[C&C Zero Hour] Speedrun - Nuke Challenge on Hard mode

[@MarkofWisdom]

"You can tell your three eyed grandchildren all about your defeat this day!" You know, thinking about it more after hearing Dr Thrax again-he really is rather nice all things considered. He still has full confidence in you not only having children, but even grandchildren with no issue even after becoming a horrific mutant abomination. He's even willing to make house calls

[@endme6105]

MarkofWisdom I agree

[@Asidders]

Because I was a little kid when first playing this, I can never un-hear what I heard them as the first dozen times I played them. In my head it goes: Thrax: "Prepare to tell your *free-eyed gentlemen* of your defeat this day!" Kwai: "This area was once *fatal* farmland. Soon your blood will make it *fatal* again."

[@MarkofWisdom]

@@Asidders free eyed grandchildren and fatal farmland are pretty entertaining as far as mishearing words goes, and it would be in character for Kwai and Thrax since both have a couple of screws loose

13:20-Yep, a massive middle finger to that particular defense tower, getting directly nuked. 1:41:30 or so-yep, her massive pack of avengers for AA ~1:47:20-"Do not try to make a greater horde than China"- *is China faction* "errr...." "We are immune to your nuclear missiles....err, perhaps not that many nukes!.....why did you launch a nuke directly at a single dozer!?" Awesome playthrough, really cool to see

[@SireSquish]

That dozer will quickly rebuild her command centre, and then spawn more dozers. She has practically infinite money because of a bunch of 3 chevron hackers. If she starts spawning scaffolds even, then you have to go and clean those up.

[@MarkofWisdom]

I know why he did it-I've done it myself too. It's still an amusing thought though -"NUKE THE DOZER! NUKE IT! NUKE IT!" SW spam to cripple her base and prevent her from rebuilding is a pretty useful method to beat her. I think she actually does have near infinite money via coding, or her supply piles are absurdly large

[@SireSquish]

Nah she doesn't have free infinite money, as I have many times just toyed with her after sneaking through snipers or flat out just dumping superweapons on the hackers. I would get to invested in punishing her and spend hours boxing up the whole base while building an impenetrable front around the bridge. Also I like to carve up that Chinese-letter hedge thing as an added insult, and nuke it right before finishing off the last building so the nuke lands in the middle of the ending animation. The might of (my faction) falls upon YOU now Leang

[@jvbutalid8316]

General Townes was a buggy general to fight against, in my copy of ZH. I had a hard time winning against him particularly when I formally invade his base. At least that's what happens except when I'm using General Granger. Another strange thing is that he doesn't rebuild his defenses whenever they're destroyed, and even at hard he doesn't send that many units.

[@reymiguelperez6643]

I really learned a lot from your game play that si why I subscribed. But I have a feedback at 1:19:56 I think when you nuked General Kwai's base to submission you forgot General Tsing Shi Tao's most potent weapon, the Nuke Canon. Based on my experience playing the hard mode, General Kwai had so many tanks in store such as the annoying ECM tanks to neutralize the Nuke Battlemasters and Nuke Overlords of General Tao. The Nuke Canon is the only one that can decimate them easily. But I understand your preference because you are on the rush. Nuke Canons are too slow for your speedrun game play.

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

What's the core strength of Gen Tao? It's my favourite Gen but I don't rly get behind his strengths. From the vid I get "build freakin overlords" which seemingly is the way how to china in general. - Faster Overlords are okay, that's pretty good! - Very few power plants to build ... so I can use the extra money and time for tech? .... is that like a big strength? Curious cuz I am noob and and yet can't benefit form it if that's the case. - Super cool and hard hitting Mics he didn't even use ... because the upgrade gets value too late? Planes r too expansive/ mostly one way ticket? - Expansive Helix with nukes that will make the Helix basically a suicide bomber.... also not used? - Super slow and fragile advanced artillery that hits so unforgivingly brutal that even the bots will focus it TF down at any cost Tell me pls where my strengths, I love radiation.

[@adrianalconis4720]

Generally you have 1 min to make stuff or less than 1 min since she has 3 Comanche helicopters followed by general skill , usually gla can build faster with barracks and immediate stinger sites but usa and China needs power plants or they are 50% slower in production , just dont build too far in the start and you're good to go also the A.I for the 3 airplane attack only happens to either your Command center or a group of building and units its will be very predictable once 1-4 tries of the challenge the particle cannons goes like this Barracks,WarFactory,Palace(Propaganda Center,Stratergy Center) or a group of power plants and units just put alot of spacing so that the A.I wouldn't be forced to use it on them
