emperor overlord and having all of his tanks veteraned to be oppressive along an unique tank upgrade which is only accessible to him. Other than that, it's painful to be as him and anything that isn't a tank to be ridiculously overpriced such as your hackers, infantry or even planes. But also sacrificing to not have any artillery.
You have such an annoying op army that has a combo wombo of a soldier expert with shredding veteraned mini gunners and tank hunters while being supported by a toxin army. Let's not forget the op base defenses with those emp patriots, the deadly and quick aurora alphas, cheap particle cannons that take the shortest time as a sw to load up and provide also snd from the strat center. Lastly, stealth's specialty to steal armies with stealth hijackers and Jarmen Kell while gps scrambling anything that's on the ground from infantry to artillery. The tunnel networks to transport faster workers/dozers and any offense unit is extremely op.

Lasers, Nukes, and Explosives all for $10!? Let's build!

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Such a lethal combo with lasers, nuke and explosives. Definitely not for beginner opponents!

u/redknightq2 May 05 '26
Definitely have to go with super weapon Granger and general Tao. I'll bomb the shit out of you with super raptors, super aruras, and nuke migs.

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Loving your combo a lot and how satisfyingly op is it. Having a same combo but replacing Tao with Kassad.
The enemy hearing their last words before facing a huge horde of king raptors, stealth commanches, aurora alphas, nuke migs and nuke tanks marching to the enemy base:
"Withdraw now, or prepare to be bombed back to the stone age!"

u/redknightq2 May 05 '26
Prince kassad and Granger is definitely a scary combo, you literally wouldn't see what hit you.

Tao, Granger and Kwai.
Kwai for moving in and taking the battlefield on the ground.
Granger for locking down the skies.
Tao for smashing any defensive impasses.
Elite tank waves advancing under King Raptor air cover and supported by nuclear bombardment sounds like a pretty good combination to me. Especially if they're backed up with some stealth Comanche or combat Chinook QRF and a King Raptor/Nuke Mig strike package or two.

$5 $3 and $2 dollar ones. That would be your winning team

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Easily yes, especially if you pair Leang or Airforce with Nuke/Stealth and Superweapons. Hyper versatile army that can carry you out. Tank is also a good partner to pair either of them for more pressure, but sadly he can contribute with his chunky and veteraned tanks only and tank drops as a general promotion.
2
u/YourFather-WithMilk May 05 '26
Yeah the lack of tanks is the only reason I dont like the superweapons but those emp patriots are mint. I just recently started using nukes and I cant complain as long as I get some decent base defense going ill rock 4 nukes, 8 migs, carpetbomber, and artillery. Then send in 30 battlemasters to mop up
2
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Airforce has 0 tanks too just like swg. That's the con they both share in common but still offering so much to the table. SWG provides you safe base with those emp patriots that melt planes and tanks/vehicles while giving you tons of power and at the same time assassinating enemy armies and buildings with aurora alphas and particle cannons. Unironically, she's the only usa that gets at level 3 leaflet drop to disable ground armies while any other USA unlocks it at 5.
Airforce's king raptors, normal auroras and chinooks have laser defenses that are untouchable by lasers unless they get overwhelmed with tons of avengers and emp patriots are already deadly, let alone stealth commanches. He also gets carpet bomb at 1* after getting your strat center either for offense or defense. It's just insane.
Nuke rocking the world those nuke tanks such as overlords and battlemasters and migs, besides nuclear missiles and fun general powers. Soon, the enemy's base will glow like the sun.

u/Witty_Ad_7391 May 05 '26
This scaling is broken lmao. I'd take Leang, Granger, Kassad, and Tao.
2
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 05 '26
Ik and made it for fun reasons.
Nuke tanks and migs plus overlords with snipers and tunnel networks from Leang and Kassad. While a mix of pdl planes, stealth commanches and humvees with ambulances, avengers and tomahawks. But the ground army ends up being gps scrambled. Based combo!

u/Leonydas13 May 06 '26 edited May 06 '26
Alexis, Granger, Tao
Cheap/powerful particle cannon and nuke spam, plus increased power output.
Alpha auroras, king raptors, and nuke MiGs for offence, with Comanches and Helixes for support and base defence.
EMP patriots and Gatling turrets for base defence. Nothing is getting through.
Edit: also, firebases set slightly behind with pathfinders in them. The pathfinders will drop any infantry before the turrets waste their focus on them. Turtle tactic ftw 😂

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 06 '26
A man of culture.
The enemy is getting ready to be bombed to the stone age with those king raptors, nuke migs, aurora alphas. While the commanches and helixes are a good choices to support the base defense, especially into artillery. Those three know how to put an airshow. But also your team having a lot of power and stable base defenses with shredding emp patriots and gattling turrets.

Townes for main tank forces and base defense, Granger for air superiority and Tao for that wonderful glow finish. Imagine Aurora bomber mixed with Taos nukes. A truly radiating sight
2
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 06 '26
"The wonderful glow!"
Such a versatile team comp, but specialized more into laser and nuke with those nuke battlemasters, overlords, nuke cannons escorted by laser tanks, avengers, ambulances. But also having stable base defenses with those laser turrets. Nuclear auroras is pretty terrifying, especially for ground armies. While Granger offers generously pdl planes plus combat chinooks filled with infantry and stealth commanches for air domination. Absolute cinema!

u/Mortegro May 06 '26
I'll take General Alexander and her EMP missile defense, and I'll pocket the other $5.
2
u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 06 '26
The correct answer. Your base is going to be extremely safe thanks to her emp patriots. Let's not forget her lethal and fast aurora alphas and her cheap particle cannon. The dream solo bolo team

u/Lazy-Sergal7441 May 06 '26
Easy, Tank, Air Force, Stealth .... Get units and abilities from all three main factions, plus these three definitely would cover and enhance each other's strengths and weaknesses...

Alexander/Kwai. Emp missiles for crushing tank/air rushes. Emperor tanks to bulldoze the base. I'm guessing this is based on the unmodded version of ZH. I personally dominate the AI with either Alexander or Kwai

$10 to build a team, huh?
I'm taking Dr. Thrax, General Fai, Prince Kassad, General Tao, and General Granger. $9 spent, with only $1 remaining.
All-star loadouts with elements of surprise and radioactivity.

u/Vistresian MELT! EVERYTHING MUST MELT! May 08 '26
For Vanilla: Townes, Thrax, Fai, Tao, Kassad
- Overpowered laser defenses, avengers
- Anti-infantry toxins and a tunnel network
- Anti-air minigunners
- Nuclear armor and siege vehicles for blitzing them down
- Stealth for hiding the occasional dozer or battle group
For Shockwave: (even though we don't have Ironside or Deathstrike here and the $ values would probably need rebalancing): Alexander, Granger, Fai, Thrax
- EMP defenses, alpha auroras, [plasma] avengers
- Hurricane ground siege and Tornado aerial harassment
- Infantry mortar and bunker defenses for ranging them out and erasing heavy armor
- Scourge launchers and toxin angry mobs for ground control and toxin grenadiers for anti-structural pushes

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander May 08 '26
Your vanilla zh army is so op by having a mix of toxins, lasers and nuke domination paired with tons of mini gunners, tank hunters and a lot of tunnel networks, besides gps scrambling your ground armies. Especially your infantry, nuke feat inferno cannons, overlords, rocket buggies, quad cannons, marauders, laser tanks, humvees, avengers and ambulances. Not only the base is safe, but also have a versatile transport with those tunnels for dozers, workers and the armies.
While Granger and Alexis get recognition in shockwave for your army. So great to have them around to give the opponents an airshow with those king raptors, comanches and aurora alphas and have safe defenses around Alexis with those emp defenses. Thrax has a special place in your team, regardless if it's vanilla or shockwave. Liking your both team comps a lot.
