HELP PLEASE!!! nuke general vs Leang

[Alex_111]

Hello
I played with nuke general on hard mode but i stuck against general leang. every tactic i tried was a failure. Can somebody can help me with
a tip, hint , cheats (for fast building of base)
I am desperate......:( I searched internet but didnt fint anything about it. For example how can i stop her MIGs?
My main problem is that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to build a base so fast (as the way written) in many walkthroughs.
If it is possible can someone post A DETAILED (step by step) tactic how to beat her? you know on Hard Mode the cycle is 11:58 (not 15 minutes as written in many FAQ's)
So...Thanks in Advance
I hope you'll read this and help me
;)

In hard mode AI units have more HP, more ROF and damage than normal units. That's why its units are so tough to beat then.
The BO should be the same as in normal but with less flaws. Have u already look around in older posts for this info?
Well, anyway i'll leave u a brief BO:

Dozer1 >> PPlant (west from your CC)
Dozer2 >> rax (east from CC, beetween CC and oil) >> 2 RG + capture
Dozer1 >> Supply >> one extra truck
Dozer2 >> WFactory (south of oil, near the bridge) >>1 Gatt + outpost
WFactory >>2 BM or outpost to get rid of paladins
Dozer1 >> Propaganda Center (in the SouthWest corner) (don't finish it before ready;). Stop it at 95%-99%)
WFactory >> 1or2 Dtank +1 gatt (to help in the tunneling) (read ahead)
Dozer2 >> Bunker( West from CC) + fill it with TH (as soon as u have PCenter built u'll be tunneled from the cliff North from CC. It's always the same place so if the first time it runs bad get it better in the next)
Dozer1 >> finish PCenter
Micro DTank to flamewall the tunnel and the bunker to attack the Overlord
PCenter >> Subliminal msg
WFactory >>2 Overlords+ 1 nuke or 2 infernos + ECM + 2 gatt
rax >> Lotus

Now its time to expand. Equip 1 OLord with Prop and the other with Gattcannon. Escort'em with the ECM against buggies. Move East, crush the bunkers on the cliff then move to the plateau. Use Lotus to explore and to capture oil (always protect oil with gatts positioned North to each, as u should know, their AF are on the N.E. of the map).
Dozer1 >> build Supply on the S.E. supply >> bring other trucks
There's some money crates around, if short on money grab'em.
Dozer1 >> Build Nuke silo (or maybe 2 if the money floats) >> research neutron
Dozer2 >> PPlant
Dozer2 >> InternetC + both satt hacks asap
rax >> some hackers if u have the spare money
By now, it's time to crush the 1st of Leang's tech buildings. (The first is right there, guarded by few men. U can capture it with Lotus for the same effect)

Now, in the plateau u'll just need 2 Olords on the west bridge (1 prop, other gatt) to shut it off.
Use the nukecannon neutron on enemy OLords and tunnels to clear'em and get in your way.

final tips: Build at least 2 nuke silos (more are not needed if those are well used).
Use your SW (artillery, carpetbomb and of course nukes) on the Leang's AF/WF zone (not in her SWs, it will just make'em be rebuilt with few recharge time). Remember AF/WF are the prime targets but do not forget to crush tech buildings when the time reaches near zero.
And then go advancing with a mix of 2 Olords, 1 nukeC, 1or2 ECM and 2 gatt.
That's all. GG;)

Well, it turned to be not so brief after all:D.

i got advice from Nemesis long time ago about beating leung. the thing is u should try to get a hold on the hill north of ur base. what usa can do is chinook drop off a dozer, and gla simply put worker on bike and run up there. but as china, i think u should get a helix load some rocket soldiers and a dozer up there. but from what C4 wrote, it sounds pretty good. so give a try.

I don't see anything wrong with lixmass + gatts/dragons to push forward and get the east. Maybe try that if C4's master plan fails. ;)

[Alex_111]

thanks a lot;) I'll try it;)

In fact there's nothing wrong with that. But remember it is hard mode and it's amazing the speed at what gatts chew any aircraft (even lixes). But apart from gatts and TH everything is easy prey. Dtanks also have some problems with the cliffs cause their turret can't point 'em well. Anyway it is a nice strategy. I'll try it myself next.

To yuri: Hold the Northern hill is tough (heavy rain by migs and EXTRA strong Dtanks) but possible. Anyway it is easier to hold'em at the bridge. And temporarily cause as soon as u reach the main bridge (the big one) all enemy army flows from there.

[yurihomer]

well, the advice i got from nemesis is to pass the 1st bridge north. u should see a TV building, that building only allow 8 soldiers to garrison but its extra stong. so stick8 rocket soldiers there and put a dozer or whatever beside to repair and ecm/avenger to zap missiles from migs.

[Alex_111]

i tried it .......but it is just IMPOSSIBLE :\. she is always one idea ahead of me:mad:
When i cross the eastern bridge, gatts and ecm were already gone(heavy bombardment), i got only two olords and nuke. then she distract my attention bombarding my base. then migs shoot the cannon and it's all over.:(
please send me some cheats

The problem are the Dtanks which can easily sustain a barrage from 8 TH (one may fall but two easily reach the building and byebye TH. Remember it's HARD and Leang's units already are tougher than normal units even in normal). And Migs are evil, even with ECM help.:rolleyes:

To Alex_111: Man, forget about cheats.:wtf: First, u should never ask for cheats, second, the game doesn't have any, third, i'd never tell u anything related even if i knew it. The game is unfair, yes. If u don't want to play it that way, play it NORMAL until u have your strategy optimized (u've got some tips by now).
One last tip to add: Migs tend to attack buildings, particularly tech ones like oil rigs and artilleries. Capture one and then place some gatts North of it and a dozer South of it to repair. This trick would chew some of their "stupid" migs coming straight to the building (do not work everytime but often enough). This way u'll keep her airforce with few numbers.

BTW, her bunkerlixes are deadly so keep some spare gatts around your base as money is floating.

And remember, time is on her side so, advance to capture key points. Well i've already said that on my first post... move move move!;)

[yurihomer]

well, i guess i am lucky then :D, since i garrisoned in the building for entire game

Since I see you asking for cheats, I hope you get no help what-so-ever, and continue to fail.

Hey Guys I almost did it . C4 THANKS FOR YOUR HELP:) :) :)
but another problem came.... can anybody explain me why at some point the game begin lagging ? every save i made is damaged.
Any solution? to reinstall ZH? or something

C4 once again thanks for paying attention and helping me :)

[C4]

Any solution?
It's not your saves that are damaged. It's a problem on the AI scripts. It happens (sometimes) on Laser General home (specially if u are Nuke), as well on Leang's. The problem is related with the AI lack of dozers (and of course CC) so the solution is, when final-attacking try to end the game by destroying quickly the enemy's base. In Leangs's, u "just" need to finish every unit-production-facility to win.
...But sometimes the game really gets so lagged to an unbearable status; if this happens,... u have no choice other than restart the level.;)

Keep on the good road...

I did it... I beated the final boss
C4, Thanks sincerely for helping me and paying attetion to my post. Your strategy is very effective especially for the begginning, then i followed the instructions but (as Guns N Roses say) I "used my illusion" , capture some avengers which "eat" down the migs, block the two bridges with empty vehicles ( Neutronned), and then final step - D-Day landing (with 3 Olords) in the NE part of the base (where airfields are). The rest was easy.
Thanks once again and i wish you all the best.
Thanks and to all others who answered my post
Thanks guys.
You helped me very much.
All the best.:)

I made it my priority to get my Internet Center first, full of Hackers in order to get some cash. Once you have a steady cash flow, theres nothing she can do. So concentrate on getting your Supplies.

I built a single Gatt Cannon and two bunkers full of Tank Hunters at every entrance, and at choke points.

To take the east, i built Inferno Cannons, with the Black Napalm upgrade. They are very effective by themselves in quick rushes. Once you eliminate the garrisoned buildings, you can send in MiGs to finish up, or Helix's with Nuke Bombs if you can afford them.

Once you take the east, secure it. You should take out that first bunker, since you will probably be close to the Superweapon countdowns. There are two supply piles on the East, build Supply Center's and 2 Trucks at each. Capture all the tech buildings, especially the derricks.

You should have some cash flowing through by the time you're ready to move to the next area. Build 5 Battlemasters for the Horde Bonus, and then 4 Overlords, give two of them Propaganda Towers and the other 2 Gatt Cannons. These will easily clean up the rest of her forces, just keep pumping out tanks and if you get the chance, send them all at her.
