Americans: Tomahawk kills Just have a Tomahawk set on
"Guard" on a cliff and it will kill anything with its guided
missiles. It will at times miss fast objects like the GLA Tech,
etc.
Americans: Easy final mission At the start of a game, use
your promotions to obtain an A-10 airstrike, fuel air bombs, and
start building Aurora bombers after you have the Strategy
Center. After that, capture the Chinese base. Build a War
Factory and a few other things. Make about five Overlords, one
with a Propaganda Tower and the rest with Gatling Cannons. Make
another drop zone. Then, start making Inferno Cannons. Leave two
Overlords at your Chinese base. Then havve the rest of your
forces attack the GLA. Also when you have the money, build a
Nuclear Missile and two Particle Cannon Uplinks. Use them on the
GLA and victory is for sure.
Americans: Attack strategy Build a squad of ten to fifteen Humvees. Upgrade them all
with TOW missiles and Battle Drones, but have one with a Scout
Drone. Then buy 50 to 75 Rocket Soldiers and load them up in the
Humvees. This can be used to defend your base or attack your
enemy's base. If you want to capture the enemy buildings also,
build an extra five Humvees and load them up with Rangers, with
Capture Building and Flashbangs. Flashbangs are used to clear
out the garrisoned buildings. Also, upgrade those five Humvees
with Scout Drones.
Easily selecting units When you have several units of
soldiers or vehicles, first select all the units. Then, press
[Ctrl]
and a number (0
to 9)
to find the selected unit.
Americans: Prevent enemy from
passing When your playing as the
Americans, put six Rocket Soldiers and four Snipers inside a
building. They will stop enemy movement near you even the
helicopter combat drop. The Rockets Soldiers will tear apart any
vehicle and airship, while snipers take out Soldiers. You can
use this to defend your base or certain places.
Americans: Helicopter pilots always
eject If you are playing as the
Americans and a ranked helicopter is shot down, you can force
the pilot to eject. Use the green drag-box to try to select the
helicopter as it is falling out of the sky. You will not really
select the crashing aircraft, but the pilot will eject every
time.
Americans: Stronger Humvees When your playing as the USA,
Humvee can become powerful. This is usually best when your
starting out. First, build a Barracks and a War Factory. Next,
build five Rocket Soldiers and a Humvee. Now place the five
soldiers into the Humvee. Your Humvee now uses its default
attack, plus all five soldiers attack also, giving it an
excellent advantage over tanks. With four Humvees you can easily
wipe out a small base. For extra damage, upgrade to TOW
missiles.
Chinese: Easy win First obtain a Radar, then get
a Dozer to build a Supply Depot. Build a Factory and start
pumping out a few APsS and send them to the enemy base. Have at
least two APCs. Then, swam them with your infantry.
No Chinese ground-based invasion is
whole without an ECM tank or two. The best invasion consists of
an even number of Overlord or Emperor Overlord tanks, half of
which are upgraded with Propaganda Towers and half with Gattling
Cannons. The ECM tanks, when close by, will detour more than
half of the missiles fired toward your tank. They can also
deactivate vehicles close by, which is useful when encountering
an Overlord Tank or any other threat.
Chinese: Bigger nuclear explosion First, build a Nuclear Missile.
Then, upgrade the Mine Cluster. When the Nuclear Missile is
built, drop the Mine Custer at the enemy base. After that,
launch the Nuclear Missiles to where you dropped the mine.
Chinese: Defend base Have a few Gattling Tanks and
Tank Hunters to defend the base. Also have a Speaker to heal the
troops. The Tank Hunters will kill every tank and the Gattling
Tank will kill every soldier and aircraft.
Chinese: Free Red Guards When the guard finishes
building, it will come out in pairs. When the first one comes
out, cancel it. You will receive the money back with the free
guard.
GLA: Two armies for the price of one UJust use Jarrem Kell to kill
the driver of an USA or China Construction Dozer. Then, send a
soldier or Jarrem inside the dozer. You will be able to
construct the installations of that army.
GLA: Quick win At the start of the match,
build an Arms Dealer as soon as you can. Once it's established,
build a Technical and send it into your enemies base around the
side where they have no defenses. Considering this is done at
the start, if you were fast enough they will not have any
defenses yet. Once in the enemy's base, start shooting their
supply trucks or running over their workers that are collecting
money. Note:
This will not work if the enemy is the USA so fill the Technical
with Terrorists, go over to their base. and blow up their Supply
Depot. This inexpensive attack will cause severe problems for
your enemy because it will stop them from receiving money for
one minute, allowing you to get an extra $3,000 dollars or so.
If you are playing online, your enemy is likely to surrender
after this.
Homeland Alliance map At the beginning, build a
Bulldozer or Worker. Now send both to the center of the city.
Build a Supply Center and Barracks. Sell your Command Center and
build a new one. It will be easy to guard the city when your
playing against the CPU. Send Missile Defenders, Rpg Troopers,
or Tank Hunters into the buildings at the edges of the cities.
Remain within the city and you will be undefeatable.
Note: This
will work best as the Chinese.
Allied artillery Uust use the Strategy Center's
Bombardment. It will be same as the Artillery.
Note: If you
shoot close to the Strategy Center, it cannot fire.
Multiple Commanche Rocket Pod
attack: When you have upgraded the
Commanche's Rocket Pods, get to the area you want to attack.
Select the Rocket Pod ability. After you initiated the Rocket
Pod attack, switch to the Commanche's normal attack. This is
useful when your destroying a battalion of tanks in close
formation.
Launch two super weapons for the
price of one This trick will only work with
the SCUD Storm. Build a SCUD Storm. Once you can fire it, click
on it once. Then, attack a target like you would with a regular
unit. You will not hear any message that the SCUD Storm has been
launched. You have to wait for the first nine SCUDS to drop
before you can fire it normally.
Taking out large groups of infantry
and tanks/buildings Make as many Humvees as you
want. Create an even number. Upgrade to TOW Missiles. Fill half
of the Humvees with Snipers and the other half with Missile
Defenders, RPG Troopers, or Tank Hunters. If you want to capture
buildings, make another set of Humvees with Rangers, Red Guards,
or Rebels and upgrade them to "Capture Buildings".
Americans or Chinese: Effective base First, build two Construction
Dozers. When they are built, build two Supply Depots and send
those two Construction Dozers to the area that you are
defending. When you have the money and power, build a Bunker and
a Gattling Gun beside it. When done with this, build more
Gattling Guns and three or four more Bunkers. Fill the Bunkers
with Rocket Soldiers. When they attack, the Rocket Soldiers will
tear the vehicle up and the Gattling Gun will kill the men. When
they attack by air, both the Rocket Soldiers and Gattling Guns
will defend your base.
Americans or Chinese Using GLA as
secondary force This trick is best used when
fighting against hard or brutal enemies. First, fight against a
GLA foe. They will always build a Resource Collection building
at other collection points other than the one closest to their
base. Allow them to do this. Send a few Paladins with by a duo
of Humvees to wipe out one of these secondary bases. Then
capture the building, and build a Worker. Send him back to your
base and you can start your own GLA force.
Flying man Simply destroy one of the GLA's
assault trucks and the rebel in the back will go airborne.
Note:
At times the rebel can get hit when falling if there area lot of
Technicals, however this is rare.
