too many choices is actually not a good thing... It impares your ability to quickly decide on what to do with you have 12 choices for one action as opposed to 3 choices for one action, for example.)
-Tomahawk is tied for the worst artillery in-game because it's worthless when an enemy has an Avenger.
-Sentry Drone? Why? Why not a Listening Outpost?
-Angry Mob? WHAT FOR?
-Rangers? RANGERS? We don't need no stinkin' Rangers when we have MINI-GUNNERS in-game!
-Where are my Chinooks, and why do I have these Supply Trucks if we're supposed to be the ultimate badass overpowered boss with the best of the best of the best?
-Paladins as a main tank force? A group of cheaper and faster to pump out Battlemasters with HORDE will own any Paladin force with no problems.
-No Fuel Air Auroras? Odd.
-Terrorist Bikes (with, for the some reason, the Rocket Buggy voice)? Vanilla Terrorist Bikes, no less? No thanks.
-- Lack of BASIC UPGRADES for several of her units...
- King Raptor is stuck with regular damage missiles and no countermeasures
-No countermeasures for her Aurora either.

Which you can't pump out unless you have the cash set as high as possible or something because she has the WORST economy issues of any of the generals.
She uses STANDARD Hackers for her unlimited money resource, and no Internet Center or anything. It wouldn't be quite as bad if they we either trained two at a time or were Super Hackers, which are stealthed and can defend the base in emergancies with their ability to shut off vehicles.
She's even worse than Chinese factions with money resource because she's the only "Chinese" general who's Hackers can't be protected in an Internet Center (which was still expensive for China).
Again, if they were stealthed Super Hackers, she would have a lot less trouble being able to hold onto her cash generators because they were stealthed.
And again, her tech tree, it's made of the most bizarre unit combinations anyone could ever dream of. Doesn't help that so much of her force is really expensive when she already has a huge problem hanging onto her infinite money resource.

No, she hasn't, she's already been crippled from the lack of funds, especially in matches without $50000 starting cash, because she's lost all her Hackers to snipers, toxins, blah blah blah, and her force can't be upgraded much at all without her expensive superweapons being built... Which, she can't afford.
Boss General is so underpowered.... xD
