I'm an air force fan, but the air general is weak in the early game so I'd say it's the toxin general because the scud storm (upgraded with a gamma toxin) can destroy a PUC in just 1 strike [smile]

Posted by: BladeLord - Wednesday, December 10, 2008 3:50:43 PM
Nuclear... i mean, his battlemaster are really fast and it's overlords are useful... very useful due to their speed. Also the fact that one can use BM's as bomb trucks if well microed. This and... well... i love radiation :mischiev:

Posted by: Comando112 - Wednesday, December 10, 2008 7:41:00 PM
Oh yeah, Mine is Toxin and nuke. Cause both leakes out radial/toxins when destroyed. Damages all infantries int he surrounding area. Very useful if u play against inf general.

You can call me a person who likes watching 50-60 tanks ruin an enemy base, that's why I love tank gen, laser gen, and nuke gen!

Posted by: zergswarms - Sunday, February 8, 2009 9:43:08 AM

Nuke, Toxin, and Laser have the best armies imo. Nuke has really fast and really effective tanks, Laser can protect their army well, and Toxin has the anthrax to compliment a lot of their weapons. Tank is interesting. I've heard someone say that Tank can be a nightmare if he doesn't get rushed. For Stealth, I think they are effective in small games, but are bulldozed in larger games, due to their lack of tanks and SCUDs. Infantry is very effective, however if they are versing a USA and the USA gets Pathfinders, they are going to have a hard time.....and Infantry's technology is generally the same all throughout. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing. I've heard that if you pit two players, a Toxin and an Infantry, same skill level, against each other, Toxin will win most of the time.

Posted by: Darus - Monday, February 9, 2009 3:02:41 AM
well, Stealth can hijack US and China dozers easily so in theory, it can be 2 sides vs 1

Posted by: bel3ve - Monday, February 9, 2009 4:41:26 PM
Shouldnt your dozers be covered with a detector, ex machine sentry drone or a listening post?

Posted by: Darus - Tuesday, February 10, 2009 3:01:59 AM
Well, it's possible but very tedious plus the dozer doesn't have to make it all the way back to the base to get the tech. Just build the CC with the dozer and when the base comes up, move it somewhere else and let the GLA worker finish it.

Playing SW's non-stop is boring. I never liked it when my friends don't battle but instead build a ridiculously big wall of EMP Patriots and just use Aurora Alpha's and SW's. It takes the fun out of the game.

Posted by: zergswarms - Sunday, August 2, 2009 7:26:49 AM
It does get annoying and boring to use. Not to mention the EMP Patriot lag when they relay the targets to each other. The green designators really slow things down.

Posted by: Lengo - Saturday, December 18, 2010 4:12:46 PM

I'm surprised that the original generals aren't listed, and nobody has said they prefer one of them. There must be a reason why, so why does nobody like the basic generals? I find the standard generals well balanced, and they give good games when you chose one and set the AI to play as another (even your own chosen country). However, I must admit that I never play as the Terrorists and don't play against them. I like knowing where the enemy might come from, not finding out by surprise. Also, I don't play online for various reasons. I splay strictly against the AI. I make my own maps. I find map making most relaxing and creatively challenging. You can spend an hour or a day or a week on one. If I spend a day on it and it turns out to be a great design, I'll tweak it, then detail it. If it doesn't, then I just don't play it, but keep it as a reminder of what I did wrong. But, back to the original question. Why has nobody chosen the original generals? Are there weaknesses in them? I don't see any. I can beat most China factions with the original US army. I've played as original US most, but also like original China vs China (same factions for both sides). ------- "We fight for peace"

Best for me is lazer general, a bit vulnerable in the beggining of a battle but when ur base is done just build about 3 tanks and 1 avenger unit and, once unlocked, 1 pathfinder laser tanks kill any other tank in the game (only can't kill overlord class), avenger kill air and if close can protect the tanks from missiles (suck as scorpion rocket) and pathfinder kill any infantry that comes in that screenshot (my avatar) u can see some tanks killing nuke battemasters

Posted by: BR-Alexandre - Sunday, April 3, 2011 6:16:13 AM

not really blade, avenger no more need a strategy center and the first units i make (after the dozer, chinook and rangers) is a laser tank. yeah the pathfinder take a while but the others don't BMs will not get even close to my tanks to suicide, about the ECM and Overlords....then depends of the size of both armies and tactics used during the combat. Also, if my enemy is GLA, the avenger kill scorpion rocket so laser don't die that easy. Raptor or stealth figther air support can slo turn the tide of the batte (same way can the nuke migs if i'm out of avengers) [quote=Matthijsownt]I like inf gen because if u menage to get lategame with super hackers and mass charges u will kick ass[/quote] Really? have you ever seen pathfinders in action? just 4 tanks and about 4-10 pathfinders kill an army of infantry, or see what happens with the infantry when you try defeat a few laser turrents

Posted by: Annihilationzh - Sunday, April 3, 2011 12:54:29 PM

None of that will ever work in a pro game. For 1, if you manage to get laser turrets up around your base before they've completely destroyed you, you're beyond a pro. Then, dispite that miracle, they'll crush you with superweapons and a much larger economy. For 2, laser tank + avenger + pathfinders are easily countered. They're weak to missile spamming (USA's specialty), Chinese artillery, tunnel networks, battlemasters (nuke or tank), overlords, ecm tanks, and many more.

Posted by: BR-Alexandre - Sunday, April 3, 2011 1:01:52 PM

1-i'm not a pro in that game, you can't call me even good. almost never build turrents when playing 2-how the missile guys kill the pathfinders? only China artillery, auroras and big armies kill that "squad", i've rushed lots of AIs and [u]Players[/u] that way. Also guerrilha kill them too EDIT: also i don't use just one tank and one avenger, its a group of 2-5 tanks per avenger and 1-4 snipers for escort. as you say, will need time

[quote]almost never build turrents when playing[/quote] Neither do pros. Turrets are useless.

[quote]how the missile guys kill the pathfinders?[/quote] They don't need to. They're in humvees, and the humvees deal with them. With your 3 avengers and 9 laser tanks, he has 5 humvees filled with missile defenders for the same cost. They can fire up to 25 missiles at once. Not only that, but they're much faster, and have more range, so they can run circles around you to get to a weak spot, all the while, you can't touch them.

Posted by: BladeLord - Monday, April 4, 2011 7:27:25 AM

Well, alexandre, consider that USA have a very slow economy, so that they are weak on the beggining. With the money to purchase 4 LC + 1 AV (the minimun to stop 1 BM from suiciding, and they are fast) u can purchase a PC or a Nuke. Now with that very money, i can purchase 6 Nuke BM's and still have some to spare. With good micro, u will at least have a couple of BM's exploding near u, and the rest... well, u know the rest. Besides, in late game, BM's be a lot and with nationalism bonus wich is going to give them the edge. Furthermore, i may not have so many BM's but a mix between BM's an Overlords. So overlords take the pounding (and hell, they are resistant) while nuke BM's fire so fast that u entire force will be cripled in a matter of seconds. Also consider the leftover radiation, the more shots, me more intense it will be. Needless to say about chinesse inferno's (just need 5 or 6 to FS ur tank's and deal them A LOT of dmg). At least, Tao has ECM tanks to protect their assets from Raptors and stealth fighter, how can townes defend himself from artillery?.

U know, adding a comanche might be useful, but once the overlords got the Gat upg... well... the same for burton. Another option u can use, are ur very avengers (yes they themselves). The fact is that u gonna need some micro and GOOD formation, but u can target the overlords and BM's faster, compensating for the enemie's horde bonus. Just take care of those ECM's disabling ur tanks (they are priority targets, more than overlords and above anything else, a good micro player can ruin ur day with those, and they did it to me... :( ).

Another option u can use, are ur very avengers (yes they themselves). The fact is that u gonna need some micro and GOOD formation, but u can target the overlords and BM's faster, compensating for the enemie's horde bonus. Just take care of those ECM's disabling ur tanks (they are priority targets, more than overlords and above anything else, a good micro player can ruin ur day with those, and they did it to me... :( ).[/quote] i have good formations (sometimes of course i make it wrong and if terrain don't help....) due to experience in game, and i see that search and destroy battle plan plus avenger laser (tag) attack speed bonus make my tanks better than tank general ones (even with AL). see that overlord tank lose some of hist cost-efficiency in a tank battle if you build a gatling cannon on it. Tank cheneral in challeges like use lots of ECMs, but you need a lot (3+) to make an efficient attack. What is a "micro"? microwave tank? ....and what is a "micro player"? someone who use ECM or microwave in tactical positions?

Micro (micro managing) is carefully moving units so that they do good damage without dying. Humvee's are the most famous units for micro, as they can completely avoid damage and still kill their opponents.

Actually, Tao's tanks are better than kwai's ones... His overlords move so fast, that they can even outrun crusaders, needless to say about BM's (denying SAD Strategy, if i were u, i'd surely go for bombardment instead). And trust me... the Gat UPG is the best thing an overlord may have built in. Why? Because it gives them super antiinfantry capability, as well as antiair. Furthermore, it gives it detection and spinin' the guns faster make more and more damage as times goes by (and with the resistance they got, they WILL SURELY have such time wich make them effective even against tanks). My usual Battleorder is 3 or 4 Gat overlords + 1 Prop behind (and some BM's to help clean the way, and infernos should i have the money).

[quote]and some BM's to help clean the way, and infernos should i have the money[/quote] then i need more tanks, about the inferno, well that i can't defeat (as i say, i'm weak vs artillery)

Look at this batte, its the same in my avatar, i was figthing with my brother and you can see he just put ALL his unit is a good firing position, even so, due to SAD plan (back units firing) and avengers (increased fire speed on tagged enemy) i won with 2 losses = 1 avenger and 1 heroic laser tank [19200] vs [17300], losses: [2400] to [17300] [ATTACH]730[/Attach]

Why is he using gattling tanks? Why doesn't he have overlords and infernos when you have S&D? You spent way more than him, and had counter units, and had tech. It's obvious that you should win that fight.

This is a tough question. My favorite general to be out of the nine overall generals? I think it comes down to two then, and I'm not sure which one I like better. For me its either the USAF General, or the Chinese Infantry General. I Love the USAF general's cheap and superior raptors and as everyone already knows, he is absolutley ridiculous with all of his general's promotions. Humvees are a competent enough ground force too while working with all of your raptors and stealth commanches. For competitive play it is USAF. But at heart, there is nothing I love more than a mass attack with infantry! Of the three overall factions I like China the least, but I can't resist the emphasis on infantry! Also, I like how the Chinese Infantry General gets the carpet bomber at 3 star genreal instead of 5 star like the other chinese armies (except nuke I know). A blob of infantry with more on the way via para-drop with a fast-returning and early use carpet bomber is pretty good I think. For personal like, its the Chinese Infantry General. If the question was to be between the vanilla armies, I would pick GLA 1st, then USA, then China.

Posted by: silenthero - Monday, June 20, 2011 1:49:39 AM

Overall I would pick Air Force General. He's too strong in 1.04 where his air and ground units complemented one another. He can rush early game effectively (MD's and a Chinook) and his King Raptor can deal serious damage in just one run (3 dozers anyone?), can protect and scout perfectly. The Carpet Bomb is VERY imbalanced with multitude of reasons. 2 fat thumbs up to this grumpy. I go for convenient rush tactics, not camping and waiting the staring game. That's why I don't like Superweapon generals. Peace to the one's who like them ^^. In 1.06 I didn't like any generals so I opted to Vanilla USA. Granger was nerfed a lot and many generals sticked to their specialty so much that they aren't very flexible.

Posted by: mewesley - Thursday, August 18, 2011 8:30:55 AM

I prefer playing as Infantry, then Stealth. As others have said, the Pathfinder is the main way to interfere with the Infantry's strength. Otherwise, using Assault Helixes, many Assault Troop Crawlers, and inferno cannons can do most players a lot of trouble. Super Hackers with Super Lotus are wonderful at disabling an entire base (If pathfinders are neutralized). I enjoy stealth because you can tunnel anywhere, load up battlebuses, and wreck havoc. Economy is easy and the GPS scrambler makes everyone but the mob stealthy. Stealth Battle Buses, too much fun!

Posted by: spike - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 6:48:23 PM
I prefer Air Force general. His planes are cool and have lasers on them which make them hard targets. Although he lacks tanks but is compensated by other vehicles like the tomahawk launcher. Actually, i like all the US Generals with their hi-tech weapons and all. :)

Posted by: Sarevok - Sunday, August 28, 2011 3:21:45 PM

Seeing as this is an active topic, I'll post my preferences. I used to love stealth. Deploying the sneak attack in the back of the base, or even to the side, whilst they are distracted out the front. Also using the rocket buggy to take out most tanks before they get in-range (bar the artillery). Now, I used the Nuke general. I like a good strong offensive force that can take a good few hits. Also, the GLA to me seemed to have pretty weak air defence. The Quads are good, but they need to be in the right place, and with out enough, don't really do to much. The Chinese defence, with the gatling base defences (for the aircraft and troops) and then the bunker (for the rocket guys) makes it pretty tough against most things bar artillery, which can be sorted with the nuke migs. Coupled with the ability to put your secondary economy (hackers) wherever you feel like, I quite like him :)

Posted by: Sukotto82 - Tuesday, September 6, 2011 6:00:38 PM

for me its hard to say I like super weapons general because of the aurora alpha bombers are awesome. I like GLA because I can upgrade tanks from scrap parts and make them stealth. I like China Tank because the emperor overlord is a massive force to mess with. I think the Toxin generals rocket guys are the most powerful of rocket guys. I Like most any USA that has the pathfinder cause I use lots of snipers in defenses and the dual laser tanks for taking out any aircraft or air deployed specials and rockets that would otherwise take out most my auto defenses. I have seen that the USA is the only team that can't capture enemy vehicles, why is that. the china have the nuke cannon with the photon shell upgrade. the GLA have there sniper who can target the drivers of the vehicles. but USA has nothing... [disappointed] I suppose I use the super-weapons general most of the time so I guess that would have to be among my favorites if I had to choose just one... ...but to tell the truth I would have to create a custom general to make my favorite even the Boss General isn't one of my faves even though they have the cool ability to build all three super-weapons. I can build a defense that can't be passed with USA super-weapons General. the only weaknesses for my defense would be the china Inferno cannon and any aurora jets cause they can bypass all defenses until after its unloaded its ammo then it goes down. and any super-weapons or specials that can't be shot down. of course an absurd amount of tanks can do some damage but only human players send enough tanks to get past my defenses no AI comes close, even on the hardest difficulty they can't get past my defenses once they are up. The downside is that in order for my defenses to be fully active because its based on defending against aircraft and tanks so I need the pathfinders to help take out infantry and that requires the 3 star General promotion. Stealth, tanks, aircraft, infantry none of them can come close as soon as everything is up and ready. If I would make a custom General one of the things I would have to do is make it make Pathfinders without promotion or require 1 star promotion so it can be purchased right from the beginning. I also like the infantry mini gunners and stealth hackers being able to hide your economy anywhere outside of stealth detection comes in handy. using GLA that has the GPS scrambler and capture tank general for Emperor overlords... I can't begin to say how much damage 9 Stealth Emperors can do [+1] .

I'm into many generals, but the easiest one to play is demo general, imo. Against AI, you get them fast with almost any tactics, and against other players I just fill up a couple of technicals with terrorists and then go over to their defenses and just put the technicals next to the defenses, wait for them to get destroyed, the defenses get damaged by the explosion, then they get destroyed by the terrorists. After they're gone, I march in with some scorpions and quads if they have choppers or foot-mobiles. :)

Nuke Gen can sorta 'Rush Nuke Cannons'. Thats what I do when my enemy is just right next door. But yeah, they are slow when moving and not really meant to travel far distances if you want to catch the enemy unprepared. In the case of [b]my mod[/b]. Nuke Gen has better Nuke Cannons because of the faster bullet speed and slightly higher 'ShroudReveal'. I like Nuke General. More things I do for Nuke General: >Nuke Guards >Nuke Hunters >Nuke Missile Launcher Upgrade for Overlord >WipeOut Missile >Lots of New Generals powers >Nuke Barrage >Improved Nuke Carpet Bomb(it comes in 3 levels now) >Uchiseki Dome

Personally, I like Nuke General. Reasons: - Tanks are effective to both vehicals an infantry due to the radiation effect - Nuke Cannons at the beginning, all i need to do is get the neutron shells to have my favorite weapon ready - This general in particular urges me subconsciously to be able to build a nuke within about 3 minutes into the game - Gotta love dem migs and nuclear carpet bombs As a side note, I like to 'trade' with allies online using the neutron shells upgrade.

Posted by: Chaos Warrior - Friday, December 26, 2014 6:15:26 AM

Technically, each general has his strengths and weaknesses. Over here, I shall post a brief analysis of the play style of each: USAF: King Raptors with lasers can each deflect the worth of one firing patriot missile, making base invasion on a turtle easy, they also have high damage, awesome reload, and low prices, making them convenient as a main force. Carpet bomb ability without even getting a promotion can be decapitating. However, a mass of quad cannons takes him down, as he has no heavy tanks to counter. His AI is strong if given time, but poor during the early game without a stable economy. Rating: 8 USSW: Particle cannon reduction cost makes it easier to obtain them, and her EMPs can shut down tanks, however she lacks a main tank force, and can easily be ousted by a rusher. Her EMPs have low damage, and leave no rangers. Her AI, to the new player, is overwhelming, but not to difficult against a seasoned player. Rating: 7 USLG: Although this general does not boast many changes, he does, in my opinion, have the best defense system in the game.It can target air force, infantry, and tanks with ease, and can even shoot down SCUD and tomahawk missiles, and then target the vehicles firing long-range-projectiles. His tanks are excellent, but shut down when there is no power source. Invading him is extremely difficult if he employs proper defense. He has an average, slow AI. Rating: 8.5 CIG: This is a very tactical general,since he lacks a main tank battle-force, missing out on all mighty overlord. His helixes, troop crawlers, and assault outposts pack a punch, and his mini-gunners can raze airforce with absolutely no difficulty. His bunker is extremely durable, and can survive a particle beam in motion. However, he lacks firepower and armor to challenge other generals sometimes. He is excellent during early game. His AI is capable, but stands little chance versus the others due to poor infantry management. Rating: 8 CNG: Although seemingly like super weapon, he has a tank force, as well as enhanced power. His fast tanks that leave radiation, explosive migs, and automatic obtaining of nuclear lobs make him one of the most well-rounded generals. His AI is usually extremely strong, especially in late game. Rating: 8.5 CTG: This general's tanks are capable of ripping apart most arsenals, and when equipped with the faster fire rate upgrade, create a superforce combined with emperor overlords. However, it is difficult for this general to break a tough defense, due to lack of ranged weapons. If given time to grow, an overlord rush can be unstopppable. His AI is the easiest to beat, due to simple strategy of tanking. Rating: 8 GLADG: This general is also extremely well rounded, missing out on no tanks. Also, his scud launchers and scud storm sacrifice toxins for high explosives, a worthy trade. His SCUD storm can eliminate super-weapons with one launch. However, his main weapon is his ability to detonate any unit, rendering workers units that can defend a base, and making his infantry difficult to roll over. A rebel ambush can be critical due to demolitions ability, and can take down almost any building. As with all GLA AI*, he is overpowered. Rating: 9 GLASG: With invisible bases, this general can be tough to find, however he is easy to beat. He lacks firepower, due to the absence of scorpions, marauders, and SCUD launchers. Attacking him is easy, but annoying due to the strategic possibilities of stealth units. His units are capable of turning the tide of the battles, as he possesses stealthed sabatours (at all times) and when he captures another technology, the combination of stealth, sneak, and tank can prove devastating. His last buildings can be annoying to find, and one will need to force fire defenses sometimes. His AI is good, but does not compare to the other GLA generals. Rating: 7.5 GLATG: Thrax properly puts use toxins to create a mess on the battlefield, as infantry stands no chance against him. His toxin rebels are more powerful, and can challenge tanks, and even buildings when massed. He is well-rounded, but lacks Demo's explosive touch, making it difficult to wreak havoc with him. Excellent AI can be played, as with all GLA AI's. Rating: 8 I hope this serves as a future reference when determining the best general, although the ratings are from my perspective. *Due to an unknown cause, GLA AI in zero-hour is extremely buffed up, and can take down any other general on a one vs one no matter which map is utilized.

My personal favorite General is Rondal Juhziz, or more commonly known as Demo. First and foremost, unlike his other GLA counterparts, especially Kassad, Juhziz does not leave out any tanks. He has a full arsenal in his arms dealer. This brings us to another point. His motorcycles are already equipped with terrorists. If massed, they could be "slightly problematic", or in another words, make up a devestating attack. Another one of my favorites about Juhziz is that his Palace offers a special upgrade that allows you to detonate [b][/b]ANY unit on the spot. This is especially handy in these three cases: 1. If you want to destroy a superweapon quickly and efficiently, Juhziz is your man. You can use your Rebel Ambush right next to the superweapon, or any other building you want to destroy, and click DETONATE. The rebels' explosion are sure to destroy the targeted building. 2. If your defences are destroyed and you are in bad need of quick defence, Juhziz comes to the rescue. You can order a cheap unit, or the cheapest unit (the Worker), and attack. Place the units in strategic locations between tanks and infrantry and click DETONATE. [color=red][/color]Note: This tactic is not sure to defend your base and be a sustainable defence method, but will prolong your survival. 3. Finally, if a wisecracking player decides to roll over your infrantry, a small surprise is awaiting. For when the infrantry unit dies, an explosion immediately destroys the tank that was picking on your infrantry. So you can rightfully say: "PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE." This explanation on why I prefer Rondal Juhziz is from my perspective and is not meant to change yours.

Airforce for me...King Raptors can rip any USA and China in 5 minutes, and auroras get to survive after bombing because of lasers.

[quote=Commander Ned;135274]My personal favorite General is Rondal Juhziz, or more commonly known as Demo. First and foremost, unlike his other GLA counterparts, especially Kassad, Juhziz does not leave out any tanks. He has a full arsenal in his arms dealer. This brings us to another point. His motorcycles are already equipped with terrorists. If massed, they could be "slightly problematic", or in another words, make up a devestating attack. Another one of my favorites about Juhziz is that his Palace offers a special upgrade that allows you to detonate [b][/b]ANY unit on the spot. This is especially handy in these three cases: 1. If you want to destroy a superweapon quickly and efficiently, Juhziz is your man. You can use your Rebel Ambush right next to the superweapon, or any other building you want to destroy, and click DETONATE. The rebels' explosion are sure to destroy the targeted building. 2. If your defences are destroyed and you are in bad need of quick defence, Juhziz comes to the rescue. You can order a cheap unit, or the cheapest unit (the Worker), and attack. Place the units in strategic locations between tanks and infrantry and click DETONATE. [color=red][/color]Note: This tactic is not sure to defend your base and be a sustainable defence method, but will prolong your survival. 3. Finally, if a wisecracking player decides to roll over your infrantry, a small surprise is awaiting. For when the infrantry unit dies, an explosion immediately destroys the tank that was picking on your infrantry. So you can rightfully say: "PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE." This explanation on why I prefer Rondal Juhziz is from my perspective and is not meant to change yours.[/quote] Very obvious via your portrait.

It is due to his playstyle that differs from the other generals. His warfactory doesn't have tanks (bummer unless u like rockvees), and his planes are an arsenal of their own. Also, i am sure he can safely destroy any USA early game by a kingraptor rush, since they do much damage, and each can deflect up to one patriot battery's payload of missles when fired at it. No nonmissle anti-air exists for the usa before building strategy center (apart from laser turrets which can be taken out by stealth fighters or manuevered by airforce. He can use king raptors to cut he enmy supply lines or harass the dozers. Vs china, (except infantry)unless the opponent quickly masses gattlig tanks, airforce can be used to destoy dosers before they can build too many warfactories. I agree, he is helpless against gla, but overall an interesting general to play with in my opinion.

My favorite is the Airforce General,especially now i edited the King Raptors to have Lasers instead of Missiles [grin] [sunglasses] But when i play a normal game using the Airforce General,my simple strategy when im facing an army of Quads or Gatling tanks is,i usually send out a bait unit first then that will give my Aurora bombers time to destroy those pesky units then i send in my King Raptors to further decimate the base. [wink]

Nuke General...Why? Because I just loved Nuclear Weopons! Just look at that beautiful glow! The bringer of light! The Mother Of All Weopeons!

Well after two years, I'd say my favorite general to PLAY is the Demolition General. Mainly because you can use the general's power "Rebels" to get about 24 rebels to spawn right by an enemies super weapon. After you've gotten the suicide upgrade and then detonate them all at once to totally kill the super weapon. Not to mention his scud launcher are the BEAST! You can totally kill an army with 8 or 10 of those things. I also like how you can make workers "fight" just build a whole bunch of them and go send them off into battle and let them get run over or killed by some enemies lol. His demo traps are very powerful too; can kill a group of 5 or 6 crusaders. But, alas Dr. Thrax is still my favorite character so to speak. He's hilarious, and I love to play with him just as much as the Demo.

Obviously Nuke for the Battle Master suicide rush and all things orange & cloudy.

All, all is good. But I'd rather the normal GLA. But If I have to choose one I think I'll choose General Granger, Air force.[+1]

Adore General Towness ))He is so cute XD Most of his units are armed with laser technology, dealing more damage and having better accuracy than conventional weapons. Making them very straight forward to command. His highly accurate laser weaponry and PDL systems allows Townes to counter enemy aircraft more effectively. His generals powers allow him to train laser units with veterancy!
