Stuck with general challenges and want some help? here is a Guide i made to help you. I have beaten the game with almost all of the generals and this from my experience the best way to beat the generals
Harder Generals.
Nuke General
Nuke General can be tricky especially with the mega Nuke, positioning your buildings is key, Tao seems to target mainly the top of your base and in the middle of the battlefield.
Trick: have lots of air, position them in the middle of the map so when he launches his nukes he is more inclined to target them saving your base. Position your money making buildings to the far bottom right as well as a second base. His units occasionally go to attack them but rarely ever nukes the bottom right.
Demo General is tough, micro your units like it's life or death is key, Base positioning is also key as well.
There is a lot of elements to this battle that makes it is hard, but once you know them you can easily stop his timed attacks. Most of his general powers arrives when he launches his skuds. There is no real point using general powers to take out his skud as his buildings are heavily resistant to explosives.
So, when up against good old demo gen, if you are the USA, spam UAV drones up the top of the map, if your china, use KIROVS; and planes for GLA. if you are too slow or you are about to die, Keep restarting, it's hard but not impossible. Timing is key. At the start of the game YOU NEED TO GET Defenses UP THE TOP ASAP! also, get a turents bottom left to your base two as he sends bikes early. When you have lots of air you don't need to worry as much. When he attacks you with the Nuke launchers, don't panic use your general powers, if you are USA use drones to go over and attack them as he dons't use any stealth detection, If you are China use the unit defect ability, if GLA use your hijack. Using other General powers to take them out is also recommended.
Tiger General
Tiger Spams air and Artillery to take you down, but knowing the right time will win you the game.
So first thing you need to know, to beat her it's a marathon not a sprint. Super weapons is the key. As soon as the game starts you NEED to get defenses to the right asap as she sends tanks to take you out. Protect the oil rig. Be careful with spacing in your base as well. Build AA like there is no tomorrow, also get some units that counts AA such as air, when you hear "KROV REPORTING" that usually means that she's getting ready to attack so prepare for mass air. If you hold off the first wave, the rest of the game should be easy.
Super Weapons General
first of all, i hope you like spending a whole day trying to beat this level. Second you need to have your APM of a professional Korean Starcraft player.
okay so spacing and repairing is key. Timing is key, knowing her scripts is key (know when things happens), killing her airfields is key and her super weapons is key.
When your first start the game, get turrents up the top (but not too close to your command center) her Alpha bombers is cancer and raparing your command center is key. YOU NEED TO CONSTANTLY SAVE YOUR GAME! secondly, get a barracks next to the two oil derricks, capture them asap and spam out AA. If you some how survive, she will use her general powers to constantly take out your supply center or war factory. so when you hear her ability go off, move all your trucks or slaves away. Keep in mind she attacks from the back of your base too. so make sure you have land mines defense there to stop her from doing damage. Get your money making buildings up to the right (behind the hill on the other side near her particle cannon) as she dosn't attack there too often nor use her powers to attack it. When you get your generals powers up, TAKE OUT HER AIRFiELDS, making sure she can't bomb you is key. Particle strikes are nothing compared to her bombers. Build super weapons up but make sure you are killing her airfields and defending. Once your super weapons is are up start to take out her command center and airfields, making sure you can't rebuild her airfields, no airfields = easy win. When they are taken care of super weapon the rest of her base and close the game.
EASIER GENERALS
Tank General
Not even hard compared to the rest of them, here is a small strat to take him out, use hijackers to constantly take his tanks, KIROVS to pummel him, lots of air for the USA
Toxin
super weapon him lots and if you are China, use land minds to traffic jam his tanks.
Stealth
AIR and mass super weapon
Town.
Stealth units, not even joking if you play as the stealth general, you can build a base inside his. Super weapons work too
Air Force
lots of AA and just build lots of tanks and roll in.
LAST TIP
if you want to beat the game easy with no stress, play as stealth and win with no skill lol
EASIEST generals to play as
Air general
Tank General
Stealth General
Special Weapons General
If i missed anything or have any questions lemme know! or if you have any questions
Oh hey, a tutorial <3
This actually gives me some good feedback on what challenges may be a bit too difficult, and which generals are too easy to play... Stealth.
lol don't change the hard ones, that is what makes it fun aha probs should make laser and make tank general super mass produce tanks.
aha all good i noticed people kept bugging you about it and thought this can help you out lol
Much appreciated. Just tweaked some stuff in Laser Gen in the last day or two because Laser is getting a new defensive structure next update. Shhh.
Tank Gen I just replaced some Helixes with Kirovs and everything seems painful again.
ahaha sweet! bring on the pain aha
these challenges remind me of contra 009
it has similar experience
general tao has nuclear storm
infantry is really op and yeah nuclear cluster missile
and in contra you only can build 1 superweapon only
i hope i can see the fai,deathstrike,and ironside challenge map to see how it looks like in chaos

hi, just wondering how I get the "alpha generals 20 30" powers? I can get the first row of ability's but cant get the rest. thanks
You need to rank up to level 20 and 30 respectively. It takes a bit longer than the old rank system.
Did you guys know that you can overload china's reactors without them being damaged?
Tank gen and stealth gen are the easiest to beat, Toxin too
Superweapon and Laser are kinda beatable
Airforce is just a piece of garbage, you literally can't build sh-t, you build a defense turret you lose 5 ones
His aircraft is much tankier and more annoying cause of their stealth and stuff
His gen powers sometimes hit you from behind so they're impossible to interrupt
And your supplies are a lot less since you have only one oil derrick
Nuke will make your life a living hell (Quite literally)
Demo sends you a tiny tank at the start of the game, by 6 mins in you will be sieged by 5341358 tanks and 69 topols from the south after being bombed down by his superweapons
Also the Spy drone cooldown is much longer now + They are useless since demo sends radar trucks, so you're basically blind facing him
Pls help
Capture all the resources as fast as possible against air and spam stuff
uhh so when using hijackers against Tank gen, if a hijacked tank dies, 2 hijackers come out of it instead of 1
It's so funny xD
Hey
There's a bug in Superweapons gen challenge if you play against her using stealth, She instantly kills your workers instead of giving you like a minute to build or something

There is a bug when playing as stealth general against stealth general: When you destroy everything, the game doesn't end and you get stuck. Iscanned the entire map and found nothing. Yet, the game is stuck.
Hello Everyone. I got to challenge 9/9 Hard (kassad vs kassad) and it was hell especially with Dr.Thrax and Alexander. But when i cleared everything on the map and then saved just to be sure the save got corrupted. when i tried again same bug. i cannot win at the end ?
so im stuck as the train conductor vs trax, specifically the blimos and the e100/maus tanks, mind you im on hard. Also is there any advise for playing as the leftovers general.
i beat thrax it took me save scumming. i could still use advise on playing as deathstrike

How do I even beat Thrax as China that's not Leang? Specifically as Tao. Thrax's blimps are just way too tanky, and gatling won't be enough to destroy it. There's also the issue with his cancerous arty that's pretty much has no counter since it outranges all Tao defenses and arties destroying all of your base defenses if you tries to play turtle. There's also the ticking time bomb that is his 2 SW that you can't really do anything against.
Playing aggressive is out of option since China really lacking in airpower other than Leang. You won't have enough resources to go through his arty platforms and mines.
But trying to go defensive also doesn't really helps much. Go full gatling? His Maus refuses to take damage, and his arty destroys everything. Go with Nuke sites? Blimps will destroy your base and his arty is still an issue.
Tao/China also has the money issues on map that's lacking with resources since every single one of the good units are locked behind tech buildings, and Hackers/Hack truck just doesn't bring that much money when compared to USA oil rigs. He's very lacking in general power too, unlike USA where you can pretty much disable 1 SW when you reach Rank 4 with command truck combo.
I've never been good with China, but this is just ridiculous. Been trying more than 10 resets even though I destroyed him with ease when playing the 4 USA generals. Anyone got tips to beat him? This was on hard.
Finally able to beat him after multiple retries. I haven't found an exactly foolproof strategy, but my victory run is to play full turtle with fallout bunkers line filled with Tank hunters to handle the blimps, and the most important; 2-3 Typhoon artillery ordered to attack ground non stop on the choke point, since this is the only unit in your arsenal that can outrange his arties, and hope that the missile RNG and radiation kills his Hand of Nurgles so that your bunkers doesn't die before the blimps arrives.
Try to get at least 1 nuke silo and fire it on his base so you'll get experience for that general powers and soften up the assault thanks to the leftover nuke radiation.
Avoid propaganda center/hackers early on and just rely the money from depo, oil, and mobile command center. Rush nuclear research plant followed by the nuclear warfare bunker so you can build the typhoons which is crucial for victory in my strategy.
And try to kill the megaman cannon as fast as possible since this usually cause more damage to your base.
Try to kill the annoying toxin bunkers near your base as fast as possible. During his blimps attack, usually it will gets destroyed in the crossfire, causing even more damage to your base. This is why bunkers are really good since they can withstand the toxin cloud unlike gatling guns.
Also a hot tip, you can garrison bunkers with mortar troops, this is pretty good early on to handle his Scourges since you haven't unlocked the Typhoon yet.
The hardest part is when the game reaches the 10-12 minute mark when he launches his first volley of Squd Storm followed with 3-4 blimps from 2 direction.
The squds are inevitable so make sure to spaces out the base defenses from your buildings and make sure to micro the typhoon so it doesn't die from the blimps, yet make them still constantly fire so you're not overwhelmed by his ground troops and arties.
Abuse the AI aggro mechanics and constantly repair the bunkers while it was getting fired at by the blimps.
Withstand this attack and you might have a chance to win this map, just need to constantly suppress his base with nukes and radiations so he cant rebuild while amassing money with hackers and just steamroll his base with either overlords, gat. tanks, kirovs, and helix with missle bunkers.
Without a doubt, this is the hardest gen challenge I've ever play so far. I have to micro like crazy and abuse alot of the AI mechanics just to win.
What I'm seeing from all these comments is that Juhziz is just flat-out impossible for some generals to beat. Mainly Thrax, because he doesn't have any air power.
Good to know.
