The 5th and final condensed homage to the classic Generals Zero-Hour Generals Challenge mode.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS CAMPAIGN WILL ONLY WORK WITH ROTR 1.87, NOT 1.86. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE ALL MISSIONS ON 1.86 DUE TO THE CHANGES BETWEEN THE TWO VERSIONS.
As there has been a new version of 1.87 (2.0) I recommend you use that version to play this campaign. Using the previous version of 1.87 may work, however I cannot guarantee it.
To install 1.87, you must first become a member of SWR Productions, simply go to:
Forums.swr-productions.com
and register in order to download the latest version. Instructions on how to download 1.87 will be in the '1.87 Public Build Testing'. You don't have to be an active member, and it doesn't cost anything. Just use your membership to download if you wish.
To play this campaign, extract the mission files from the .zip file into:
Documents>Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data>Maps
Then open Rise of the Reds, go to Skirmish>Unofficial Maps, and they should be in there.
This is a fan-made heir to the beloved Generals Challenge from Zero Hour.
There are a few differences from the original however. Instead of fighting one General at a time, you will fight all three faction generals.
Each General will become active after a certain amount of time and will have unique attack teams and tactics to attempt to defeat you. You will have time to build up your base and forces so use it wisely before the first General becomes active and attacks.
Your aim is to push through the Chinese Horde and destroy the Airships commanding the seemingly endless army. Be aware however, as China will not surrender as easily as other factions.
This folder contains all five ROTR factions:
USA, China, GLA, Russia and ECA.
There is also a ReadMe file containing intelligence of each General's tactics and unique units.
Good Luck, General
Great job. You finished the last map. Will test it out later.
I wonder what Jin will use consider his limited unit pool. Probably just lots of airships, ecm tanks and redguards to compensate.
hmmm......... nice work ! but what are you planning to do next ?
Rise of the Reds 1.87 USA Africa campagin maybe
Yes, but not for a while.
what do you mean?☆☺
I'm going to take a break before tackling the campaign.
but you know that USA is the best faction so why you didnt make it the first campagin for 1.87 ?
That is subjective, personally I like playing as the ECA as I'm a very defensive player. Besides, to me China and USA are the least interesting lore-wise hence why I left them to last.
ok thx for reporting me
but if you really love eca why you didnt make the 1st campagin for eca ?
I needed to test my skills with world builder before tackling ECA so I consider everything before that practice campaigns
Whew finally my semester exam is over and until then i found this. But shame i feel tired after playing some megaman games and i kinda have a very bad mood and as i said earlier super tired.
I better try to beat this challenge later.
No worries mate, no need to rush into playing the map.
This is not an easy map. Hell, it's definitely harder than all other Challenges.
The ECM strike can shut down your base while screwing your AA. The Migs never stop comming and worse, nuke cannons everywhere. Don't expect entering the city and getting out of there alive without some serious scouting.
Also, the radar shroud keep getting reset everytime your base got shutdown. So you will be playing blind most of the time.
This map is a masterpiece. You can see that alots of interesting ideas was put into it.
Haven't seen any bug on my first run but I will try it again next week to check.
Thank you so much for the feedback, I feel that this map design has been my best and I'm glad you rate it so highly. Your contribution has always helped me to create these missions to the best of my ability, thank you :)
boi i should try this out cuz you said that hard
try beat this challenge as USA or ECA.
Use commanche to defend your base against Nuke Cannon as USA,
While ECA you can deploy bulldog turret near the nuke cannon and after the nuke cannon destroyed, Turn the bulldog turret into the passive mode so whenever the nuke cannon came up you can turn the turret to the active mode.
tested and i will rate for the difficulty as 16/16(The Most Hardest or Just Hardest Challenge)
NOTE : Reason i said Just Hardest challenge because this challenge still beatable as other faction so yeah believe me.
This is one of the hardest challenge after USA Challenge.
This is only the challenge where the fortress are super heavily defended by propaganda airship.
Although they had a similar way to beat like GLA. They are pretty different.
Using a propaganda airship as their own hideout + all of the propaganda airship must be destroyed in order to make them surrender may giving a same experience of beating DTA Soviet Campaign Mission 6 : Truly Desperate Grip.
As assaults General Chen was kinda giving me a medium threat but as USA i can defend my base with Drone Hive,Garrisoned buildings,and Patriot Missiles.
General Mau is annoying, His Inferno MiG,Nuke Cannons,and his artillery almost giving me a bad time.
Worse thing is if you focus your frontline defense too much your command center would down soon by Han Gunship with nuke upgrade. Dammit
Jin has an ability to hack your command center and shut down your battlefield control. After your battlefield control back online guess what?
Your radar got sabotaged after the hacking done.
I would like to try this tommorow as my hand got comfortable at this moment.
Basically from easiest to hardest so yeah wish me luck to beat this challenge.
*uncomfortable
whelp i should reduce my rating to 15/16(Insanely Hard)
Because 16/16 is The Most Hardest and has very small chance to beat the challenge.
I already recorded ECA And USA. It should be uploaded soon on my YT Channel.

Update : I realize that most of my challenge forgot to include the mouse cursor. Will try to put it later
