I finally get it to work for the 1.06 patch.
Of cource, there are a lot of other improvements as well.

Whats new?
- Support for the 1.06 unofficial patch.
- China factions will now target with cluster mines enemy units/tunnels, instead of mindlessly droping them in their own base, even if it has mines.
- USA's Auroras will attack enemy powerplants with primary priority if they see that the enemy is low on excess power. They will also have high priority for GLA powerplants /built with stolen dozers/.

- Fixed a problem, where China's do not deploy ECM tanks near gatling turrets, also their behaviour is now changed - they will deploy near bunkers instead.
- USA's will deploy Avengers to protect firebases /it was already done for vanilla USA/.
- Tank general will finally be able to build his "hidden" airfield and will attack with aircraft as well. Initial Helix rush is also added for the general.

- Fixed a problem, where GLA vanilla do not use GPS scrambler.
- Fixed AFG ground teams that refuse to attack, as well as ground teams for AFG and SWG that do not load into transports.
- Fixed a situation, where AFG do not capture sniped /unmanned/ vehicles.
- Added missing drone gun upgrade for AFG.

- The AI will now consider having enemy patriots and tunnels in its base a base invasion, and it will build high priority base defence teams to deal with the threat. The AI will also have initial defence team to guard its base against early patdrops and tunnelbuilders.
- Fixed base defence teams - added missing attack priorities and build conditions, and fixed teams consisting of wrong faction vehicles.

- Measures taken to ensure that China's will fill their bunkers with tankhunters and do this fast - lowered the money requirement for the teams, increased their priority, and improved their scripts.
- Lowered the priority for the hackers a bit, so that the AI does not produce them when the base is attacked and needs base def teams or when it is building bunker teams.

- Additional firebase teams added for the Laser general.
- Additional garrison teams added for all GLA factions, they were not having many of them.
- Fixed a bug, where vanilla USA does not garrison predetermined civilian buildings.
- Improved scripts for the carbombs and some dozerhunt teams.
- Fixed early teams that do not attack the enemy for all China's, and the Laser general.

- Fixed a situation, where the AI considered gla holes to be superweapons, which resulted in unadequate behaviour and messed up AI internal clock /counter escalation/.
- Fixed a problem, which prevented sequential scripts from executing properly for AF and SW generals, a lot of things are done via them /transports, filling firebases, Burton planting charges, etc/

1.06 note
- USA's Stealth fighters will have higher priority for ECM tanks.
- The AI will take advantage of the new general points system, so now some generals will purchase more and different general powers than before.
- Fixed an issue with the 1.06 patch, where Demo was unable to use General Power Rebel Ambush, due to its changed name in the patch /now Demo Rebel Ambush/.
- The speed of the carbombs is the same as in the 1.04 patch, so that the AI can take advantage of them.
- Be aware that some of the maps that come with the 1.06 patch are not AI optimized, so playing against the AI on them is not recommended.

To install, backup your INI folder and Scirmishscripts.scb file, then replace them with those from the link.

Yep, the Stealth Fighters attack base defences with primary priority, so they clear tunnels often.
In one of the earlier updates i gave them higher priority for Palaces as well.
Here is what clears what:

Stealth Fighter with bunkerbusters will clear tunnels /kills all infantry, bikes and buggies in the tunnel and eject the rest units damaged/, Palaces, Bunkers, garrisoned civilian buildings. Heroic infantry and heroes will survive the strike though.
Neutron artillery will fully clear tunnels, Internet Centers, Palaces, Bunkers, and garrisoned civilian buildings.
Dragon tanks, Flashbangs, Combat Drops, Microwave tanks, Toxin trucks, Toxin rebbels and Toxin tunnels will clear garrisoned civilian buildings.

AEI, if you post a new version, next time you should attach it to your forum post (using the attach files to this post checkbox), so that visitors don't have to use mediafire etc. and can download it directly from the forums here.

Sorry to bump an old topic but does this mod work with TFD?

only reason i ask is because i can't use the zero hour patchs, ie 1.03, 1.04, 1.06

The latest update /v2.6/ is now available.

Whats new?

- Improved behaviour for Colonel Burton and Black Lotus:
Burton will retaliate if attacked by ground units. Lotus will defend herself with the vehicle hack ability if attacked by vehicles.
Burton and Lotus will attack from different directions. They will no longer stay in their base for a minute before starting their attack. The EA bug where Burton will try to place charges on Chinooks is fixed. The state of Burton teams is set to normal to help them plant charges properly. Fixed a problem for AFG, where Burton will not attack the enemy.

- GLA workers will finally be able to repair buildings located away from them.
- Improved the use of laser lock, also added more teams that use it, USA's will counter early Helix/Combat Chinook rushes with laser lock as well.
- Stealth General will now be able to build a barracks when he hijack a dozer and will attack with missile defenders.
- Added supply guards for Toxin and Demo, now all factions use supply guards.

- The AI will activate dozer hunt teams if some of its dozers are hijacked.
- Bigger garrison teams, so that there is no more situations with only one soldier in building.
- Fixed a problem, which could prevent the AI from using Combat Chinooks and Helixes loaded with rocket guys later in game.
- Added additional Combat Chinook, Helix, Tech Terror/RPG and Rockvee attacks for late game, they will start if the enemy doesn't have many base defences.

- USA's will guard their bases with microwave tanks against Sneak Attacks.
- USA's Strategy Centers will now initiate Bombardment battle plan if the main base is invaded and there is no power or there is just a few remaining base defences.
- The AI will be able to garrison bunkers and firebases at expansions /it depends on the map though/.

- Completely revamped attack priorities for all units and factions:
- Added Burton attack priority and included Tech buildings in it, so the colonel will now be able to place charges on Tech buildings, and will no longer try to place charges on base defences /except firebases/.
- Added Gat priority /higher for aircraft and infantry/, Dragon tank priority /higher for buildings and infantry/, Comanche priority /this was already done but only for AFG in the previous versions of the mod/, and missing terrorist priority for the Demo General. Improved attack priorities for Migs and rocketguys.
- Added Holes for the terrorist priorities, so now they will attack GLA buildings more effectively.
- Added Tech buildings in several priorities, so now units will be a bit more aggressive towards them.

- Each USA will now have unique priorities for its Auroras, also fixed a problem where changing the Aurora priority for one faction will affect Auroras from other factions.
- Auroras for all USA's will have four different priorities for Tech Centers:
One for Palaces /high/, second for Strategy Centers /a bit higher/, third for Propaganda Centers /very high/, and fourth when the enemy /China's or USA's/ has no power /highest/.
- Auroras from AFG and SWG will be more aggressive towards Tech Centers than those from Laser and USA.
- AFG Auroras will start to attack American Strategy Centers when there is at least two Auroras available.

- The AI will now recognize the type of the following units that wasn't recognizing before: the AFG Chinook, the Laser General's Aurora, Raptor, Microwave Tank and Sentry Drone, the terrorists for all GLA factions, and the technicals with different chassis, so now it will be more aggressive towards them.
- Gats and Avengers are no longer recognized as tanks, but as Anti Air vehicles.
- Dozers are now unique type of units.
- The SneakAttack TunnelNetwork is now added in the priorities, so now the AI will be more aggressive towards it.

- Implemented timer for the saboteur technicals, so that the attack doesnt start right after the enemy's SuperWeapon is built.
- Fixed the EA bug, where GLA's will not rebuild Sneak Atack teams and sometimes will not place units in the tunnels at all. Now older teams will exit tunnels and disband, so that the new team can move in.
- Fixed another EA bug, where the Tunnel teams will be unable to get back to the tunnels if they try to enter into Tunnel Scaffold.

- Fixed a problem, where Stealth and vanilla GLA will not build additional Arms Dealers.
- A bit bigger expansions for China factions, and additional barracks for Demo.
- Fixed a problem, where Stealth for no reason will send technicals and hijacked vehicles near the down-left corner of the map.
- Stealth General will be able to manage more types of hijacked vehicles.
- Fixed again uncrushable (by vehicle) minigunners for the ZH 1.04 version of the mod. /This was already fixed by r42 but only for the 1.06 patch version of the mod/

- Fixed teams which will not attack the enemy for all GLA and China factions.
- Fixed a situation, where dragon tanks for all China factions will attack with the firewall ability only once.
- China factions will rush from multiple directions at the same time.
- Added Dragon tank rushes using the firewall ability for all China factions.
- Fixed a problem, where GLA will not attempt to capture Tech buildings near the enemy base.

- Fixed a problem, where China's will not replace destroyed /by stealth fighters for example/ bunker teams, in case the bunker is intact.
- Fixed a problem, where SWG will not upgrade Advanced Control Rods before building its superweapons.
- China's will spread their additional hackers around the base /this was already done for the Infantry general in the previous versions of the mod/.

- Fixed a problem, where some USA's will upgrade Control Rods only when they have no power, now all USA's will upgrade their power plants if the power supply ratio is below 130 %.
- Laser general will build Laser Crusaders only when he has power.
- The AI will build powerplants near safer places /expansions/ if its main base is invaded and there is no power.
- Fixed an EA bug, where China's will not build additional powerplants in very late game.

- Fixed several bugged comanche antitank teams for most USA factions.
- Decreased the threshold for creating anti tank teams for all factions from 15 to 8 enemy tanks.
- Fixed a problem, where AFG will not rebuild his Chinooks if they are destroyed.
- Fixed a situation, where AFG will build Combat Chinooks for harvesting instead of his regular /and cheaper/ Chinooks.

- Factions which do not posses tanks will now create Anti-Air Vehicle teams to better counter Quad/Gat spam.
- Fixed a problem, where infantry will be unable to load into transports, if its pushed away by vehicle when trying to load into the transport.
- Improved scripts for tech terror attacks and fixed a problem where the terrorists will not unload from the technical.
- Other minor fixes and improvements.

Hi.
That you are still playing RA2 is very good, that was one of my first games..
As for Generals, it is still popular, i think this is because the game is based on real life events, events that are actual even today, and will be actual in the feature as well.
And the improved AI increases the replay value of the game even more.

Thank you very much!

Hi.
Great work. But...
I recently started to play Zero again so I searched for this mod that back in those days I used it a lot.
I do however have some problems: major lag. While playing the vanilla game I had no lag at all, but when installed the mod, the game is almost un playable.
I have an i7 based computer so I think I way over the specs, also have Windows 7 64.
Any solutions for this? I really like the mod.

Looks suspiciously good. How do you fixed that "laser lock" thing?
