She was never meant to be a single general originally there were three boss generals (one for each faction) however, as we all know, this game was rushed hence the amalgamation of units and buildings.
Personally I liked her when I was younger (8 or 9 ish) and when I started modding enabling and fixing her is what I concentrated on but I could never get her to a point I was happy with her
I think I may replace her with a better boss general and because i will use all the same names she should work in generals challenge as long as I only change the design, art, and engineering parameters.

If people would like to suggest ways of improving her please tell me and I'll try to make it work just as soon as I get the laptop back off my parents.

How and why do you think boss general is bad?

Have you looked at her tech tree? She has EARLY GAME OVERLORDS AND ROCKET BUGGIES!

She doesn't even need to worry about late game. She's already won.

-- Horrible economy issues (I'll get to that in a minute)
-- There is no point in capturing a Tech Reinforcement pad with her because nothing is ever paradropped with that.
-- Most bizarre combination of units imaginable leading to no focus on any specific tactics. (which, though it sounds nice to be that "flexable", 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

That, and her REALLY weird set of units.

Did you not see "really bizarre combination of units"? lol

Exactly what I plan to do.

I'm doing that. Heheh.


*Ahem*
*You're. :P

And, wow, you're in a mean mood today. xD

Speaking of which, actually, here is some the stuff I'm doing and plan to do to make the Boss General awesome:


-- All infantry are trained two at a time.
-- Ranger uses pulse rifle, which the Superweapons General also does. (Done)
-- Reduced prices for superweapons
-- Super Hacker
-- Paladin does not require a General's Point, can Horde, is built as a veteran, costs the same as a Battlemaster, and uses the three-shot Battlemaster weapon of the Tank General. (Done!)
-- More upgrades; Countermeasures, Junk Repair, etc (In progress)
-- ALL buildings self-repair slowly (Almost done)
-- USA Humvees replace the nonsense vanilla GLA Terror Bike with Rocket Buggy voice. (Done, but subject to change to a differant version of the Humvee.)
-- Junk Repair for all vehicles
-- Many of the units will still exist, but will be combined with the functions of other faction's units.
-Stealth MiG. A combination of Granger's Stealth Fighter and the MiG. Laser defenses, Countermeasures, and uses the Stealth Fighter's CommandSet. (Done_

Really? Works for me...

That is redundant and i can't imagine that working.

Heheh

Like which ones?



lol. xD

Tech pads are barely relevant to balancing. They're slow and don't provide anything useful unless you're infantry general.


Diverse units is a good thing. It makes the general unpredictable, which is extremely powerful in a strategy game. You really shouldn't attempt to argue that your difficulties with having many options is a balancing issue, because it isn't.


She has rocket buggies. The tomahawk is irrelevant.


Angry mobs are good against GLA generals.


Why does this matter? How powerful do you want the boss general to be? She's already far more powerful than any other general in the game. She doesn't need the most overpowered units from every faction.


That's not a balancing issue, and she has Helixes. Chinooks are also not the best supply collectors.

Best of the best is supposed to be the base factions. The king raptor is an anomaly. She's not intended to be a general with all the powers of every general.


Overlords are her main tank force, not Paladins. Paladins are a counter to scorpions. Overlords are a counter to tanks.


She has a supply center. It's not difficult for her to pump out units early game, which gives her a massive advantage because she has late game units available early game. In a pro game, she has already won at this point. To further defeat this point, she has tunnel networks, which allow her to defend her hackers by instantly transporting her armies.

In a noob game, her hackers being weak is irrelevant; noobs build hundreds of hackers.

Agh, great, I screwed up the Quoting....
