ZH Campaign - GLA Mission 5 (Hard)

[@hydekido7506]

"My general,we need to build a scud storm" "no we don't" LOL

[@rubberduck8594]

I just did a really simple one, flew a helix up north with a worker and some Rebels, then took over the Oil Derricks and built plenty of Black Markets while I held the south, then I scraped up like 20.000 and buiilt four Scud Storms, and eventually two more plus Nukes while I held the south. I also built some quad cannons up in the north for the paratroopers. And Bob's your uncle easy as pie, I nuked and scudded the whole map in record time.

[@jfbxjk3037]

i did the same but without this oils, i didn't know about them to the end :D

[@lidiouz1439]

after coming back to my childhood game I got very confident that I can just complete this game on hard mode. Yup, I regretted it

[@DetectiveLevi]

can you do it now

[@CallsignFinch-exe]

you clearly did not build enough black markets

[@zerodornar]

[@sleazykilla360]

if you play on hard, this mission is fucking hard to beat.

[@SletteMetteCPR1620]

it's impossible.. maybe if you are superfast to build and manage units.. and lucky in your fights.. it's absolutely bs..

[@ahsansyarafi1185]

After I failed this mission i search on Google n find out this is tough ever mission

[@jakabrobert96]

I thought China Mission 3 in Zero Hour is the hardest, until I tried this monstrosity on hard. This mission on hard is (at least for me), by far the hardest and probably most annoying mission in the entire game. Not only you have to be quick, but you have to micromanage a lot of stuff,and if you don't build a SCUD/Nuke or get the Anthrax bomb, you'll have a much harder time dealing with the US base. One notable difference between medium and hard is the usage of Avengers, which is a perfect counter for your Helixes, but at least a huge nuisance to deal with. Personally, I built one SCUD, with which I targeted enemy unit clusters that were particularly difficult to get rid of, or just where the most anti-air units were at the time. I don't ever, EVER want to do this mission again on hard, it gave me a huge headache. And yes, I know if I find this difficult, what would I say to the challenges on hard? Simple, I won't do them on hard :P This is my limit, I feel.

[@myles117]

i know they are old but I love your videos and have used them to beat the campaigns on hard mode for first time. thanks for your guides! this game will never stop being awesome

[@Westwood1989]

+myles117 Thanks! Im glad thar my videos were able to help you through!

[@numbersstationsarchive194]

I'm amazed no one has mentioned this yet. If you free the POWs in the southwest US base, but DON'T direct them back to their base, the mission scripting will break. The US will never use their particle cannons and they'll never send waves of units to attack you. You can just waltz in with an army of rocket buggies/inferno cannons and flatten everything. Then, to finish the mission, just transport the POWs back to their base and the mission will end. I did this accidentally on easy difficulty on the brand new Steam release of ZH, so I don't know whether this works on other difficulties or on disc copies.

[@TheRabbitFear]

I find it way easier to make lots of helix then once he has 3 particle cannons send them west to east and destroy the power plants on the high ground and leave the helix where all the power plants were so he can't rebuild them. After that just make loads more helix then regroup them and send them in focusing on the laser things

LOL "we need to build a scud storm" "no we don't"

[@stargazer2280]

Well would you look at that? They managed to predict the outcome of the 20 year Afghan War and US's retreat in Afghanistan

[@Westwood1989]

They sure did

[@splendadaddy2933]

Give it time, I'm sure we will be back over there at some point.

[@splendadaddy2933]

Also i bet the women over there are so glad we pulled out as well. I mean who wants equality and freedom in 2022 anyway right? I'm sure isis k and the Taliban will treat them just fine....

[@shido8597]

@@splendadaddy2933 why you need to be back? The US can't even spend another trillion dollar war there.

[@splendadaddy2933]

@@shido8597 military complex is why. Too many government contracts were tied into the war in Afghanistan. By leaving they can no longer profit from it. So belive me. As greedy as some of these corporations are we will be there or somewhere again soon. Why do you think so many politicians want us to get involved with the Ukraine crisis so badly?

[@DCProductions77]

Okay i see people saying they built some scud storms. After watching this mission i try to use less scud storms on missions if i don't have to. The only time i actually use a super weapon is to destroy their super weapon. In this one i don't have to use a super weapon cause i destroy the third particle cannon with about 10 helos with rocketeers. And in some challenges when certain generals have like 5 nukes, yes ill build then. But if i don't have to, i don't. And after i blow up their nukes, particle cannons or scuds, i let them blink like they are ready. Watching this dude teaches you how to spam tanks and keep sending troops and building. They key is gathering money and stop enemies from attacking it. Its harder, but its definitely funner. Heck i don't even save anymore if i can't beat it first try then i start over.

[@Rich__L]

The top left corner has a repair bay and 4 oil derricks. No need for black market spam.

[@Westwood1989]

Thanks :) I prefer blackmarkets, because you can´t destroy them so easiely and they produce more money compared to the hackers

[@verinityvoid]

I like that, " Now he is going to get melted." Made me laugh

[@muffZor89]

ignoring the amount of oil derricks on the top left? 4 right next to eachother and oil refinery? could have saved alot of cash, but great videos man !

[@SuperiorAmericanGuy]

The US Air power and tanks kept overpowering my Chinese tanks and quad cannons

[@TheCanelaFina]

Chinese tanks are shit in the game. As hard (light) as the GLA tanks and shoot slow. GLA tanks are better. Just build helixes

[@SuperiorAmericanGuy]

Yeah but they got raptors, avengers and paladin tanks not to mention a couple particle cannons.

[@MrRenix1990]

Instead "sneak attack" the developpers should have called this mission "invasion" or "insurgency", it would have sound better than the original name

[@antizionust9868]

MrRenix1990 no

[@MrRenix1990]

+Anti Zionust why not?

[@antizionust9868]

MrRenix1990 i just think that this is pretty much the goal in this game, to invade, so if you want to call a mission "invade" it kinda suits all other missions while "sneak attack" is way better

[@BSSVK]

Good play buddy :) and.. I don't udnerstand, why the Helixes has such a low life. They're looking huge, and their life is like a infantry. I like your gameplays!

[@Porkeater2610957]

In this mission i Used the helixes to fly to the island up north and sell my base in the south, that way I only had to deal with air units and particle canons.

[@jayrodriguez439]

Smart.

[@jcdenton2187]

Not a bad idea! How did you deal with the US support base before the POWs get moved though?

[@demibasan1714]

@@jcdenton2187 i guess he deals with base then he goes to the island

Hab ein paar. Du findest sie über meine Website in der Kategorie "other videos" - Casting with friends. Ansonsten denke ich werde ich keine deutschen Aufnahmen hier hochladen, da der Großteil der Zuschauer kein Deutsch versteht. Wenn ich was hochlade, möchte ich das für alle hochladen und nicht nur für eine bestimmte Gruppe von Zuschauern.

[@joebloggs479]

I always found it quite funny that a friend of mine lived in Vaihingen

[@seanandre2736]

You are absolutely unstoppable when you built an economy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Verkili]

You know, this game's plot would have made a LOT more sense if the GLA invaded Africa, not Germany. That would be much more plausible since so many African armies are pretty ineffective and corrupt, and china would have much more reason to intervene if the GLA hit Africa since they have so many economic interests tied up in that continent.

[@trueredpanda1538]

Well, the beginning was help enough, I had money problems, but using the helix to capture the american base was a great idea, I did get it down eventuly, but ion cannons got me all the time, because I used time to take out the base with migs 😂

[@Zen-751]

why so many black markets and not hackers? dude your videos are awesome because your commentary... and your accent

i missed the old clips when it did not put in the the first decade

[@kashifshah8980]

In almost 13 or 15 min us makes particle cannon and also lots of air attacks come too in hard mode it doesn't looks like a hard mode

[@Camelo711]

yes i was meaning about waypont,Thanks danpaladin , , its were helpful for me

[@Westwood1989]

Wubs .. ^^ thanks for the info

[@kayra8859]

I thing gla is A bit owerpowerd just need a airforce and better tanks :/

[@perrypougins379]

They don't have airforce,their tanks can salvage parts of destroyed vehicles to become better in combat and they have some op units like angry mob so they are fine

[@matt_canon]

The GLA doesn't really need those, as they are based on the 3rd world paramilitary/ terror cells which lack air and armor. They aren't equiped to fight a conventional war, but that being said, this is how I would balance them out... What the GLA needs is a more efficient way to deploy demo traps without the micromanagement. Rather than having a worker build one a time, having them build multiple ones with the option key. -- Next, they need their own snipers that function similarly to pathfinders, not just Jarmen. -- And lastly, the suicide bomber/terrorists should have the ability to either disguise themselves as enemy infantry, or also be stealthed with the palace upgrade for the rebels. Everything has a counter though, an air force attack can be shredded by avengers, gatlin defenses, and quad cannons. And the classic massive tank rush can be thwarted by a few well placed demo traps, garrisoned RPGs/ battle busses, supported by rocket buggies and scuds. Depending on the strategy, hundreds of units can be destroyed with only a handful of casualties.

[@mountexplo]

this isn't HARD ....

[@thedeatheater5665]

Very very easy

[@alotfy14]

why did u want that strategy center?

[@cameronrebok3827]

there is separate ones. they put all games together, but mabye they put the news in the command and conquer zero hour in the first decade pack

Westwood how do you mark units where to go , i mean that like you were in usa base near you , destroy it and marked rebel to collect all junk around command center, how do you do that? fnx, please reply and more videos!!

[@toppe5734]

16:19 how did you do that?

[@element1935]

alt + right click

[@Poynting_Vector]

do you mean setting waypoint so the unit will walk from point to point. because that is done by holding the alt-key and then placing the waypoint whit the mouse just like you would reguallary move your units. O BTW sorry for my bad English.

[@demibasan1714]

i dont get it whats the point of having 2 strat centres from the us there?

Thanks☺️

[@Denosyn]

well done

[@seanandre2736]

Thanks, man.

[@justinepalanio9775]

The bunkers you destroyed at 26:05 if you capture it, does your buildings will get fortified ? It takes 4 scud launchers in this mission to take out a single US command center WTF

[@cncHD]

What do you mean with old clips? Do you mean the old clips from the older cnc games?

[@yerr234]

this mission was pain in my ass for a while but sneaked some tanks and rebels to infiltrate USA base

[@michaelkartmann3468]

why do you want to get 2 strategy-Centers? below you said to get mor units. But you would have got the units with just one Strategycenter.

[@freshrockpapa-e7799]

Because having 2 different strategies is OP?

[@danmanjones]

lol u forgot to use strategies @ strategy centers & also the subliminal messaging upgrade that you mentioned twice... I'm not finished video yet but it looks like you're not using the free China units from top left either..... just saying :)
